The Chemistry Regents throws curvature balls with its reference table — students who don't know how to navigate Table S for electronegativity or Table H for solubility end up memorizing facts they could just look up. Devansh earned a 95+ on the exam himself and teaches students to treat that referen...

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students typically struggle most with stoichiometry, equilibrium concepts, and thermodynamics—topics that require both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Mole calculations, limiting reactants, and Le Chatelier's Principle often trip up students because they demand multi-step reasoning. Additionally, understanding electron configuration, bonding types, and how they relate to molecular properties can be abstract for many learners. A tutor can break these concepts into manageable pieces and connect them to real-world applications, making them less intimidating.

The Chemistry REGENTS includes questions about lab safety, experimental design, data analysis, and common procedures like titrations and gas collection—so lab experience is essential. Many students struggle because they haven't had enough hands-on practice or don't understand how to interpret lab data and draw conclusions. A tutor can walk you through typical lab scenarios, explain what to expect in questions about experimental error and precision, and help you practice analyzing graphs and tables from real experiments.

You'll need to be comfortable with dimensional analysis (converting between units), solving algebraic equations, using scientific notation, and interpreting graphs and data tables. Many Chemistry REGENTS questions test whether you can set up and solve stoichiometry problems, calculate molarity, or work with the ideal gas law—all of which require solid math fundamentals. If math isn't your strength, a tutor can help you practice these calculations repeatedly until they become automatic, so you can focus on the chemistry concepts rather than getting stuck on the math.

The reference table is your friend—it includes the periodic table, solubility rules, common equations, and constants you'll need. However, many students waste time searching for information or don't know which equations apply to which problems. A tutor can teach you how to efficiently navigate the reference table, practice using it under timed conditions, and help you memorize the most frequently used equations and concepts so you're not constantly flipping back and forth. Knowing the table well actually saves you time during the exam.

Taking at least 3-4 full-length practice tests under timed conditions is a solid benchmark, but quality matters more than quantity. Each practice test should be followed by a detailed review where you understand why you missed questions and identify patterns in your weak areas. A tutor can help you select high-quality practice materials, administer timed tests to simulate exam conditions, review your mistakes thoroughly, and adjust your study plan based on what the tests reveal about your understanding of specific topics.

The Chemistry REGENTS has multiple sections with different question types—multiple choice, short answer, and extended response—each requiring different pacing strategies. Students often spend too much time on difficult multiple-choice questions early on and rush through the extended response section where they can earn more points. A tutor can teach you how to quickly identify easy versus hard questions, when to skip and come back, and how to allocate your time so you have enough for the longer problems. Practice under timed conditions is key to developing this skill.

Start by taking a diagnostic practice test and carefully analyzing which topics and question types you missed—not just the overall score. Common weak areas include kinetics and reaction rates, acid-base chemistry, redox reactions, and organic chemistry basics. Once you identify your specific gaps, a tutor can create a focused study plan that spends more time on those topics, uses targeted practice problems, and revisits the concepts from different angles until they click. This targeted approach is much more efficient than reviewing everything equally.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your knowledge, so building genuine confidence through mastery is the best antidote. A tutor can help you practice problems repeatedly until you develop automaticity, take timed practice tests to get comfortable with the exam format, and learn test-taking strategies that reduce uncertainty. Additionally, tutors can help you recognize which questions you truly don't know versus which ones you're second-guessing yourself on, and teach you to manage your time so you're not panicking about running out of time.
