Hello! I’m Alisa, an M.S.-trained chemist and retired college chemistry instructor with more than 21 years of teaching experience, along with experience working in industry.
I’ve taught Introductory and General Chemistry and understand how overwhelming chemistry can feel when new concepts build quickly from one topic to the next. My goal is to make chemistry understandable and help you build the confidence to solve problems on your own.
My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and practical. Rather than relying on memorization, I explain the concepts behind the problems and work through problem-solving strategies step-by-step. I’ll meet you where you are and focus on the areas where you need the most help—whether that's understanding difficult concepts, keeping up with homework, preparing for an exam, or strengthening your chemistry foundation.
Questions are always welcome, and mistakes are simply part of learning. My goal is for you to leave each session understanding something that was confusing before.
I offer online tutoring and limited in-person sessions in the Lansing and East Lansing area. I look forward to helping you succeed in chemistry!
