Award-Winning College Chemistry Tutors
serving Lansing, MI

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Working in a research lab at UTHealth, Emily applies gen chem principles like reaction kinetics, buffer systems, and molecular interactions at the bench every day — which means she can show students what these concepts look like beyond the textbook problem set. Her biochemistry and cell biology degree built the content depth, and active research keeps it sharp, especially for topics like solution chemistry and thermodynamics where real-world context makes the logic easier to hold onto.

Computer science at Cornell Engineering required Ravnoor to grind through the same rigorous gen chem sequence that gates so many STEM majors — and his 5.0 rating suggests he retained more than enough to teach it. He tackles calculation-dense topics like stoichiometry and gas laws by decomposing them the way a programmer would: isolate the variables, track the units, and debug each step before moving forward.

General chemistry at the college level demands comfort with both conceptual reasoning and quantitative problem-solving — balancing redox half-reactions one day, then interpreting molecular orbital diagrams the next. Kate's master's work in environmental engineering required deep fluency in chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, and she brings that applied perspective to topics like enthalpy calculations, acid-base equilibria, and electrochemistry.

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. Rated 5.0 by students.

Predentistry at Columbia means Erica is preparing for a career where gen chem concepts like acid-base chemistry, molecular bonding, and solution properties aren't abstract — they're clinically relevant every day. Her Harvard history of science background also gives her an unusual knack for explaining *why* chemical models were built the way they were, which makes memorizing periodic trends and electron configurations feel less arbitrary. Rated 4.9 by students.

When college chemistry students feel overwhelmed, it's usually because topics like gas laws, equilibrium, and stoichiometry are piling up faster than they can organize the connections between them — and untangling that clutter is where Rachel excels. Her science background across biology, anatomy, and physiology means she's applied gen chem principles in multiple contexts, so she can show how a concept like acid-base behavior or molecular polarity actually functions beyond the textbook chapter it first appears in.

General chemistry at the college level demands more than balancing equations — it requires thinking in terms of energy, equilibrium, and molecular behavior. Jhonatan approaches topics like thermodynamics, acid-base chemistry, and kinetics by grounding abstract formulas in physical intuition, drawing on the quantitative rigor he developed through his biological sciences degree. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.

A bio-organic chemistry degree means Alex has lived through the full gen chem sequence and then pushed those concepts further — into reaction mechanisms, molecular orbital theory, and the quantitative problem-solving that upper-level chemistry demands. That depth shows up when tackling topics like chemical kinetics or periodic trends, where he can explain not just how to solve a problem but why the underlying chemistry behaves the way it does.

Li's doctoral-level medical coursework means she's encountered college chemistry concepts like acid-base equilibria, solution chemistry, and reaction energetics in clinical contexts where getting the chemistry wrong has real consequences. Her microbiology and anatomy teaching background also means she can ground abstract gen chem topics — like intermolecular forces or oxidation states — in the biological systems students will see again in upper-level courses.

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.
