Fourth-year med student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Michael has been applying gen chem principles — acid-base chemistry, reaction thermodynamics, solution behavior — in clinical and biochemical contexts for years, which means he can explain not just how to solve a problem but where that concept resurfaces later. His biology degree from Yeshiva College (summa cum laude) and time teaching MCAT prep for Kaplan gave him practice breaking down the exact topics that trip up college chemistry students: stoichiometry setups, equilibrium expressions, and the leap from qualitative reasoning to quantitative problem-solving.

Organic mechanisms, thermodynamics, or quantum-level electron behavior — college chemistry demands that students juggle multiple frameworks at once. Laura's rigorous science training at Fordham, combined with her current Columbia graduate program, means she can connect general chemistry principles to the biological and environmental contexts that make them easier to remember. Rated 5.0 by students.
The jump to college chemistry often hits hardest in thermodynamics and equilibrium, where intuition from high school stops being enough. Charles approaches these topics with a structured, math-heavy framework that treats each problem like a puzzle with identifiable steps. His background across both math and science subjects means he can reinforce the calculus and algebra that college-level chem demands.
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'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
College Chemistry requires mastering both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills—from balancing complex equations to applying stoichiometry in real-world contexts. Many students struggle with visualizing molecular structures and bonding, unit conversions, and connecting abstract theoretical concepts like thermodynamics to tangible applications. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify whether gaps stem from foundational algebra skills, conceptual misunderstandings, or test-taking strategy, allowing tutors to target support where it matters most.
Lab work requires understanding the scientific method, proper experimental design, and data analysis—skills that go beyond memorizing procedures. Tutors can help you develop strong scientific reasoning, teach you how to interpret results critically, and prepare you to write clear lab reports that demonstrate conceptual mastery. Whether you're struggling with calculations, experimental setup, or drawing conclusions from data, personalized instruction strengthens both your hands-on skills and your ability to communicate scientific findings.
During an initial session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of key topics, identify specific areas where you're losing points (whether it's equilibrium, kinetics, or acid-base chemistry), and learn about your learning style and goals. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan that targets your unique challenges—whether that's building conceptual clarity, strengthening problem-solving speed, or preparing for exams. You'll leave with concrete strategies and a roadmap for improvement.
College Chemistry success requires both—but understanding concepts is the foundation. When you grasp why reactions occur and how to apply principles like Le Chatelier's principle or electronegativity, you can solve novel problems even if you don't recall every formula. Tutors help you build deep conceptual understanding first, then teach you which key equations and reactions are worth memorizing and how to derive others from core principles. This approach builds genuine mastery rather than fragile memorization.
Bronx students have access to personalized 1-on-1 instruction that connects College Chemistry concepts to real-world applications and your specific academic goals. Tutors can work with you using your textbook, course materials, and practice problems from your college or university, ensuring alignment with your exact curriculum. Whether you attend a CUNY campus, Fordham, or another institution, personalized tutoring adapts to your course requirements and learning pace.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry problems require systematic practice and understanding the underlying logic—not just pattern-matching. Tutors teach you a step-by-step approach, help you recognize common patterns, and build your confidence through guided practice on increasingly complex problems. With personalized instruction, you'll develop the problem-solving intuition to tackle unfamiliar reactions and multi-step stoichiometry problems on exams.
Many students struggle to visualize molecular structures, bonding, and quantum concepts—but strong tutors use multiple approaches to build this mental model. They might use 3D models, drawings, analogies, and interactive explanations to help you 'see' how atoms bond, how electrons behave, and why molecular geometry matters. Once you can visualize these concepts, equations and reactions become much more intuitive, transforming abstract chemistry into concrete understanding.
This depends on your current level, the exam scope, and your starting timeline. Students often benefit from 2-4 weeks of consistent tutoring before major exams, with sessions focused on identifying weak topics, practicing problem types, and building test-taking strategy. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can recommend a personalized prep schedule based on your needs and help you make the most efficient use of study time.
