Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors
serving Virginia Beach, VA

Between his bioinorganic research, his biochemistry degree, and his current role teaching chemistry courses at VCU, Joel has spent years explaining concepts like stoichiometry, molecular orbital theory, and acid-base equilibria to students at every level. He approaches each topic by building up from the atomic-level "why" so that problem-solving becomes intuitive rather than formulaic.

Architecture training at the graduate level requires a surprising amount of chemistry — understanding material properties, how concrete cures, why certain metals corrode, and how environmental conditions affect building envelopes. Christianna draws on that applied knowledge to make topics like chemical reactions, molecular structures, and properties of matter feel less abstract and more grounded in how substances actually behave in the real world. Rated 4.8 by students.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base reactions — chemistry clicks once you stop treating each topic as its own island and start seeing the throughlines. Roshni's biology major in a BS/MD program at VCU means she uses chemistry daily and can connect abstract concepts like electron orbitals or thermodynamics to real applications in medicine and biochemistry. Rated 4.9 by students.

Between her chemistry minor and pre-med track at VCU, Shahad has worked through general chemistry from multiple angles — stoichiometry, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and acid-base reactions all show up repeatedly in her coursework. She explains mole conversions and balancing equations by tying each calculation back to what's physically happening at the molecular level.

Balancing equations and converting between moles, grams, and liters trips up nearly every chemistry student at some point — the key is building intuition for what those numbers actually represent. Brittany studies chemistry at UVA and brings that depth to foundational topics like atomic structure, periodic trends, and reaction types. She pinpoints exactly where a student's reasoning breaks down and works from there.

Balancing equations and memorizing periodic trends only gets a student so far in chemistry; the real challenge is understanding why atoms bond the way they do and how stoichiometry connects the microscopic to the measurable. Andrew's engineering background gives him a quantitative instinct for unit conversions, mole calculations, and gas law problems that many students find difficult to develop on their own. He unpacks each calculation step so the logic becomes repeatable.

I'm a graduate of the School of Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (2015). I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering, and am pursuing a Masters Degree in Business Administration from the VCU School of Business. I've been a mentor for the past four years and am very active in my method of tutoring. I have helped several students with official tests and homework assignments.

I'm a current medical student at VCU School of Medicine, and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I've had the pleasure of tutoring a diverse range of students for 5 years; while I tutor a broad set of subjects, I'm most passionate about biology, psychology, and chemistry. I'm a big proponent of ensuring understanding over memorization and teaching concepts that last for years to come (particularly for other students interested in medicine!) In my free time, I love to write poetry, edit essays, and gush about game writing with friends.

Having studied chemistry at James Madison University from organic synthesis to analytical techniques, Ava knows the full arc of the subject — which means she can trace a student's confusion in, say, equilibrium or acid-base titrations back to the specific foundational gap causing it. She's especially strong at demystifying the transition from memorizing formulas to actually reasoning through why a reaction favors products or shifts under stress.

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

I am 22 years old and a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I studied Biology and General Science as my majors, and Chemistry and Psychology as my minors when in college. These are my strongest tutoring subjects, however as a current applicant to medical school for the Fall 2018, I am also proficient in many levels of Mathematics up to Calculus 1 and used to be a Teacher's Assistant for College Algebra as well as an Academic Tutor at my university's Campus Learning Center for 3 semesters each. I am passionate about helping students achieve their full learning potential and hope to be able to assist your needs or your child's needs along their academic journey.

I am in graduate school and she is in undergraduate college, we have regular online sessions where I explain her the concepts as best as possible.

From the moment I began helping classmates in middle school study for math quizzes, I realized how much I enjoyed guiding others toward understanding. Over time, that spark grew into a genuine passion for education. What drives me most is witnessing the transformation in a student's confidencethe moment when confusion gives way to clarity, and they begin to believe in their own abilities. Tutoring, for me, is not simply about helping students achieve better grades; it's about empowering them to trust their capacity to learn and grow. My journey as a tutor began in high school, where I volunteered as a math tutor for underclassmen struggling with algebra and geometry. I worked one-on-one with students after school, helping them tackle difficult problems and build foundational skills. This early experience taught me how patience and consistent encouragement could make a lasting difference. In college, I served as a teaching assistant for general chemistry at the University of Virginia.

