Emerson
Certified IB Chemistry Tutor
Emerson
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

Periodic trends, VSEPR theory, redox reactions — IB Chemistry covers an enormous range, and Emerson treats each topic as a building block for the next rather than an isolated unit to memorize. He completed IB coursework himself and understands how the program's internal assessments and exam papers reward conceptual depth over rote recall. His biology and psychology double major at UChicago reinforces the chemical foundations he teaches.

Juan
BA University
6+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's internal assessment alone can make or break a final grade, and the HL content on energetics, equilibrium, and redox demands precise quantitative reasoning. Juan's strength here comes from his statistics and engineering math training — he's comfortable with the calculations behind Hess's law, electrode potentials, and rate-order analysis. He approaches each topic by tying the math to the chemistry so neither half feels disconnected.

Gaurav
BA University of Miami
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a law student, but I took an unusual route to get there. I used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took. Tutoring is something, I feel, that has come naturally to me, even back to my high school days. My goal is to help you learn as much as you can and reach your true potential. I will work hard to make sure that this happens, as long as you put in the work, too! We will work together to tailor your learning experience to your needs.

Nicholas
PhD University of South Florida-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Nicholas's PhD work in genetics required heavy coursework in physical chemistry and biochemistry, which means the thermodynamic and kinetic principles underlying IB Chemistry's HL topics — energetics, equilibrium, and reaction rates — are concepts he's applied in actual research contexts. He also teaches biostatistics and quantitative reasoning, so when IB questions demand interpreting experimental data or working through multi-step calculations, he can walk through the logic behind each number rather than just the procedure. Rated 4.8 by students.

Evan
BA Trinity University
7+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's internal assessment alone can overwhelm students before they even get to equilibrium constants or redox titrations. Evan approaches the course by tying abstract chemical principles back to real-world systems — how bonding governs material properties, how thermodynamics predicts what actually happens in a reaction. His science background across biology, chemistry, and engineering means he can pull examples from multiple fields to make tough concepts land.

Risha
BA University
4+ Years Tutoring

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.
