Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors
serving Kennewick, WA

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I recently graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a minor in Biology, earning a 3.9 GPA. With three years of research experience and a strong background in chemistry, biology, physics, math, and engineering, I am eager to tutor STEM subjects from middle school through college levels. I look forward to simplifying challenging concepts, fostering a supportive learning environment, and helping students build confidence. I am committed to helping students find excitement in STEM.

Balancing equations, understanding mole ratios, and predicting reaction products all require a kind of structured problem-solving that Helen uses daily in her biomedical engineering studies at Johns Hopkins. She breaks down tricky topics like stoichiometry and periodic trends by linking them to patterns rather than asking students to memorize isolated rules. Rated 4.8 by students.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

I am a Masters student in Physics at the University of Washington and have over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. Most recently, I worked as a teacher at the Yellow Wood Academy, a private high school that offers students a specialized one-on-one classroom environment. At YWA, I taught all high school science classes (including AP, Computer Programming, and Environmental Science) and all levels of high school math. In addition to my teaching and tutoring duties, I designed individualized lesson plans, curricula, homework assignments, and tests. Subjects I have successfully tutored Physics: all levels Chemistry: all levels high school, plus P-Chem, O-Chem Biology: all levels high school Math: all levels high school, plus Differential Equations, Statistics, some Group Theory. Standardized test preparation (incl. SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT) Need help in another area? Just ask! While math and science are the subjects I am most passionate about, I am well-versed in many academic areas, and I may be able to help you.

I am an undergraduate earning my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington. I have already earned my Associate's of Arts with honors through the running start program, and graduated high school as a Valedictorian. I have worked with Disability Resource Services in taking notes for students, and have also offered assistance with homework to other students. As an engineering student, I am able to use my experience to offer assistance with math. I am also able to tutor in chemistry since I have already completed the general chemistry series. I believe that education is extremely important in life, not only for the purpose of knowledge, but also for the determination and ambition that learning teaches us. Understanding concepts not only takes time, but also dedication. As a student who has also attended many tutoring hours, I have come to understand that concepts sometimes require different approaches to finally have that idea click.

Helping students in their education is my passion. I understand how frustrating it is to keep trying on understanding a concept or master a skill without getting a satisfying result. I aim to help students enjoy learning and acquiring knowledge. Always remember that knowledge is power, and nobody can take it from you. I have sufficient tutoring and teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary settings. I worked as a tutor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I tutored college students different courses in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology. Also, l worked as a graduate teaching assistant at Marquette University. I taught the laboratory part of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry. Furthermore, l worked as a science teacher at different secondary schools. I taught science for grades 4,5,6, and 8. Also, l taught chemistry for grade 9. When it comes to my education, l have a bachelor degree in biology healthcare science and chemistry biomolecular science (double major). In addition, l have a master's degree in chemistry. I received my undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and my graduate education at Marquette University. I tutor for numerous subjects such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, human anatomy, developmental biology, ecology, and biochemistry. Also, l tutor for the GRE, DAT, TOEFL, and IELTS. My favorite subjects are the math, physics, biology, and chemistry subjects because l, simply, enjoy these fields. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style are based on practicing with various examples. When you are confronted with numerous problems to solve, you become more confident in that subject area. As a result, better performance in quizzes and exams. Outside of academia, learning about other cultures and countries around the world is my interest.

Currently, I am a Research Technician at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. I have tutored as an undergraduate student, and I have been the lead TA for General Chemistry courses at UC Berkeley. Chemistry is one of my passions, and I would love to share my experience!

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.

Chemistry clicks when students see the logic underneath the formulas — why electron configurations predict reactivity, or how stoichiometry is really just bookkeeping for atoms. Dennis earned his Masters in Chemical and Physical Biology at Vanderbilt, so he teaches concepts like equilibrium, thermodynamics, and bonding from a place of deep daily familiarity rather than rote textbook review. Rated 5.0 by students.

When mole conversions and electron configurations feel like two completely unrelated subjects crammed into one class, that's usually a sign the underlying logic hasn't clicked yet. Aidan ties high school chemistry concepts together by starting from atomic structure and building outward — showing why periodic trends predict reactivity, how bonding explains molecular shape, and where the math fits in. His premed coursework at Notre Dame covered this material in depth.

Pre-dental coursework at Vanderbilt took Sarah through the full general chemistry sequence, so topics like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and gas laws are tools she still uses regularly in her science track — not material she's recalling from years ago. She zeroes in on dimensional analysis and mole relationships as the backbone of most high school chemistry problems, teaching students to map out the logic of a calculation before touching a calculator. Rated 5.0 by students.

Balancing equations, mole conversions, and electron configurations all follow patterns that become obvious once someone lays them out clearly. Tim's experience teaching chemistry at a STEM camp means he's practiced at breaking these topics down for students encountering them for the first time. His quantitative training at MIT keeps him sharp on the math-heavy units — gas laws, enthalpy, and solution chemistry — where many high schoolers hit a wall.

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.

Balancing redox reactions, predicting molecular geometry, and navigating stoichiometry all require a different kind of thinking than most students have used before. Lauren minors in chemistry at Duke and uses that depth to explain *why* electron configurations drive periodic trends or *why* a reaction favors products — not just how to get the right answer on a worksheet. She's rated 4.8 across her subjects.

Stoichiometry and electron configurations tend to pile up fast in high school chemistry, and students who fall behind on one unit often struggle to catch up in the next. Paula's approach is to anchor each new concept — whether it's Lewis structures or acid-base equilibria — to the periodic table trends that tie the whole course together. She teaches the logic underneath the formulas so students aren't just memorizing steps.

When electron configurations and periodic trends start piling up alongside acid-base equilibria and redox reactions, high school chemistry can feel like two different courses crammed into one. Caroline tackles both sides — the conceptual and the computational — using her engineering mindset to show students how dimensional analysis and logical problem setup make even the trickiest stoichiometry problems approachable.

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. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most high school chemistry students hit a wall somewhere around mole conversions or balancing redox reactions — the point where the subject stops feeling like science and starts feeling like math. Jessica approaches those sticking points by explaining the underlying logic first, then layering on the calculations. Her background in medicine keeps her grounded in why this chemistry actually matters.

Cognitive studies at Vanderbilt might not scream chemistry, but Vy's science coursework and her 35 ACT mean she's no stranger to reasoning through problems involving moles, gas laws, or balancing equations. She's especially effective at teaching students how to read what a chemistry problem is really asking — a skill she honed tutoring algebra and science in under-resourced schools where clear, patient explanation wasn't optional.
