Series Details

About

Have you ever wanted to learn chemistry but don't know the basics? Well, this series is for you. We will start from the very foundational skills of chemistry and scaffold our way up to more complex topics. Note: This series is geared to people who have no to very little chemistry knowledge.

Tutor Qualifications

I have taken high school chemistry, general chemistry 1 and 2 both with lab, organic chemistry 1 and 2, and organic chemistry lab. I also was a part of a biochemistry research lab for 1.5 years and will be taking another biochemistry lab class this summer.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please attend every session as they build on themselves. If you miss more than two sessions without telling me, you will be withdrawn from the series.

About the Tutor

I am an undergraduate double majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology and Zoology. I am also minoring in Business. I speak 3 languages which are English, German, and Turkish. As a tutor, I am very passionate about helping students reach their full potential in school. I tutor biology, chemistry, writing, German, Turkish, and a variety of AP classes to help students prep for their exams. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing D&D, and watching movies/TV shows.

Session 6

Other Topics

Intro to dimensional analysis. Notice: This is our first "hard" topic in chemistry. It is fundamental for stoichiometry which is an essential part of chemistry. This is a session you don't want to miss!
