I am Chad Bergman, a current Dartmouth student pursuing my Bachelor's in Economics with a physics minor. I have experience tutoring college economics in person on Dartmouth campus as well as online tutoring in high school calculus and physics. I've had great success on the SAT and ACT as well as my AP tests in high school, and I hope to help others succeed as well. My favorite subject to tutor is physics because I feel like learning to apply a few fundamental principles to different real world situations is extremely useful in any discipline. While tutoring I try to help students master the fundamentals so they can apply them to the material we're working on as well as future material. Outside academia, I help look after my four siblings and play more League of Legends online than is perhaps healthy.

Stoichiometry is usually the first place high school chemistry students feel genuinely lost, because it requires translating between grams, moles, and molecules all at once. Laynie's chemistry minor gives her a strong command of these conversions, and she walks through each problem step-by-step until the dimensional analysis clicks. Rated 4.9 by students.
Balancing redox equations or predicting products of a reaction requires a kind of pattern recognition that Chris honed throughout his neurobiology coursework, which included multiple semesters of college-level chemistry. He unpacks tricky concepts like stoichiometry and molecular geometry by tying them back to how atoms actually behave, not just what the formula sheet says.
Mole conversions, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — high school chemistry is packed with concepts that build on each other, and falling behind on one topic can snowball fast. Kavya, a medical student at the University of Kansas, teaches each unit by anchoring it to the previous one so students see chemistry as a connected story rather than isolated chapters.
Alisa's math degree at the University of Kansas gives her a strong handle on the quantitative side of chemistry — the dimensional analysis, stoichiometry calculations, and gas law problems that trip up students who are comfortable with concepts but freeze when numbers enter the picture. She walks through the algebra embedded in chemistry problems so students see exactly where each unit and conversion factor comes from. Rated 5.0 by students.
Colin's neuroscience background means he's worked through the chemistry that underpins how neurons fire and drugs interact with receptors — concepts rooted in electrochemistry, molecular polarity, and intermolecular forces. He uses those connections to make topics like bonding and solution chemistry feel purposeful rather than abstract, tying the math to something tangible. Rated 4.9 by students.

Stoichiometry, mole conversions, and balancing redox reactions are the concepts that tend to make or break a high school chemistry grade. Hanna's pre-med coursework at the University of Kansas gives her a strong command of these topics, and she walks students through problem-solving strategies that make the math side of chemistry far less intimidating.
Electron configurations, periodic trends, and equilibrium calculations each demand a slightly different kind of thinking, which is part of what makes high school chemistry feel unpredictable. Qays zeroes in on the conceptual thread running through these topics — how atomic structure drives chemical behavior — so that predicting reactivity or balancing redox equations becomes logical rather than mechanical. He's rated 5.0 by the students he's worked with.
Balancing equations and predicting products click faster when a student understands what's actually happening at the particle level — and Betsy's biology and anatomy background means she naturally connects chemical behavior to the living systems where it plays out. She teaches topics like chemical bonding and reaction types by tying them back to processes students already find intuitive, like why oxygen moves through cell membranes or how enzymes depend on molecular shape.
The jump from memorizing the periodic table to actually using it — predicting reactivity, drawing Lewis structures, calculating molar masses — is where high school chemistry gets real. Jessica's pre-med coursework at Brown covers general and organic chemistry, and she applies that depth when teaching topics like acid-base equilibria and gas laws. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.
When high school chemistry students hit a wall with mole conversions or balancing redox reactions, the issue is almost always conceptual, not computational. Rahul digs into the 'why' behind each step — why coefficients matter, how electron transfer actually works — drawing on his Cornell chemical engineering background to make the logic visible. He holds a 4.9 rating from students.
When mole conversions and electron configurations feel like two completely unrelated subjects crammed into one class, that's usually a sign the underlying logic hasn't clicked yet. Aidan ties high school chemistry concepts together by starting from atomic structure and building outward — showing why periodic trends predict reactivity, how bonding explains molecular shape, and where the math fits in. His premed coursework at Notre Dame covered this material in depth.
Three science bachelor's degrees — including one specifically in chemistry — mean Sung has spent serious time with everything from electron orbitals to thermochemistry, not just at the introductory level but across multiple disciplinary angles. He digs into the "why" behind concepts like periodic trends and reaction energetics so students can reason through unfamiliar problems on exams instead of relying on memorized shortcuts. Rated 5.0 by students.
Stoichiometry and equilibrium take on a different dimension when your tutor uses them every day — Michelle's biochemistry degree from Rice and her current medical coursework at Baylor mean she's constantly translating between chemical equations on paper and what's actually happening at the molecular level. She teaches gas laws and reaction energetics by anchoring the math to the biological chemistry she's immersed in, which gives students a concrete handle on topics that otherwise feel purely abstract.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics tend to click faster when a student can see how the math actually maps onto what's happening at the molecular level. Ellie's pre-med and engineering background means she teaches these concepts with an eye toward why the numbers behave the way they do, not just how to balance the equation.
Whether it's naming ionic compounds, predicting products of a reaction, or working through gas law calculations, Ravnoor zeroes in on the specific concept causing trouble and drills it with targeted practice problems. His 5.0 rating comes from a hands-on style that keeps sessions focused on doing chemistry, not just reading about it.
Balancing equations, mole conversions, and electron configurations all follow patterns that become obvious once someone lays them out clearly. Tim's experience teaching chemistry at a STEM camp means he's practiced at breaking these topics down for students encountering them for the first time. His quantitative training at MIT keeps him sharp on the math-heavy units — gas laws, enthalpy, and solution chemistry — where many high schoolers hit a wall.
Chemistry can feel like learning a new language — balancing equations, interpreting the mole concept, predicting reaction types — and Asta treats it that way, breaking each topic into its own vocabulary and logic. Her experience tutoring internationally in Hong Kong gave her practice explaining scientific concepts to students from varied academic backgrounds. Rated 5.0 by students.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and reaction kinetics stop being abstract once a student sees how they connect to each other — and Aimee teaches those connections explicitly. Her chemical and biomolecular engineering degree from Georgia Tech required mastering these concepts at a deep quantitative level, which means she can explain not just how to balance an equation but why the math works the way it does.
Chemistry clicked for Christopher when he stopped treating it as memorization and started seeing it as a logic puzzle — balancing equations, predicting reaction products, and connecting periodic trends to real behavior. His engineering background at Harvard reinforces that analytical approach, especially when tackling stoichiometry and gas laws.
The jump from memorizing chemical formulas to actually solving equilibrium and redox problems is where most high school chemistry students struggle. JF tackles this gap head-on, walking through dimensional analysis, electron bookkeeping, and reaction predictions with the precision his Stanford math background provides. He's rated 5.0 by students who've worked with him.

