Daniel
Certified High School Chemistry Tutor
Daniel
BA Arizona State University • Doctor of Dental Science, Dentistry University of California Los Angeles
13+ Years Tutoring

Dental school entrance exams and a microbiology degree both demand fluency in chemistry — Daniel has worked through concepts like stoichiometry, gas laws, and solution chemistry not just in coursework but in preparation for the DAT, where those topics are tested under real pressure. He teaches the reasoning behind balancing equations and predicting products by connecting them back to the atomic-level behavior that makes each reaction make sense, rather than handing students a list of rules to memorize.

Certified High School Chemistry Tutor
Tim
BA Zhejiang University
1+ Years Tutoring

Tim's physics and engineering background gives him a quantitative lens on chemistry that's particularly useful for topics like stoichiometry, gas laws, and thermochemistry — areas where students often struggle with unit conversions and proportional reasoning. He approaches chemical concepts through the math and physical principles underlying them, which can click for students who think more like scientists than memorizers.

Rachelle
BA Arizona State University • Juris Doctor, N/A Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law
14+ Years Tutoring

Rachelle's philosophy degree might seem unrelated to chemistry, but the logical reasoning she honed at ASU — graduating Summa Cum Laude — translates directly to working through dimensional analysis, stoichiometry setups, and the if-then logic of predicting reaction products. She teaches students to treat chemistry problems like arguments: identify what you know, figure out what's missing, and build a chain of reasoning to get there.

Ansh
BS Case Western Reserve University

I have over two years of tutoring and teaching experience at Case Western Reserve University. I served as a Supplemental Instructor for ENGR 145 (Chemistry of Materials), where I created worksheets, led review sessions, and helped students develop strong conceptual foundations. I later worked as a Teaching Assistant for ENGR 210 (Circuits and Instrumentation), grading assignments and assisting students with hands-on circuit building and lab work. As a Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track, I specialize in tutoring pre-health and engineering courses, including General and Physical Chemistry, Math, Biology, Physics, and Anatomy and Physiology. I also provide MCAT preparation in the B/B, C/P, and P/S sections. My teaching approach focuses on clear explanations, active problem-solving, and adapting to each student's learning style. I strive to make challenging material approachable while helping students build confidence and independent learning skills.

Amanda
MS University College london • BA Mount Holyoke College
1+ Years Tutoring

Stoichiometry and gas laws tend to click faster when a tutor can tie them back to how molecules actually behave in living systems — and Amanda's dual background in biology and anthropology means she's been applying chemistry concepts across disciplines for years, not just memorizing them in isolation. She digs into the quantitative reasoning behind mole conversions and reaction balancing, building the kind of step-by-step logic that carries students through tougher units like equilibrium and thermochemistry. Rated 4.9 by students.

5+ Years Tutoring

Mole conversions, gas laws, and acid-base equilibria each have their own logic, and River teaches them as connected ideas rather than isolated formulas to memorize. Coming from a conservation biology program at ASU, he spent semesters applying chemistry concepts in lab settings — titrations, spectrophotometry, buffer calculations — which gives him a practical feel for how the math and the chemistry fit together. He's rated 4.8 by students.

Sebastian
AS Arizona State University
6+ Years Tutoring

Organic chemistry was Sebastian's toughest course in his pre-med program at Arizona State — and the one that taught him the most about how to actually learn chemistry, from the ground up. That experience shapes how he teaches high school topics like bonding, nomenclature, and reaction classification: he walks through the underlying logic so students build real understanding before layering on calculations. He also tutors general chemistry at the university level, so the high school material stays sharp.

Spencer
MS Thunderbird School of Global Management • BA Brigham Young University-Provo
1+ Years Tutoring

Chemistry clicks once a student sees the logic behind it — why certain elements bond, how moles connect mass to particle count, what's actually happening during a reaction. Spencer treats each concept as a puzzle to solve rather than a formula to memorize, drawing on his own coursework in science and math to show how stoichiometry and periodic trends follow predictable rules.

14+ Years Tutoring

Working as a civil engineer means Alina uses chemistry principles — stoichiometry, material properties, reaction behavior — in practical contexts like concrete mix design and water treatment, which gives her a grounded way to explain why these concepts exist beyond the textbook. She walks students through the quantitative reasoning behind problems step by step, especially in areas like dimensional analysis and mole calculations where the setup matters more than the formula. Rated 5.0 by students.

Cameron
PhD Stanford University
14+ Years Tutoring

Genetics research at the PhD level means Cameron has spent years thinking about chemistry from the molecular side — how bond energies drive protein folding, why electronegativity shapes the behavior of biological molecules, and what makes certain reactions thermodynamically favorable. That perspective gives a concrete anchor to high school topics like bonding, periodic trends, and reaction energetics, turning abstract rules into something students can trace back to how molecules actually behave.
