Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors
serving Norfolk, VA

Stoichiometry, electron configurations, and equilibrium reactions tend to feel like disconnected rules until someone shows how they fit together. Waleed's engineering coursework required strong chemistry fundamentals — particularly in thermodynamics and molecular interactions — and he uses that background to teach the logic underneath the formulas rather than just the formulas themselves.

Teaching high school chemistry at the university level as VCU adjunct faculty gives Joel an unusual vantage point — he knows exactly which foundational gaps in mole conversions, electron configurations, and bonding theory trip students up later in AP or college courses. He addresses those gaps early, building each concept from the periodic table up so nothing feels like rote memorization.

Chemistry wasn't Christianna's primary field, but architecture school demands a solid grasp of material science — understanding molecular bonding, thermodynamics, and how chemical properties determine structural integrity. She applies that practical, problem-solving mindset to topics like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and periodic trends.

I'm a current medical student at VCU School of Medicine, and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I've had the pleasure of tutoring a diverse range of students for 5 years; while I tutor a broad set of subjects, I'm most passionate about biology, psychology, and chemistry. I'm a big proponent of ensuring understanding over memorization and teaching concepts that last for years to come (particularly for other students interested in medicine!) In my free time, I love to write poetry, edit essays, and gush about game writing with friends.

Stoichiometry and gas laws tend to click faster when the tutor explaining them is actively using that chemistry in a BS/MD program — Roshni's biology major at VCU means she's working through college-level chemistry courses where these high school topics are prerequisite knowledge, not abstract exercises. She zeroes in on dimensional analysis and mole relationships as the throughline connecting nearly every unit, teaching students to set up problems systematically so new chapters feel like extensions of what they already know. Rated 4.9 by students.

Most high school chemistry struggles come down to the same few sticking points: mole conversions, balancing equations, and making sense of electron configurations. Ava doesn't just re-explain the textbook — she identifies exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuilds from there. Her Bachelor's in Chemistry from James Madison University means she knows these topics inside and out, not just at the high school level but at the depth needed to truly make them intuitive.

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

A chemistry minor alongside her biology degree means Shona didn't just take a few chem classes — she worked through organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physical chemistry at VCU. She unpacks tricky high school topics like stoichiometry, electron configurations, and acid-base reactions by tying them back to the logic behind the periodic table. That deeper understanding turns confusing formulas into something students can actually reason through.

When students say they "don't get chemistry," the real issue is usually somewhere specific — maybe it's dimensional analysis, maybe it's electron configurations, maybe it's knowing when to apply Le Chatelier's principle. Brittany, a chemistry major at UVA, diagnoses those sticking points quickly and clears them up through guided questioning rather than lecturing. She holds a 5.0 rating from students.

Balancing equations and stoichiometry tend to frustrate students who haven't built a mental model of what's actually happening at the molecular level. Andrew earned AP Chemistry credit while in high school and now applies that chemistry foundation in his engineering studies at UVA, giving him a practical perspective on topics like bonding, equilibrium, and gas laws.

Balancing equations and predicting products clicked differently for Donya once her psychology training at the University of Maryland showed her how students actually process new information — so she teaches stoichiometry and reaction types by building the logic in the order a brain naturally organizes it. Her coursework in biology and chemistry means she can trace why gas laws or periodic trends matter beyond the textbook, connecting them to the neuroscience and physiology questions that make the concepts stick.

Stoichiometry clicks differently when someone can trace it all the way up to organic reaction yields and MCAT-level biochemistry — and Rebecca's biology degree plus her deep run through both general and organic chemistry means she's done exactly that. She teaches mole relationships and balancing equations by anchoring them in the reaction logic rather than letting students treat them as standalone math exercises. Rated 5.0 by students.

This isn't Hasan's core area — his degrees are in Literary Arts and Visual Arts from Brown — but his role as a lead teacher at a classical academy means he regularly supports students across subjects, including chemistry fundamentals like nomenclature, dimensional analysis, and basic stoichiometry. He's strongest at teaching students how to read and dissect word-heavy chemistry problems, applying the same close-reading instincts from his literary training to pull apart what a question is actually asking.

Balancing equations, mole conversions, and periodic trends are the building blocks of high school chemistry, and Camille tackles each one by teaching the underlying logic rather than handing students a formula sheet. Her pre-med background at Duke means she's fluent in the problem-solving style these courses demand. 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.

Chemistry can feel like learning a new language — balancing equations, interpreting the mole concept, predicting reaction types — and Asta treats it that way, breaking each topic into its own vocabulary and logic. Her experience tutoring internationally in Hong Kong gave her practice explaining scientific concepts to students from varied academic backgrounds. Rated 5.0 by students.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base reactions make more sense when a student can see where they lead. Bidyut ties high school chemistry concepts to biomedical applications he's encountered at Johns Hopkins, turning mole calculations and reaction balancing into something more tangible than textbook exercises.

Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and periodic trends all demand a kind of precise, quantitative reasoning that Allan developed through his biological sciences coursework, where chemistry and biology constantly overlap. He walks students through each problem type step by step, emphasizing the logic behind mole ratios and reaction predictions so the math never feels arbitrary.

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.

Working at UPenn's Tutoring Center, Brittany spent semesters teaching General Chemistry I and II to both undergraduate and graduate students — so she's diagnosed the exact points where topics like stoichiometry, gas laws, and chemical equilibrium tend to fall apart for learners at different levels. That hands-on repetition with real students means she can spot whether a high schooler's confusion stems from the math, the conceptual model, or just shaky notation, and adjust accordingly.

Amber's path led to theater casting and producing in New York, but her 35 ACT and deep comfort with math and science mean she tackles chemistry topics like stoichiometry and gas laws with the same precision she brings to her strongest subjects. She teaches students to read chemical equations the way she reads a script — pulling apart what each piece is doing and why it's there, so nomenclature and reaction balancing start to follow a logic instead of feeling arbitrary. Rated 5.0 by students.

Premed neuroscience coursework at Rice put Aditi through rigorous chemistry sequences where concepts like equilibrium, stoichiometry, and thermodynamics weren't electives — they were prerequisites for everything that followed. She zeroes in on the periodic table as a predictive tool, teaching students to use trends in electronegativity and atomic radius to reason through bonding and reactivity questions rather than memorize isolated facts. Rated 4.8 by students.

Fourth-year medical students don't usually think about stoichiometry or gas laws anymore, but Michael's path through Albert Einstein College of Medicine — plus his biology degree earned summa cum laude — means he's built on those high school chemistry foundations repeatedly in biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiology. He also spent time tutoring Regents-level chemistry and teaching MCAT prep for Kaplan, so he knows exactly where the gaps tend to form around topics like nomenclature, mole calculations, and balancing equations, and how to close them quickly.
