Jeffrey

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

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!

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Engineering students often find thermodynamics and chemical kinetics particularly challenging because they require connecting abstract molecular behavior to real-world energy and reaction rate problems. Balancing redox reactions, understanding equilibrium constants in industrial contexts, and applying stoichiometry to material science calculations are also common pain points. Many students struggle less with memorizing facts and more with visualizing how molecular-level chemistry determines material properties—like why certain alloys behave differently or how pH affects corrosion in pipes and structures.

A tutor experienced in Chemistry for Engineers bridges the gap between pure chemistry theory and practical engineering by showing how concepts apply to materials selection, corrosion prevention, battery design, and chemical processing. For example, instead of just learning Le Chatelier's principle abstractly, a tutor might explain how shifting equilibrium conditions optimizes industrial synthesis of ammonia or how temperature control affects concrete curing. This application-focused approach helps students understand why they're learning the chemistry and builds intuition for solving design problems they'll encounter in their major courses.

Tutors can help you develop stronger lab technique, understand the chemistry behind each experimental step, and improve your ability to interpret results and troubleshoot when experiments don't go as planned. Beyond procedure, a tutor can help you think like an engineer—designing experiments to test specific hypotheses, controlling variables properly, and connecting your observations to underlying chemical principles. This is especially valuable for students who struggle with the scientific reasoning required to move beyond "following the recipe" to actually understanding what's happening at the molecular level.

In engineering, a unit conversion error can lead to catastrophic failures—mixing the wrong proportions of reactants in a synthesis, miscalculating pressure in a reactor, or getting material composition wrong. Chemistry for Engineers demands precision with molar calculations, mass-to-mole conversions, and scaling reactions from lab to industrial scale. A tutor can help you develop systematic approaches to dimensional analysis and stoichiometry so these conversions become automatic, reducing errors and building confidence when tackling complex multi-step problems involving reactants, products, and limiting reagents.

Many students find molecular visualization challenging because it requires thinking in three dimensions while understanding how electron behavior drives material properties. Tutors can use molecular models, interactive simulations, and drawing techniques to help you visualize bonding geometry, orbital overlap, and how structure determines properties like conductivity or melting point. Connecting these visualizations to real materials you've seen—semiconductors, polymers, metals—makes the concepts stick and helps you predict how changes in molecular structure will affect engineering performance.

Engineering chemistry problems often involve multiple steps: identifying what chemistry principle applies, setting up the correct equation, converting units properly, and interpreting whether your answer makes physical sense. Tutors help you build a systematic approach—starting with drawing out what you know, identifying what type of problem it is (equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics), and checking your work against real-world constraints. Developing these strategies early prevents the common pattern of getting lost halfway through complex problems and helps you tackle unfamiliar problem types with confidence.

Look for a tutor with strong chemistry fundamentals who also understands engineering applications and can explain why engineers care about specific concepts. Ideally, they've taken or taught Chemistry for Engineers specifically, not just general chemistry, and can speak to how chemistry connects to materials science, thermodynamics, and chemical engineering. Experience helping students move from memorization to deep conceptual understanding—and comfort with both theoretical explanations and practical problem-solving—is essential for making the subject click.

Chemistry for Engineers exams typically go beyond simple recall and test your ability to apply concepts to novel engineering scenarios—like predicting material behavior under specific conditions or optimizing reaction conditions. A tutor helps you practice this type of reasoning by working through problems that require you to identify which principles apply, set up the chemistry correctly, and interpret results in an engineering context. Regular practice with increasingly complex, application-focused problems builds the problem-solving flexibility you need to handle exam questions you've never seen before.
