Suzie
Certified Chemistry Tutor
Suzie
BA Princeton University
1+ Years Tutoring

Balancing equations, predicting reaction products, understanding molarity — chemistry builds on itself fast, and gaps in early concepts snowball quickly. Suzie earned her degree in chemical and biological engineering and is now pursuing an MD/PhD at Michigan Medical School, so she's spent years applying chemistry at the molecular level rather than just studying it for exams.

Surina
Certified Chemistry Tutor
Surina
BA Arizona State University
1+ Years Tutoring

Microbiology lab work at Barrett Honors College meant Surina was constantly applying chemistry — buffer calculations, reaction kinetics, acid-base titrations — in contexts where getting it wrong had real consequences. That hands-on grounding shows up in how she teaches topics like solution chemistry and molecular interactions: she connects the abstraction to something tangible. Rated 5.0 by students.

Phil
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

Mole conversions, balancing redox reactions, predicting products — chemistry has a way of making each chapter feel like a completely different subject. Phil ties those threads together by showing how atomic structure and bonding principles keep reappearing in every new unit. He lets students steer each session toward the problems that actually confuse them, turning tutoring into focused practice rather than a rehash of class notes.

Uchenna
BA University of Maryland-Baltimore County • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine University of Michigan Medical School
9+ Years Tutoring

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry asks students to toggle between math and abstract models constantly, which is exactly where most confusion lives. Uchenna graduated magna cum laude in biochemistry and now applies chemical principles daily in her medical research at the NIH, so she explains reactions and bonding with the kind of depth that turns rote formulas into ideas that actually make sense. Rated 4.9 by students.

Certified Chemistry Tutor
Tyler
BA Truman State University
10+ Years Tutoring

Understanding chemistry means building a mental model of what atoms are actually doing — why ionic compounds dissolve, how electron orbitals shape molecular geometry, what drives a reaction forward. Tyler is pursuing his doctorate in chemistry at the University of Michigan and tackles these ideas by connecting abstract theory to tangible examples students can visualize. Rated 5.0 by students.

Vikhyathi
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

Studying neuroscience at Michigan means Vikhyathi encounters chemistry from the biological side first — how ion channels depend on electrochemistry, how pH shifts alter protein folding, how thermodynamics drives cellular reactions. That perspective is especially useful for teaching topics like acid-base chemistry, intermolecular forces, and reaction energetics, because she can ground abstract concepts in what they actually do inside living systems.

Kirby
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

Whether it's balancing redox reactions, predicting molecular geometry with VSEPR, or working through stoichiometry problems, Kirby approaches chemistry by building up from the atomic-level reasoning rather than handing students a set of rules to memorize. Her University of Michigan biochemistry degree gave her years of daily chemistry practice across general, organic, and physical chem. Rated 4.9 by students.

Vazrik
BA Rice University • Doctor of Engineering, Materials Science University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
6+ Years Tutoring

Vazrik holds a B.S. in Chemistry and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Materials Science at the University of Michigan, so concepts like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and periodic trends are woven into his daily research. He teaches chemistry by anchoring abstract ideas — electron configurations, thermochemical equations, solution dynamics — to tangible examples from materials and engineering applications.

Certified Chemistry Tutor
Adam
MS Eastern Michigan University • BA Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
7+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering forced Adam to learn chemistry as a tool for understanding how materials interact with living tissue — corrosion behavior of implants, polymer degradation, and drug delivery all hinge on concepts like reaction kinetics, molecular polarity, and pH chemistry. That applied background means he teaches topics like stoichiometry and intermolecular forces by grounding them in problems where the chemistry actually matters. Rated 4.9 by students.

Ajay
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

I am a current undergraduate at the University of Michigan. I am a Biochemistry major and Philosophy minor, with years of experience tutoring students. Through high school, I tutored kids in the ACT, math, science, literature, and debate. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, as I have taken Chemistry Honors, AP Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry(1 and 2). I believe that tutoring is a two way street, with the student learning about the material, but the teacher learning about how the student interacts with the material. Due to this, I am a very hands-on tutor who is always available for a text/call outside of class. Outside of academia, I am a singer and have been for 13 years now - a choir singer for 7 years and now in a premier acapella group at the University of Michigan.
