What a Chemistry Session Looks Like

We have tutored 270+ chemistry students, from high school chemistry and AP or IB Chemistry to college General Chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I.

Chemistry builds on itself, so a shaky unit on moles or bonding makes everything after it harder. A tutor finds the weak spot, rebuilds it, and keeps your student current with their own homework, labs, and test review. Sessions are 1-on-1 and online from anywhere, and the tutor writes feedback after every session.

Online chemistry tutoring anywhere in the U.S., plus in person in San Diego, the Bay Area, Denver, and Salt Lake City.

Rates from $60/hour. See pricing details →

AP Chemistry tutors →

General Chemistry I and II

Problem sets, lab reports, and exam review for college students, scheduled around a course load.

Organic Chemistry I

Mechanisms, nomenclature, and spectroscopy, broken into patterns instead of a wall of memorization.

Why Us

Why Choose Our Chemistry Tutors

Connect the Math to the Chemistry

We connect chemistry concepts with the calculations students need, including moles, unit conversions, and gas laws.

See How the Concepts Fit Together

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.

Feedback After Every Session

After each session, your tutor writes feedback on what you covered and what to work on next.

Built Around Your Course

We tailor each lesson to the student's course and goals, whether preparing for an exam or catching up after a tough semester.

How online chemistry sessions work

  • Live on Zoom, one tutor with one student, camera on.
  • Shared whiteboard for working problems and diagrams together in real time.
  • Bring the homework: share the screen to go over assignments or practice tests.
  • Notes and feedback: students keep the notes, and the tutor writes feedback after every session.

All you need is a computer or tablet with a camera. How online tutoring works →

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!

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.

A Parent's Question

“How do you match my student with the right tutor?”

Tell us the subject and level, and we'll show you tutors matched to it, with their profiles and reviews. You choose the tutor and the time, and your first hour is free. Prefer a recommendation? Call us and we'll suggest a great fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Tutor and student share a live whiteboard for drawing structures and working problems step by step, and your student can share worksheets, lab data, or practice tests. Online sessions work anywhere in the U.S.

Yes. Along with high school, AP, and IB Chemistry, we tutor college students in General Chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I, working from their own problem sets and exams.

Sooner is easier. Chemistry units build on each other, so a gap in moles or stoichiometry spreads into later units. If quizzes start slipping or homework takes far longer than it should, a few sessions early can prevent a much bigger catch-up later.

Your tutor starts by pinpointing exactly where you're getting stuck, then builds a personalized plan to close those gaps and build real understanding, not just homework answers. Every session is one-on-one and tailored to how you learn.

Yes. Our chemistry tutors cover the full range, from first-year high school chemistry and Honors Chemistry through AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry, and college general and organic chemistry. Tell us the course and textbook you're using and we'll match a tutor who knows it.

Absolutely. Those are some of the most common things students come to us for, along with molar conversions, limiting reactants, gas laws, acid-base and equilibrium problems, and writing up labs. Your tutor works through your actual assignments so the help transfers straight to your class.

Most students feel more confident within the first few sessions once the core ideas click, though how fast grades move depends on the student and how much they practice between sessions. Your tutor starts by pinpointing the exact gaps and builds a plan around your next test.
