Award-Winning College Chemistry Tutors
serving Ann Arbor, MI

Studying chemical and biological engineering means Suzie has been stress-tested on gen chem material — thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, stoichiometry — in courses that demanded she actually use it to solve mass and energy balances, not just reproduce it on an exam. She's now pursuing an MD/PhD at Michigan Medical School, so she teaches college chemistry with a clear picture of how each concept threads into biochemistry, physiology, and beyond. Rated 5.0 by students.

Heading to the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics, Phil brings serious quantitative chops to the parts of college chemistry that are really algebra in disguise — equilibrium expressions, rate law calculations, stoichiometric ratios, and gas law derivations. He also has hundreds of hours tutoring chemistry specifically, so he knows when a student's real problem is the concept and when it's the math tripping them up. That distinction matters in gen chem, where the two get tangled together fast.

Transitioning from high school to college chemistry means grappling with thermodynamics, equilibrium constants, and orbital theory at a much deeper level. Surina tackled these topics throughout her microbiology coursework at Barrett Honors College and knows where the conceptual gaps from general chem tend to show up in organic and biochemistry courses down the line.

Pursuing a chemistry doctorate at the University of Michigan after completing his bachelor's at Truman State, Tyler has lived college chemistry from both sides of the classroom — learning the material and then teaching it at the undergraduate level. He's particularly sharp on the topics where students quietly fall behind, like electron configurations feeding into bonding theory or how equilibrium math depends on getting ICE tables set up correctly before touching the calculator. Rated 5.0 by students.

Biochemistry at Michigan meant Kirby didn't just take college chemistry — she kept using it, applying concepts like reaction thermodynamics, acid-base equilibria, and molecular interactions through upper-level coursework in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. That layered exposure gives her a clear sense of which gen chem topics students need to truly internalize versus which ones they can afford to revisit later. Rated 4.9 by students.

Quantum numbers, molecular orbital theory, kinetics — college chemistry demands a level of abstraction that a general chemistry course only hints at. Vazrik earned his B.S. in Chemistry before moving into a materials science doctoral program, so he can walk through concepts like crystal field theory or electrochemistry with the depth of someone who applies them in active research.

Organic mechanisms, thermodynamics, equilibrium — college chemistry covers an enormous range, and Pratik has tutored it extensively at both the high school and undergraduate level. He digs into the reasoning behind reaction trends and periodic properties so that students can predict behavior on exams rather than relying on memorized examples.

Dartmouth's pre-med track put Arianna through a rigorous gen chem sequence where topics like electronegativity, VSEPR theory, and solution stoichiometry had to stick — not just for exams, but for every upper-level neuroscience and biology course that followed. She teaches college chemistry by anchoring abstract ideas to the biological systems where they resurface, which clicks especially well for life-science majors who need a reason to care about electron configurations. Rated 4.8 by students.

Chemical engineering at UW-Madison meant Morgan didn't just take college chemistry — she relied on it daily through courses in reactor kinetics, mass transfer, and process thermodynamics, where sloppy understanding of equilibrium or enthalpy calculations would tank an entire problem set. That engineering context gives her a sharp eye for the specific conceptual gaps that cause students to lose points, especially in topics like solution stoichiometry and calorimetry where the chemistry and the math have to work in lockstep.

A PhD in Chemistry with research time at both Windsor and Cornell means Alaaeddeen has taught college chemistry topics — electron configurations, chemical kinetics, solution stoichiometry — across every level from introductory lectures to graduate seminars. He digs into the reasoning behind each step of a problem rather than letting students default to formula-plugging, a teaching approach he's refined since 2011. Rated 5.0 by students.

Working as a research assistant in transplant surgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Jonathan applies chemistry daily — from understanding drug interactions to the biochemistry of tissue preservation. That hands-on lab experience means he can ground tricky gen chem topics like stoichiometry and solution chemistry in real scenarios rather than leaving them as abstract textbook exercises. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am passionate about. Throughout my education, even in elementary school, I would love helping my friends do better in their schooling, whether that be by just answering a few questions they had, some one-on-one time, or a group study session.

