Chemistry requires conceptual understanding and precise calculation at the same time. Students fall behind quickly when foundational topics like moles, bonding, or gas laws aren't solid.
We use visual explanations, analogies, and step-by-step practice to build intuition. Once students see how atoms, bonds, and energy relate, the rest of chemistry starts making sense.
Our chemistry tutors are experienced educators with strong chemistry backgrounds, carefully vetted and trained to communicate complex material clearly and patiently.
We tailor each lesson to the student's course, goals, and learning style. Whether preparing for an exam or catching up from a tough semester, we build understanding from the foundation.
We've used High Performance Tutoring for two subjects, Calc and Chem, and have been very happy. The most important thing was for our son to feel confident, and that's exactly what happened. He came home saying, 'Now I get it.' Highly recommend.
We've used High Performance for two years. Victor helped my son with Chemistry, his grade went from a D to a B+, and he ended up liking the class. They've also tutored him in Algebra and for the ACT. They genuinely enjoy working with the kids, and the kids enjoy working with them!
High Performance Tutoring blends deep knowledge, genuine compassion, and serious professionalism. My son made HUGE improvements in his honors-level chemistry and math this year. More importantly, he's built more confidence academically, because they helped him see that his hard work can pay off.
My daughter needed an AP Chemistry tutor, and they paired her with a Chemical Engineering major. She came away from her session feeling like she understood much better than before, and definitely feels more confident about chemistry!
Isaac received a 27 out of 30 on his last Chemistry exam. He hadn't passed a single test all year until he started tutoring sessions with Payton. Thank you!
This group is just excellent! When my daughter fell behind in Chemistry, they helped her get back up to speed and get the highest score across all classes on the final exam. They hire only the best tutors and customize their work to your student. I'd use them again in a New York minute!
Larson was very good with Adam. It was to prepare him for his first chemistry test, and he ended up with a 94%, one of the highest grades in the class, where the average was a C-. Will definitely be meeting with him again.
This tutoring service has been life changing for our family. When we started, our son was failing chemistry. He got an 89% on his final, seriously an amazing turnaround. It's been great watching him gain confidence as he now understands the subjects instead of having his classwork wash over him.
High Performance Tutoring was the best thing we've discovered in recent years. Our son got the support he needed for AP Physics and Calculus, and it gave him the confidence to pursue engineering in college.
You guys are absolutely the best. We literally think Ingo walks on water.
Chase's grades are improving on tests, and he really likes Ingo, which is an added benefit! Great work, Ingo!
Tutoring with Ingo has been so helpful. He's helping me discover fundamentals I never learned, while showing me I know more than I thought. I appreciate how he breaks down each problem and helps me prepare for similar ones.
I am a math teacher with a BS in Mathematics, MA in Education, and working on a Master's in Mathematics. For over 10 years, I have …
