Amira
Certified Science Tutor
I know I can give any student the tools and help they need to do well in chemistry. I have a master's degree in biomedical sciences from Georgetown University and tutor students in grades 9 through college. As a freshman in college, I struggled with general chemistry. I worked hard to create my own methods that involved breaking down big concepts into building blocks and problems into a step-by-step format that helped me better visualize how information connected to create solutions. Now, I believe in using a similar step-by-step approach in my chemistry tutoring sessions.

I have a lot of experience tutoring chemistry, and my style depends greatly on practice problems. Whether I'm helping students with biochemistry or organic and inorganic chemistry, I try to use several examples when explaining difficult subjects to students. After reviewing the content, I find it extremely important for the student to do practice problems to really hammer in the idea and make sure they are prepared to tackle problems on their own.
I can help a student not only understand complicated chemistry ideas in a way that is easy to understand, but also learn to enjoy the subject and gain confidence. There isn't a single model of tutoring style that applies to all students. Empathy, enthusiasm, patience, great communication, and extensive experience and knowledge of chemistry are required. I like to explain many things with pictures, funny stories, and art because a talking head and chemistry will put most students to sleep.

Chemistry is arguably the most exciting of the science subjects. In its broadest sense, it is the study of matter and the transformations it goes through. One of the best things about physics is that everything that is learned can be applied to real-life instances. Some everyday things that can be explained by chemistry are gas laws, light, acids, and bases. However, things can get more challenging when it comes to experiments that probe the theoretical science underlying chemistry. Although they can be a lot of fun, students may face difficulties along the way. Working with an online tutor is a great way to overcome any struggles with chemistry that you might be facing.
How students can benefit from working with Learner:
Here are some of the many ways that students can benefit from Learner chemistry tutoring:
A notoriously challenging subject
You are not alone if chemistry is a challenge for you. Some institutions say this science major’s exams are rather arduous to study for. Online chemistry tutors can help students get back on track, work ahead of their class schedule, review previous tests, and go over missed questions with feedback. With this dedicated extra time, tutors can create an exciting and interesting learning environment where students take more interest in the course itself, which can lead to a greater understanding of the subject matter while in class.
Provide plenty of practice opportunities
Classroom chemistry lessons mainly involve learning new concepts, while studying tends to happen at home. The main flaw in this system is that when students practice novel concepts on their own, they need a guide or teacher to tell them whether they are on the right track. Receiving immediate 1-on-1 feedback is immensely helpful for boosting your chemistry comprehension.
With insufficient time in class to cover every aspect of every topic or problem, receiving additional guided studying can go a long way.
Makes content relatable and interesting
When a teacher gives a lecture, they usually talk to 20 or more students at once. A tutor, on the other hand, focuses on one student, which gives them a lot of room to customize how they teach chemistry. A good tutor builds a personal relationship with their students and learns what type of real-world connections will truly get through to them. When students understand real-world connections to the concepts they are studying, they tend to take a greater interest in the subject matter.
What should I look for in an online chemistry tutor?
It's important to look at both quantitative and qualitative data when searching for the best chemistry tutors online. Firstly, for a tutor to be worth your time, they need to have the relevant credentials. Make sure that any tutor you hire has an advanced degree, enough knowledge of chemistry at the right grade level (like AP Physics or middle school physics), and several years of experience teaching that subject. You will also want to make sure that the tutor has important qualities for a teacher, such as patience, enthusiasm, flexibility, and good communication. Although it can be hard to tell from a tutor's resume what kind of person they are, you can get this information from customer reviews, an information session, or a phone call with the candidate.
Chelsea from Learner helped me to get a full ride to Duke University.
“Chelsea from Learner was the perfect match for me. She customized the training so that it would push me hard - but not too hard where I would get frustrated. I worked with Chelsea for years because she took a genuine interest in me and my future.”
"Stephanie taught me how to be more organized. I was getting Bs and Cs before I started working with her. I used to get overwhelmed before studying for a test. Stephanie taught me how to create “study guides” so I’d have all the big ideas in one place. I am now getting As and Bs and my parents are much happier."
"When I first started working with Alan, I told him I would never be good at math. I barely passed my first two years of high school math and I needed one more hard math class to graduate. Alan believed in me and worked with me on the basics. Little by little, he built up my confidence to the point where I realized I am good at math and I did well in the class."

