Struggling with AP Chemistry? Here’s how I can help.
🚀 Learn concepts 3x faster
I will teach you the concepts in simple straight-to-the-point language. There is no fluff. You’ll learn 3x faster compared to working with other tutors and you’ll be shocked at how much you’ll learn in just one session.
💬 Customized explanations to fit your learning style.
I will explain concepts in multiple ways to figure out your learning style, then I gear all my future explanations to fit your specific learning style. This is to ensure that you deeply understand the material and understand the “why” behind the concepts.
🧪 Access to High Yield AP Chemistry Resources
The best way to prepare for exams in AP Chemistry is to do AP-style questions. Teachers often assign textbook questions that are completely different and then test their students with previous AP exam questions. I have over 10 years worth of AP-style problems from previous exams. When you meet at least 1x/week with me, you’ll access to all my AP Chemistry resources.
❓Follow-up emails
This is extremely rare, but if there are any questions I can’t instantly answer during our tutoring session, I will send you a follow-up email with a detailed explanation of that question. This guarantees that you’ll get all your confusion clarified.
🎯 Personalized tutoring to attack your struggles
I pinpoint your area of struggle, whether that is comprehension, application, test anxiety, or seeing a problem and having no idea which concept to use. Then I work with you to fix your specific struggle areas, with ultimate goal of improving your grades.
💡Systematized problem solving mastery
Instead of just focusing on memorize procedures, I will teach you a systematic way to deconstruct AP Chemistry problems so you have a process for figuring out how to solve any problems, even ones you’ve seen before.
✏️ Step-by-step assistance on homework
I will lay out all the steps in an easy-to-follow format so that you can breeze through the homework while understanding it so well that you can explain the material to a friend in need.
🔥 Engaging and dynamic tutoring sessions
My tutoring sessions are highly interactive, designed to fully engage you in the learning process. Students often find themselves deeply immersed, reaching a state of ‘flow’ where they are actively participating and absorbing information effortlessly.
🧠 Learn how to study smart
I will teach you a study system that allows you to get better grades while studying less. I used the same system to get a 3.93 GPA at UC Berkeley while only studying for 2 hours a day
What Makes Tutoring with Michael Different
Specialized AP Chemistry Tutoring
Unlike other tutors who teach every subject imaginable, I ONLY tutor chemistry. In fact, I’ve tutored hundreds of students in AP Chemistry since 2011. What this means for you is that you’ll have access to inside knowledge of AP Chemistry. I’ll give you a clear roadmap of what you need to do to succeed and share exactly what teachers tend to test on. I’ll explain concepts in multiple ways until you “get it” and make sure you’re not missing anything. You can be confident that I will be able to answer any questions you ask. I have helped students with problems ranging from those who were so far behind they didn’t know where to start to those who just couldn’t make the jump for a B to an A. And I can help you reach your goal, whatever they may be.
Guidance beyond tutoring
I don’t focus solely on comprehension of the class material. Acing AP Chemistry involves more than just understanding the material. Sure comprehension is important, but if you can’t apply the material, then your grade will suffer. If you can’t deconstruct a problem, and figure out which concept to use, your grade will plummet. If you can’t select the right answer among answers that all sound somewhat correct, your grade will drop. I help you improve on all these areas so that when the exam comes around, you’ll be ready to rock it. You’ll also how to study for AP Chemistry most efficiently, how to manage your time, and how to optimize your performance on exams.
ACCESS TO THE BEST RESOURCES
You’ll get access to the best AP Chemistry resources with the highest yield. There are the resources that I’ve collected working with hundreds of AP Chemistry students since 2011. Every time a student shares an excellent worksheet, study guide, or practice exam, I’ve saved them and added the files to a resource vault. In total, the vault contains over 1000 AP level practice problems and many many exams. Students have told me that some of the problems showed up on their class exams since a lot of teachers tend to use the same resources. When you work with me, you’ll have access to my treasure trove of AP Chemistry resources. Think about how much of an advantage you’ll have over other students who don’t have this resource.

What if You Go With a Less Skilled Tutor?
Instead of the benefits and results you see above, you might experience
❌ Slow Progress – You will probably only complete a portion of your homework and assignments. If you’re assigned more challenging problems, you may only complete 3 or 4 of these questions in an hour. You will feel like you’re barely making any progress and that you’re wasting your time.
❌ Frustration – The tutor may have difficulty answering your questions clearly. They may have trouble explaining their reasoning and you won’t understand the material enough to be able to solve the problem on your own, let alone explain it to a friend. The tutor may not even know the answer to that question and give you an incorrect answer that will lower your grade. You become more and more frustrated with the class and you leave the session feeling worse about AP Chemistry.
❌ Doubt – You may hear conflicting answers from your tutor. You may ask “Wait… you said I should do this with a previous similar problem. Now we’re doing this problem entirely differently.” Even worse, the tutor may give you a completely incorrect answer. Then when you see you got it incorrect, you start to doubt everything that you’ve learned from the tutor.
❌ More Confusion – Because the tutor is not skilled at giving crystal clear explanation while explaining the reasoning behind the problems, you’re left feeling even more confused after the session. You wasted an hour. You didn’t finish your homework. Or maybe you did finish your homework but you have no idea what the tutor was talking about.
❌ False Sense of Confidence – Maybe you are lucky enough to find a tutor who understands chemistry well enough to help your with your homework. But they don’t really know AP Chemistry. They may teach you material you don’t need to know. Most likely, they will just help you with your assignments but won’t help you adequately prepare for your exams. You’ll feel confident with your homework problems and then be completely surprised by your exam questions which consist of AP style questions. These are questions you’ve never seen before and you have no idea how to approach them. Or perhaps, your tutor didn’t properly assess your understand and ensure that you’ve grasped all the core skills. Your less skilled tutor gave you a false sense of confidence and your grade plummets.
❌ Disappointment – You’re meeting with your tutor at least once per week, maybe even multiple times a week, and you’re studying hard, but you don’t get the results you want. Your grade does not reflect the effort you’re putting in.
Avoid the negative emotions, stress, and headaches. Get it right from the start and meet with Michael.
