Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
Quinn

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, and thermodynamics most difficult because they require strong conceptual understanding rather than memorization. Electrochemistry and kinetics also trip up many students since they involve multiple interconnected concepts—reaction rates depend on concentration, temperature, and activation energy, and students often confuse which variables affect which outcomes. Additionally, the free response section demands students explain their reasoning for calculations, which many struggle with after relying solely on multiple-choice practice.
The AP Chemistry exam gives you 225 minutes for 60 multiple-choice questions and 7 free response questions—roughly 2 minutes per MC question and 15-20 minutes per FRQ. Many students spend too long on difficult MC questions and run out of time for FRQs, which are weighted equally. A smart strategy is to flag tricky MC questions, answer all the easier ones first, then return to harder ones if time permits. For free response, read all questions first, tackle the ones you're most confident about, and allocate your time based on point value rather than question difficulty.
Equilibrium confuses many students because it's abstract—you can't see the forward and reverse reactions happening simultaneously. A tutor can use concrete analogies (like a bathtub filling and draining at the same rate) and walk through how changing pressure, concentration, or temperature shifts the equilibrium position. They'll help you practice predicting shifts using Le Chatelier's principle with real examples, then apply that reasoning to complex scenarios like buffer systems and solubility equilibria that appear heavily on the exam.
FRQs require you to show your work and explain your reasoning, not just arrive at the correct answer. Tutors emphasize writing out your approach step-by-step: identify what you know, state the relevant equation or principle, show your calculation, and interpret your result in context. Many students lose points for skipping the 'why' behind their answer. Practice with actual AP released FRQs and have a tutor review your explanations—they'll point out where you're missing crucial reasoning or using imprecise language that costs you points.
Take full-length practice tests under timed conditions and carefully review every question you miss—not just the answer, but why you chose wrong and what concept you misunderstood. Group your errors by topic (equilibrium, redox, thermodynamics, etc.) to spot patterns. A tutor can analyze your practice test results, pinpoint whether you're struggling with conceptual understanding, calculation skills, or test-taking strategy, then target those specific gaps. Many students benefit from doing topic-specific problem sets on weak areas rather than re-studying everything.
Calculation errors often stem from rushing or not double-checking units and significant figures. Develop a habit of writing out every step—show your setup, plug in numbers with units, and verify your answer makes sense (e.g., a pH should be between 0-14). A tutor can help you practice problems at exam pace while catching where you're cutting corners, then build in a 'check your work' routine. Many students also benefit from practicing with a calculator they'll actually use on exam day, since different calculators handle scientific notation and rounding differently.
Test anxiety often peaks in chemistry because the material feels overwhelming and one mistake can cascade into wrong answers downstream. A tutor can help by building your confidence through repeated, successful practice with increasingly difficult problems—you'll see that you can handle the material when you're not panicked. They can also teach you exam-day strategies like taking deep breaths, skipping a tough question and returning to it later, and reminding yourself that you don't need a perfect score (a 3 or 4 is a solid pass). Practicing full-length exams under timed conditions desensitizes you to the pressure.
Score improvement depends on where you're starting and how much you engage with tutoring. Students scoring in the 1-2 range often jump to a 3-4 with focused tutoring on core concepts and exam strategy, since they're missing fundamental understanding. Students already scoring a 3-4 may improve to a 4-5, but it requires mastering subtle conceptual distinctions and perfecting free response explanations. Realistic improvement typically takes 8-12 weeks of consistent practice and tutoring sessions, with the most gains coming from students who actively work on practice problems between sessions rather than relying solely on tutoring time.
