Having scored a 36 on the ACT and taught honors chemistry alongside AP-level math and statistics, Ethan brings a quantitative sharpness to college chemistry that's especially useful when students hit the calculation-dense stretches — gas law problems, enthalpy calculations, solution stoichiometry. His environmental science background also means he can ground abstract topics like chemical kinetics and equilibrium in real-world systems where those principles visibly play out. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most college chemistry students don't expect a math major to be the one who makes electron configurations or equilibrium expressions click — but Tessa's mathematics training at Yale means she can cleanly separate the quantitative mechanics of a problem from the chemical reasoning, which is exactly where most gen chem confusion hides. She also scored a 36 ACT and holds a 4.9 rating, though what matters more is her knack for showing students the logical structure underneath topics that otherwise feel like pure memorization.
I am a PhD student in Inorganic Chemistry at Yale University. I've been spreading my love of chemistry for the past several years as a TA for general chemistry, and I'm excited to share my passion with you! Prior to Yale, I got my B.S. in chemistry from Caltech, where I also served as a TA for both general chemistry lab and advanced inorganic chemistry. Outside of teaching and research, I enjoy fencing, reading, and playing piano.
Premed coursework at Yale put Kaitlin through the full gauntlet of gen chem — from electron configurations and VSEPR theory to equilibrium and electrochemistry — alongside some of the most rigorous problem sets in the country. She picked up study strategies along the way that turn dense material into something manageable, breaking each topic into the conceptual piece and the quantitative piece so students can pinpoint exactly where they're getting stuck.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Chemistry usually covers atomic structure, bonding, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, and redox reactions. Many courses also include lab components where you'll apply concepts through experiments and learn proper scientific methodology. The exact curriculum varies by institution, so it's helpful to review your syllabus to identify which topics need the most support.
Balancing equations requires understanding both the symbolic representation of reactions and the conservation of mass principle—it's not just memorization. Many students find it helpful to work through the process systematically rather than guessing, and to visualize what's actually happening at the molecular level. Personalized tutoring can break down the step-by-step approach and help you build confidence with increasingly complex equations.
College Chemistry tutors can help you understand the theory behind experiments, predict outcomes, and analyze results—connecting what you learn in lecture to what you observe in the lab. They can also guide you through data analysis, error evaluation, and scientific reasoning skills that are critical for lab reports. This integrated approach helps you see chemistry as a coherent discipline rather than separate lecture and lab experiences.
Unit conversions and stoichiometry are foundational skills that require practice and a clear understanding of dimensional analysis. Rather than memorizing formulas, it helps to learn the logic behind the conversions—why you multiply or divide by specific ratios. Tutors can walk you through problems step-by-step, help you identify common patterns, and build your confidence so these calculations become second nature.
Abstract concepts like bonding, molecular geometry, and electron behavior are easier to grasp when you can see them represented visually or work through models. Tutors often use diagrams, 3D models, and real-world analogies to help you build mental pictures of what's happening at the atomic level. Once you can visualize these concepts, the math and problem-solving become much more intuitive.
Your first session is an opportunity for a tutor to understand your current level, identify specific challenges (whether it's balancing equations, thermodynamics, or lab skills), and learn your learning style. Together, you'll discuss your course goals and create a personalized plan to address your needs. This foundation helps ensure that every subsequent session is focused and productive.
Yes—tutoring goes beyond content review to develop your scientific thinking skills.
