English Tutor • +10 Subjects
I have the Master of Arts degree from Pepperdine University. From my under- graduate college days on, I have taught ages from older elementary through older adults in one-on-one, class room, camp, auditorium and church settings. These presentations have also taken place during hosting a 21-day Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Greek Isles Tour and 7-day tour to Brazil. In addition to Brazil I instructed through a translator for 1 month of college in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and on various occasions in Mexico and the Navajo Reservation in the SW U.S.A.In summary, I have served in leadership roles with various non-profit boards where skills were developed in interpersonal communications. I have conducted well over 50 special event activities in 11 states and 4 foreign countries, with over 2500 participants, as well as consulting on many topics for churches and businesses.With my education, ministerial, college instructing, non-profit and life experiences, I am looking forward to those who would be interested in any of a broad range of subjects, including but not limited to those I am most excited about: History, Social Studies, Ethics, World Religions, Religion, and Theology.Believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, I am a proponent of not only education but of continuing education. Some of my continuing education included: Marriage Preparation and Enrichment certification, Managing Conflict seminars and workshops, special faculty training from University of Phoenix and many other professional, specialty training workshops. I trust this enthusiasm and appreciation will be imparted to all of my students.In my spare time, I enjoy family time, reading, an active church participation and some sports, all which enriches my life!

Elsbeth
Biology Tutor • +6 Subjects
I recently graduated from Indiana University (IU) with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Life Sciences with a concentration in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Gender Studies. While I was at IU, I was a teacher's assistant (TA) for Molecular Biology. While this can be a difficult subject, I loved being able to explain the intricacies of it to students during office hours. I was also a member of Alpha Chi Sigma, a professional chemistry fraternity, for three years; we provided free Chemistry tutoring once a week and helped students with test prep. My favorite job I've ever had was as at an IU summer program for freshmen, where I was a TA for a class about feminist and psychoanalytic film analysis of horror movies. I absolutely loved working with my students and introducing them to the new, weird world of horror movie analysis. Currently, I tutor for Biology, History, English, and Social Studies. I'm very excited about this opportunity to be a tutor because I know what it's like to struggle in a class, and I wish I would have reached out to a tutor myself. It's so important for students to have the resources they need to succeed in and even enjoy their education. My hope is that through tutoring, I can show students another way of looking at the subject. In my spare time, I've been devouring audiobooks and podcasts about history, race, gender, and colonialism while I play Pokemon on my Switch.
Tabitha
American Literature Tutor • +11 Subjects
Greetings! I am an instructor of writing at Northeastern University. American literature and culture is my passion and my specialty area. I am also an experienced researcher and academic writer. In the spring of 2016 I finished my PhD in English at Northeastern University, and since then I have been teaching college writing courses and tutoring international students, mostly from China, Korea, and Russia. Working with students to help them succeed in the areas of literature, cultural studies, writing, and grammar brings me great joy. There is nothing better, and more fulfilling than helping others find success.
Melissa
Academic Coaching Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a 2016 graduate of the University of Southern Maine. I have my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a Minor in English. I was selected to be the student commencement speaker for my graduating class and have additional experience with public speaking and group facilitation. I graduated at the top of my economics department while in undergrad and served as a teacher's assistant (TA) for two of my economics professors while in school. I was also a part of the women's outdoor track and field team and was co-chair of multiple student groups on campus. I tutored my classmates in English, writing, public speaking, economics, and business primarily but have assisted with other subjects as well, such as statistics.I truly enjoy working with students as it is most rewarding to help students reach their full academic potential, which is not always realized in a classroom setting alone. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring writing because good writing is truly foundational and essential in so many areas of life. I also enjoy teaching students good study habits and organizational techniques that are conducive to greater learning and set students up for higher academic achievement and success. I would describe my teaching style as focused and collaborative, but also casual so as to make my students feel like they can ask questions at any time throughout the learning process. One of my overarching goals with tutoring is to inspire student interest in subjects that have been troublesome to them, because oftentimes it is not the subject itself, but how the subject is taught that can inspire interest.
Casey
College English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am a graduate of Ripon College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Spanish Language and Literature with high honors. I have four years of experience tutoring both Spanish and English. Since graduation I have spent the last two years living in Spain where I taught and tutored private English classes. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I am passionate about the language and about helping students understand and master its intricacies. I am an avid proponent of education because I believe that an enriched education is key to both personal and professional success. I believe that a tutor is a bridge between the student's potential and the subject matter. I believe in helping students become independent learners by fostering critical thinking skills through asking questions, presenting the information in a new light and encouraging them to feel confident and inspired while learning. In my spare time I enjoy enriching my body and mind through reading, hiking, dancing and traveling.
