A 2017, 2018, and 2021 recipient of the Outstanding Teacher of First-Year Students Award, I have taught Chemistry for a Boston-area institution since 2000, authored standardized-test questions for different U.S. states, and served over a decade in multiple roles across private industry. In 2012, I joined Wyzant's platform to reach more students across the U.S.

Let me to guide you through multi-step calculations in General Chemistry, mechanisms and reactions central to Organic Chemistry, and, in the process, assess your strengths and opportunities for additional enrichment and practice. Generations of students have benefitted from my creative, flexible instruction and successfully attained their course, standardized-test, and ultimate career goals. A number of my former students now work as accomplished STEM professionals, physicians, and dentists.

Please remember that Wyzant requires all students to complete their online profiles before session-scheduling discussions can begin. Please feel free to message me, and I will return your inquiry as soon as possible. Thank you, and I look forward to helping you reach for academic success in Chemistry this academic year and beyond.

Update: As of Summer 2025, the College Board is only publishing AP Chemistry Free Response Questions for the past three years and their Scoring Guidelines. Wyzant students with whom I work will use all prior AP Exams for the last decade, as we prepare for the May Exam.

Chemistry

As a Chemistry tutor since 1991, and classroom educator since 2000, I have helped thousands of students across the globe master: šŸšŒ High-School Chemistry (Honors Chemistry, College-Prep Chemistry, Advanced Chemistry, Chemistry Electives) šŸŽ“ AP Chemistry (College-Board Curriculum Instruction, Academic Support, AP Exam Preparation) āš›ļø General Chemistry I & II (College Level) šŸ„¼ Organic Chemistry I & II (College Level) šŸ§‘ā€āš•ļø MCAT and DAT (General & Organic-Chemistry sections) A recipient of the 2017, 2018, and 2021 Outstanding Teacher of First-Year Engineering Students Award, I am passionate for both the subject and for rendering challenging concepts and problem-solving more accessible for my students. My former students have enjoyed significant grade and test-score increases after working with me. A number have also earned a 5 on the AP Examination in Chemistry.

MCAT

MCAT

I have tutored Chemistry since 1991 and taught both General and Organic Chemistry for Boston-area institutions since 2000. My former students have earned top scores on the General and Organic Chemistry sections of the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). As a result of my coaching, many have even shared that their highest scores were in the Chemistry sections. It has been to joy to watch these same students continue their success, as they advance into Medical School, complete their residency, and ultimately enrich society as practicing physicians. Session structure is always flexible and can range from reviewing specific chemical concepts and problem-solving strategies to applying MCAT test-taking strategies to sample questions on the UWorld General and Organic Chemistry sections. If you are seeking to maximize your scores in the Chemistry and Organic Chemistry sections of the MCAT, I invite you to contact me via my Wyzant profile today.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

In addition to teaching Organic Chemistry at the university and community-college levels, I have helped countless students across the United States master the intricacies of this challenging subject. Valued skills that I have helped develop include: o Acid-Base Equilibrium (pKa, proton acidity, predicting equilibrium direction) o Conformational analysis (Newman projections, chair conformations) o Mechanism construction/Use of Electron-Pushing Formalism (i.e. arrow-pushing) o Retrosynthetic Analysis o Spectroscopic Identification of Organic Compounds (MS, IR, H NMR, 13C NMR) I have tutored Chemistry since 1991 and taught in the classroom since 2000. My former Organic Chemistry students have successfully overcome many of the obstacles relating both concepts and representations of molecular structure with the chemical and physical properties whereupon this subject is based.

BEST AP Chem Tutor - I scored a 5

In school, I was lost and couldnā€™t understand the AP chemistry concepts. Chris made a HUGE difference as an experienced tutor who has seen/solved all aspects of AP chemistry problems. Chris actually TAUGHT the concepts by breaking them down clearly and explaining them in depth. During my online lessons, Chris would share every possible resource: Detailed power point presentations, textbook practice problems, AP practice problems, practice tests, etc. He did an amazing job of identifying areas of improvement and specifically chose questions at the correct difficulty for me to learn and grow in that area. Chris is super nice, knowledgeable, experienced, has a flexible schedule, and is the perfect tutor. Chris will help you prepare for the AP test and beyond, I confidently scored a 5 on the AP Chemistry College Board Exam with his tutoring. Even one lesson is incredibly high yield and definitely worth the money - highly recommend!

Very Helpful for AP Chemistry!

I had my first lesson with Christopher yesterday. He was knowledgeable and helpful! He was on the "zoom" call a little early so we were able to start a few minutes prior to our lesson. I sent him a few AP classroom questions I was having a lot of trouble with, so we spent most of the lesson reviewing those. At the end of the class, he sent over the pdf with all the information/steps of how to do the questions so I could review it. He also showed me a great website for the periodic table that had helpful information and insight. At the end of class, he also sent some practice tests to find questions in. He had a great analogy for the repulsion orbitals that I will never forget! I will definitely be scheduling another lesson before my next test.

The Best!!

I have been tutoring from Mr. Chris for a while now and he is the best out there. I have tried multiple other tutors before him, but non of them were as thorough and organized as him! Great teacher.

I Highly Recommend Chris!

I highly recommend Chris without any hesitation. Before my daughter started working with him, she was scoring 50s and lower on her AP Chemistry school exams and felt completely overwhelmed by the workload and struggled to understand some of the fundamental topics. Chris was incredibly patient and helped to make sure she understood every last detail of a topic, no matter how long it took. Soon, she quickly started receiving 90-100s on her exams. Chris provided plenty of resources for my daughter to thrive. My daughter got a 5 on her AP chemistry college board exam. He even helped my daughter on her chemistry projects. We are so grateful for all the help Chris has given to our daughter!

Knowledgeable and effective tutor!

Christopher has been so helpful to identify gaps in what my son was learning from his AP Chemistry teacher. The sessions are recorded for my sonā€™s future reference and Chris sends out notes detailing what they covered and refers him to his book from school for addition work. Itā€™s been very helpful! Highly recommend!
