Award-Winning College Chemistry Tutors
serving Detroit, MI

Dartmouth's pre-med track put Arianna through a rigorous gen chem sequence where topics like electronegativity, VSEPR theory, and solution stoichiometry had to stick — not just for exams, but for every upper-level neuroscience and biology course that followed. She teaches college chemistry by anchoring abstract ideas to the biological systems where they resurface, which clicks especially well for life-science majors who need a reason to care about electron configurations. Rated 4.8 by students.

Working as a research assistant in transplant surgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Jonathan applies chemistry daily — from understanding drug interactions to the biochemistry of tissue preservation. That hands-on lab experience means he can ground tricky gen chem topics like stoichiometry and solution chemistry in real scenarios rather than leaving them as abstract textbook exercises. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying chemical and biological engineering means Suzie has been stress-tested on gen chem material — thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, stoichiometry — in courses that demanded she actually use it to solve mass and energy balances, not just reproduce it on an exam. She's now pursuing an MD/PhD at Michigan Medical School, so she teaches college chemistry with a clear picture of how each concept threads into biochemistry, physiology, and beyond. Rated 5.0 by students.

Organic mechanisms, thermodynamics, equilibrium — college chemistry covers an enormous range, and Pratik has tutored it extensively at both the high school and undergraduate level. He digs into the reasoning behind reaction trends and periodic properties so that students can predict behavior on exams rather than relying on memorized examples.

Transitioning from high school to college chemistry means grappling with thermodynamics, equilibrium constants, and orbital theory at a much deeper level. Surina tackled these topics throughout her microbiology coursework at Barrett Honors College and knows where the conceptual gaps from general chem tend to show up in organic and biochemistry courses down the line.

I am a second year medical student at Wayne State University. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with two bachelor's degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Classics with a minor in Chemistry. I have been tutoring for four years in various subjects, but my favorites are Chemistry and Latin. I have experience tutoring from middle school to college age students and enjoy working with them one on one to identify their weaknesses and create a plan to rectify them. I believe that each student learns differently and finding the best strategies for them will lead to their success.

Heading to the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics, Phil brings serious quantitative chops to the parts of college chemistry that are really algebra in disguise — equilibrium expressions, rate law calculations, stoichiometric ratios, and gas law derivations. He also has hundreds of hours tutoring chemistry specifically, so he knows when a student's real problem is the concept and when it's the math tripping them up. That distinction matters in gen chem, where the two get tangled together fast.

Chemical engineering at UW-Madison meant Morgan didn't just take college chemistry — she relied on it daily through courses in reactor kinetics, mass transfer, and process thermodynamics, where sloppy understanding of equilibrium or enthalpy calculations would tank an entire problem set. That engineering context gives her a sharp eye for the specific conceptual gaps that cause students to lose points, especially in topics like solution stoichiometry and calorimetry where the chemistry and the math have to work in lockstep.

A PhD in Chemistry with research time at both Windsor and Cornell means Alaaeddeen has taught college chemistry topics — electron configurations, chemical kinetics, solution stoichiometry — across every level from introductory lectures to graduate seminars. He digs into the reasoning behind each step of a problem rather than letting students default to formula-plugging, a teaching approach he's refined since 2011. Rated 5.0 by students.

Pursuing a chemistry doctorate at the University of Michigan after completing his bachelor's at Truman State, Tyler has lived college chemistry from both sides of the classroom — learning the material and then teaching it at the undergraduate level. He's particularly sharp on the topics where students quietly fall behind, like electron configurations feeding into bonding theory or how equilibrium math depends on getting ICE tables set up correctly before touching the calculator. Rated 5.0 by students.

Biochemistry at Michigan meant Kirby didn't just take college chemistry — she kept using it, applying concepts like reaction thermodynamics, acid-base equilibria, and molecular interactions through upper-level coursework in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. That layered exposure gives her a clear sense of which gen chem topics students need to truly internalize versus which ones they can afford to revisit later. Rated 4.9 by students.

Quantum numbers, molecular orbital theory, kinetics — college chemistry demands a level of abstraction that a general chemistry course only hints at. Vazrik earned his B.S. in Chemistry before moving into a materials science doctoral program, so he can walk through concepts like crystal field theory or electrochemistry with the depth of someone who applies them in active research.

I'm Yanti, a USC award-winning writing instructor, an emergency medicine continuing educator, and a biology major with a chemistry minor. For 36 years, I've taught students how to master difficult concepts across a very wide range of subjects. While I focus on professional licensing and standardized exam test prep, I've taught most major subjects at every level and ability. I love teaching, not lecturing. You will get information and techniques in any way that works for you: color-coded charts, visual mind maps, easy-to-memorize songs. Whatever the format, I break complex ideas into clear, doable steps that make sense to you. No fluff. No jargon. Just clarity, confidence, and even some fun. In our sessions, you get structure, support, and a coach who makes learning enjoyable and easy again. If you're ready to succeed, laugh a little, and learn a lot, please book a lesson. I'd love to work with you. Thank you!

I am passionate about. Throughout my education, even in elementary school, I would love helping my friends do better in their schooling, whether that be by just answering a few questions they had, some one-on-one time, or a group study session.