Hi, my name is Inaya, and I'm so excited to be a tutor! I have been tutoring for four years and in that time I have learned many different methods of tutoring. Some student need more hands on help and others just need to be guided into working on their own. Every kid is different and that is one of the greats parts of tutoring.

Balancing equations and predicting reaction products become far more intuitive when you understand the "why" behind electron behavior — that's the lens Katherine brings to chemistry. Her public health degree from UT Austin required deep coursework in general and organic chemistry, and she connects those concepts to real-world applications like drug interactions and environmental science.

Understanding chemistry means seeing the 'why' behind the math — why certain elements bond the way they do, why energy changes drive reactions forward, why solutions behave differently at varying concentrations. Donya earned her degree at the University of Maryland with heavy science coursework, and she uses that foundation to walk students through topics like stoichiometry, periodic trends, and acid-base equilibria in ways that build real intuition. She's particularly good at translating word problems into clear, solvable setups.

Stoichiometry and equilibrium tend to be the two places where chemistry students lose their footing, often because the underlying logic gets buried under conversion steps. Yu tackles these topics by making students narrate what's happening at the molecular level before touching any math. Her education training at Harvard sharpened her ability to pinpoint exactly where a concept breaks down for each learner.

Three chemistry degrees — including a master's in inorganic chemistry — give Eric an unusually deep command of the subject from general stoichiometry all the way through advanced bonding theory. He walks through dimensional analysis, limiting reagent problems, and gas law calculations with a methodical clarity that builds real problem-solving confidence.

Stoichiometry and mole conversions trip up most chemistry students because they look like pure math divorced from anything real. Caroline connects these calculations to tangible examples — like how much reactant a chemical plant actually needs — drawing on her years working at an ExxonMobil refinery. That industrial context makes balancing equations and predicting yields feel purposeful.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics all click faster when a student sees how they connect to real systems — and Kate's environmental engineering background means she can tie every chemistry concept to tangible processes like water treatment or combustion reactions. She breaks down dimensional analysis and reaction balancing into repeatable steps that build genuine confidence on exams.

When balancing equations or predicting products feels like guesswork, the issue is usually a gap in understanding atomic structure and periodic trends. Nova approaches chemistry by building that conceptual backbone first, then layering on stoichiometry and reaction types so the math and the science reinforce each other.

As a chemistry major at Johns Hopkins doing premed coursework, Czarina lives in this subject daily — from balancing redox reactions to interpreting molecular orbital diagrams. She unpacks tricky topics like equilibrium and acid-base chemistry by tying them back to the fundamental principles of energy and electron behavior. Rated 5.0 by students.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base reactions — chemistry rewards students who can think in ratios and relationships, not just memorize formulas. Sydny's triple-science undergraduate background and medical training mean she can explain why a reaction behaves the way it does at the molecular level, then connect that understanding to the math on the page.

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.

From stoichiometry and equilibrium to thermodynamics and acid-base chemistry, Josef approaches each topic by tying it back to observable phenomena he encountered in Cornell's research labs. He scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT's Chemical and Physical Foundations section, which required exactly the kind of rapid, conceptual chemistry reasoning he now teaches.

Cognitive Studies at Vanderbilt covers a surprising amount of chemistry — neurotransmitter pathways, pharmacological mechanisms, and the molecular basis of perception all require solid command of bonding, functional groups, and reaction behavior. Vy draws on that foundation when teaching topics like molecular polarity and intermolecular forces, making the abstract feel grounded by connecting it to how chemicals actually interact in the brain. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics all share one thing in common: they reward students who understand the "why" behind each calculation. Bidyut's biomedical engineering training at Johns Hopkins required deep chemistry coursework, and he draws on that background to explain concepts like reaction kinetics and molecular bonding with precision. He's especially good at walking through dimensional analysis and unit conversions until they become second nature.
