Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors
serving Los Angeles, CA

From balancing redox reactions to predicting solubility, chemistry rewards students who understand the "why" behind each rule. Nicole spent her UCLA years tutoring friends and family through general chemistry while completing her own pre-med prerequisites, so she knows exactly where students get stuck — particularly on mole conversions, gas laws, and equilibrium. She earned cum laude honors and a Phi Beta Kappa nomination along the way.

Neuroscience at Pomona College meant Whitney spent serious time in chemistry — from balancing redox reactions to understanding thermodynamics and acid-base equilibria at the molecular level. She breaks down intimidating topics like stoichiometry and molecular geometry by connecting them to real-world applications in biology and medicine.

Having studied both physics and mathematics at Clark University, Sarah sees chemistry through the quantitative and conceptual lenses simultaneously — she can explain why electron orbitals shape bonding behavior and then seamlessly walk through the math of a calorimetry or dilution problem. Growing up between Los Angeles and Paris also gave her practice translating complex ideas across languages, a skill that transfers surprisingly well to translating chemistry's symbolic shorthand into plain, intuitive reasoning.

I am passionate about the subjects that I tutor and I enjoy passing my enthusiasm for learning on to my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, camping, being outdoors, traveling, and doing yoga. My future goals include completing my graduate degree by August 2016 and becoming a GIS Analyst working in the environmental field.

I am a current undergraduate student at Occidental College, where I am majoring in Chemistry. I have a passion for teaching and engaging students with their education. There is little that is more rewarding than aiding a struggling student successfully. In high school, I was a member of the National Honors Society and relished the opportunities that organization provided me to tutor others. I love learning, and I love sharing that with others. What better way to engage others learning than tutoring?I enjoy video games and other computer related tasks, baseball, basketball, and I love to read.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and the mole concept are where most chemistry students first feel lost — and where Aaron digs in deepest. He uses a conversational teaching style, asking students to explain each step of a problem aloud so gaps in understanding surface immediately. His pre-med science background at UCSB gives him daily fluency with the chemistry concepts he teaches.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base reactions all follow predictable logic once you see the patterns — and Timothy's medical training has kept him working with chemical principles long after his own chemistry courses ended. He unpacks each problem type by identifying what's given, what's missing, and which relationship connects the two, turning intimidating calculations into manageable steps.

Shant's psychobiology degree from UCLA required deep coursework in general and organic chemistry, so he teaches concepts like stoichiometry, molecular bonding, and reaction equilibria with the confidence of someone who's applied them in biological contexts. He breaks down intimidating topics by connecting abstract chemical principles to real-world processes students can visualize. Rated 5.0 by students.

Stoichiometry, electron orbitals, equilibrium constants — chemistry is full of concepts that look intimidating until someone shows you the logic underneath. Mitch's engineering background means he treats every problem as a system to break down, connecting molecular behavior to the math that describes it. Rated 5.0 by students.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and molecular bonding all require a different kind of thinking than most students expect from a science class. John completed a full STEM chemistry sequence at Loyola Marymount as part of his biology and pre-med track, so he knows exactly where the conceptual gaps tend to form. He unpacks each reaction type with visual models and dimensional analysis practice that builds real problem-solving fluency.

A biology degree means Nicholas spent years relying on chemistry daily — from balancing redox reactions to interpreting equilibrium constants in biochemical systems. He teaches general chemistry topics like stoichiometry, acid-base equilibria, and thermochemistry by connecting each concept to a bigger picture, so students see how one chapter's ideas feed directly into the next.

Strong chemistry intuition comes from understanding why atoms behave the way they do, not just memorizing solubility rules or balancing equations by rote. Zhenrui's dual path through engineering and premed at Columbia means he's taken chemistry courses that span general, organic, and physical chem — and he uses that breadth to show students how concepts like thermodynamics and bonding connect across the entire subject.

A dual background in ecology and molecular biology gave Siavash an unusually broad view of chemistry, from thermodynamics and equilibrium to atomic structure and bonding. He unpacks tricky concepts like stoichiometry and reaction kinetics by tying them to tangible examples from the lab bench, making the math-chemistry overlap less intimidating.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and electron configurations all demand a different kind of thinking than most students expect from science — it's abstract, quantitative, and detail-heavy. Pooja approaches chemistry by linking each calculation back to what's physically happening at the molecular level, so the math feels purposeful. Her science background at UC Irvine means she can connect chemistry concepts to biology and physics contexts students may already understand.

Understanding the mole concept changes everything in chemistry — suddenly balancing equations, calculating yields, and predicting reactions all share the same underlying logic. Justin unpacks that logic by starting with dimensional analysis and building outward to stoichiometry, gas laws, and solution chemistry. His science-heavy coursework in neuroscience and physiology gave him years of practice applying these exact principles.

Teaching chemistry alongside biology and college-level life sciences gives Kellie a feel for where the two fields overlap — enzyme kinetics, cellular respiration, and acid-base buffering all require solid chemistry reasoning to actually understand. She leans into that interdisciplinary angle when explaining concepts like reaction energetics or equilibrium, building intuition for why a reaction behaves the way it does rather than treating each topic as an isolated formula to memorize.