I am eternally grateful! I minored in Chemistry after getting interested in the inner workings of organic chemistry. While going to college I earned money by tutoring classes I had already taken. I also offered "supplemental instruction" which were informal classroom question and answer sessions. I worked in a research lab after earning an undergraduate research fellowship and explored Physiology at the School of Medicine. Then went on to study Toxicology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While there a decision appeared clear between focusing on research or teaching. I like teaching better. I truly enjoy spreading knowledge about Biology and Chemistry and finding fun ways to introduce people to these (often difficult) subjects.

I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together

Thermodynamics, equilibrium constants, electrochemistry — college chemistry demands that students juggle quantitative problem-solving with conceptual reasoning at the same time. Raj tackles both sides, drawing on his biochemistry training at Rice to show how general chemistry principles connect to larger molecular behavior. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

Balancing redox equations, predicting reaction spontaneity with Gibbs free energy, working through equilibrium problems — these are the topics that trip up most college chemistry students. Laura tackles them daily as a biology major at WashU, where the pre-med chemistry sequence demands real fluency with thermodynamics, kinetics, and acid-base chemistry. Rated 5.0 by students, she breaks down quantitative problems into clear, logical steps.

MIT's general chemistry sequence is notoriously fast — Vania not only survived it but tutored other students through it via the university's Seminar XL and Tutorial Services Room programs, where she got fluent in the exact places students stall out on topics like thermochemistry, equilibrium, and electron configuration. Her mechanical engineering training means she thinks about chemistry problems quantitatively, tracing how molecular-level behavior connects to the math rather than treating equations and concepts as separate tasks. Rated 5.0 by students.

Working in a Yale research lab with tools like CRISPR-Cas9 means Matthew encounters gen chem principles — reaction kinetics, molecular interactions, buffer systems — in live experimental contexts, which sharpens how he explains them back at the introductory level. His biochemistry and molecular biology coursework built fluency with the bridge between general chemistry and its applications, so he can show students exactly why mastering something like equilibrium or thermochemistry pays off two courses down the road. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Pre-med bio-psychology coursework at UCSB means Aaron has pushed through college chemistry the same way his students are — as a high-stakes prerequisite where every gap in stoichiometry or equilibrium shows up again in upper-division science courses. He talks through problems conversationally, pressing students to explain the reasoning back to him, which exposes shaky understanding far faster than just re-solving practice sets. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Thermodynamics, quantum numbers, and reaction kinetics all demand the kind of mathematical fluency that comes naturally to Nima as a Duke physics student. He unpacks college chemistry problems by grounding each calculation in the underlying physical principles, which makes topics like enthalpy, molecular orbital theory, and electrochemistry far more intuitive.

Tackling college-level chemistry means juggling thermodynamics, kinetics, and equilibrium all in the same problem set. Brittany was employed at the University of Pennsylvania's Tutoring Center specifically for General Chemistry I and II, where she worked with both undergraduates encountering the material for the first time and graduate students brushing up on fundamentals. That range sharpened her ability to adjust explanations to any level of preparation.

Organic reaction mechanisms, thermodynamic versus kinetic control, and multi-step synthesis problems demand more than memorization — they require a framework for thinking through electron movement and molecular behavior. Maggie studied Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology as an undergraduate and now applies that foundation daily in her Stanford medical program. She unpacks each mechanism by tracing exactly why electrons move where they do, making complex transformations feel logical.

Studying chemistry at MIT means Max has tackled the same problem sets, lab reports, and conceptual leaps that trip up college chemistry students — quantum mechanical models, thermodynamic cycles, molecular orbital theory. He approaches each session by identifying the specific concept a student is stuck on and building understanding from the ground up, not just drilling practice problems. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that method works at the college level.

Neuroscience at Yale meant David couldn't just skim gen chem — he needed concepts like electrochemistry, molecular bonding, and reaction thermodynamics to stick, because they showed up again in every neurobiology and biochemistry course that followed. Now pursuing graduate work in bioethics, he teaches college chemistry by linking each topic to the bigger scientific picture, so students see why mastering something like intermolecular forces or acid-base equilibria pays off well beyond the final exam. Rated 5.0 by students.

Though political science was her major at the University of Chicago, Asta's tutoring work across both chemistry and quantitative subjects means she's spent real time breaking down the conceptual hurdles in gen chem — balancing equations, working through mole conversions, and making sense of reaction types. Her 5.0 rating speaks to an approach that's honest about meeting the material on its own terms rather than pretending expertise she doesn't have, which students in a tough prerequisite course tend to trust more, not less.
