Bio

I have been teaching chemistry for over 10 years at different universities and colleges. These range from the University of Dresden, Germany where I obtained my Masters, the University of Auckland, New Zealand during my PhD and the University of Queensland, Australia in my Postdoctoral years.
Since 2022 I’m teaching my own chemistry classes at Hood College and Frederick Community college. These include general chemistry 1 and 2 (CHEM 6A, CHEM 6B and CHEM 6C), general inorganic chemistry 1...

I have been teaching chemistry for over 10 years at different universities and colleges. These range from the University of Dresden, Germany where I obtained my Masters, the University of Auckland, New Zealand during my PhD and the University of Queensland, Australia in my Postdoctoral years.
Since 2022 I’m teaching my own chemistry classes at Hood College and Frederick Community college. These include general chemistry 1 and 2 (CHEM 6A, CHEM 6B and CHEM 6C), general inorganic chemistry 1 and 2 and chemistry for non-science majors. Since my early years of teaching I had the opportunity to introduce and advance hundreds of students into the field of chemistry, prepare them for upcoming exams, quizzes, assignments and test. During this time, I identified many topics and concepts students tend to struggle with and develop methods the help students to master these concepts.
Previously I have been conducting research (Computational Chemistry based on DFT, VASP) at the National Institute of Standards and Technologies.

Among other I do cover the following topic in class:
Stoichiometry
Balancing Equations
Ideal Gas Law & Real Gas Laws
Quantum Numbers & Electron Configuration & Orbital Diagrams
Thermodynamics I & II
Lewis Model & Structures
VSEPR Theory
Molecular Orbital - Theory
Intermolecular Forces
Unit conversion
Chemical Kinetics & Reaction Kinetics
Phase Diagrams and Heating Curves
Chemical Equilibria
Acids and Bases
Buffer Solutions
Electrochemistry
Radiation and Nuclear Chemistry
Introduction to Organic Chemistry

Excellent explanations.

Christoph has worked with my son on AP Chemistry. My son reports his explanations of the material are excellent. Christoph was able to teach the needed math that had not been taught yet in my son's math class in a very clear way. We have tried several tutors, and while they are all good Christoph has been best at helping my son comprehend the material. My son recently got 100% correct on the test of the material they had covered.

Great tutor

Christoph helped me all throughout my chemistry course. He was very patient and was always willing to go over topics with me multiple times. During our tutoring sessions I was also able to have review session with him during weeks that I had an upcoming exam. He was able to work with my busy schedule. He was very encouraging and never let me give up even when I wanted to, because of him I finished the class with an A. I will definitely be using him again next semester!

Great Tutor

Christoph is absolutely wonderful! He got me through my chemistry class with an A when I came to him super behind in class. He worked with me until I understood the material and explained it to me in different ways until it stuck. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

LaTreece, 106 lessons with Christoph

Very Kind and helpful

Christoph helped me gather study materials into slides for my chem ACS exam. He was very kind and gave me the tools to make a study guide based on the ACS standards.

Joseph, 1 lesson with Christoph

The best tutor!

Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Makes other professors seem inexperienced. I would recommend Cristoph to anyone in need of chemistry help.

Hass, 8 lessons with Christoph

Wonderful tutor, kind, patient, clear

Christoph is an excellent tutor, and exceptionally kind and patient. He stepped in last minute to tutor my son for his first college chemistry exam and even left extra time available in case he needed it so he would not feel rushed. His help made a huge difference. He was prepared, knowledgable, thorough, and explained the concepts with clarity and patience. He covered both the specifics of practice problems and the larger concepts so strategies could be applied when encountering new material. My son learned more in a short time with Christoph than in a month of lectures classes in his highly competitive college engineering program. He is a wonderful teacher and highly recommended.

Jeannine, 8 lessons with Christoph

Excellent tutor

Christoph is an exceptionally knowledgeable and effective chemistry tutor with a great skill for problem solving and mathematics. I have found my sessions with him to be quite useful in deepening my comprehension of general chemistry. He is a kind person who has offered valuable advice to me about the possibilities of working in a variety of fields as well. I highly recommend you work with Christoph, whether you want a better grade in your course or are interested in understanding chemistry.

Key to my son’s success

Christoph has had a big impact on my son’s success in honors chemistry. With regular sessions, they’ve developed a rapport and routine that’s working very well. My son has a much better command of the material and it’s showing in his test results.

Tessa, 24 lessons with Christoph

Patient, kind, and clear!

Christoph has boosted my son’s confidence in honors chemistry and helped him boost his grades too. They’ve developed a positive, trusting collaboration. Christoph is also responsive when we request sessions and works hard to accommodate my son’s tough schedule.

Tessa, 24 lessons with Christoph

Patient, kind, and clear!

Christopher patiently taught my son chemistry material, ensuring he understood the concepts completely. My son said it was a very helpful session and Christopher is one of the best tutors he’s had so far.
