Michelle
Certified IB Chemistry Tutor
Michelle
BA Duke University
6+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience at Duke means Michelle spends her coursework deep in the chemistry that underpins biological systems — reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and the molecular interactions that IB Chemistry tests heavily at both SL and HL. She brings that applied perspective to topics like equilibrium and energetics, connecting abstract calculations to the biological contexts that make them easier to internalize. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Kaitlyn
BA Fairfield University
8+ Years Tutoring

As a medical student with a biology degree, Kaitlyn has worked through the full chemistry sequence that IB Chemistry draws from — and she knows which concepts, like stoichiometry and acid-base equilibria, need to be second nature before the SL or HL exam hits. She tackles the quantitative side by connecting calculations to the biological systems she studies daily, which makes abstract formulas feel less like busywork and more like tools with a purpose. Rated 4.8 by students.

Rick
BA University of Central Florida
6+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's depth — particularly in energetics, equilibrium, and organic chemistry — demands more than surface-level memorization, and Rick has taught exactly these topics as a Supplemental Instruction leader for General and Organic Chemistry at UCF. He knows the IB exam's data-based question format rewards students who can interpret experimental results quickly and reason through unfamiliar scenarios. His structured, step-by-step teaching style is well-suited to the rigor IB expects.

Priya
BA University of Central Florida
6+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's internal assessment alone can feel overwhelming before students even get to the thermodynamics and kinetics on the exam. Priya tackles both sides — she teaches the conceptual depth IB expects on topics like enthalpy cycles and redox electrochemistry while also coaching students through designing and writing up their experimental investigations. Her 4.8 rating speaks to that dual approach.

Rithika
BA Stanford University
5+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's internal assessment alone can make or break a final score, and the jump from stoichiometry to thermodynamics to organic chemistry requires more than rote memorization. Rithika completed the full IB Diploma program herself and tackles each topic by breaking down the underlying logic — why equilibrium shifts, how electron configurations predict reactivity — so the exam's data-response questions feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Daniel
BA United States Naval Academy
5+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's internal assessments and multi-step equilibrium problems trip up even strong science students, especially at Higher Level. Daniel studied chemistry at the U.S. Naval Academy and has tutored the subject since 2017, so he knows how to walk through thermodynamics calculations, redox balancing, and the data-analysis style IB examiners reward. His structured approach to lab report writing and exam technique keeps the workload from feeling overwhelming.

Maria
Current Undergrad, Biological Sciences Florida International University
1+ Years Tutoring

Going through the full IB programme from middle school through diploma gave Maria firsthand experience with the curriculum's unique demands — the way IB Chemistry weaves together stoichiometry, bonding theory, and redox into layered exam questions that test understanding, not just recall. She unpacks multi-part problems by isolating each concept so students can see exactly where their reasoning needs tightening. Her biological sciences degree also means she naturally connects chemical principles to biochemical applications students encounter in other IB courses.

9+ Years Tutoring

IB Chemistry's internal assessment alone can feel overwhelming before you even get to stoichiometry, equilibrium, or thermochemistry on the exam. Alec studied chemistry as a minor at the University of Miami, so he can unpack everything from periodicity trends to organic reaction pathways at the depth IB expects. He also teaches structured approaches to data-based questions that tend to trip students up on Papers 2 and 3.

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.

A physics degree builds the kind of quantitative instinct that translates directly to IB Chemistry's toughest areas — energetics calculations, kinetics rate expressions, and the mathematical modeling behind equilibrium constants. Payal uses that foundation to break down problems where the math and the chemistry intersect, which is exactly where most IB students lose marks. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.
