Natasha

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +50 Subjects

I'm a graduate student at MIT. I started tutoring from my first year of undergrad because I had such wonderful experiences when I was in high school learning with friends and upperclassmen. I am personally a social learner- I learn best when I'm talking and wrestling with concepts out loud and in a group. When I can express myself coherently, I know I have mastered the material. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, painting, art, books

Alec

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent Cornell University graduate (Dec '23) majoring in Biological Sciences with a focus on Genetics, Genomics, and Development. My passion lies in healthcare, as I am currently preparing to attend medical school this upcoming fall. However, I have always had an interest in teaching. I started as a general chemistry TA, supporting students during problem solving sessions. Then, I helped teach our genetics lecture course, coordinating individual and group tutoring sessions that guided students in content application. This position transformed into a leadership role, organizing our teaching team while spearheading an initiative to train fellow teaching assistants in pedagogical techniques that I learned in a course I took on the art of teaching. Lastly, in an ethics of medicine course of non-STEM majors, I prepared and facilitated discussion sections on current topics in personalized medicine. These experiences, combined with my time as a teaching assistant in correctional facilities, helped me grow as a varsity tutor now going into my 4th year on this platform. Given this breadth of experience teaching diverse and unique students, I am eager and excited to support young scientists in any subject related to this field.

Andrew

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +51 Subjects

I am a current graduate student at Columbia University in the City of New York. Tutoring since high school, I have worked with students ages 11-22 (from middle school through college) in subjects as varied as math, organizational skills, PRAXIS prep, and of course, biochemistry! Additionally, I am well-versed in GRE, SAT, ACT, and AP exam coaching. Outside of the classroom, I have and continue to work in biochemical laboratories, play viola in an orchestra, and cross-country hike. As a student of pedagogy, I adapt to each student's unique needs to deliver hands-on approaches that use real world examples and provide mastery in comprehension. I believe that knowledge is power, but only in the application and advancement of knowledge can one find success.

Abrahim

Middle School Math Tutor • +81 Subjects

I am passionate about teaching because I understand greatly a lot of the academic struggles and problems students may face through education, especially as a first generation college student. Currently I am studying for my medical doctorate degree (M.D.) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I graduated UCLA with a Biology degree with Asian Languages minor in 2019, cum laude honors. Both during my undergrad and days since, I had a chance to tutor private clients in Southern California and work for a few exam prep companies. I enjoy tutoring math, sciences (chemistry, biology mainly), social sciences (history, politics), essay writing, and Japanese. I also help assist in studying for standardized exams (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject, AP, MCAT, PCAT, OAT)! My tutoring style will be very direct in trying to identify gaps in knowledge and working/practicing on those gaps. I like to be interactive and answer the students' questions directly. I strongly believe education is one path in which students may be able to reach their dreams and I will be your supporter along the way. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, practicing martial arts, and watching anime/playing games.

Rojin

Applied Mathematics Tutor • +116 Subjects

I have recently finished my BSc in chemical biology and MM from UBC, in the hopes of going to medical school afterwards. Therefore, I have scientific knowledge at a fourth-year level. I have also taken AP chem, physics, and calculus AB in high school, so I can also help with those and provide tips for the AP exam. I have expertise in all fields of science and math at the university level. I am willing to go through any concept that you are struggling with and come up with some practice questions to help you better understand the concept. I am very passionate about the subjects I'm learning and I want to help younger students also fulfill their potential and be more successful in the future. I can use different methods in order to make the concepts as easy as possible.

Ademola

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a scientist who received both my Master's and Bachelor's in science at McGill University. I am primarily focused on teaching the sciences and mathematics to students. My experience centers around teaching high school students and I have had the opportunity to teach university students as well. My priority in teaching is to help students feel comfortable in the sessions by helping them improve their studies and making it a fun environment for them. I hope that as we learn about each other they also feel the sessions making a positive impact on them rather than viewing them as a punishment or a place to spend an hour or so.

Rahul

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Physical Chemistry sits at the intersection of chemistry and physics, requiring students to master abstract concepts like thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and kinetics while also handling rigorous mathematical problem-solving. Many students struggle with visualizing molecular-level phenomena and connecting equations to real chemical behavior. The combination of conceptual difficulty, mathematical intensity, and the need to apply multiple problem-solving approaches makes it one of the most demanding chemistry courses.

A strong Physical Chemistry tutor breaks down abstract concepts like entropy, enthalpy, and reaction rates by connecting them to observable phenomena and real-world examples. Rather than simply memorizing formulas, tutors help you understand why equations work the way they do, how to set up problems strategically, and how to recognize which principles apply to different scenarios. This deeper understanding makes it easier to tackle unfamiliar problems on exams and in labs.

Unit conversions and dimensional analysis are critical tools in Physical Chemistry, but many students rush through them or treat them as busywork. The key is learning to use dimensional analysis as a problem-solving strategy—it helps you set up complex calculations correctly and catch errors before they snowball. A tutor can help you develop systematic approaches to these conversions, practice with varied problem types, and build confidence so you can use dimensional analysis as a safety check rather than a source of anxiety.

Physical Chemistry labs give you hands-on experience with the abstract concepts you're studying—measuring reaction rates, observing phase changes, or collecting calorimetry data makes thermodynamic principles tangible. A tutor can help you understand the purpose of each experiment, predict expected outcomes based on theory, interpret your results critically, and write clear lab reports that demonstrate both technical skills and conceptual understanding. This bridges the gap between equations and real chemistry.

Most Physical Chemistry courses require significant out-of-class time—typically 10-15 hours per week for solid understanding, including problem sets, lab preparation, and review. The depth of material and problem-solving demands mean that passive reading isn't enough; you need active practice with diverse problem types and frequent review of concepts. Working with a tutor can make this time more efficient by helping you focus on high-impact activities, identify gaps quickly, and develop effective study strategies tailored to how you learn best.

An effective Physical Chemistry tutor combines deep subject knowledge with strong teaching ability—they should be able to explain why concepts matter, break complex ideas into manageable pieces, and guide you through problem-solving without just giving you answers. Look for someone who can help you visualize abstract phenomena (using analogies, diagrams, or simulations), diagnose the root of your confusion, and adapt explanations to your learning style. The best tutors also help you build test-taking strategies and scientific reasoning skills, not just memorize formulas.

Yes—tutoring is particularly valuable for targeted exam preparation. A tutor can identify which concepts are holding you back (perhaps quantum mechanics or statistical mechanics), explain them from a different angle than your textbook or professor, and give you targeted practice with exam-style problems. Working through past exams together also reveals patterns in question types and helps you develop strategies for approaching unfamiliar problems under time pressure, which is where many students falter in Physical Chemistry.
