I would love to be your online tutor and help you not only get great grades but truly understand chemistry! I work with both high school and college students. I have 29+ years of real-time classroom experience and realize the all students learn differently. My online sessions are very interactive. I will quickly be able to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses to develop a custom plan for your success. I believe that everyone can be successful; sometimes it just requires a little one-on-one help. My superpower is the ability to present difficult topics in a simple way that you can understand. Let me help you become a confident chemistry student.

As an actual chemistry teacher I have countless resources at my disposal. I have all levels of practice work, tests and sample AP Chemistry Exams. I know exactly how to help you approach multiple choice questions and the language expected for free-response. I can help you with your homework, lab reports or that next big test. I also do summer tutoring for those who want to get ahead and be ready.

A little bout me.... I am from Southwestern Pennsylvania and a mom of three. I got my Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, with a specialization in chemistry, from West Virginia University. I was very fortunate to quickly receive a teaching position and have been helping students learn to love chemistry ever since.

I am a Certified Chemistry Instructor.

It has been my experience that chemistry is one of the first courses that challenges students. I can help them learn the content and develop their reasoning skills. The goal for all of my students is to become independent learners. I can tutor from after school until around 11 pm, or on the weekends. If you are looking for a tutor, please contact me.

FIVE STARS

Dina is HANDS DOWN the best tutor on this site. She is worth much more than what she charges and if you have a high school AP chem student - you MUST choose her and she should be charging more (particularly since there are others on the site charging more). She is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the AP chemistry curriculum but she is caring, dedicated, tireless, and reliable. My daughter worked with Dina for a little over half a year because her AP Chemistry teacher taught using a worksheet and lab system, (investigative) rather than instruction and then was not supportive of students who needed extra help. When my daughter asked her own teacher for tutoring, she sent her to the "peer tutor" and we tried that in the middle of Fall without success. We turned to Wyzant and we started with one tutor who was so wonderful but confessed that the AP level was not where he was teaching -- he recommended we look again for an actual AP teacher because he could see that my daughter was a learner but no one was giving her the content. We were so blessed to find Dina (as she is a teacher of AP chem). We set up 2-3 times per week and Dina essentially taught my daughter a year's worth of AP chemistry. She took her grade from a low C the first semester to a 97.3% the second semester. COVID was hard on all teachers and she could have told us she couldn't take the time (considering what she had to do for her classes) but she didn't waver one second and stuck with my daughter. Please know that Dina is the most incredible tutor your child will have and she treats her tutoring students like they are her family. I swear it. Unbelievable!

Chem 1

Dina was amazing. I had an online chem 1045 class and had a very hard time understand the information by myself. One lesson with Dina and I was on the right track, couldn't thank her enough!

Jacob, 10 lessons with Dina

Very knowledgeable

My daughter finally found a chemistry tutor who knows the subject and clearly able to explain and understand her problems. Dina was able to quickly understand my daughter's AP chemistry subjects and able to help immediately. Excellent overall and would recommend any students who is looking for a knowledgeable tutor.

Wonderful Lesson

Dina did a fantastic job in clarifying the concepts that we had discussed! She was extremely helpful in her explanations about formerly less clear content.

Robin, 9 lessons with Dina

Excellent

My daughter asked for a tutor after reviewing her summer packet for AP chemistry left her apprehensive since she did not feel that her general chemistry experience in school was very good. After two sessions my daughter reports that Dina was great and she is feeling much better about the material. Dina broke down the information into understandable pieces and presented it in a very clear manner and my daughter is feeling confident. She really gave Dina an A++ review and is looking forward to the school year and working with Dina.

Amazing, patient, wonderful tutor! Can’t thank her enough!

Dina taught my son AP Chemistry, and his understanding of the material is truly, truly thanks to her. She was patient and flexible and he really learned so, so much. This was an extra challenging year, too, as his school was online and he didn’t get to do any labs, so the burden of teaching all of the material really did fall to Dina. He looked forward to their sessions and she inspired so much confidence in him. He took the test last week and said it went very well. We will absolutely be back when his siblings take Chemistry!
