My Goal
My goal is to make learning chemistry easier for you with my unique methods, helping you lay a solid foundation for your future career. There is a famous Chinese saying: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Here, I will teach you how to "fish" in the amazing world of chemistry.

About Me
I am a chemistry professor at a liberal arts college, teaching Principles of Chemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and labs. With a Ph.D. in chemistry, I am capable of tutoring in most areas of the subject and have guided students to remarkable achievements, such as advancing to the finals of the US National Chemistry Olympiad (USNCO) and achieving top scores on the College Board AP Chemistry exam.

Teaching Philosophy
I motivate students by highlighting the importance of chemistry in daily life. My classes are energetic and engaging, using various methods to simplify complex concepts and enhance problem-solving skills. My dedication to student success is reflected by the highly positive feedback from students and colleagues. As one student stated: "I appreciate his teaching style and love for chemistry. He definitely cares for his students and their success." This is echoed by another student: "Dr. Z made even the hardest topics clear and easy to understand. One of the best professors I have had."

Approach
My approach is tailored to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to excel. Whether you aim for high AP scores, a strong MCAT or DAT foundation, or overcoming chemistry fears, I am here to help. My goal is not only to improve your academic performance but instill a lifelong love for chemistry.

Chemistry

Chemistry

Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed or stuck — especially in Organic Chemistry. Within a few sessions, they often say, “This finally makes sense.” I’m a Ph.D. chemist and university professor with over 10 years of teaching experience. I specialize in breaking complex topics into clear, step-by-step systems so students can approach problems with confidence instead of guesswork. I help students: • strengthen fundamentals in General Chemistry • master reaction patterns and mechanisms in Organic Chemistry • prepare strategically for exams (AP Chemistry, college exams, pre-med courses) • improve problem-solving speed and accuracy Over the years, I’ve guided students to outstanding results, including advancing to the USNCO finals and earning top AP Chemistry scores. Whether you’re trying to pass, raise a B to an A, or prepare for competitive exams, we’ll create a focused plan tailored to your goals. Let’s make chemistry manageable — and even enjoyable!
