About Kelsey

Bio

I have a degree in Chemistry from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have been working as a chemistry tutor for 8+ years and I am an expert in all general chemistry classes at the high school and college level. I can help with the first semester of organic chemistry as well! Students like working with me because I am easy to understand and we can cover a lot of material during our lessons. I understand the fast pace of chemistry classes and will work just as hard to go over everything that’s being covered...

I have a degree in Chemistry from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have been working as a chemistry tutor for 8+ years and I am an expert in all general chemistry classes at the high school and college level. I can help with the first semester of organic chemistry as well! Students like working with me because I am easy to understand and we can cover a lot of material during our lessons. I understand the fast pace of chemistry classes and will work just as hard to go over everything that’s being covered in the class. I have experience working as a chemistry-question writer for study.com and will be able to easily write questions on the spot to help with any chemistry topics. After I received my bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from UNC Chapel Hill, my passion for the subject has never faltered and I have been tutoring chemistry over the last 8 years with great success shown in my student’s scores. Whether you are failing chemistry or just looking for extra guidance, my student’s love my straight-forward teaching style and my ability to make very difficult concepts seem easy. Students feel empowered when working with me on chemistry problems. I create a very positive teaching environment while tutoring and like to hear the student’s input on what we are working on to solve problems together. I will help to push students to the next level but I will first meet them wherever they are in their chemistry journey first. The feedback I receive from my students is phenomenal. Their academic success is inspiring. Even if you are receiving failing grades, I can help you start understanding the material so you can turn your grades around. I am truly happy tutoring chemistry and am here to help students of any age and any skill level.
I would love to get started helping you or your student achieve academic success in chemistry!

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have 6+ years of experiential tutoring success helping students reach their academic goals in their college and high school chemistry labs and classes. A common underlying problem I have found with students who are not satisfied with their chemistry performance stems from a misconception in their foundational understanding of chemistry. Chemistry is so much fun to learn when the calculations are clear and everything is running smoothly. However, answering problems incorrectly and feeling bogged down by an overload of concepts being taught can be very disheartening for the student's mindset. When a student's understanding of chemistry problems starts to unravel, it can be hard to discern between the correct and incorrect foundational problem-solving strategies they have learned. Oftentimes, the misunderstanding or error in calculations is minimal but without proper guidance through the problem, being able to clearly see the one misstep can be very difficult. Problem-solving confidence can also be an underlying problem. When students are unsure of the reasons why they are solving a problem a certain way, it can become commonplace to backtrack and second guess their calculated answers. Being able to talk through every step of their problem-solving method with someone while using foundational chemistry concepts for their reasoning can make a huge impact on the student's overall performance in the class. I love being able to talk through chemistry problems and concepts with students of all ages so a positive learning environment can be established and persist through all levels of their chemistry endeavors. I believe everyone has the ability to become successful in their chemistry goals with proper guidance and a determined mindset. I love being able to aide in students' success by helping to guide their learning in the right direction.

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

Dawn, 23 lessons with Kelsey

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!

Marissa, 1 lesson with Kelsey

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

Kurt, 3 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!!
