Award-Winning Chemistry Tutors
serving Reno, NV

Tim taught chemistry to middle and high school students at a STEM summer camp, where he learned to explain concepts like stoichiometry and molecular bonding without relying on the textbook's notation-heavy approach. His computational science background at MIT also means he's comfortable with the quantitative side — equilibrium calculations, thermodynamics, and kinetics — that trips up students transitioning from conceptual to problem-solving chemistry.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry each demand a slightly different way of thinking, and Cassandra adjusts her approach depending on which concept a student is wrestling with — dimensional analysis drills for stoich, ICE table walkthroughs for equilibrium, and proton-transfer logic for acids and bases. Her 4.9 rating comes from making these shifts feel natural rather than overwhelming. With a biology degree and experience across analytical and AP-level chemistry, she brings real depth to the subject.

Holding a Master's in Chemistry, Shawn has the depth to teach everything from nomenclature and Lewis structures through kinetics and electrochemistry — and the range to adjust whether a student is in honors, AP, or IB Chemistry. He's particularly strong at diagnosing where a concept breaks down, then rebuilding the reasoning step by step so the next topic doesn't collapse on a shaky foundation. Rated 4.9 by students.

From balancing redox equations to predicting whether a reaction is spontaneous using Gibbs free energy, general chemistry asks students to juggle math, conceptual reasoning, and memorization all at once. Michael tackles this by anchoring each new topic to something concrete — connecting gas law calculations to real experimental setups, or explaining periodic trends through electron shielding rather than rote charts. His science background and comfort with math-heavy problem solving make him especially effective for students struggling with quantitative chemistry.

I'm a 2016 graduate of Pepperdine University with my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Currently I'm preparing to apply to optometry school; I hope to be accepted for the 2018-19 academic year. During my time in college, I was involved as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry I and II laboratory, as a tutor for General Chemistry I, as a member of the Regents Scholar Student Board, and as a "small group" leader through multiple organizations. I am a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi and held the positions of Historian, Senior Transition Leader, and member of the Leadership and Nominating Committee during my undergraduate years. As far as tutoring goes, I offer my services to students of all ages and in numerous subjects. I particularly enjoy tutoring the STEM subjects. I also thoroughly enjoy working with female STEM students, which allows me to serve as a role model and to offer additional encouragement for my female students to not lose interest in STEM subjects. A large part of my tutoring style focuses on logical thinking for how to tackle new and difficult problems using previous knoledge and educated hypotheses; I have found that my students find both success and a boost in confidence using my methodology. Aside from my academic interests, I love cooking and baking, my cat, photography, and National Parks.

Every chemistry concept Andrea learned at UCLA had a physiological payoff — acid-base equilibria explained blood buffering, thermodynamics explained enzyme kinetics, and molecular geometry explained drug-receptor binding. She brings that same approach to tutoring, anchoring stoichiometry, bonding, and reaction mechanisms in concrete examples that give students a reason to care about the math behind the molecules.

Kyle has completed multiple upper-level chemistry courses as part of his forensic science program, covering everything from stoichiometry and equilibrium to organic reaction mechanisms. He approaches problem sets by connecting the math behind a concept to what's actually happening at the molecular level, which makes balancing equations and predicting products feel less arbitrary.

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, acid-base equilibria — chemistry demands comfort with both conceptual models and precise calculations. Aaron's engineering coursework required heavy chemistry training, and he applies that dual fluency when walking students through balancing reactions or predicting molecular geometry. He's especially effective at bridging the gap between understanding a concept qualitatively and executing it on paper.

I am currently a Biology major at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. I am in the process of switching into Computer Science. My background is primarily in the sciences and math, mostly Biology and Chemistry. I also am proficient in Spanish; I have received two awards from the National Spanish exam and I passed the AP Spanish and Culture exam. Prior to college, I graduated with an Advanced Honors Diploma from Northwest Career and Technical Academy under the program area of Biotechnology. I have some tutoring experience with my peers and with friends of the family. Outside of school, my hobbies include video games and digital media.

