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.
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.
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 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 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 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 not working, I can often be found outside soaking up the Colorado sun with my dog Syd.
Balancing equations and memorizing the periodic table are just the entry point — chemistry gets interesting when students start predicting what happens during a reaction and why. Jonathan digs into stoichiometry, acid-base equilibria, and bonding theory by connecting each concept to observable phenomena, an approach shaped by his extensive lab experience in Cornell's science program.
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.
From balancing redox equations to predicting molecular geometry with VSEPR, chemistry rewards students who understand the 'why' behind each rule. Garrett unpacks concepts like electronegativity trends and equilibrium shifts by tying them back to atomic structure, so students build a mental model they can apply to new problems. His science background across biology and physical chemistry gives him a wide lens for making connections that stick.
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.
Jeremy has taught General Chemistry I, Introductory Chemistry for true beginners, and a combined General/Organic/Biochemistry sequence for health professions students — so he's seen every entry point into the subject. He unpacks topics like stoichiometry, molecular geometry, and acid-base equilibria by connecting each concept to concrete, observable phenomena. Rated 4.6 by students.
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.
Substitute teaching STEM to college-prep high schoolers gave Noel a front-row seat to the exact moments chemistry loses people — usually when the logic of electron configuration or periodic trends has to translate into actual problem-solving with moles and reactions. His public policy background at UChicago might seem unrelated, but it trained him to break complex systems into cause-and-effect chains, which is exactly how chemistry works at every level. Rated 4.9 by students.
Stoichiometry is often the first real wall in Chemistry — suddenly, understanding a concept isn't enough, and students need to track units, mole ratios, and limiting reagents simultaneously. Sharan walks through these multi-step problems by teaching a consistent setup method that works from simple mole conversions all the way through solution chemistry. Her Cornell science coursework means she's solving these kinds of problems regularly herself.
As a pre-med student at Duke, Camille completed a full chemistry sequence — general through organic — and knows firsthand how abstract concepts like stoichiometry and electron configuration can feel before they finally click. She unpacks each topic by connecting molecular-level ideas to tangible examples students can actually visualize.
Studying predentistry at Vanderbilt means Sarah lives in chemistry — from atomic structure and bonding to stoichiometry and thermodynamics. She explains mole conversions and balancing equations by anchoring each step in why it works, so students can troubleshoot unfamiliar problems on their own instead of relying on memorized setups.
Stoichiometry, electron configurations, thermodynamics — Chemistry asks students to think at the atomic level while solving problems that feel like math puzzles. Michelle spent four years at Rice immersed in chemistry coursework as a biochemistry major and now applies that knowledge daily in medical school, so she can explain not just how to balance equations but why the underlying principles matter.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics all click faster when you can see the math underneath them — and JF's math and computer science background at Stanford means that quantitative backbone comes naturally. He breaks down problems like limiting reagent calculations and ICE tables into logical steps that make the numbers feel intuitive rather than overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chemistry involves visualizing molecules, atomic structures, and reactions that can't be seen with the naked eye—making it challenging for many students. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to break down these abstract ideas using diagrams, models, and real-world examples tailored to how you learn best. Whether you're struggling with electron configurations, molecular geometry, or reaction mechanisms, a tutor can work at your pace to build genuine understanding rather than just memorization.
Balancing equations is one of the most common stumbling blocks in chemistry, but it becomes manageable with the right approach. Tutors can teach you systematic strategies—like identifying oxidation states, using the inspection method, or mastering redox balancing—and then practice equations with you until the process feels intuitive. Rather than memorizing rules, you'll develop problem-solving skills that apply across different equation types.
Absolutely. Lab work teaches the scientific method and helps you see chemistry concepts in action, but many students struggle with data collection, analysis, and drawing conclusions. Tutors can help you understand experimental design, work through pre-lab questions, analyze your results, and connect what happened in the lab to the theory behind it. This builds both your technical skills and your ability to think like a scientist.
Unit conversions and dimensional analysis are foundational skills in chemistry that show up in stoichiometry, gas laws, thermodynamics, and more. Personalized tutoring breaks this down into manageable steps, showing you how to set up conversion factors logically and avoid common mistakes. With targeted practice and immediate feedback, you'll build confidence tackling problems that require multiple conversions.
The best time to start is when you first notice concepts becoming confusing—whether that's early in the semester or before an exam. With Denver's 14.4:1 average student-teacher ratio across the district's 9 school systems, classroom instruction can feel rushed. Getting connected with a tutor early helps you build a strong foundation in foundational topics like atomic structure and bonding, which makes everything else in chemistry (equilibrium, kinetics, organic chemistry) easier to grasp.
AP Chemistry requires both deep conceptual understanding and the ability to apply that knowledge to complex problems—a challenging combination for many students. Tutors can help you master the big ideas (like atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, and kinetics), develop strong problem-solving strategies for the free-response section, and build your skills in analyzing data and experimental design. With focused preparation, you'll be ready to tackle the exam confidently.
