Chemistry (IB/A-level/AP & first-year uni) — clear, step-by-step lessons with a Chemistry BSc tutor

Van 27.85 $ /h

Chemistry can be challenging if it’s taught as pure memorization — my goal is to change that. With over 5 years of tutoring experience and a BSc in Chemistry from TU/e, I help students understand the “why” and “how” behind chemistry, turning tricky concepts into something logical and even enjoyable.

This class is for high school students (IB SL/HL, A-level, AP) and first-year university students taking General Chemistry. Lessons are in English and are ideal for international students or anyone who prefers studying in English.

We cover all major topics, including stoichiometry and moles, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids, bases and buffers, kinetics, electrochemistry, atomic structure, bonding, and organic chemistry basics (nomenclature, mechanisms, isomerism).

A typical 60-minute lesson includes: 1) quick check-in and goal-setting, 2) a clear explanation with one core example, 3) guided practice with feedback, 4) an exam-style problem under light time pressure, and 5) recap and micro-homework with an error log to track recurring mistakes.

Lessons are available online (interactive whiteboard, past papers, custom notes) or in-person in Eindhoven.

Over

I’m Valerian, a Chemistry BSc from TU/e. I help high-school and first-year university students master Chemistry, Calculus/Math, and high-school Physics.

My tutoring is clear and structured: I diagnose where understanding breaks down, rebuild concepts step by step, and coach problem-solving so students become confident and independent. I care about efficiency, calm progress, and real understanding—not rote memorization. Lessons are in English, online worldwide. If you want clarity and steady results, I’d be happy to help.

Outside of teaching I love dancing, debating, and cooking — things that keep me curious, communicative, and creative, qualities I bring to every lesson.

Physics and chemistry are very interesting subjects, but also subjects that many people struggle with. Are you in secondary or higher education and struggling with these subjects, how to approach them, etc.? I enjoy tutoring and want to help people not only understand these subjects but also how to study correctly so they can apply their knowledge to other subjects. In addition to these two subjects, I also provide guidance for the Medical and Dental Entrance Exam, in which I already have extensive experience. I am a 1MA medical student with three years of experience in biomedical sciences at the University of Antwerp. I work patiently and try to get a good understanding of my student first so I can have a targeted approach. We discuss the problems together and solve them (plans, physics exercises, etc.). I am very enthusiastic and always try to give my full 100 percent to my student.

Hopefully I can help you with your further studies!

Chemistry is an exact subject and for enough people this is difficult. Chemistry follows a system that you have to master bit by bit. You have to get used to the different subdomains and then let them merge with each other. Chemistry is also referred to as a stack science, in which you apply previously acquired knowledge within new knowledge to be acquired.

I will take you by the proverbial hand and take you step by step through the various sub-areas. I will explain and make you understand this, where we together make exercises from your textbooks.

In addition to chemistry, I also tutor Nask 1 and physics MAVO/HAVO up to class 4. I now also teach this at a school for MAVO/HAVO.

In this module I tutor in physics, math and chemistry on a middle school to high school to college level, depending on what is required by the student. The possibilities vary from simple lessons about basic concepts all the way to the topics needed to pass ''end exams'' like the SAT, GCSE, MCAT and International Baccalaureate.

I personalise classes based on the students needs and goals, and give out homework when asked. Always available when contacted.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

I am Wolf (18 years old) and just completed the IB diploma with a 7 in math AA HL, a 7 for Physics HL and a 7 in Chemistry HL. Since I so recently graduated a lot of the content is still very fresh, but I am more than willing to go over the content again. I am currently attending at the University Georgia Tech Institute in Atlanta. I have 5 years of tutoring experience with various ages of students. I am able to tutor all levels of MYP math, physics and chemistry and the same for the DP program on HL. Looking at different methods to approach these problems and practicing your problem solving skills. I have experience in teaching and tutoring various international curricula, including IBDP,.

As a third-year Pharmaceutical Sciences student, I learned the importance of good explanations. I enjoy sharing knowledge because I see how much difference clear explanations and patience make to someone's understanding and motivation. The moment something becomes clear to a student is incredibly motivating.

My lessons are structured and tailored to the student. We start with objectives, cover the material step by step, and practice with specific focus.
I explain connections, ask control questions and adapt my explanation until it really clicks.
I ensure that the material is truly understood through questions and repetition!
