Chicago Chemistry Tutoring FAQ
If you or your student is struggling with chemistry, Varsity Tutors can find expert Chicago chemistry tutors who can help you overcome your difficulties. When you work with private instructors, you can get support in studying almost any topic in chemistry such as the electronic structure of atoms, common acids and bases, and isotopes and nuclear symbols.
With a wide range of topics, chemistry can be an intimidating subject for students. They can experience challenges at any stage of their education. If your student is finding it hard to remember the elements on the periodic table or if they're having difficulties understanding chemical bonds, a patient and knowledgeable private instructor can provide detailed explanations to help them make sense of these topics.
If you are a high school student studying the different types of chemical reactions or need extra practice with balancing equations, your Chicago chemistry tutoring instructor can provide exercises to help you increase our skills in these topics.
How is Chicago chemistry tutoring different from classroom learning?
When you're studying with a large class, it can be hard to always keep up with the lessons. Different factors such as your physical condition at the time of the lesson and your ability to focus can affect the way how you process information. There can also be a lot of distractions in the classroom that can break your concentration.
Private lessons with Chicago chemistry tutors are done in a one-on-one academic setting, so you or your student can study in a quiet, distraction-free location. You can also go through your lessons minus the stress and pressures of the classroom, so you could focus much better when working on your exercises. Whether you are studying radiation and radioactivity, atomic and electronic structure, or types of inorganic chemical reactions, you can study at your own pace with your mentor.
In a class, it's not uncommon for students to space out or not be able to completely follow what their teacher is explaining. This is where Chicago chemistry tutoring can help your student. During their private sessions, they can review any previous topic they studied at school with their instructor.
Since the sessions take place online and there are no other students, their instructor can spend as much time as necessary to help your student clear up any misunderstood points about a topic. If your student has questions about element groups, atomic mass and atomic mass number, or any other concept, they can ask their instructor directly and receive immediate and relevant explanations.
Aside from helping your student review a wide range of chemistry topics, expert Chicago chemistry tutors can also assist them if they want to preview any topic for their upcoming classes. Previewing topics with their mentor, especially ones that they know will be very challenging, can be a good strategy to learn the fundamental concepts taught for that lesson and be better prepared once they discuss them at school. Since your student already knows the basic ideas covered for a certain topic, they can be more confident when participating in their classroom lessons.
Chicago chemistry tutoring also lets you target your learning gaps more efficiently by skipping topics you already know and dedicating more lesson time to the ones you really need to improve on. We know that each student learns differently and at different rates, so if you've already mastered the basics of the atom but are still struggling with molecules and moles, your private instructor can provide in-depth lectures and exercises to help sharpen your skills for these topics.
What are the benefits of studying with Chicago chemistry tutors near me?
One of the best things about private instruction is that you can receive 100% of the attention of your instructor. Whenever you're stuck trying to balance a chemical equation or need to clarify a step used in calculating concentrations with units and dilutions, your instructor can provide instant feedback, help you correct your errors, and make your study time more efficient.
Studying with Chicago chemistry tutors can also help your student become more motivated to do their homework. That's because they know they can ask questions while working on their assignments. At the same time, tutors can also ask your student to explain their answers to check if they were able to properly understand the topics or concepts being tested on the assignment.
You can also benefit from a customized study plan when you study through Chicago chemistry tutoring. Astute private instructors can assess your strengths, weaknesses, and natural learning style in order to figure out what topics and skills you need to focus on and what teaching methods to use to make it easier for you to learn new concepts.
For example, if you're a visual learner, your private instructor can use flashcards and spaced repetition techniques to help increase your recall of the common acids and bases or help you study the factors that affect reaction rate. You can learn how to use mind maps when studying the different laws on gases such as Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. Studying using methods that leverage your natural learning style can make it easier for you to take in and process information, which could lead to a better understanding of the topic you're trying to learn.
How can I fit Chicago chemistry tutoring into my schedule?
We recognize that you have a busy schedule and that going to a faraway location to attend private lessons might not be the most practical and convenient solution when it comes to studying with a private instructor. That's why we created a robust and user-friendly Live Learning Platform that makes it possible for you or your student to work with the best Chicago chemistry tutors online.
Our Live Learning Platform has a video chat feature where you can see, hear, and interact with Chicago chemistry tutors as if they were just sitting right across your table. Since the lessons are online, there's no need to set aside extra hours for a commute. You can attend your lessons from the comfort of your home or online at locations like the Newberry Library or the Sulzer Regional Library - Branch of Chicago Public Library.
To make online lessons as interactive as lessons in person, our platform has a shared document editor and a digital whiteboard. You can use the document editor when working on chemistry problems with your instructor, while the virtual whiteboard can be used for sharing other important information about a topic you're studying. All online sessions are recorded on the platform as well, so it's easy to revisit any past lesson.
How can I get started with Chicago chemistry tutors near me?
