Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors
serving Memphis, TN

Teaching college chemistry for years gave Jeremy a clear picture of what high school students actually need before they arrive on a college campus — and where most curricula leave gaps. He zeroes in on the conceptual reasoning behind topics like mole conversions, gas laws, and electron configurations, making sure students can explain *why* an answer is correct, not just arrive at the right number.

The jump from memorizing element names to actually solving equilibrium expressions or predicting reaction products is where most high school chemistry students stall. Andrew walks through the logic behind each calculation step — why you flip a Ka expression, how sig figs actually work, what a limiting reagent really means — so the problem-solving becomes repeatable, not random.

I'm a high school chemistry and biology teacher with a love of languages. I consider myself a lifelong learner and am excited to share and discover new subjects and ideas. I'd love to help you in your learning journey as well! I started tutoring as a college freshman after taking an advanced chemistry course and realizing how much I enjoyed working with my classmates to help them study and solve difficult problems. My college hired me to tutor French, biology, and chemistry students throughout the next three and a half years. I also started meeting with several gifted high school students who needed guidance in preparing the best college applications possible. Having successfully passed seven AP tests as a student, I was able to help them prepare for the most challenging content in the classes and on the AP tests. I was also able to share ACT test strategies and content knowledge from my own experience that helped me achieve a 35 cumulative score and qualify as a national merit scholar on the PSAT. During college, I also had the opportunity to volunteer my time with high school students who were internationally adopted or in foster care while awaiting immigration proceedings. Working with students who were learning math, science, and other subjects in their second language became a passion that drove me to switch career paths and become a teacher in a public school. I speak conversational French and Spanish which has given me such an appreciation for the patience and grace of native speakers willing to help me. This has framed my entire approach to education as science often feels like a foreign language to students who are not yet fluent. With patience, exposure, and practice, I believe every student can be successful at even the most challenging science concepts. Now I teach high school chemistry and AP chemistry, but I'm also certified in and have taught high school biology and physical science. My favorite part of teaching chemistry is the moment of satisfaction students experience when they have struggled and overcome a difficult task. My students may have different journeys to success, but I love celebrating every victory.

Chemistry clicks when students see the logic underneath the formulas — why electron configurations predict reactivity, or how stoichiometry is really just bookkeeping for atoms. Dennis earned his Masters in Chemical and Physical Biology at Vanderbilt, so he teaches concepts like equilibrium, thermodynamics, and bonding from a place of deep daily familiarity rather than rote textbook review. Rated 5.0 by students.

Balancing equations, predicting products, and navigating the mole concept are the topics where most high school chemistry students start to struggle. Kelly's chemical engineering training gave her deep fluency with these ideas, and she's the kind of person friends and family still call when they need a chemistry concept explained clearly — a habit she's turned into a 5.0 tutoring rating.

Pursuing a chemistry degree at Vanderbilt means Lawrence isn't just recalling high school material — he's actively building on it in college-level courses every semester, which keeps concepts like stoichiometry, chemical kinetics, and thermodynamics sharp and interconnected. That ongoing immersion lets him explain the reasoning behind problem setups rather than just walking through the steps, especially when students hit the quantitative side of the course. Rated 4.7 by students.

Balancing equations and stoichiometry tend to be the first stumbling blocks in high school chemistry, and Matthew tackles them by teaching students to think in terms of conservation — the same principle that drove much of his engineering coursework. He's especially strong on gas laws and thermochemistry, where his physics intuition adds an extra layer of clarity.

Two biomedical engineering degrees mean Allyson has spent years working with chemistry at the molecular level — understanding how materials interact with biological tissue, how reaction kinetics govern drug delivery, and why thermodynamics matters in device design. That engineering lens gives her a practical way to teach high school topics like stoichiometry and chemical bonding, tying the calculations to problems where getting the chemistry wrong has real consequences. Rated 4.9 by students.

Kathleen's Ph.D. in Molecular Pathology & Immunology from Vanderbilt sits on top of an undergraduate chemistry degree from the University of Arkansas, which means she's never really left chemistry behind — she's just kept applying it at higher and higher levels. That depth shows when she teaches topics like electron orbitals or chemical equilibrium, because she can trace exactly how those high school concepts become the tools that drive real research in biochemistry and medicine.

Studying biochemistry means Fay doesn't just remember high school chemistry — she's actively building on it, using concepts like equilibrium, reaction energetics, and molecular structure in upper-level coursework right now. That proximity to the material shows when she explains something like gas laws or periodic trends, because she can pinpoint exactly where a concept is headed and why it matters beyond the current chapter. Rated 4.9 by students.

Balancing equations, mole conversions, and periodic trends can feel like disconnected topics until someone shows how they all connect. Elizabeth's science degree gave her deep fluency with these foundational chemistry concepts, and she teaches them as a coherent story — atoms behave in predictable ways, and once a student sees the pattern, problems that seemed impossible start solving themselves.

