About this tutoring

Chemistry help that starts with the step that is not clicking

Chemistry is often the first class where math and science meet, and students can fall behind quickly. A student who is comfortable with the vocabulary may still freeze on a stoichiometry problem, or understand the lecture but lose points on unit conversions and significant figures. In our lessons we find the exact step that breaks down, rebuild it clearly, and practice it until your student can solve problems on their own.

I studied Biology at UT Austin, where chemistry was a core part of my coursework, and I tutor chemistry for students at Dallas private and public schools. Lessons follow your student’s class, so we work on the unit they are in now and prepare for the next quiz or test.

I grew up in Dallas, graduated from Highland Park High School, and earned my Biology degree with an Economics minor from the University of Texas at Austin. I started tutoring in college when classmates asked for help before exams, and I have tutored full-time since graduating, working with hundreds of students across the Dallas area and online.

Families

What families say

I am a senior in high school struggling with Chemistry. Sam has helped me a lot by explaining topics in ways I can understand and helps me work through my assignment questions. This is my first time hiring a tutor and I am very satisfied with the experience.

The method

How chemistry lessons work

We start by looking at recent tests, homework, and teacher feedback to see where points are being lost. From there I build a plan around upcoming quizzes and unit tests. In each lesson we break down the concept, work examples together, and then your student works problems independently while I watch for errors in setup, units, and algebra.

For AP Chemistry, we also practice explaining answers in writing, since free-response questions reward clear reasoning as much as the final number. Before a test, we review the problem types the teacher tends to use.