I'm Kat. I'm a math and science enthusiast with a passion for helping others understand and appreciate the science (and its applications) of our fascinating world.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and the mole concept trip students up because they require toggling between the macroscopic and the molecular. Nathaniel unpacks each conversion step-by-step, connecting what happens in a beaker to what's happening at the atomic level. His Biomedical Engineering doctorate gave him years of applied chemistry experience that keeps explanations grounded and practical.

A chemistry degree from MIT gives Max fluency across the discipline — thermodynamics, equilibrium, electrochemistry, kinetics — but what makes him effective is his habit of letting students arrive at conclusions themselves rather than handing them answers. He sets up problems so that the logic of stoichiometry or periodic trends reveals itself step by step, building real understanding that holds up on exams.

Balancing equations, understanding molarity, and predicting reaction products all require a mental model of what atoms are actually doing — not just symbol shuffling on paper. Devon's pre-medical training at Vanderbilt means she's spent years applying chemistry concepts in biological and clinical contexts, which gives her a practical vocabulary for explaining why reactions behave the way they do. She's especially strong at connecting stoichiometry to lab scenarios that make the math meaningful.

Jeremy has taught General Chemistry I, Introductory Chemistry for true beginners, and a combined General/Organic/Biochemistry sequence for health professions students — so he's seen every entry point into the subject. He unpacks topics like stoichiometry, molecular geometry, and acid-base equilibria by connecting each concept to concrete, observable phenomena. Rated 4.6 by students.

Balancing equations, predicting reaction products, understanding mole ratios — chemistry has a language of its own, and Nima teaches students to read it fluently. His physics degree gives him an unusual strength in the quantitative side of chemistry, from unit conversions to gas law calculations, where many students first start to struggle.

Studying neuroscience at WashU means Ethan lives at the intersection of biology and chemistry, regularly working through reaction kinetics, molecular bonding, and thermodynamic principles in his coursework. He unpacks chemistry topics like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and electron configurations by anchoring them to tangible examples rather than leaving them as abstract formulas on a page.

Mechanical engineering at Harvard means Christopher lives in the overlap between chemistry and physics — material properties, thermodynamics, and reaction energetics show up constantly in his coursework. He breaks down topics like bonding, gas laws, and enthalpy calculations by tying them to tangible engineering problems, which gives abstract concepts a concrete anchor. Rated 4.8 by students.

David approaches chemistry by anchoring every new idea to something tangible: stoichiometry becomes a recipe problem, electron orbitals explain why molecules have specific shapes, and equilibrium constants predict which direction a reaction actually goes. That habit of connecting abstract rules to observable outcomes comes from his neuroscience training at Yale, where chemistry was the foundation for everything else.

Studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins means Joshitha lives inside chemistry — thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, stoichiometry — every semester. She brings that depth to tutoring by walking through the reasoning behind each concept rather than handing students formulas to memorize. Whether it's balancing redox reactions or predicting molecular geometry, she connects the 'how' to the 'why.'

Stoichiometry and mole conversions trip up most chemistry students because they look like pure math divorced from anything real. Caroline connects these calculations to tangible examples — like how much reactant a chemical plant actually needs — drawing on her years working at an ExxonMobil refinery. That industrial context makes balancing equations and predicting yields feel purposeful.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acid-base reactions — chemistry rewards students who can think in ratios and relationships, not just memorize formulas. Sydny's triple-science undergraduate background and medical training mean she can explain why a reaction behaves the way it does at the molecular level, then connect that understanding to the math on the page.

From balancing redox equations to predicting molecular geometry with VSEPR, chemistry rewards students who understand the 'why' behind each rule. Garrett unpacks concepts like electronegativity trends and equilibrium shifts by tying them back to atomic structure, so students build a mental model they can apply to new problems. His science background across biology and physical chemistry gives him a wide lens for making connections that stick.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics all share one thing in common: they reward students who understand the "why" behind each calculation. Bidyut's biomedical engineering training at Johns Hopkins required deep chemistry coursework, and he draws on that background to explain concepts like reaction kinetics and molecular bonding with precision. He's especially good at walking through dimensional analysis and unit conversions until they become second nature.
