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!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
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.
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find atomic structure and the periodic table challenging—understanding protons, neutrons, and electrons, plus how atoms bond together, requires visualizing something invisible. Balancing chemical equations trips up many students because it combines counting atoms with symbolic notation, and they haven't yet developed the systematic thinking needed to adjust coefficients. States of matter and phase changes also confuse students who try to memorize rather than understand the energy involved. A tutor can break these down into digestible pieces, using models and analogies to make abstract concepts concrete.
Balancing equations is really about conservation of mass—the same atoms must appear on both sides. A tutor teaches you to count atoms systematically, starting with the most complex molecule, rather than guessing and checking. They'll use visual aids or even physical models to show how atoms rearrange during a reaction, so you see the 'why' behind each step. Once you understand the logic, you can balance any equation, not just the ones you've seen before.
Yes—a tutor can help you understand the scientific method and how to design experiments that actually test what you're investigating. They can explain why certain lab procedures matter (like measuring precisely or controlling variables), help you interpret results, and connect what you observe in the lab back to the chemistry concepts you're learning. This bridges the gap between theory and hands-on work, making both stronger.
Since you can't see atoms or molecules, tutors use multiple strategies: drawing Lewis dot structures and ball-and-stick models, using analogies (like comparing electron shells to orbits), and working with 3D molecular models when possible. They'll also walk you through how reactions happen step-by-step, so you can 'see' the process in your mind. Many students find that once they can visualize bonding or electron transfer, concepts like ionic and covalent bonds suddenly make sense.
Unit conversions and stoichiometry require understanding ratios and proportions—skills that don't always come naturally at this level. A tutor teaches you dimensional analysis (the 'factor-label' method), which gives you a consistent system to convert between grams, moles, liters, and other units without getting lost. They'll show you how to set up conversion factors using the mole concept, so you're not just plugging numbers in blindly. Practice with real examples builds confidence quickly.
Good chemistry tutoring teaches you to ask 'why' and 'how do we know?'—the foundation of scientific reasoning. A tutor helps you practice making predictions, testing them, and revising based on evidence. They'll ask you to explain your thinking out loud, catch misconceptions early, and guide you toward understanding cause-and-effect relationships in reactions. These habits—questioning, reasoning, and evidence-based thinking—transfer to all science classes and beyond.
Math and chemistry are connected, especially with unit conversions and stoichiometry, but a tutor can help you strengthen both simultaneously. They'll identify which math concepts you need (proportions, exponents, scientific notation) and teach them in a chemistry context, so the skills feel relevant. Many students actually find chemistry motivates them to improve their math because they see the direct application.
Look for someone who can explain 'why' chemistry works, not just tell you facts to memorize. They should be able to connect concepts to real-world examples (like how batteries use electron transfer or why salt dissolves in water), use multiple ways to explain ideas, and ask questions that help you think through problems yourself. Experience working with 7th graders specifically matters too—they understand the developmental level and common misconceptions at this age.
