Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors
serving Colorado Springs, CO

From balancing redox equations to predicting molecular geometry, chemistry rewards students who understand the "why" behind each rule. Colton studied chemistry extensively through his biomedical engineering program at UVA and brings that applied perspective — connecting abstract concepts like thermodynamics and equilibrium to real systems students can visualize. Rated 4.7 by students.

Studying engineering physics at Colorado School of Mines means Jude works with chemistry's core ideas — electron behavior, energy transfer, thermodynamic systems — as daily tools rather than abstract textbook topics. He uses that physics-trained intuition to unpack why reactions happen at the molecular level, particularly when students struggle with concepts like orbital theory, bond energies, or enthalpy changes that sit right at the chemistry-physics boundary. Rated 4.9 by students.

Balancing equations and stoichiometry are just the entry point — where chemistry gets interesting is understanding why reactions happen, from electronegativity trends to thermodynamic favorability. Graham is double-majoring in chemistry and astrophysics at CU Boulder with a 4.0 GPA, so he can connect abstract concepts like orbital hybridization and molecular geometry to real physical intuition. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.

I am a problem solver, and I love to help solve other's problems when they need it. I also love taking tests, and I hope that my excitement will translate to better scores for you!

I am a graduate of Arizona State University. I received my two Bachelors of Science degrees in Biological Sciences (Animal Physiology and Behavior) and Political Sciences with a certificate in Civic Education. Since graduating, I have started working with the Denver Math Fellows helping close the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology. I find that for most students what makes any subject hard is being unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content they desire at their current level. I believe the most important way to help students learn in is to relate content to their current interests and future goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading non-fiction about technology and neurobiology, hiking, watching sports (mainly football and basketball) and listening to jazz and classical music.

I am a graduate of Trinity University with a B.S. in biology and a minor in spanish. I am available for tutoring in math and science courses, as well as beginner spanish and ACT prep. In my tutoring experience, I have primarily worked with high school students in science and math courses, and have really enjoyed the opportunity to encourage enthusiasm for their classes during these sessions. I work to help my students understand the material at a conceptual level so that they can build upon what they have learned in the future, and also focus on organization in problem-solving methods. Outside of tutoring, I study physical therapy at UCD and spend my free time running and hiking with friends.

I am not working, I can often be found outside soaking up the Colorado sun with my dog Syd.

Understanding stoichiometry or molecular geometry becomes much easier when a student can visualize what's happening at the atomic level, not just balance numbers on a page. Emily's computational biology work at Cornell keeps her deeply engaged with chemical principles, and she brings that perspective to topics from bonding and Lewis structures through acid-base equilibria.

Most chemistry struggles come down to one thing: students can balance an equation but can't explain what's actually happening at the molecular level. Andrew bridges that gap by connecting stoichiometry, bonding, and reaction energetics back to how atoms and molecules physically behave — an intuition he developed through years of molecular biology research.

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.

Tim taught chemistry to middle and high school students at a STEM summer camp, where he learned to explain concepts like stoichiometry and molecular bonding without relying on the textbook's notation-heavy approach. His computational science background at MIT also means he's comfortable with the quantitative side — equilibrium calculations, thermodynamics, and kinetics — that trips up students transitioning from conceptual to problem-solving chemistry.

Stoichiometry and equilibrium tend to be the two places where chemistry students lose their footing, often because the underlying logic gets buried under conversion steps. Yu tackles these topics by making students narrate what's happening at the molecular level before touching any math. Her education training at Harvard sharpened her ability to pinpoint exactly where a concept breaks down for each learner.

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.

Balancing equations is mechanical; understanding why copper sulfate is soluble while barium sulfate isn't requires a different kind of thinking. Maggie's dual degree in economics and molecular biology means she learned chemistry from both the quantitative and the conceptual side, and she uses that range to tackle everything from mole conversions to acid-base equilibria. She's especially effective at connecting lab observations to the underlying theory.

A neuroscience degree with a chemistry minor means Matt didn't just take general chemistry — he built on it through organic, analytical, and biochemistry courses that kept reinforcing core principles like equilibrium, thermodynamics, and molecular bonding. He unpacks abstract concepts like Le Chatelier's principle or orbital hybridization using concrete examples that make the logic click rather than feel arbitrary.

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, and equilibrium calculations all demand a specific kind of careful, step-by-step reasoning. As a pre-med biomedical engineering student at Yale, Ellie uses chemistry constantly — from biochemistry coursework to her research in the School of Medicine. She's particularly good at teaching students to set up dimensional analysis and reaction problems methodically so they stop making the small errors that tank exam scores.

Balancing equations and understanding the mole concept are often the first real hurdles in chemistry, and Paula unpacks both by tying them to tangible, everyday examples. She scored a 1520 SAT and 32 ACT, reflecting the kind of cross-disciplinary thinking that makes abstract chemistry topics more accessible.

Having designed and optimized light filters for optical-electronic multiplexers, Dennis understands chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and spectroscopy from a hands-on engineering perspective. He tackles tricky chemistry topics — stoichiometry, reaction balancing, periodic trends — by grounding them in the physical principles that explain why atoms behave the way they do.

Premed coursework demands a deep understanding of chemistry, from thermodynamics and equilibrium to acid-base reactions and electrochemistry. Nishad tackles these topics by linking abstract concepts to tangible applications — explaining buffer systems through blood pH regulation, or teaching reaction kinetics through enzyme behavior.
