About

Hello! The following sessions are designed to help students strengthen their knowledge concerning topics presented in AP Chemistry (e.g. structure of atoms and compounds, reactions, and calculations concerning specific reactions (***equilibrium and acids and bases especially!)) and allow them to prosper in the following school year. We will be meeting four times a week and for approximately 2 hours (3 hours if necessary). The first couple of sessions may be shorter. While I will openly address that the following sessions do not cover certain things about AP Chemistry (e.g. concepts that would be better learned in person at a lab such as Beer's law), they are meant to hopefully allow you to learn and/or further develop skills that may or may have not been obtained in a prior chemistry class. I hope to look forward to learning with you this summer, thank you. 👍

There will be no session on Monday, July 28.

Hello! I am currently a junior high school student from Florida who is eager to assist students from any background to excel in their academic endeavors. Using mathematical skills that I have developed via my own experiences and challenges with particular courses, I aim to pass on abilities that facilitate the learning process of math as a whole as well as one's efficiency doing problems. Alternative to math, I do take interest in physics and have background in chemistry. I also take interest in running and playing soccer. I hope I can help others with any struggles they have and be able to study for my SAT/ACT that is coming up!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please make sure to message me on schoolhouse in advance if you cannot make it to a session. I will try to send you which information was covered and I or another tutor on the chemistry subworld (you can ask for help on multiple topics) should be able to assist you. Otherwise, try not to miss more than 2 sessions or you may be lost concerning the content being presented.

Exceptions: If the session is a review, you are not required to come but you might want to if you have any questions or want to practice with us. Thank you👌.
