Chemistry Tutor | Making Chemistry Easier

Mehrad A.

I am a pre-veterinary student with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine. I graduated with a 3.92 cumulative GPA and a 3.87 science GPA, completing extensive coursework in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and upper-division biology. Through my academic training, I developed a strong understanding of chemical principles, reaction mechanisms, quantitative problem-solving, and how chemistry connects to biological and real-world systems. My background allows me to tutor college-level chemistry with both conceptual depth and practical clarity.

My experience with teaching comes primarily from one-on-one academic support and peer tutoring throughout college. I frequently helped classmates and friends with general chemistry and organic chemistry, especially those who felt overwhelmed or discouraged by the subject. These sessions focused on breaking problems down step by step, identifying patterns in exam questions, and strengthening foundational concepts rather than relying on memorization. I have worked mainly with high school and college-aged students in individual settings, adapting my explanations based on each student’s learning style and pace.

As a tutor, my approach is patient, structured, and student-centered. I focus on making chemistry less intimidating by explaining the “why” behind each concept and using clear visuals, analogies, and guided practice. I aim to build both understanding and confidence so students can approach exams and assignments independently. My goal is to make chemistry more accessible for students who struggle with it and help them feel capable of succeeding in the course.
