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!
Three science bachelor's degrees plus a medical doctorate means Sydny has taken chemistry at every level — from introductory courses through the biochemistry and pharmacology that med school demands daily. She unpacks topics like stoichiometry and gas laws by connecting them to the biological and medical contexts where those calculations actually do something, which tends to make the abstract feel worth learning.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and electron configurations each demand a slightly different kind of thinking, and Emily switches between them fluidly thanks to her science-heavy coursework at Cornell. Her biology concentration means she often connects chemistry concepts to real biochemical contexts — why buffer systems matter, how thermodynamics drives reactions — which tends to make the material click faster for students who need more than rote formulas.
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.
Most high school Chemistry struggles come down to one thing: the periodic table is supposed to be a cheat sheet, but nobody taught students how to read it. Sharan connects trends like electronegativity and atomic radius to actual behavior in reactions, so predicting whether a bond is ionic or covalent stops being a guessing game. She's earned a 5.0 rating tutoring science subjects alongside her premed studies at Cornell.
Three science bachelor's degrees — including one specifically in chemistry — mean Sung has spent serious time with everything from electron orbitals to thermochemistry, not just at the introductory level but across multiple disciplinary angles. He digs into the "why" behind concepts like periodic trends and reaction energetics so students can reason through unfamiliar problems on exams instead of relying on memorized shortcuts. Rated 5.0 by students.
Balancing equations and stoichiometry trip up most high school chemistry students because the logic feels invisible at first. Garrett teaches the mole concept by tying it to tangible quantities — grams on a scale, liters of gas — so the math stops feeling arbitrary. His background in biology and physical chemistry also lets him show students where these reactions actually matter in living systems.
Neuroscience at Yale meant David didn't just take chemistry — he needed it to work, especially when tracing how ion channels, neurotransmitters, and cellular signaling depend on concepts like electronegativity, polarity, and equilibrium. That gives him a concrete answer when students ask why any of this matters, and it shapes how he teaches topics like chemical bonding and reaction energetics: rooted in what molecules actually do, not just what shows up on a worksheet.
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.
Balancing equations, understanding molarity, and predicting reaction products are all things Lisa does routinely in her marine biogeochemistry lab at Stony Brook. She approaches high school chemistry by grounding each new topic in a concrete example so students see the logic behind the math, especially in tricky areas like equilibrium and acid-base chemistry.
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.
Stoichiometry and equilibrium take on a different dimension when your tutor uses them every day — Michelle's biochemistry degree from Rice and her current medical coursework at Baylor mean she's constantly translating between chemical equations on paper and what's actually happening at the molecular level. She teaches gas laws and reaction energetics by anchoring the math to the biological chemistry she's immersed in, which gives students a concrete handle on topics that otherwise feel purely abstract.
Stoichiometry and gas laws tend to feel like arbitrary math until someone connects them back to what's actually happening at the molecular level — and Nishad's pre-med training means he's spent years building that connection across chemistry, biology, and anatomy courses. He teaches students to trace the logic from balanced equations through to mole ratios and limiting reagents, so the calculations follow naturally from understanding rather than formula memorization.