Stoichiometry trips up more high school chemistry students than almost anything else, usually because the dimensional analysis framework wasn't taught clearly the first time. Kristen walks through unit conversions and mole relationships step by step, building the kind of problem-solving routine that carries through to acids and bases, gas laws, and beyond.

Studying chemistry as his actual major — not just a prerequisite to check off — means Nathan lives inside concepts like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and bonding theory semester after semester, building the kind of fluency that makes explaining them second nature. He's particularly sharp at walking through dimensional analysis and mole calculations, two areas where high school students tend to lose the thread between setup and solution. His pre-med trajectory keeps him actively applying these ideas in contexts that go well beyond the textbook.

The jump from memorizing chemical formulas to actually solving equilibrium and redox problems is where most high school chemistry students struggle. JF tackles this gap head-on, walking through dimensional analysis, electron bookkeeping, and reaction predictions with the precision his Stanford math background provides. He's rated 5.0 by students who've worked with him.

Running a middle school science department in Philadelphia meant John taught chemistry fundamentals daily — building up from atomic structure and the periodic table to chemical reactions and basic stoichiometry — and his role as curriculum chair forced him to think carefully about the sequence in which those ideas need to land. That classroom experience shows when he explains topics like balancing equations or classifying reaction types, because he's already mapped out where students typically get lost. Rated 5.0 by students.

Pre-med coursework and MCAT preparation mean Mosab has worked through chemistry concepts like stoichiometry, gas laws, and equilibrium recently enough that he remembers exactly where the confusion hits — and what finally made each idea click. He walks through the quantitative reasoning behind problems step by step, connecting the math to the underlying chemical behavior so it stops feeling like arbitrary formula work. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Balancing equations, understanding molarity, and predicting reaction products all click faster when a student sees the logic underneath the formulas. Li's medical and science background means she can explain why a precipitation reaction happens at the molecular level, then walk through the math step by step.

Czarina is a biophysics and premed student at Johns Hopkins who scored 770 on the SAT Chemistry subject test — meaning she's recently navigated the exact material high school chemistry students are working through, from periodic trends and bonding to thermodynamics and reaction kinetics. She zeroes in on the conceptual logic behind gas law calculations and equilibrium expressions so that problem-solving feels intuitive rather than formulaic. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Three science bachelor's degrees plus a medical doctorate means Sydny has taken chemistry at every level — from introductory courses through the biochemistry and pharmacology that med school demands daily. She unpacks topics like stoichiometry and gas laws by connecting them to the biological and medical contexts where those calculations actually do something, which tends to make the abstract feel worth learning.

Priya's math degree at Vanderbilt gives her a real advantage when chemistry turns quantitative — dimensional analysis, molarity calculations, and stoichiometry all come down to setting up ratios correctly, which is exactly how a mathematician thinks. She teaches students to treat these problems as structured logic puzzles rather than chemistry-specific hurdles, so the math never becomes the reason a student falls behind in the course.

Stoichiometry and gas laws tend to feel like arbitrary math until someone connects them back to what's actually happening at the molecular level — and Nishad's pre-med training means he's spent years building that connection across chemistry, biology, and anatomy courses. He teaches students to trace the logic from balanced equations through to mole ratios and limiting reagents, so the calculations follow naturally from understanding rather than formula memorization.

Balancing equations and stoichiometry problems click faster when you understand what's actually happening at the molecular level — and Laura's biology coursework at WashU in St. Louis means she's constantly applying chemistry concepts like bonding, reaction energetics, and solution behavior in biological contexts. That dual perspective lets her explain why a concept like electronegativity or gas behavior matters beyond the chemistry classroom, which tends to make the logic memorable rather than disposable. Rated 5.0 by students.

Three science bachelor's degrees — including one specifically in chemistry — mean Sung has spent serious time with everything from electron orbitals to thermochemistry, not just at the introductory level but across multiple disciplinary angles. He digs into the "why" behind concepts like periodic trends and reaction energetics so students can reason through unfamiliar problems on exams instead of relying on memorized shortcuts. Rated 5.0 by students.

Starting chemistry for the first time can feel like learning a new language — moles, electron configurations, Lewis structures — and Eric excels at translating that language into something intuitive. He holds a master's in chemistry and approaches introductory topics with patience and specificity, making sure students understand the 'why' behind each concept before moving to the next one.

Balancing redox equations, predicting products, and navigating stoichiometry all become more manageable when a student understands the 'why' behind each reaction type. Maggie's molecular and cellular biology degree gave her deep fluency in chemical principles, and she applies that knowledge to demystify everything from periodic trends to equilibrium calculations. She holds a 5.0 rating from students.