Frequently Asked Questions
High school chemistry requires balancing abstract thinking with practical application—students often struggle with visualizing molecular structures, balancing chemical equations, and understanding why reactions happen at the atomic level. Unit conversions and stoichiometry are frequent pain points, as they demand both conceptual understanding and careful calculation. Many students also find it challenging to connect lab work and real-world applications to theoretical concepts they're learning in class.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where your understanding breaks down—whether that's with foundational concepts like atomic structure or specific skills like balancing equations. Tutors can slow down on difficult topics, use multiple explanations and visual strategies to help you grasp abstract concepts, and connect problems to real-world examples that make the material stick. This targeted approach is especially valuable in chemistry, where gaps in foundational knowledge often compound as the course progresses.
Yes. Tutors can help you understand the scientific method behind experiments, interpret lab results, write clear lab reports, and troubleshoot why an experiment didn't work as expected. They can also help you visualize what's happening at the molecular level during reactions and connect your hands-on lab experience back to the theory you're learning in class. This bridges the gap between doing an experiment and truly understanding the chemistry behind it.
Balancing equations is a skill that improves with guided practice and understanding the underlying logic. A tutor can teach you systematic strategies—like identifying oxidation states, using the algebraic method, or recognizing common patterns—and then work through problems with you step-by-step. Rather than memorizing, you'll learn to approach equations logically, which makes the process faster and more reliable on tests.
Your first session is about building a foundation for success. A tutor will assess your current understanding of chemistry concepts, identify specific areas where you're struggling, and learn about your learning style and goals. From there, they'll create a personalized plan focused on your priorities—whether that's preparing for an upcoming test, strengthening foundational concepts, or building confidence with problem-solving. You'll leave with a clear sense of direction and concrete next steps.
Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who have strong chemistry backgrounds and know how to teach high school students effectively. When you get matched with a tutor, they'll have expertise in your specific curriculum and the ability to explain complex concepts in ways that make sense to you. You can discuss your needs upfront to ensure the tutor is the right fit for your learning style and goals.
Absolutely. Tutors can help you review key concepts, practice problem-solving under timed conditions, and identify weak areas before test day. For standardized tests like the AP Chemistry exam, tutors can teach test-specific strategies, help you manage time effectively, and build confidence with the types of questions you'll encounter. Regular tutoring sessions leading up to an exam give you time to ask questions and solidify your understanding rather than cramming.
Chemistry is fundamentally about understanding—memorizing formulas or facts without grasping the underlying concepts will only take you so far. The periodic table, reaction types, and bonding patterns all make sense once you understand the principles behind them. Personalized tutoring focuses on building that deep understanding so you can apply chemistry knowledge to new problems and questions, which is what exams and real-world chemistry actually require.
