Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and electron configurations trip up most high school chemistry students because they require thinking in ratios and invisible particles rather than tangible objects. Cassandra's biology degree means she learned chemistry from the molecular level up, and she breaks down mole conversions and reaction balancing into repeatable, logical steps. Rated 4.9 by students.

Balancing equations, predicting products, working through mole conversions — high school chemistry is where students either build real chemical intuition or fall into a cycle of memorizing and forgetting. Shawn earned his Master's in Chemistry and uses that depth to explain the *why* behind each concept, from electron configurations driving periodic trends to intermolecular forces determining boiling points. He's rated 4.9 and prioritizes steady skill-building over last-minute test prep.

When dimensional analysis and sig figs feel like busywork and molarity problems seem impossible, high school chemistry can become overwhelming fast. Michael zeroes in on the quantitative side — teaching students to set up conversion factors, balance equations systematically, and interpret what an equilibrium constant actually tells them about a reaction. His experience tutoring students with different learning needs through a nonprofit also means he's patient and adaptable when a concept isn't clicking the first time around.

Biotechnology training in high school followed by a biology major at UNLV means Samuel has been doing real chemistry — balancing redox reactions, calculating molarity, working through stoichiometry — as part of his science coursework for years, not just reviewing it from a textbook. He digs into the quantitative side of chemistry by connecting the math back to what's actually happening at the molecular level, which makes topics like gas laws and solution chemistry click rather than feel like arbitrary formulas. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Stoichiometry and gas laws tend to click faster when a student can see how the math connects to something tangible — and Andrea's physiology degree from UCLA means she spent years tracing chemical reactions through living systems, from cellular respiration to metabolic pathways. That background gives her a knack for grounding mole calculations and reaction balancing in concrete biological examples rather than leaving them as abstract number-crunching. Rated 4.9 by students.

Balancing equations and stoichiometry are usually where chemistry starts feeling like a foreign language — Aaron tackles those topics by tying them back to the math skills students already have. His engineering training included significant chemistry coursework, so he can explain concepts like mole ratios, limiting reagents, and periodic trends with concrete, quantitative examples.

Nathaniel's doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell means he didn't just take chemistry — he built on it for years, using concepts like reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and molecular interactions as everyday tools in his research. That depth shows when he teaches topics like stoichiometry or chemical equilibrium, because he can trace the logic back to what's actually happening at the molecular level rather than treating each chapter as its own isolated set of rules.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
