I’m Michael, and I’m completing my B.S. in Chemistry at Indiana University (expected Spring 2026). I tutor Mathematics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, and Electrochemistry. I also have experience as an undergraduate teaching instructor for college-level coursework, which trained me to explain difficult topics clearly and help students build confidence through practice and repetition.

I’m Michael, and I’m completing my B.S. in Chemistry at Indiana University (expected Spring 2026). I tutor Mathematics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, and Electrochemistry. I also have experience as an undergraduate teaching instructor for college-level coursework, which trained me to explain difficult topics clearly and help students build confidence through practice and repetition.

In my lessons, I focus on making the material feel simpler and more predictable. I start by finding the exact step where things stop making sense, then I rebuild the idea in a clear, step-by-step way and immediately apply it to problems. I emphasize strategies you can reuse on exams, like setting up equations cleanly, tracking units, spotting common patterns, and checking your work so mistakes don’t repeat. If you have a homework set, lecture notes, or a practice exam, we can work directly from that, and I can also create extra practice problems when you want more repetition.

I’ve worked with students who need foundational help as well as students aiming for top exam scores, and I adjust the pace to match your goals. My goal is that you leave each lesson knowing exactly what you learned, what to practice next, and how to improve before your next quiz or test. Feel free to message me with your course name and what chapter or topic you’re on, and I’ll tailor the first session right away.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have a B.S. in Chemistry and extensive hands-on laboratory experience. I am also an undergraduate teaching assistant in the Indiana University Chemistry Department, where I support students in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry through guided problem solving, exam review, and lab instruction. I have experience tutoring high school and college students in General Chemistry, AP Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, and I focus on clear explanations, step-by-step strategies, and building strong fundamentals. Each session is tailored to the student’s course, curriculum, and goals, with targeted practice problems and review materials.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I have a B.S. in Chemistry with extensive hands-on laboratory experience and advanced coursework in Organic Chemistry. I’m a former undergraduate teaching assistant in the Indiana University Chemistry Department, where I helped students master reaction mechanisms, synthesis strategies, and exam preparation. I focus on breaking complex topics into clear, step-by-step patterns so students understand the “why” behind reactions rather than memorizing. I tailor each session to the student’s course and professor and provide targeted practice problems to build confidence and consistency.
Physics

Physics

I’ve completed College Physics I and II and earned an A in both. I’ve also taken Physics II Lab, Materials Science, and Physical Chemistry, so I’m comfortable with both the conceptual side and the math. I explain topics in a simple, step by step way and focus on problem solving strategies, unit checks, and building intuition so you can create your own examples and handle new problems confidently.
