Personalized chemistry tutoring for AP, honors, college-level, and organic chemistry students

Chemistry can feel overwhelming — especially in fast-paced AP, honors, and college-level courses. My goal is to help students turn confusion into confidence by making difficult concepts clear, intuitive, and manageable.

I am a licensed high school chemistry teacher and College Board-certified AP Chemistry instructor with extensive experience helping students succeed in:
• AP Chemistry
• Honors Chemistry
• General Chemistry
• Organic Chemistry

I have worked with:
• students aiming for top AP scores
• students preparing for difficult exams
• students self-studying AP Chemistry
• students recovering from a difficult semester
• students who want chemistry to finally “click”

As both a classroom teacher and private tutor, I understand where students struggle, how chemistry questions are written, and how to develop strong problem-solving skills.

My teaching style is patient, supportive, and highly personalized. I focus on:
• building confidence
• strengthening fundamentals
• reducing test anxiety
• improving problem-solving skills
• helping students become independent learners

Students and parents often tell me that I explain chemistry in a way that finally makes sense.

For AP Chemistry students, I also help with:
• AP-style multiple choice
• FRQ strategy
• exam preparation
• study planning
• lab concepts
• scientific reasoning

I have 20 years of private tutoring experience working with students in competitive academic environments.

Education:
• B.S. in Chemistry
• M.Ed. in Secondary Science Education
• College Board Certified AP Chemistry Teacher

Whether you are aiming for a 5 on the AP exam, improving your grades, or looking for a clearer understanding of chemistry, I would be happy to help.

Great Tutor Made a Difference in Test Scores

Clark really helped my daughter change her attitude on Honors Chemistry as a freshman in high school. After she began to see Clark we saw an increase her test scores. We tried a few different tutors but Clark is the one that changed the game and made it all click. Highly recommend him as a tutor.

The, 7 lessons with Clark

Extremely helpful, and excellent communicator

Clark has been very helpful for our son, a high school junior taking AP Chemistry. He is personable and extremely intelligent in the way he walks his students through the concepts. I also appreciate his great communication when it comes to scheduling.

Janet, 18 lessons with Clark

Effective, accessible tutor

Clark has been an incredible tutor! My son was struggling with AP Chem and felt hopeless after a string of poor quiz and test grades. He started working with Clark and we saw a near immediate turnaround. His last two test grades were a B and an A! Clark has empowered him and improved his performance more than we imagined. In addition, he is flexible and prompt in his communication - very helpful as he balances this work with his other classes and activities.

Teacher Clark is very knowledgeable and experienced, he is patient and good to guide student find out the solution themselves through his questions. We are looking forward to the next class.

Top-notch chemistry tutor

Clark is an absolutely superior tutor. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he is an experienced educator who knows how to get the material across to students. I feel very lucky that my daughter got to work with him.

Beth , 22 lessons with Clark

Model teacher!

My 10th-grade son is being tutored by Mr. Whitney in Honors Chemistry and he has been, what I would consider, a model teacher - very knowledgeable, understands the student's level and needs and is professional in interacting with me, the parent, in answering all the questions. My son is greatly benefitting from the time he spends with Clark and I cannot thank him enough!

Sri, 7 lessons with Clark

Very helpful and direct with organic chemistry

We had a small mix-up with the time that was settled without any issues - very flexible. I brought him some of the most difficult examples in my textbook and he worked them through with me quickly and effectively.

Davis, 6 lessons with Clark

Undergraduate Organic Chemistry 2 Tutor

I am an undergraduate pre-med student and Clark helped me receive the grade I wanted in my organic chemistry 2 class! He was incredibly knowledgable about the subject matter and was able to fully articulate concepts in terms that I could understand. He provided new ways of looking at complex topics and always made them more comprehensible. Not only did Clark help with lecture material but lab material as well! I would strongly recommend Clark as a tutor for undergraduate level organic chemistry!
