Between a microbiology degree and a doctorate in dental science, Daniel has taken more chemistry than most people ever will — from stoichiometry and equilibrium through acid-base reactions and thermodynamics. He explains each concept by connecting it to something tangible, like how buffer systems keep blood pH stable, which makes abstract formulas easier to internalize.

A lot of early chemistry confusion comes down to the mole concept — students can balance equations and name compounds but freeze when asked to convert between grams, moles, and particles. Jake zeroes in on that unit-conversion logic early, building the kind of quantitative reasoning that makes later topics like solution concentration and gas laws far less intimidating.
Four years as a Military Police Officer in the Arizona Army National Guard built Rachelle's discipline for methodical problem-solving — a skill she now applies to walking through nomenclature, mole conversions, and reaction balancing step by step. Her philosophy training at Arizona State (summa cum laude) also sharpens how she teaches students to reason through multi-step problems, since constructing a logical argument and setting up a stoichiometry calculation require the same careful chain of reasoning.
From balancing redox equations to interpreting equilibrium expressions, chemistry rewards students who understand the 'why' behind each calculation. Amanda teaches the conceptual reasoning alongside the math — explaining why Le Chatelier's principle works the way it does, not just how to apply it on a worksheet. She holds a 4.9 rating and draws on her biology and chemistry training to show how chemical principles connect to the natural world.
Stoichiometry, molecular geometry, acid-base equilibria — chemistry is full of topics that look intimidating until someone shows you the pattern underneath. Madeleine's applied math training means she's comfortable with the quantitative side, while her physical sciences coursework at Barrett Honors College covered general and analytical chemistry in depth. She connects each concept to a clear framework so students can solve problems confidently, not just follow recipes.
Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and periodic trends all start to make sense once a student sees the logic underneath — River's approach is to teach that logic explicitly rather than hand over a set of shortcuts. His conservation biology degree at ASU required organic chemistry, biochemistry, and general chemistry sequences, so he's comfortable across the full introductory curriculum. Rated 4.8 by students.
Tutoring general chemistry at Arizona State for the past year, Sebastian has seen firsthand where students get stuck — stoichiometry, equilibrium expressions, and thermodynamics tend to top the list. He tackles each topic by connecting the math to what's actually happening at the molecular level, which makes balancing equations and solving ICE tables feel less mechanical.
A biochemistry degree from ASU's Honors College means Hritik didn't just study chemistry — he lived in it, from organic reaction mechanisms to thermodynamics to lab technique. He's particularly effective at unpacking stoichiometry and equilibrium problems, two areas where students often memorize formulas without understanding the logic underneath. His 4.0 GPA speaks to the depth of that understanding.
Balancing equations, understanding molarity, and navigating stoichiometry all require a kind of structured problem-solving that comes naturally to Alina after earning her civil engineering degree. She approaches chemistry the way she approaches engineering problems — by identifying what you know, what you need, and which relationships connect them. That methodical style is especially effective for students who feel overwhelmed by multi-step chemistry calculations.
Geochemistry was a core part of Paul's undergraduate training, so concepts like stoichiometry, chemical bonding, and reaction equilibria aren't textbook abstractions for him — they're tools he used to analyze mineral compositions and environmental samples. He walks students through problem-solving strategies that make balancing equations and unit conversions feel systematic rather than overwhelming.
From balancing redox reactions to predicting molecular geometry with VSEPR theory, chemistry rewards students who understand the 'why' behind each rule. Hanna tutored chemistry extensively at Arizona State and went on to apply it daily in her medical school coursework, so she explains concepts like stoichiometry and acid-base equilibria with both academic rigor and practical context. She holds a 5.0 student rating.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base reactions — chemistry is full of concepts that seem disconnected until someone shows you the thread running through them. Arpita ties topics together using color-coded notes and diagrams developed through her biology honors program at Emory, where general chemistry is foundational to everything she studies. She's rated 5.0 and treats every question as worth answering fully before moving on.
A biochemistry degree means Charles didn't just take chemistry — he lived in it, from stoichiometry and gas laws through organic reaction mechanisms. He approaches tricky topics like mole conversions and equilibrium by walking through the logic step by step rather than handing students a formula to memorize.
