Qualifications for “chemistry”

I had worked at colleges and high schools in teaching college chemistry, AP chemistry, as well as Pre-AP chemistry and regular chemistry courses for 25 years. In one of the recent years my AP chemistry students 100% passed AP chemistry exam, and in general my students have had about 85% of AP exam passing rates yearly, while my Pre-AP and regular chemistry students at 85-90% of passing rates consistently in district's assessment tests yearly. Prior to high school teaching career, I taught college chemistry at community colleges for some years, and laboratory courses in the department of chemical engineering of a university for some years.

I have taught college chemistry, AP chemistry, as well as Pre-AP chemistry and regular chemistry courses for more than 20 some years. In these many years the most important experience is that I have worked with all levels of students, and I know how to teach and help different types of students to be successful in chemistry classes. With Wyzant I was one of the top 10% tutors in 2019. Through Wyzant online lesson platform or face to face lessons, I have tutored many college students, AP chemistry students, high school chemistry students and home schooling students. Many students had great improvement after a time period of tutorials. Some even had a surprising grade improvement from a "F" to an "A" after tutorials plus his/her hard work. It is a true reward and a pleasure to see students having a great improvement and doing well in their chemistry classes.

Very knowledgeable, kind, and prompt

Nina is an amazing tutor! She is always on time and very nice. She prepares ahead of time for sessions, so time is well spent. She knows what is important for certain topics and has a broad knowledge on the different topics. She was able to take 2 weeks of college chemistry, dealing specifically with bonding, and teach me everything I needed to know for my test in just a couple of hours. She makes learning fun and enjoyable. She is by far one of the best tutors I have ever had!

Very Knowledgeable in Chemistry

She was well versed in the topics my daughter needed taught. She was patient and explained all the concepts well. It was important for my daughter to have someone that has mastery on concepts, so they can help with multiple facets of the topics. Her response was also very timely.

Great teacher with even better explanations

Nina helped me with Chemistry and was extremely helpful. Her explanations were very clear and I understood them easily. Although I had some technical difficulties at the beginning, my lesson with her was smooth sailings from then on. I recommend her for whatever Chemistry questions anyone may have.

Review for Nina Z

Ms. Nina Z. helped my son, Kevin in his Chemistry 1A college chemistry class last semester. She not only tutored Kevin on the broad chemistry subject but also provided him the study skills to catch up in his class. She reviewed lecture notes and went over quizzes and tests with Kevin. She also provided plenty of practice questions for Kevin to prepare for tests and quizzes. She would spent her own time to review the notes that we sent her before the tutoring sessions to provide Kevin the proper advice to prepare for exams. We really appreciate her dedications to her students in which she doesn't just take tutoring as a profession but sincerely wants her students to be successful in their classes.

Able to teach AP Chem well and make it understandable

Nina has been great! While my HS teacher seems unable to connect with his students and make the material make sense, Nina has filled in! After only a few lessons I am more confident and understand the material much better.

Ashley, 5 lessons with Nina

Great tutor! (:

I've only had Nina for a few sessions, but she was able to help me understand the material and grasp the concepts quickly while still being in-depth which prepared me well and made me feel much more confident for my AP chemistry test. She is a very patient and genuine tutor who is always well prepared and willing to help.
