I am recent graduate from the University of South Florida with a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology as well as a B.A. in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and Biotechnology. I have a strong passion for the sciences especially biology and chemistry and I am working on applying to medical school! I also enjoy mathematics! My teaching style is very personalized, and I emphasize listening being as important as tutoring. I have worked with students of all ages from elementary to college.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base reactions all require a kind of disciplined reasoning that Jessica developed through years of medical training, where chemistry underpins everything from pharmacology to metabolic pathways. She breaks down each problem type into a clear sequence of decisions rather than a wall of formulas to memorize.
Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry has a reputation for feeling like a new language. Perry approaches it that way, teaching students the underlying grammar of moles, bonding, and reaction types so that problem-solving becomes intuitive rather than formulaic.
Studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins means Joshitha lives inside chemistry — thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, stoichiometry — every semester. She brings that depth to tutoring by walking through the reasoning behind each concept rather than handing students formulas to memorize. Whether it's balancing redox reactions or predicting molecular geometry, she connects the 'how' to the 'why.'
Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry has a reputation for being unforgiving when the fundamentals aren't solid. Caitlin approaches each topic by first making sure the underlying logic is clear (why moles exist, what electronegativity actually predicts) before layering on calculations. Her pre-med coursework at Duke keeps her sharp on both general and organic chemistry concepts.
Years of teaching middle and high school science in NYC public schools gave James a clear read on exactly where students get stuck in chemistry — whether it's the leap from counting atoms to balancing full equations, or making sense of why some reactions release heat while others absorb it. His current Doctorate of Physical Therapy program keeps him sharp on the biochemical side, reinforcing concepts like molecular interactions and acid-base chemistry in a clinical context. Rated 4.9 by students.
Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base reactions — chemistry has a reputation for being formula-heavy, but the underlying logic is surprisingly intuitive once someone lays it out clearly. Ankit's dual science background at Duke means he can connect abstract chemistry concepts to real biological and computational systems, giving students a reason to care about what's happening at the molecular level.
Lance studied chemistry as one of his three undergraduate majors, so he's deeply familiar with the conceptual leaps that trip students up — mole conversions, electron configurations, equilibrium calculations. As a current medical student, he also connects chemistry to real biological systems, which makes abstract ideas like acid-base reactions and thermodynamics feel more concrete.
A Johns Hopkins psychology degree might not scream "chemistry tutor," but Matthew's years of private chemistry tutoring — combined with his deep comfort in quantitative methods — make him especially effective at untangling stoichiometry, mole conversions, and equilibrium calculations. He treats each concept as a logical puzzle rather than a formula to memorize.
From stoichiometry to equilibrium to acid-base titrations, Amira's pre-med track at Northwestern meant she lived in general chemistry before moving into organic and biochem. That progression gives her a clear sense of which foundational concepts trip students up early and how to address gaps before they snowball into bigger problems down the line.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry are where most chemistry students first feel lost, and the confusion only compounds once molarity and reaction kinetics enter the picture. Kaitlyn unpacks each concept by connecting it back to the physical reality — what's actually happening to atoms and energy — drawing on the deep chemistry foundation her biology and pre-med coursework required.
Tara's graduate research in botany and marine biology kept her deep in chemistry — balancing redox reactions, interpreting molecular structures, working through stoichiometry in real experimental contexts. She's the kind of tutor who gives students entirely new ways to study, with at least one former student jumping from a D to an A- over a single semester.
Balancing equations, understanding mole ratios, and predicting reaction products all require a kind of structured logical thinking that Kelsey sharpened through St. John's seminar-based curriculum. She approaches chemistry by unpacking the reasoning behind each concept — why electron configuration determines bonding behavior, or how stoichiometry is really just bookkeeping for atoms. Her goal is always for the student to see the pattern, not just follow the steps.
Peer tutoring in chemistry through her university's program means Madeline has spent over a year watching exactly where students lose the thread — whether it's the leap from Lewis structures to molecular geometry or the moment stoichiometry goes from conceptual to computational. Her medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry major keeps her grounded in the "why" behind reactions, so she teaches mechanisms and functional group behavior by tracing what's actually happening at the molecular level rather than treating each problem type as its own isolated recipe.
