Top Rated Chemistry Tutoring in Richmond

We tailor every plan to the BC Chemistry 11 and 12 curriculum and your child’s current class in Richmond School District 38. Tutors follow the learning outcomes and focus on the same skills teachers assess, including:
– Atomic structure, periodic trends, and bonding
– Chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and mole concepts
– Thermochemistry and energy changes
– Solutions, acids and bases, and titrations
– Kinetics and equilibrium
– Organic chemistry and basic nomenclature
We review class syllabi, teacher expectations, and upcoming tests so your child gets support that fits what is happening in their classroom.

Our chemistry tutors can help with course content and study skills. Common areas include:
– Problem solving and multi-step calculations
– Balancing equations and limiting reagents
– Lab skills, error analysis, and data interpretation
– Graphing and significant figures
– Preparing for unit tests and cumulative exams
– AP or IB Chemistry concepts and exam practice
Your child will also learn how to read questions carefully, set up work neatly, and check answers for reasonableness.

Yes. We work with students in Chemistry 11 and 12, as well as AP and IB Chemistry. We adjust pacing and materials to match the level. Sessions can include concept reviews, practice questions, labs support, and exam strategies specific to each course.

We start with a free consultation to learn about goals, learning style, and course details. Peter Seward, our local owner, uses that insight to recommend a tutor with the right subject expertise and personality fit. If the match is not quite right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will make a change and adjust the plan.

Yes. We offer in-home sessions across Richmond and flexible online sessions. Online sessions are recorded so students can review before quizzes and exams. Families often choose a mix of in-home and online to fit busy schedules.

After each session, you receive a brief report with what was covered, wins, and next steps. We set clear goals, check in on homework and test results, and adjust the plan as needed. You will always know how your child is progressing in chemistry.

Yes. Tutors can guide students through:
– Pre-lab planning and safety checklists
– Writing hypotheses and procedures
– Data tables, calculations, and graphs
– Error analysis and conclusions
We do not perform labs at home, but we prepare students to complete labs at school with confidence and to communicate results clearly.

We begin at the student’s level and create quick wins. Tutors break problems into smaller steps, model clear methods, and praise effort. We also coach X-Skills like organization, time management, and test routines. As one Richmond parent shared, “Our daughter enjoyed the sessions, which helped boost her confidence in the subject and this was reflected in her quiz and test scores.”

Yes. We work with students who have IEPs or unique learning needs. Tutors adapt instruction with visuals, step-by-step scaffolds, and targeted practice. We can pace sessions differently, use checklists, and coordinate with your child’s supports to create a calm, effective learning plan.

Tutors are carefully vetted for subject knowledge, teaching skill, and the ability to connect with students. Many have advanced coursework in chemistry or related fields and experience supporting high school science. We complete background checks and focus on communication skills so explanations are clear and practical.
