Risha
BA University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

Marcus
BA Arizona State University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Arizona State University. I received my two Bachelors of Science degrees in Biological Sciences (Animal Physiology and Behavior) and Political Sciences with a certificate in Civic Education. Since graduating, I have started working with the Denver Math Fellows helping close the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology. I find that for most students what makes any subject hard is being unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content they desire at their current level. I believe the most important way to help students learn in is to relate content to their current interests and future goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading non-fiction about technology and neurobiology, hiking, watching sports (mainly football and basketball) and listening to jazz and classical music.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chemistry involves visualizing molecules, atomic structures, and reactions that can't be seen with the naked eye—making it challenging for many students. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to break down these abstract ideas using diagrams, models, and real-world examples tailored to how you learn best. Whether you're struggling with electron configurations, molecular geometry, or reaction mechanisms, a tutor can work at your pace to build genuine understanding rather than just memorization.

Balancing equations is one of the most common stumbling blocks in chemistry, but it becomes manageable with the right approach. Tutors can teach you systematic strategies—like identifying oxidation states, using the inspection method, or mastering redox balancing—and then practice equations with you until the process feels intuitive. Rather than memorizing rules, you'll develop problem-solving skills that apply across different equation types.

Absolutely. Lab work teaches the scientific method and helps you see chemistry concepts in action, but many students struggle with data collection, analysis, and drawing conclusions. Tutors can help you understand experimental design, work through pre-lab questions, analyze your results, and connect what happened in the lab to the theory behind it. This builds both your technical skills and your ability to think like a scientist.

Unit conversions and dimensional analysis are foundational skills in chemistry that show up in stoichiometry, gas laws, thermodynamics, and more. Personalized tutoring breaks this down into manageable steps, showing you how to set up conversion factors logically and avoid common mistakes. With targeted practice and immediate feedback, you'll build confidence tackling problems that require multiple conversions.

The best time to start is when you first notice concepts becoming confusing—whether that's early in the semester or before an exam. With Denver's 14.4:1 average student-teacher ratio across the district's 9 school systems, classroom instruction can feel rushed. Getting connected with a tutor early helps you build a strong foundation in foundational topics like atomic structure and bonding, which makes everything else in chemistry (equilibrium, kinetics, organic chemistry) easier to grasp.

AP Chemistry requires both deep conceptual understanding and the ability to apply that knowledge to complex problems—a challenging combination for many students. Tutors can help you master the big ideas (like atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, and kinetics), develop strong problem-solving strategies for the free-response section, and build your skills in analyzing data and experimental design. With focused preparation, you'll be ready to tackle the exam confidently.
