...For the purposes of tutoring, my main proficiency is in chemistry, physics, math, Spanish, ACT/SAT prep, and some English. I think that tutoring is not about teaching but about learning.

Chemical Engineering Tutoring FAQ
Becoming a successful chemical engineer means meeting numerous challenges. A chemical engineer needs to master laboratory practices as well as theoretical knowledge. They need to learn how to apply their critical thinking skills and creativity in order to design efficient and practical systems. If you could use some guidance to help make the most of your chemical engineering education, a private tutor may help you do so. Private instruction can be conducted either in-person or via face-to-face online tutoring, or a combination of both.
Private tutoring is effective because it focuses on the individual needs of each student. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors consider a variety of factors before connecting you with a qualified private chemical engineering tutor. One of the primary considerations is your experience with the material at hand. They also contemplate your concerns, your curriculum and class syllabus, and the ways in which you learn best as they help you select the tutor who can guide you toward achieving your academic goals. Your tutor can take these same factors into account when creating a personalized learning plan to follow during your tutoring sessions. If you feel you need to work on quantum mechanics, but fully understand process design, your tutor can focus on the former.
You can work at whatever pace suits you best. There's no need to rush to keep up with a class or slow down because you understood something more quickly than your peers. Your tutoring options are also as flexible as possible. Tutoring is available for short-term goals, such as preparing for final exams. It is also available for longer periods of time, such as over an entire semester or more. You also determine when and where your tutoring sessions take place. For instance, you can hold sessions at a nearby library on a weeknight or at your favorite cafe on the weekend. Tutoring can even be done in your home or through our online live learning platform. No matter the situation, your tutor can adapt.
Varsity Tutors connects students with some of the most qualified tutors around. Many private instructors have attended a number of notable Ivy League colleges. The mission of Varsity Tutors is to connect learners to top tutors who are capable of providing an outstanding learning experience. No matter your stage in life or your level of education, the educational directors at Varsity Tutors can find the instructor who is right for you. Its network of tutors are proficient in their respective fields, having earned a bachelor's degree or higher in chemical engineering. Thus, you can rest easy knowing you are in qualified hands.
Tutoring is an effective way of learning. Students who receive tutoring display greater academic gains than those who don't receive private instruction. The gains help increase confidence, which facilitates the achievement of academic success and an improved attitude toward education. Tutoring can help improve your work habits. It can also help increase your ability to manage your own learning by providing immediate feedback. If homework seems increasingly challenging or if you have significant anxiety before a test, then tutoring could be right for you. Additional advantages of tutoring include fewer distractions, immediate help with homework, and the ability to focus on the specific concepts you find most challenging.
Don't make learning the principles and skills behind chemical engineering any more difficult than it needs to be. Instead, get assistance to help you make sense of the topics that confuse you. Call Varsity Tutors today for more information about connecting with chemical engineering tutoring services, and begin the process of selecting the tutor best suited to help you!

Recent Chemical Engineering Tutoring Session Notes
Today, the student and I covered topics related to evolution and natural selection with a focus on Equilibrium. I mostly clarified topics related to H-W equilibrium because the student still felt unclear about its significance and use. I feel confident he understood my message at the end of our session, however I still feel he could use a firmer grasp on the difference between allele frequency and genotype frequency in ideal populations. Otherwise, he is strong in his understanding of evolution.
We reviewed for the student's test on evolution the following day by reviewing:
- Analogous vs Homologous Structures
- Artificial vs Natural Selection
- Speciation and Hybrid Species
- Three main types of evidence for evolution
- Radiometric Dating
- The Contributions of Lyell, Darwin, Wallace, Malthus, and Linnaeus on our understanding of Evolution.
We reviewed his last test and quiz which both showed marked improvement.
For this session, we focused on the student's new chapter on reproduction. She started with plant reproduction. So, we covered the anatomy of the male and female plants, including the stamen and pistil. We also went over the difference between a spore and a pollen grain. Along the same lines, we covered how fertilization occurs in plants, pollen grain binding to the stigma leading to the formation of a pollen tube. She struggled the most with understanding the alternation of generations of plants and how a plant can go from being haploid to diploid and then back to haploid. To help her better understand this, I used a diagram showing that plants can only produce gametes during certain stages of their life cycle.
The student and I worked on concepts for his upcoming assessment on Evolution and the origins of life. He recently took a quiz. Last week, I made a review game for him. Next week, we plan to start reviewing for his end of course test.
Material discussed was a review on photosynthesis and glycolysis with an emphasis on its function, reactants, and products. Genetics was reviewed including a quick review of DNA and RNA, and then we proceeded to cover the central dogma of biology (DNA to RNA to Protein, as well as its variations), translation and transcription, meiosis (gametes, zygotes, and ploidy number), heredity and inheritance (including how to utilize Punnett squares), and lastly an overview of mutations (insertions, deletions, and substitutions and their effects on an organism).
The student started her unit on evolution. We reviewed a take-home quiz in which she did well with defining terms related to fossils, geological layers, organs, and structures. She struggled with understanding molecular clock theory and reading branching diagrams. We covered a basic intro to Darwin's theory and its origins. She did well with differentiating between individual mutation and adaptation of a population.