I'm an affable chemistry-loving person whose joy come from delivering knowledge :D

Balancing equations and memorizing the periodic table are just the surface — chemistry clicks when a student understands why atoms bond the way they do. Mark approaches topics like stoichiometry and molecular geometry by building up from electron behavior, so each new concept feels like a logical next step rather than a disconnected rule to memorize.

Balancing equations is mechanical, but understanding why a reaction proceeds — electronegativity, intermolecular forces, thermodynamic favorability — requires a different kind of thinking. Tito tackles chemistry from both angles, making sure students can handle the calculations and articulate the conceptual reasoning behind them.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base reactions each require a different kind of thinking, and Caroline switches gears naturally between them because her molecular biology program at Berkeley demanded fluency across all of general chemistry. She taught Berkeley's introductory biology lab, which meant reinforcing chemical principles — buffer systems, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics — in a hands-on setting every week. That lab-bench perspective makes her explanations unusually concrete.

Pre-med coursework in biological sciences means Fady has taken chemistry from general through organic and biochemistry — and knows exactly which concepts trip students up at each level. He's particularly strong at unpacking stoichiometry and acid-base problems, breaking the math and the chemical logic apart so students can tackle each piece before putting them back together.

Understanding chemistry often comes down to one shift: seeing atoms and molecules as real things that behave predictably, not just symbols on a page. Alan's biology degree required extensive chemistry coursework — organic, general, and biochemistry — so he can walk through concepts like bonding, equilibrium, and reaction energetics with concrete examples from the lab. His 4.7 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks with students.

Between his physics coursework and his current role managing a Columbia immunology lab, Matthew approaches chemistry from both the theoretical and applied sides. He's particularly effective at demystifying topics like reaction kinetics, acid-base equilibria, and molecular orbital theory — areas where students often memorize rules without understanding the underlying logic that makes those rules predictable.

A chemistry degree from MIT gives Max fluency across the discipline — thermodynamics, equilibrium, electrochemistry, kinetics — but what makes him effective is his habit of letting students arrive at conclusions themselves rather than handing them answers. He sets up problems so that the logic of stoichiometry or periodic trends reveals itself step by step, building real understanding that holds up on exams.

David approaches chemistry by anchoring every new idea to something tangible: stoichiometry becomes a recipe problem, electron orbitals explain why molecules have specific shapes, and equilibrium constants predict which direction a reaction actually goes. That habit of connecting abstract rules to observable outcomes comes from his neuroscience training at Yale, where chemistry was the foundation for everything else.

A summa cum laude biochemistry degree from Rice plus years of medical school coursework gave Sugi deep fluency across general chemistry — from stoichiometry and equilibrium through electrochemistry and coordination compounds. She teaches the reasoning behind each concept so students can tackle unfamiliar problems, not just reproduce memorized steps. Rated 5.0 by students.

Cornell's Chemistry & Chemical Biology program gave Samantha a deep grounding in everything from Lewis structures and equilibrium to reaction kinetics — and her food science focus means she's used to explaining how those principles play out in real, tangible systems like fermentation and pH-dependent reactions. She's a visual teacher who reaches for diagrams, models, and drawings to make abstract molecular behavior click. Rated 5.0 by students.

From balancing equations to predicting products, chemistry rewards students who understand the logic underneath each rule. Li approaches topics like mole conversions and periodic trends by building up from atomic structure, so students can reason through problems instead of relying on memorized shortcuts.

The periodic table isn't just a chart to memorize — it's a map that predicts bonding behavior, reactivity, and molecular geometry if you know how to read it. Matthew teaches chemistry through that lens, connecting electron configuration to the "why" behind everything from Lewis structures to acid-base reactions. His biochemistry research at Yale keeps these ideas grounded in real applications.

A chemistry degree gives Sung the depth to teach everything from stoichiometry and equilibrium to organic reaction mechanisms and thermodynamics at the college level. He treats problem sets as opportunities to trace the reasoning behind each step — balancing equations, for instance, becomes an exercise in conservation laws rather than trial and error. Rated 5.0 by students.

From stoichiometry and equilibrium to thermodynamics and acid-base chemistry, Josef approaches each topic by tying it back to observable phenomena he encountered in Cornell's research labs. He scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT's Chemical and Physical Foundations section, which required exactly the kind of rapid, conceptual chemistry reasoning he now teaches.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics all share one thing in common: they reward students who understand the "why" behind each calculation. Bidyut's biomedical engineering training at Johns Hopkins required deep chemistry coursework, and he draws on that background to explain concepts like reaction kinetics and molecular bonding with precision. He's especially good at walking through dimensional analysis and unit conversions until they become second nature.

Balancing equations, predicting reaction products, understanding mole ratios — chemistry has a language of its own, and Nima teaches students to read it fluently. His physics degree gives him an unusual strength in the quantitative side of chemistry, from unit conversions to gas law calculations, where many students first start to struggle.