A PhD in Genetics means Cameron understands chemistry from the molecular level up — how electron orbitals shape bonding, why reaction kinetics matter in biological systems, and how thermodynamics governs everything from enzyme catalysis to gas behavior. He breaks down abstract concepts like equilibrium and stoichiometry by tying them to real processes students can visualize.
Engineering students at Georgia Tech take rigorous chemistry coursework covering stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and molecular bonding — so Naveen knows firsthand which concepts trip students up and which shortcuts actually hold up under pressure. He teaches dimensional analysis and reaction balancing as systematic processes, giving students a reliable method instead of guesswork.
Balancing equations and predicting products becomes far less intimidating once a student understands what's actually happening at the atomic level. Maurice teaches chemistry by connecting stoichiometry, periodic trends, and bonding concepts to a coherent picture of how matter behaves. His math fluency also means unit conversions and mole calculations never become a separate obstacle.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry calculations are where most chemistry students first feel lost, and Pooja addresses both by slowing down the dimensional analysis process until each conversion step is clear. Her biology background at the University of Houston also means she can connect chemical concepts like acid-base equilibria and bonding to real biological systems students may already understand.
Mechanical engineering coursework threw Daniel into the deep end of chemistry early — material science, thermodynamics, and combustion all required him to genuinely understand concepts like bonding, phase changes, and reaction energetics rather than just pass a gen-chem exam. He uses that applied perspective to teach topics like stoichiometry and gas laws by showing students the logic driving each calculation, so the steps make sense instead of feeling like arbitrary recipes.
Leading informal review sessions for general chemistry at UC Berkeley taught Yuxuan which concepts consistently confuse students — stoichiometry that seems straightforward until limiting reagents appear, or acid-base equilibria that fall apart once buffers enter the picture. He explains each topic by building from the atomic-level reasoning up, so students can troubleshoot unfamiliar problems instead of relying on memorized shortcuts.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base titrations — chemistry demands both conceptual understanding and careful quantitative reasoning. Musa's year in ASU's tutoring center showed him exactly where students get stuck, from balancing redox reactions to interpreting Le Chatelier's principle under pressure. He walks through each problem type until the underlying logic is clear, not just the arithmetic.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics each require a different kind of thinking, and jumping between them is where most chemistry students lose their footing. Ekta tackles each topic with structured problem-solving: set up the relationships, track the units, check the logic. Her biomedical engineering coursework gave her deep practice with these concepts in both general and applied chemistry settings.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics each require a different kind of thinking — dimensional analysis for one, conceptual reasoning for another, and mathematical modeling for the third. Paul identifies which mode a student needs to strengthen and tailors his explanations accordingly, drawing on his strong science background to ground abstract formulas in real chemical behavior.
I am fluent in English (professional) and Mandarin (native). From my 25+ years in universities and major companies in the industry (as engineer, software developer, team manager), I worked extensively, face-to-face, with people and groups of diversified culture and professional background in roles from teaching, training for 1:1 or large audience, customer support world wide, product demonstration and publication presentations at leading industrial conferences.
I have over two years of tutoring and teaching experience at Case Western Reserve University. I served as a Supplemental Instructor for ENGR 145 (Chemistry of Materials), where I created worksheets, led review sessions, and helped students develop strong conceptual foundations. I later worked as a Teaching Assistant for ENGR 210 (Circuits and Instrumentation), grading assignments and assisting students with hands-on circuit building and lab work. As a Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track, I specialize in tutoring pre-health and engineering courses, including General and Physical Chemistry, Math, Biology, Physics, and Anatomy and Physiology. I also provide MCAT preparation in the B/B, C/P, and P/S sections. My teaching approach focuses on clear explanations, active problem-solving, and adapting to each student's learning style. I strive to make challenging material approachable while helping students build confidence and independent learning skills.