What should you look for in a private SAT tutor?
Experience teaching standardized test prep and an advanced degree are not the only factors that define a good tutor. A tutor’s personality traits and characteristics greatly impact the quality of the tutoring experience and the ability of students to learn and achieve their goals.
Patient
Every student learns at their own pace, and some students may need more time to grasp certain concepts than others. Whether a student is struggling to decipher a reading passage or solve a math problem, it’s important for tutors to never show signs of annoyance and frustration, as this will only further discourage and demotivate the student.
Motivated
There will be moments when students “hit a wall” when studying for the SAT. Maybe it’s when they repeatedly fail to finish a certain section in time, or their practice test scores are still low after extensive effort. In these cases, students need a tutor capable of pushing and motivating them to work through temporary challenges. The more invested a tutor is in a student’s success, the more motivated the student will feel.
Adaptable
Helping students prepare for the SAT is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every student will have varying levels of familiarity with each section and different challenges that they face when taking the test. A private tutor must be able to tailor their SAT curriculum to a particular student’s needs by factoring in their learning style, strengths, weaknesses, and personality.
Enthusiastic
Let’s face it, “SAT prep” doesn’t excite students. For many students, studying for the SAT is a stressful and grueling experience, so it falls upon private tutors to help make this experience more enjoyable for their students. The more fun an SAT tutor makes each lesson, the more engaged students will be. The more engaged students are, the more likely they are to understand and retain critical information for the test.
Communicative
Studying for the SAT has its ups and downs, and students will experience moments of triumph and frustrating setbacks along the way. One of the primary responsibilities of tutors is to frequently communicate with students (and their parents) about progress and expectations. Knowing the areas in which they need to improve means students are always working toward small goals. Meanwhile, being updated about their child’s progress allows parents to intervene or contribute when necessary.
Empathetic
For many students, studying for the SAT can be mentally and emotionally challenging. And, even when sufficiently prepared, the test can be stressful and anxiety-inducing, causing self-doubt and low self-esteem in students. Because there may be times when a student’s emotional barriers impede their progress, tutors must be able to meet their students where they are and help them work through any issues related to self-confidence.
Humble
Struggling with the SAT sometimes embarrasses students, especially if it feels like they are alone in that challenge. Humility in a tutor helps create a safe learning environment for students to admit when they need help and ask as many questions as needed.
Ambitious
Confidence goes a long way toward helping students excel on the SAT. The more ambitious a tutor is in supporting their student’s goals, the more likely a student is to dream big. The best tutors will push students outside of their comfort zones so they can reach their full potential.
Top benefits of working with a private SAT tutor
Studies show that students who work with a private tutor can improve their SAT scores by 120-180 points, on average. Here are some of the many advantages that make this improvement happen:
Boost confidence
Confidence is one of the key components of academic performance. Studies show that the more confident students are, the more likely they are to search for new solutions on exams and persevere through difficult test questions. Unlike independent study, private tutoring gives students the positive reinforcement they need to develop confidence in their abilities.
Learn test-taking strategies
There will be moments when students “hit a wall” when studying for the SAT. Maybe it’s when they repeatedly fail to finish a certain section in time, or their practice test scores are still low after extensive effort. In these cases, students need a tutor capable of pushing and motivating them to work through temporary challenges. The more invested a tutor is in a student’s success, the more motivated the student will feel.
Matching a student’s pace
Helping students prepare for the SAT is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every student will have varying levels of familiarity with each section and different challenges that they face when taking the test. A private tutor must be able to tailor their SAT curriculum to a particular student’s needs by factoring in their learning style, strengths, weaknesses, and personality.
Increased accountability
Preparing for the SAT involves considerable independent work and self-study. Because of this, studying for a test like the SAT intimidates many students, causing them to procrastinate and leaving them unprepared for test day. An SAT tutor holds students accountable for their study schedules and gives them manageable assignments to tackle on a weekly basis.
Additional resources
Traditionally, students rely on textbooks and study materials to help them prepare for the SAT. One of the benefits of working with a private tutor, however, is their access to additional materials, including practice tests, that students can take advantage of during and after their lessons at no additional cost.
How to find the right online SAT tutor?
When searching for the best SAT tutors online, it’s essential to consider what kind of tutor will best serve your child’s needs. In pursuit of this, look for tutors with personalities and experience compatible with your priorities. Once you select a handful of tutoring candidates with impressive backgrounds, respectable degrees, and sufficient teaching experience (ideally teaching SAT prep), you can focus on finding an expert among them who aligns with your child’s best interests.
Sometimes, an SAT tutor might have an impressive track record, but their tutoring approach doesn’t cater to your student’s unique learning needs or goals. Even so, it’s often difficult to gather this information from a tutoring profile or resume, so don’t be afraid to ask candidates to hop on a short phone call with you. When you do, consider asking candidates to walk you through one of their typical SAT prep sessions. That way, you can gauge whether their style fits with your child’s needs. If your child has a specific learning style or any learning disabilities, ask your tutoring candidates how they will consider these factors in their lesson plans.
Finally, the right tutor needs to provide rates that fit within your budget. As you research potential candidates, consider how much you can afford to spend on a tutor each month and how long your child will need SAT tutoring. Remember that more expensive, higher-quality tutoring can be more affordable in the long run if the student requires fewer total hours to achieve results.