Ruth
English Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am currently working towards a BS in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University. In the past I have worked with middle school orchestra students at an arts summer camp, where I was a volunteer Teacher's Assistant. During this camp I ran sectionals with small groups of students and sat in with the violinists to help individual students in large group rehearsals. I have some tutoring and organization experience by working with my high school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation, where we offered free tutoring to other high school students. I am most passionate about tutoring algebra and pre-calculus, because I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of math. I also tutor English and SAT prep. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and practicing as many different instruments as I can get my hands on!
Kimberla
Elementary School Tutor • +24 Subjects
I knew I wanted to teach by the third grade. I went into teaching right after high school and graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education four years later. I eventually acquired a Masters in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College. I've taught grades K-6 as a full time classroom teacher in Michigan, Arkansas, and Texas. I've taught online to Ohio and two different countries. I worked as a math specialist for two years of my career. I've also worked as a scorer for standardized tests in math and writing. I opened my own daycare and tutoring services (Mrs. Teacher's Tutoring Lab) while raising my own little one. Therefore, I've been involved in all aspects of education and enjoyed every bit of it. I've developed a lot of skills over the years to close learning gaps, enhance the high achiever, and help the average student reach new goals; so that all can have a pleasant and interesting learning experience. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with thermodynamics and kinetics—understanding reaction rates, activation energy, and entropy requires strong conceptual thinking beyond memorization. Equilibrium calculations and acid-base chemistry also trip up many students because they involve multiple steps and require fluency with ICE tables and pH/pOH conversions. Additionally, stoichiometry and limiting reagent problems demand careful attention to detail and unit conversions, which compound when combined with gas laws or solution concentration problems. A tutor experienced in AP Chemistry can break these topics into manageable pieces and help you build the problem-solving patterns that make them click.
Free-response questions require you to show your reasoning, not just arrive at an answer—and that's where many students lose points. A tutor can teach you how to structure responses that clearly show your work, identify what the question is really asking, and avoid common mistakes like forgetting units or skipping intermediate steps. They'll also help you practice time management on the exam, since you typically have limited time per question. Working through past FRQ examples with a tutor helps you recognize question patterns and develop a consistent approach to multi-part problems.
These topics combine multiple skills at once—you need to balance equations, understand molar relationships, track significant figures, and sometimes convert between different concentration units or temperature scales. When one foundational skill is shaky, the whole problem falls apart, which makes it hard to know where to focus your studying. A tutor can identify exactly which step is causing confusion (is it the setup, the math, or understanding what the answer means?) and rebuild your confidence in that specific area. Breaking these problems into smaller, repeatable steps makes them far less intimidating.
Time management is critical—the multiple-choice section moves fast, so you need to recognize which questions you can answer quickly and which ones to flag and return to. On free-response, reading the question carefully before diving into calculations saves you from solving the wrong thing. Many students also benefit from learning how to estimate answers before calculating, which helps you catch errors when your result is wildly off. A tutor can help you develop a personal strategy based on your strengths—whether that's tackling easy questions first, working backwards from answer choices on MC, or organizing your FRQ responses in a way that earns partial credit even if your final answer is wrong.
AP Chemistry requires both—you need to understand why reactions happen the way they do, but you also need to be fluent enough with calculations that you don't get bogged down in arithmetic during the exam. The best approach is to learn a concept, work through a few guided examples where a tutor explains the reasoning, then practice similar problems on your own to build automaticity. Once you can solve a problem without hesitation, you can focus your mental energy on harder questions. A tutor helps you avoid the trap of either memorizing procedures without understanding them or getting so caught up in theory that you can't apply it to actual problems.
Taking a practice test or diagnostic quiz under timed conditions is the best way to identify your weak spots—you'll see which topics you consistently miss and which ones trip you up because of careless mistakes versus conceptual gaps. A tutor can review your practice test results with you and help you distinguish between topics that need more study time and ones where you just need to slow down and be more careful. They can also help you prioritize based on how heavily topics are weighted on the actual AP exam—for example, bonding and molecular structure, kinetics, and equilibrium are high-yield topics that appear frequently. This targeted approach means you're not wasting time reviewing things you already know well.
Yes—while tutoring focuses primarily on content and problem-solving, a tutor can help you understand the chemistry behind experiments you're doing in class, explain why certain procedures matter, and teach you how to analyze lab data. They can also help you prepare for any lab-based questions on the AP exam by walking you through how to interpret graphs, identify sources of error, and design experiments that answer specific questions. If your school includes a lab component in your course, understanding the underlying chemistry makes both the lab and the exam questions about experimental design much clearer.
AP Chemistry moves fast, and the combination of complex concepts and timed pressure can trigger anxiety that actually makes it harder to think clearly. A tutor helps by building your confidence through repeated, successful problem-solving—when you've worked through similar questions many times with support, you're less likely to panic when you see a new one. They can also teach you specific strategies for staying calm during the exam, like taking a few deep breaths before starting, reading questions twice, and knowing when to skip a hard question and come back to it. Regular practice with a tutor under timed conditions is one of the best ways to reduce test anxiety because it makes the exam feel familiar rather than shocking.
