Balancing equations, predicting reaction products, understanding molarity — chemistry builds on itself fast, and gaps in early concepts snowball quickly. Suzie earned her degree in chemical and biological engineering and is now pursuing an MD/PhD at Michigan Medical School, so she's spent years appl...

Whether it's balancing redox reactions, predicting molecular geometry with VSEPR, or working through stoichiometry problems, Kirby approaches chemistry by building up from the atomic-level reasoning rather than handing students a set of rules to memorize. Her University of Michigan biochemistry degr...

Vazrik holds a B.S. in Chemistry and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Materials Science at the University of Michigan, so concepts like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and periodic trends are woven into his daily research. He teaches chemistry by anchoring abstract ideas — electron configurations, t...

Biomedical engineering forced Adam to learn chemistry as a tool for understanding how materials interact with living tissue — corrosion behavior of implants, polymer degradation, and drug delivery all hinge on concepts like reaction kinetics, molecular polarity, and pH chemistry. That applied backgr...

Microbiology lab work at Barrett Honors College meant Surina was constantly applying chemistry — buffer calculations, reaction kinetics, acid-base titrations — in contexts where getting it wrong had real consequences. That hands-on grounding shows up in how she teaches topics like solution chemistry...

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry asks students to toggle between math and abstract models constantly, which is exactly where most confusion lives. Uchenna graduated magna cum laude in biochemistry and now applies chemical principles daily in her medical resear...

Understanding chemistry means building a mental model of what atoms are actually doing — why ionic compounds dissolve, how electron orbitals shape molecular geometry, what drives a reaction forward. Tyler is pursuing his doctorate in chemistry at the University of Michigan and tackles these ideas by...

Mole conversions, balancing redox reactions, predicting products — chemistry has a way of making each chapter feel like a completely different subject. Phil ties those threads together by showing how atomic structure and bonding principles keep reappearing in every new unit. He lets students steer e...

Studying neuroscience at Michigan means Vikhyathi encounters chemistry from the biological side first — how ion channels depend on electrochemistry, how pH shifts alter protein folding, how thermodynamics drives cellular reactions. That perspective is especially useful for teaching topics like acid-...

I am a senior in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Eastern Michigan University, and I have been tutoring for about five years, from middle school to early college age students. My hobbies are painting/drawing, playing piano and guitar, and playing with my pet rats and my cat!