As a Supplemental Instruction leader at UCF, Rick taught General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry to college students — walking them through electron configurations, stoichiometry, reaction mechanisms, and everything in between. He's currently applying to medical school, so these concepts are fresh and deeply practiced. His 4.0 GPA speaks to how thoroughly he's mastered the material.
Sidra breaks chemistry down by connecting abstract ideas — like electron orbitality and bonding theory — to the real reactions students see in lab. Her biology degree gave her a molecular-level understanding of how chemical principles drive living systems, which adds depth to the way she explains topics like thermodynamics and equilibrium.
Stoichiometry, molarity, gas laws, acid-base titrations — chemistry builds on itself, and one shaky concept can snowball quickly. Priya identifies exactly where the gap is and rebuilds understanding from that point, connecting each calculation back to what's actually happening at the molecular level. Her biotechnology training keeps her fluent in the kind of applied chemistry that makes abstract ideas concrete.
Stoichiometry, electron configurations, and equilibrium each demand a different kind of thinking, and Chemistry often frustrates students who try to study all of it the same way. Rithika completed IB Chemistry and multiple AP science courses as part of her diploma program, and she teaches each topic with the specific problem-solving strategy it actually requires — dimensional analysis for conversions, orbital diagrams for periodicity, ICE tables for equilibrium.
I am working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Pure and Applied Mathematics as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy and Physics. I have enjoyed studying math and science since I was in elementary school. I would always help my friends out by answering their questions about the material. For about the last five years, I have had my own tutoring business where I have tutored a wide variety of math courses from elementary school math to pre-calculus and calculus. I like to make sure my students have a complete understanding of the core concepts before going into practice questions. I have also had experience helping my peers with physics and computer science courses.
I am very interested in a career in the medical field, so I am apart of some pre-medical organizations. I really enjoy playing all different sports, from soccer to volleyball to tennis.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base calculations form the backbone of general chemistry — and they were Daniel's daily reality as a chemistry major at the Naval Academy. He's been teaching these concepts since 2017, and his go-to move is connecting abstract formulas to lab scenarios so students understand what the numbers actually represent.
Studying biochemistry meant Lorenzo spent years balancing equations, predicting reaction products, and thinking about molecular interactions at both the introductory and advanced level. He unpacks tricky topics like stoichiometry and equilibrium by showing how the math and the chemistry reinforce each other, so neither feels like a separate hurdle.
Balancing equations, mole conversions, and solution stoichiometry all come down to careful bookkeeping — a skill Parker's computer science brain is wired for. Parker walks through each type of chemistry problem as a logical sequence, making sure students understand the reasoning behind dimensional analysis and reaction predictions instead of just memorizing shortcuts.
Understanding stoichiometry or equilibrium often comes down to whether someone explains the *why* behind the math, not just the setup. Esha's science-heavy pre-med curriculum means she's worked through general and organic chemistry sequences recently enough to remember exactly where the confusion tends to hit. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how clearly she communicates those sticking points.
A biology degree with a chemistry minor means Jessica didn't just pass chemistry — she lived in it for years, from stoichiometry and gas laws through organic reaction mechanisms. She approaches tough topics like mole conversions and equilibrium by walking through the logic step by step instead of handing students formulas to memorize. Her 5.0 client rating backs up that method.
Studying biochemistry at the molecular level means Joseph lives in chemistry — thermodynamics, reaction equilibria, acid-base systems, and molecular bonding are part of his daily coursework. He unpacks these topics by connecting abstract formulas to what's actually happening between atoms, which makes problem-solving more intuitive.
From balancing redox equations to predicting molecular geometry with VSEPR theory, chemistry demands both conceptual understanding and careful problem setup. Kevin graduated cum laude in human biology from UCSD and served as a biology TA there, giving him deep practice in explaining scientific reasoning at the introductory and intermediate level.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry are where Chemistry goes from vocabulary to real problem-solving, and that's exactly the transition that loses most students. Anup approaches these calculations methodically, teaching dimensional analysis and mole conversions as tools that unlock every later topic from gas laws to equilibrium. His science coursework keeps him fluent in the math-heavy side of chemistry that many tutors gloss over.