I am eternally grateful! I minored in Chemistry after getting interested in the inner workings of organic chemistry. While going to college I earned money by tutoring classes I had already taken. I also offered "supplemental instruction" which were informal classroom question and answer sessions. I worked in a research lab after earning an undergraduate research fellowship and explored Physiology at the School of Medicine. Then went on to study Toxicology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While there a decision appeared clear between focusing on research or teaching. I like teaching better. I truly enjoy spreading knowledge about Biology and Chemistry and finding fun ways to introduce people to these (often difficult) subjects.

Balancing redox equations, predicting reaction spontaneity with Gibbs free energy, working through equilibrium problems — these are the topics that trip up most college chemistry students. Laura tackles them daily as a biology major at WashU, where the pre-med chemistry sequence demands real fluency with thermodynamics, kinetics, and acid-base chemistry. Rated 5.0 by students, she breaks down quantitative problems into clear, logical steps.

Thermodynamics is Rahul's favorite corner of chemistry — and as a Cornell chemical engineering graduate (magna cum laude), he's applied concepts like enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and reaction spontaneity far beyond the gen chem textbook, through upper-level coursework in physical chemistry and process design. He pushes students to grasp the conceptual reasoning behind each problem before touching the math, so topics like calorimetry and equilibrium stop feeling like disconnected formula exercises. Rated 4.9 by students.

Working in Duke's Bilbo lab on neuroimmune interactions means Lauren applies gen chem principles — reaction kinetics, molecular polarity, acid-base behavior — in a research setting where getting the chemistry wrong has real consequences for experimental design. That hands-on context, paired with her neuroscience and chemistry coursework, gives her a practical read on which concepts students need to truly internalize versus which ones they're just memorizing long enough to pass the exam. Rated 4.8 by students.

Tackling college-level chemistry means juggling thermodynamics, kinetics, and equilibrium all in the same problem set. Brittany was employed at the University of Pennsylvania's Tutoring Center specifically for General Chemistry I and II, where she worked with both undergraduates encountering the material for the first time and graduate students brushing up on fundamentals. That range sharpened her ability to adjust explanations to any level of preparation.

Going from a Penn undergrad to medical school means Jessica sat through college chemistry twice — once as a prerequisite and again when biochemistry and pharmacology demanded she actually internalize concepts like reaction energetics, acid-base equilibria, and molecular interactions at a deeper level. That second pass gave her a clear sense of which gen chem topics students need to truly own versus merely survive, and she teaches accordingly. Rated 4.8 by students.

Having served as an undergraduate teaching assistant at Cornell for introductory biochemistry, Josef has spent real time diagnosing where students get stuck on foundational chemistry — electron configurations bleeding into bonding theory, or mole concepts falling apart during stoichiometric conversions. He teaches college chemistry with a life sciences backbone, connecting topics like solution chemistry and reaction energetics to the biological applications his students will actually encounter next semester. Rated 5.0 by students.

Cognitive Studies at Vanderbilt gave Vy an unusual angle on college chemistry — she understands how students actually learn and retain dense, concept-heavy material like electron configurations, equilibrium shifts, and thermodynamic laws, not just the content itself. She uses that awareness to structure explanations around how the brain organizes new information, which makes a real difference when a student is drowning in a fast-paced gen chem course. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Neuroscience at Vanderbilt means Blake has been neck-deep in college chemistry — gen chem concepts like molecular bonding, reaction energetics, and acid-base systems are the scaffolding for everything from neuropharmacology to membrane biophysics. His approach leans on building intuition for why a reaction behaves the way it does, drawing on his interest in how people actually learn and retain complex material. Rated 5.0 by students.

Second-year med student at Baylor College of Medicine, Michelle still remembers exactly which gen chem concepts — electron orbitals, buffer systems, reaction thermodynamics — became non-negotiable once biochemistry and physiology started building on them. Her Rice biochemistry degree means she learned college chemistry at a place where the coursework was rigorous enough to expose every shortcut that doesn't hold up, and she teaches accordingly: precise on the fundamentals so nothing collapses later.

First-year med students don't forget what tripped them up in gen chem — and Nishad, currently at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, uses that recent memory to zero in on the conceptual breaks that derail students in topics like electron configuration, chemical bonding, and equilibrium. His premed background means he's taken college chemistry with the same stakes his students face, and he teaches it by connecting the molecular-level reasoning to the calculations so neither piece feels like it's floating on its own.

Most college chemistry students don't expect a math major to be the one who makes electron configurations or equilibrium expressions click — but Tessa's mathematics training at Yale means she can cleanly separate the quantitative mechanics of a problem from the chemical reasoning, which is exactly where most gen chem confusion hides. She also scored a 36 ACT and holds a 4.9 rating, though what matters more is her knack for showing students the logical structure underneath topics that otherwise feel like pure memorization.

Matt's neuroscience degree with a chemistry minor means he didn't just pass gen chem — he built on it through upper-level coursework in biochemistry and physiology, where concepts like molecular bonding, reaction energetics, and equilibrium stop being abstract and start explaining how biological systems actually function. That applied perspective lets him teach college chemistry topics by anchoring them to something concrete, which tends to make the leap from lecture notes to problem sets much less painful.