I am a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles- Letters of Science department. I received my Bachelor's in biological sciences in June 2020. While in school, I worked part-time as an Accounts Payable Assistant for the library business services and I volunteered a lot of my time providing assistance to hospitalized geriatric populations at UCLA medical center. I was also part of a free clinic community where I provided preventive medicine advice and performed glucose and blood pressure exams on the medically underserved communities in South Los Angeles. In addition, as part of a Peer Mentorship Program, I guided incoming freshmen in getting adjusted to the college environment and provided resources for academic services available on campus. Since graduation, I have worked as an Accounts Receivable Specialist, tutored students on Upchieve and Junior Achievement online platforms, and improved my learning and organizational skills using skillshare. While I am interested in tutoring a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching Science, Math, and English. I am a strong advocate for education and I truly believe in the power of collaborative learning and helping students achieve their academic goals. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, going on hikes, and participating in volleyball and badminton matches!
I am a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. Throughout all four years of high school, I tutored my peers in subjects such as chemistry, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Passionate about sharing my learning with younger students in the community, I was also a primary instructor for the Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I spent three years teaching math and reading to students who ranged from pre-K to 12th grade. Additionally, as an assistant instructor for the Arizona Science Center's Camp Innovation, I empowered youth by delivering science programming to children between the ages of four and seven. Through such experiences, I've realized the impact that I can have as a tutor.
I am a rising sophomore at Duke University. My dream is to become a doctor someday, so I am currently on the pre-med track and taking several chemistry and biology courses. Although my current focus is in science, I have a passion for history and culture. This past summer I participated in a study abroad program in Costa Rica, where I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with people from several different backgrounds, such as an indigenous tribe and the "ancianos" from a senior living home. Because this invaluable experience, I am continuing my studies in Spanish language and culture. Because I graduated high school only a year ago, the subjects that I was taught are still fresh in my mind, especially AP courses. I am very familiar with the AP curriculum, as I have taken 10 AP classes over the course of high school, and spent a fair amount of time preparing and learning strategies for taking the tests. I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring in Algebra, Spanish, and History. My primary concern is to foster a positive environment for the student, so they feel confident in asking me questions and comfortable making mistakes. In my free time, I play badminton, read fiction, serve the community, and go on the occasional hunt for Pokmon.
I am an attorney located in Scottsdale, Arizona. I received my law degree from Tulane University in New Orleans. I graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in History and Economics as well.
From balancing redox equations to working through equilibrium and acid-base titration problems, Gordon breaks chemistry down into the underlying patterns that make each unit build on the last. His ASU biology background required extensive coursework in general chemistry, so he teaches it with an eye toward how these principles show up in real lab and life science contexts.
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I majored in International Relations and Russian and of Thunderbird School of Global Management where I earned an MBA in International Business. My college and graduate studies include coursework in Writing, Literature, Geography, History, Political Science, Russian, Music, Business, Math, Science, and Art. Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I am also a very experienced writer and editor. In my free time I enjoy hiking, literature, ultimate Frisbee, international travel, soccer, baking, music, strategy games, and philosophical discussions. I have lived in Africa, Western Europe, and Russia and visited over a dozen countries. Please note that due to the many different subjects I have studied, the list of classes above is not complete. If you have tutoring needs for a very specific subject, I may well have taken a course in that area. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base reactions all require a kind of disciplined reasoning that Jessica developed through years of medical training, where chemistry underpins everything from pharmacology to metabolic pathways. She breaks down each problem type into a clear sequence of decisions rather than a wall of formulas to memorize.
From balancing equations to predicting products, chemistry rewards students who understand the logic underneath each rule. Li approaches topics like mole conversions and periodic trends by building up from atomic structure, so students can reason through problems instead of relying on memorized shortcuts.
Stoichiometry, electron configurations, and acid-base equilibria each require a slightly different way of thinking, which is part of what makes chemistry so tricky. Laura's coursework in college chemistry at WashU means she's recently wrestled with these topics at a high level and remembers exactly where the common pitfalls are. She walks through problems step by step until the logic — not just the answer — is clear.
A chemistry degree gives Sung the depth to teach everything from stoichiometry and equilibrium to organic reaction mechanisms and thermodynamics at the college level. He treats problem sets as opportunities to trace the reasoning behind each step — balancing equations, for instance, becomes an exercise in conservation laws rather than trial and error. Rated 5.0 by students.
From balancing redox equations to working through stoichiometry and equilibrium problems, Brittany breaks chemistry down into repeatable problem-solving steps.
