Chemistry Tutoring – Portland & Seattle

Chemistry is more than test tubes, beakers, and mixing substances together to see what happens. It’s one of the natural sciences that studies the properties of a substance, how it changes, and the natural laws that explain the changes. It requires skills in math, statistics, and logical reasoning, all areas a tutor can help you strengthen.

What Are the Benefits of Chemistry Tutoring?

Though chemistry is a distinct subject, it requires a solid foundation in other sciences (like physics) and math. Without this foundation, understanding what’s happening and why can make it difficult to succeed in the class. Whether your student is weak in the foundational skills or has trouble bringing everything together, a tutor can help them make sense of the material.

Prepare for the Future

Even if your student doesn’t plan on pursuing a career in chemistry, many college majors require chemistry as a prerequisite. Pre-med, pharmacy, engineering, and even zoology require at least one chemistry class to graduate.

Build Confidence

Chemistry requires a mix of foundational skills, and lacking in one or several could mean a student struggles with the class, leading them to doubt their abilities. Working with a tutor will help them understand the concepts and build their confidence that they can do chemistry or any kind of science.

Boost Performance

Building skills and confidence can also improve your student’s academic performance across the board. The tips and tricks they learn for mastering chemistry can be applied to other classes and used on standardized tests, like the SAT and ACT.
