Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Quinn

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common challenges are balancing chemical equations, understanding stoichiometry (converting between moles, grams, and particles), and grasping equilibrium concepts. Many students also struggle with acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, and visualizing molecular geometry and bonding at the atomic level. These topics require both procedural fluency (knowing how to solve problems) and conceptual understanding (knowing why the math works), which is why targeted tutoring makes a significant difference.

Rather than having students memorize formulas, tutors connect abstract concepts to tangible examples—like explaining how electron configurations relate to an element's position on the periodic table, or how Le Chatelier's Principle applies to real industrial processes. Tutors also use visualization techniques, molecular models, and practice with varied problem types to help students build mental frameworks. This approach strengthens both test performance and the scientific reasoning skills needed for higher-level chemistry and science courses.

Tutors help students understand the scientific method and how to interpret experimental results, not just follow procedures. They explain why certain techniques matter (like proper measurement, controlling variables, or using significant figures), help students troubleshoot when experiments don't go as expected, and teach how to analyze data and draw conclusions. This bridges the gap between classroom labs and the conceptual chemistry behind them, making lab reports and practical assessments less stressful.

Unit conversions require students to think in multiple ways simultaneously—tracking what they're converting, which conversion factors to use, and keeping track of significant figures. Many students memorize steps without understanding the logic, so they freeze when a problem looks slightly different. Expert tutors break down dimensional analysis into its core logic, show how to set up conversions systematically, and build confidence through practice with increasingly complex problems involving moles, molarity, gas laws, and stoichiometry.

Many students try random guessing or memorizing patterns, which doesn't work. Tutors teach a systematic method: identifying oxidation states (for redox reactions), balancing atoms by element, and checking charges. More importantly, tutors help students understand what balancing actually means—that atoms are conserved and charges must balance—so the process makes logical sense rather than feeling arbitrary. With guided practice and clear strategies, even students who initially find it confusing become proficient.

Equilibrium is abstract—students can't see molecules shifting back and forth—so tutors use multiple strategies: animated simulations, particle diagrams, graphs showing concentration changes over time, and real-world examples like a reversible reaction in a closed container. Tutors also connect equilibrium calculations (Kc, Kp, ICE tables) back to the underlying concept of dynamic balance. This combination of visualization, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving practice helps students move from confusion to genuine comprehension.

For students struggling with fundamentals, tutors focus on building strong foundations in atomic structure, bonding, and basic stoichiometry before moving to more complex topics. For students at grade level, tutors deepen conceptual understanding and tackle challenging topics like equilibrium and thermodynamics. For advanced students, tutors push toward AP Chemistry-level reasoning, synthesis across topics, and problem-solving strategies. In all cases, personalized instruction targets exactly where a student needs support rather than generic review.

Tutors identify which specific topics and problem types a student finds challenging, then build targeted practice with similar questions. They teach test-taking strategies specific to Chemistry—like how to approach multi-step stoichiometry problems, when to use approximations versus exact calculations, and how to manage time on exams with both conceptual and calculation-heavy questions. Regular practice with feedback and review of mistakes ensures students walk into exams confident and prepared.
