College & High School Math & Chemistry Tutor with Industry Experience

Elias N.

I am a Ph.D.-trained Chemistry tutor based in Waltham, MA, with extensive experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I earned my Ph.D. in Chemistry with a 4.00 GPA and hold a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Chemistry, with strong training in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. I also have over four years of biotechnology industry experience, which allows me to explain chemistry concepts clearly and connect them to real-world applications.

I have served as a university teaching assistant for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for over ten semesters, supporting both introductory and upper-level college courses. I have also tutored students one-on-one and in small groups, both in person and online, with excellent results. I regularly help students prepare for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry exams, homework, quizzes, and finals, and I am comfortable tutoring related math and science courses including algebra and calculus. My online tutoring sessions are structured, interactive, and effective, making complex topics easier to understand in a virtual setting.

My tutoring approach focuses on building strong foundations, improving problem-solving skills, and boosting confidence. I break down difficult topics into clear, logical steps and adapt my teaching style to each student’s learning needs. I provide structured practice problems and new, relevant test-prep materials that closely reflect exam questions, helping students feel prepared and confident. I also teach practical study strategies and test-taking techniques that consistently lead to improved grades and long-term understanding in chemistry and math courses.
