Rahul
Certified Chemistry Tutor
Rahul
BS Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

Cornell's chemical engineering program is notoriously rigorous on the chemistry side — physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and thermodynamics are all baked into the curriculum before students ever touch reactor design. Rahul graduated magna cum laude from that program, which means he's internalized concepts like reaction kinetics, equilibrium, and energy transfer at a level most chemistry tutors simply haven't reached. He pushes for conceptual understanding over memorization, so students learn to predict what should happen in a reaction rather than just recalling what the textbook says.
