With a Chemistry degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and over eight years of tutoring experience, I specialize in transforming confusion into confidence. My passion is making even the most difficult chemistry concepts seem easy, and my students' phenomenal success speaks for itself. I provide expert-level tutoring for all high school and college general chemistry courses, as well as both semesters of organic chemistry. Drawing on my experience as a professional chemistry question-writer for Study.com, I can instantly create targeted practice problems to solidify any topic during our lessons. My goal is to help students from all starting points, whether they are struggling to pass, feeling overwhelmed by the fast pace of their class, or aiming for an A and want to sharpen their understanding.
My teaching style is straightforward, positive, and collaborative. Students feel empowered in our lessons because we work together in a supportive environment to solve problems and build lasting confidence. To ensure your success, I also provide a wealth of resources beyond our lesson time, including custom practice questions, comprehensive study notes, and practice tests to make sure you are fully prepared for exams. Our sessions are always efficient and tailored to your coursework, covering a lot of material so you feel on top of your class, not behind it.
I will meet you exactly where you are in your chemistry journey and help push you to the next level. My students' success is my greatest motivator, and I am genuinely happy when they succeed. I am here to help students of any age and skill level achieve their academic goals. Let's get started!

Chemistry

Chemistry

With 9 years of success helping students excel in high school and college chemistry, I've learned that frustration often stems from small, undetected gaps in their foundational understanding. My expertise lies in quickly pinpointing these misconceptions and creating a clear path forward. My tutoring method is built on creating a positive, collaborative environment. We will talk through every problem step-by-step, focusing on the "why" behind each calculation and concept. This process is crucial for building true problem-solving confidence and eliminating the tendency to second-guess answers. Even a minimal error can be hard to find on your own, but with proper guidance, we can correct missteps and build reliable strategies for success. Chemistry is incredibly fun when everything runs smoothly! I believe every student has the ability to succeed with the right guidance and a determined mindset. I love helping students find that "aha!" moment where the material finally clicks. My goal is to be the guide who helps you or your student master tough concepts and achieve all your academic goals.

Superb tutor with professionalism.

My daughter has stated that Kelsey has been able to help her grasp the concepts and material. Kelsey is now pre-teaching material, so that my daughter already has been exposed to the material and has background knowledge that was explicitly explained to her in a way she understands. We are thrilled with the results

Huge Improvement in Chemistry Scores Thanks to Kelsey

Kelsey has been amazing! My daughter’s chemistry score jumped from 82% to 93% after just two lessons with her, and on the next test she scored 94%. Kelsey’s approach works like magic — she encourages my daughter to take practice tests and bring specific questions, then jumps right in to explain the concepts clearly and efficiently. The combination of her teaching style and responsiveness has made a huge difference in both understanding and confidence.

An Outstanding Chemistry Tutor: Breaking Down Complex Concepts

Kelsey is an outstanding tutor! She has been a tremendous help to me through General Chemistry 101, 102, and now Organic Chemistry. Kelsey has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Even when I attend office hours with my professor, I often bring that information to Kelsey, and she is able to explain it in a way that makes everything click. Her patience, clarity, and dedication have been invaluable to my academic success as a chemistry minor. I truly appreciate her support and highly recommend her to any student seeking a knowledgeable and effective tutor.

Knowledgeable and Patient!

Kelsey was so awesome at explaining things for me to better understand. She broke down to me all of the basics first, then the proper steps into solving a problem that I can actually understand. She also took notes of our problems and sent them to me after our session that I can reference it which was great also. Very pleasant and kind!

Great first experience!

My daughter had her first tutoring lesson with Kelsey and has already seen improvement in her chemistry! We will definitely be back for more tutoring sessions and look forward to continuing our lessons with Kelsey

Wonderful Teacher!

My daughter’s first chemistry lesson with Kelsey was a success! My daughter is taking 10th grade chemistry. Kelsey was able to simply and explain the concepts clearly that they even ended the lesson early. Lol. She also provided notes to my daughter which was very helpful. Very pleased with our first lesson and will contact her for future assistance!

chemistry tutor - great for high school students!

she was patient with my daughter who was very stressed for a final! Thank you Kelsey for making yourself available last minute. You really helped her out! She was available later in the evening AND early in the morning.

Results! Results! Results!

Kelsey was an amazing chemistry tutor for my daughter! She always found time to help even with many last minute requests, and went beyond by finishing some problems after the session for my daughter to have later! She was efficient with the time they spent together and my daughter just got a 100% on her final thanks to Kelsey!!
