Meet your College Chemistry Tutor

Karin Stevens

Former College Chemistry Professor

I earned my Master’s degree in Chemistry from UC Berkeley and spent 11 years as a college chemistry professor before founding Chem Help ASAP. I've been tutoring chemistry for more than 20 years.

As a professor, I saw firsthand where students tend to get stuck and what separates students who struggle from students who succeed.

My goal is to make chemistry easier to understand while helping students develop the skills, habits, and confidence they need to succeed.

Why Choose Chem Help ASAP for AP Chemistry?

Experienced College Professor

Learn from a former college chemistry professor with 11 years of experience teaching at the college level and more than 20 years of experience tutoring chemistry. I understand both the chemistry students need to learn and the challenges they face learning it.

Understanding Over Memorization

College chemistry requires students to apply concepts to unfamiliar problems. Our approach focuses on understanding the chemistry and developing the problem-solving skills needed to work through challenging questions independently.

Personalized to the Student

Every student has different strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Tutoring is tailored to the areas where each student needs support, from filling knowledge gaps to developing more effective study habits and preparing for the exams.

A Strong Foundation for What's Next

College Chemistry I and II form the foundation for many science and health profession courses. Building a strong understanding now can make future coursework, like organic chemistry, much easier, as well as help students prepare for exams like the MCAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you mean by College Chemistry?

We tutor the first two semesters of college level chemistry, commonly called General Chemistry I and II. Course names and topics vary somewhat between colleges, so we can work with the specific course your student is taking.

Yes! We can identify gaps in understanding, clarify difficult concepts, and work through challenging problems together. Our goal isn’t simply to help students get through the next exam, but to build the understanding and problem-solving skills they need to become more confident and independent.

All sessions are live over Zoom. A tablet or device with a stylus is recommended for the best interactive experience.

Standard sessions are 1 hour, but longer sessions, especially for exam prep, can be arranged.

I explain concepts, work through examples, and then guide students as they solve problems on their own. Sessions are interactive, with plenty of time for questions.

We cover the core topics typically included in College Chemistry I and II, including stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, molecular geometry, thermochemistry, gases, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry, and more.

Yes. Many of our students are pursuing pre-med or other health related careers. College chemistry can be especially challenging because students are often expected to learn and master concepts independently, sometimes with limited explanation during class. We help students identify what they need to understand, work through difficult concepts, and develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

College chemistry tutoring is $125 per hour

Payments can be made via Venmo or Zelle.
