I believe that each student learns differently and finding the best strategies for them will lead to their success.

Stoichiometry and gas law problems are really just math problems wearing a lab coat — and Phil, heading to the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics this fall, is unusually good at stripping away the intimidating chemistry vocabulary to reveal the proportional reasoning and unit analysis underneath. He teaches students to set up the quantitative framework first, then layer in the chemistry, which turns multi-step calculations from overwhelming to methodical.

Microbiology coursework at Arizona State put Surina through the full general chemistry gauntlet — not just memorizing periodic trends and nomenclature, but actually using concepts like equilibrium and reaction energetics to understand how microorganisms metabolize and interact with their chemical environments. She draws on that background to make topics like the mole concept and chemical equations feel less abstract, tying the math back to tangible processes students can picture. Rated 5.0 by students.

Balancing equations and predicting products can feel like guesswork until someone shows you the logic underneath. Carly teaches high school chemistry by connecting each concept — mole conversions, gas laws, periodic trends — back to a handful of core principles that make the subject click. Her engineering training at Oakland University gave her years of applied chemistry practice, which she uses to ground abstract ideas in real examples.

The jump into high school chemistry can feel overwhelming when moles, electron configurations, and gas laws all hit at once. Alaaeddeen tackles this by slowing down at the conceptual level — explaining *why* Avogadro's number matters or what's really happening during a phase change — before moving to calculations. He's been teaching students at this level since 2011 and holds a 5.0 rating.

Balancing equations, understanding molarity, predicting reaction products — high school chemistry requires a kind of problem-solving that blends math skills with conceptual reasoning.

Balancing redox equations, predicting reaction products, working through stoichiometry — high school chemistry is where students either build real chemical thinking or start memorizing without understanding. Uchenna graduated magna cum laude in biochemistry and tackles these topics by walking through the reasoning behind each step rather than handing students a shortcut. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

Balancing equations, mole conversions, and stoichiometry demand a comfort with math that many chemistry students don't yet have. Nikki's mechanical engineering training at Eastern Michigan gave her a strong handle on the quantitative side of chemistry, so she can unpack both the math and the science behind each reaction simultaneously.

That first high school chemistry class can feel like learning a new language — moles, electron configurations, Lewis structures — all at once. Tyler, who earned his bachelor's in chemistry and is now in a doctoral program at the University of Michigan, walks through each concept with real-world context so the periodic table starts to make intuitive sense instead of feeling like random memorization.

I have a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, with additional graduate studies in Chemical Engineering and Computer Science, and over 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring STEM subjects. I work with students of different ages, backgrounds, and learning styles in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related subjects. I believe the best tutoring starts with understanding how each student thinks. My goal is to identify where a concept becomes unclear, explain it from the student's perspective, and help them build both understanding and confidence. I want my students to learn not just how to find the right answer, but why it is the right answer and how to approach similar problems independently. I believe there is always learning in teaching, and that is one of the reasons I continue to enjoy working with students after all these years.

Stoichiometry clicks faster when the tutor genuinely thinks in moles — and Kirby's biochemistry degree from the University of Michigan means she spent years doing exactly that, applying concepts like reaction yields, solution chemistry, and equilibrium well past the introductory level. She zeroes in on the dimensional analysis and unit-tracking skills that trip up most high school students, turning what feels like formula chaos into a repeatable, logical process. Rated 4.9 by students.

Most high school chemistry struggles come down to a few sticking points: balancing equations, understanding molarity, or visualizing electron configurations. Vikhyathi zeroes in on whichever concept is causing the roadblock and rebuilds clarity from there, drawing on her own experience navigating rigorous science coursework at Michigan.

Mole conversions, electron configurations, and equilibrium calculations all require a kind of structured thinking that Jonathan teaches explicitly rather than assuming students will just absorb it. His daily work at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine means he applies chemical principles in a research setting, so he can show students why a concept like acid-base chemistry matters beyond the textbook. That context turns high school chemistry from a formula-memorization exercise into something that actually makes sense.

I'm Yanti, a USC award-winning writing instructor, an emergency medicine continuing educator, and a biology major with a chemistry minor.

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!

Balancing redox reactions, predicting products, and navigating stoichiometry are the concepts that tend to trip students up most in high school chemistry. Adam approaches each one methodically — mapping out the logic behind dimensional analysis and reaction types so students can solve problems independently, not just follow memorized steps.

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.

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.
