Her 5.0 rating speaks to an approach that grounds the math-heavy parts of chemistry in concrete reasoning, so students understand why mole ratios and dimensional analysis work rather than just following steps.

Five years tutoring chemistry at Ohio State — while actively pursuing his own chemistry degree — means Ricardo has watched hundreds of students hit the same stumbling points in topics like stoichiometry, Lewis structures, and thermochemistry. He tackles those recurring trouble spots by building up from the atomic-level logic, so students can predict what should happen in a problem before they even start calculating. Rated 4.6 by students.

Pharmacy school puts stoichiometry, solution chemistry, and acid-base reactions to work every single day — calculating drug concentrations, predicting solubility, understanding how a molecule's structure determines its behavior in the body. Lillian draws on that daily immersion to teach high school chemistry topics as interconnected ideas rather than isolated chapters, showing students how mole calculations and chemical equations feed directly into real pharmaceutical problems. Rated 4.9 by students.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and periodic trends click faster when a student sees the logic behind them instead of treating each as a separate formula to memorize. William studied AP Chemistry alongside his psychology degree at Loyola, and he connects chemical concepts to real-world examples — like why ice floats or how batteries work — to make the reasoning stick.

When students struggle in high school chemistry, it's usually at a specific bottleneck — maybe it's electron configurations, maybe it's equilibrium calculations, maybe it's naming organic compounds. Sunay diagnoses where the confusion starts and rebuilds understanding from that point forward, rather than re-teaching everything from scratch. His 4.9 rating speaks to an approach that's efficient and tailored to each student's gaps.

As a physical chemistry PhD student at Ohio State, Emily lives in the space where abstract chemical principles meet real-world behavior — thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, molecular structure.

I am a recent graduate from Grand Valley State University, with a Bachelor's of Science in Microbiology and a minor in Spanish. I will be attending medical school at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD. School of Medicine starting this summer. I have been a tutor for the past six years, and have worked with students from a diverse array of backgrounds. I started out as a volunteer K-5 English and Math tutor at a center for underprivileged youth in rural Ohio. After graduating high school and starting college, I began working as a college biology and Spanish tutor at the university success center. I was designated the top tutor of 2021, having conducted 250 sessions in one semester. Upon noticing a lack of affordable MCAT prep options, I began offering MCAT prep classes online during the height of the COVID19 pandemic. I have worked with veterans, adult learners, and people with disabilities. I am passionate about providing all students, regardless of age or situation, with personalized tutor sessions that help them achieve their full potential. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering at my church, running, and discovering new cuisines.
