I am also a first year medical student at the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. I have extensive experience with premedical classes and have taken and tutored the MCAT exam. I placed in the 97th percentile of the MCAT exam and I understand what the test takers want students to know and how to bridge the gap between knowing the material and doing well on the test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future.

Thermodynamics, equilibrium, and electrochemistry are where AP Chemistry separates students who understand the material from those who've only memorized it.

Stoichiometry and equilibrium problems reward a systematic setup more than raw chemistry intuition, and that's exactly how Emma approaches them. Her college chemistry coursework and 5.0 tutoring rating show she can walk students through dimensional analysis, reaction balancing, and Le Chatelier's principle with the precision AP graders look for.

Medical school at Tufts means Eric has already passed through the gauntlet of college-level chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology — courses where concepts like equilibrium, thermodynamics, and acid-base chemistry aren't just tested once but built upon semester after semester. He draws on that layered understanding to teach AP Chemistry's trickiest areas, particularly reaction energetics and solution chemistry, by showing students the reasoning that makes each problem solvable rather than requiring a different memorized approach for every question type.

The jump to AP Chemistry trips up students who memorized their way through earlier courses, especially when they hit equilibrium calculations, electrochemistry, or multi-step thermodynamics problems. Suraj tackles these topics by walking through the reasoning behind each setup — why an ICE table works, what Gibbs free energy actually tells you — so students can handle unfamiliar problems on exam day. He's rated 5.0 by his students.

In 2022, I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. My goal is to use my expertise in chemistry, algebra, and calculus to help students not only learn but also enjoy these subjects. My favorite subject to teach is general chemistry as it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary study combining, physics, math, and even biology. While my degree expertise lies in chemistry, I am equally adapt in teaching all levels of mathematics. I take pride in reinforcing mathematics concepts with tangible applications in other fields to highlight its importance and making learning interesting.

I am most passionate about biology and chemistry. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.
