Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors
serving New Haven, CT

Getting comfortable with chemistry means seeing the logic behind it — why electrons behave the way they do in bonding, how that explains solubility, and how solubility connects to reaction predictions. Ethan walks through these cause-and-effect chains so that students build intuition instead of relying on memorized rules that fall apart on unfamiliar problems.

Double-majoring in mathematics and history at Yale, Tessa tackles chemistry problems by emphasizing the quantitative reasoning underneath them — setting up equilibrium expressions, working through stoichiometry ratios, and interpreting rate law data all come naturally when the math isn't a barrier. Her 36 ACT composite reflects the same kind of cross-disciplinary precision she brings to breaking down why a reaction proceeds the way it does, not just what happens.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and periodic trends all demand a different kind of thinking than most students are used to. Max approaches chemistry by connecting the math to the molecular-level picture — moles aren't just a conversion factor, they're a way of counting atoms. He's a 5.0-rated tutor currently studying at Yale.

I am a PhD student in Inorganic Chemistry at Yale University. I've been spreading my love of chemistry for the past several years as a TA for general chemistry, and I'm excited to share my passion with you! Prior to Yale, I got my B.S. in chemistry from Caltech, where I also served as a TA for both general chemistry lab and advanced inorganic chemistry. Outside of teaching and research, I enjoy fencing, reading, and playing piano.

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry has a way of stacking concepts so that one shaky idea undermines everything that follows. Kaitlin tackles this by identifying exactly where a gap exists and rebuilding understanding from that point forward. Her premed training at Yale gave her deep fluency with these foundational topics.

I am a senior at the University of New Haven working on a B.S. in Forensic Science-Biology with a Pre-Medical designation who hopes to go to medical school in the future. I am most passionate about biology and chemistry but have a strong personal interest in history, especially topics overlooked in the past study of history. To me, learning is a life long process and leads to the development of a well-rounded individual. Seeing understanding of a difficult topic and creating enthusiasm for learning is what draws me to tutoring.

From building a summer chemistry camp for younger students at Domus Stamford to coaching a Chemistry Olympiad team, Richard has taught this subject at every level. He digs into the "why" behind stoichiometry, electron configurations, and reaction types so that problem-solving becomes intuitive rather than formulaic. That range means he can adjust explanations on the fly depending on whether a student needs the basics or competition-level depth.

Most chemistry questions come down to the same core skill: understanding what's happening at the atomic level and translating that into math. Noah earned a biochemistry degree magna cum laude and is now deep into a medicinal chemistry PhD, so he can take topics like stoichiometry, gas laws, or acid-base equilibria and explain the 'why' behind each calculation. He makes the periodic table feel like a tool students actually know how to read.

A molecular biology degree means Chantel didn't just take chemistry — she lived in it, from balancing redox reactions to understanding thermodynamics in biological systems. She teaches stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry by linking each concept to the larger question of why matter behaves the way it does.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base titrations — Lily tackles these by building up from the atomic-level reasoning that makes chemistry click instead of feel like a grab bag of formulas. Her neuroscience degree required deep coursework in general and organic chemistry, so she's comfortable moving between conceptual explanations and quantitative problem-solving.

Sabine earned her B.S. in Chemistry, so topics like acid-base theory, reaction kinetics, and molecular polarity aren't just textbook chapters — they're the core of her training. She explains the logic driving chemical behavior at the atomic level, making it easier for students to predict outcomes rather than memorize them. Rated 5.0 by students.

Understanding chemistry means building a mental model of what atoms are actually doing — not just balancing equations on autopilot. Patrick digs into the reasoning behind stoichiometry, molecular geometry, and reaction energetics so that students can predict outcomes instead of memorizing steps. His background spans general chemistry through graduate-level coursework, giving him range across the entire discipline.

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry has a reputation for feeling like a new language. Perry approaches it that way, teaching students the underlying grammar of moles, bonding, and reaction types so that problem-solving becomes intuitive rather than formulaic.

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, and equilibrium calculations all demand a specific kind of careful, step-by-step reasoning. As a pre-med biomedical engineering student at Yale, Ellie uses chemistry constantly — from biochemistry coursework to her research in the School of Medicine. She's particularly good at teaching students to set up dimensional analysis and reaction problems methodically so they stop making the small errors that tank exam scores.

From balancing redox equations to working through stoichiometry and equilibrium problems, Brittany breaks chemistry down into repeatable problem-solving steps. She tutored both undergraduate and graduate students in General Chemistry I and II at the University of Pennsylvania's Tutoring Center, so she's seen the full range of places where concepts fall apart and knows how to rebuild them.

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, equilibrium — chemistry demands comfort with both abstract models and precise calculations. Priya's math background at Vanderbilt gives her a natural advantage when it comes to the quantitative side, and her experience tutoring science since high school means she can unpack the conceptual reasoning behind things like why certain reactions are spontaneous or how molecular geometry shapes polarity.

A summa cum laude biochemistry degree from Rice plus years of medical school coursework gave Sugi deep fluency across general chemistry — from stoichiometry and equilibrium through electrochemistry and coordination compounds. She teaches the reasoning behind each concept so students can tackle unfamiliar problems, not just reproduce memorized steps. Rated 5.0 by students.

David approaches chemistry by anchoring every new idea to something tangible: stoichiometry becomes a recipe problem, electron orbitals explain why molecules have specific shapes, and equilibrium constants predict which direction a reaction actually goes. That habit of connecting abstract rules to observable outcomes comes from his neuroscience training at Yale, where chemistry was the foundation for everything else.

Balancing equations and unit conversions might seem straightforward, but chemistry gets genuinely tricky once gas laws, equilibrium expressions, and acid-base calculations enter the picture. James majored in chemistry at Harvard and has tutored students across general and organic chem, so he knows how to connect early concepts like mole ratios to the more complex problems they enable later. That forward-looking approach keeps students from having to re-learn fundamentals mid-semester.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics all click faster when you can see the math underneath them — and JF's math and computer science background at Stanford means that quantitative backbone comes naturally. He breaks down problems like limiting reagent calculations and ICE tables into logical steps that make the numbers feel intuitive rather than overwhelming.

Mechanical engineering at Harvard means Christopher lives in the overlap between chemistry and physics — material properties, thermodynamics, and reaction energetics show up constantly in his coursework. He breaks down topics like bonding, gas laws, and enthalpy calculations by tying them to tangible engineering problems, which gives abstract concepts a concrete anchor. Rated 4.8 by students.

A neuroscience degree with a chemistry minor means Matt didn't just take general chemistry — he built on it through organic, analytical, and biochemistry courses that kept reinforcing core principles like equilibrium, thermodynamics, and molecular bonding. He unpacks abstract concepts like Le Chatelier's principle or orbital hybridization using concrete examples that make the logic click rather than feel arbitrary.

Balancing equations, understanding mole ratios, distinguishing ionic from covalent bonds — chemistry has a vocabulary and logic all its own. John spent years teaching and chairing a science curriculum in Philadelphia, which gave him a sharp sense of how to sequence these ideas so each one builds naturally on the last.

Tim taught chemistry to middle and high school students at a STEM summer camp, where he learned to explain concepts like stoichiometry and molecular bonding without relying on the textbook's notation-heavy approach. His computational science background at MIT also means he's comfortable with the quantitative side — equilibrium calculations, thermodynamics, and kinetics — that trips up students transitioning from conceptual to problem-solving chemistry.