Balancing redox reactions, predicting molecular geometry, and navigating stoichiometry all demand different skills, and chemistry courses tend to move fast enough that gaps compound quickly. Rangish's science-heavy course load at UF — spanning biology, biochemistry, and chemistry — means he can explain concepts like equilibrium and acid-base behavior from multiple angles depending on what makes sense to each student.
Having earned her math degree, Arielle treats chemistry's quantitative hurdles — unit conversions, stoichiometry setups, balancing redox half-reactions — as algebra problems with a chemical vocabulary layered on top. She's especially good at slowing down the moment a student's math confidence wavers mid-problem, rebuilding the calculation logic before moving forward. Rated 4.5 by students.
Balancing equations is mechanical, but understanding why copper sulfate turns blue or how buffer systems maintain pH — that requires a tutor who genuinely thinks in chemistry. Jason's molecular biology focus at UNF means he lives in the overlap of chemistry and life science, giving him a natural way to explain concepts like stoichiometry, acid-base reactions, and molecular geometry. Students rated him 5.0, and his strength is making the logic behind reactions click.
Hands-on nanotechnology research has given Harrison a practical grasp of chemistry that extends well beyond textbook problems — he understands how stoichiometry, equilibrium, and reaction kinetics actually behave in a lab setting. He breaks down tricky concepts like molecular orbital theory and acid-base chemistry by connecting them to real reactions students can visualize.
Biology majors often breeze through organic molecules and biochemical reactions but hit a wall with physical chemistry concepts — Michelle went the other direction, building out from her biology core into biostatistics, physics, and biochemistry until the quantitative side of chemistry felt just as natural. That range means she's equally comfortable explaining electron orbitals and periodic trends as she is connecting reaction energetics to the biological systems where students actually see them matter. Rated 4.9 by students.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry are where most chemistry students first feel lost, and it usually comes down to not yet seeing atoms as countable, rearrangeable things. Alec minored in chemistry at the University of Miami and teaches these foundational skills by grounding every calculation in what's physically happening at the molecular level. That concrete approach carries through to tougher topics like equilibrium, acid-base reactions, and thermochemistry.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry are just the entry point — Hanna pushes into the conceptual "why" behind chemical reactions, electron behavior, and intermolecular forces. Her pre-med track means she's taken chemistry through organic and biochemistry, giving her a clear picture of which foundational ideas matter most and where students typically lose the thread.
Pursuing a B.S. in Chemistry at UCF means Qiwei is actively immersed in the subject — organic reactions, thermodynamics labs, and quantum chemistry problem sets are part of her weekly routine, not distant memories. That real-time familiarity is especially useful for students wrestling with topics like molecular orbital theory or electrochemistry, since she can pinpoint exactly which concepts tend to trip people up and why.
Susie approaches chemistry through the lens of a biologist, which turns out to be a real advantage — she explains concepts like equilibrium, acid-base reactions, and thermodynamics by tying them to processes students can visualize in living systems. Her current MCAT preparation keeps general chemistry sharp, and her 4.8 rating speaks to how clearly she breaks down problem-solving strategies.
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.
A chemistry minor at UF means Nicholas spent serious time with stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base reactions, and organic mechanisms — not just the biology-adjacent topics. He approaches chemistry problems by building intuition for what's happening at the molecular level, then layering on the math. Students who struggle with the quantitative side of chemistry benefit from his comfort bridging math and science concepts.
Evan's neuroscience degree demanded deep engagement with chemistry — from the electrochemical gradients driving nerve impulses to the molecular interactions behind neurotransmitter binding. That background means he teaches topics like acid-base chemistry, intermolecular forces, and reaction energetics through concrete biological examples that give abstract concepts a tangible anchor. Rated 5.0 by students.
