How I Teach
In Person-
I provide professional chemistry tutoring lessons in person for local students in the Denver, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Englewood, Lone Tree, Parker, Centennial, Aurora, Golden, Arvada, Broomfield, Thornton, and other surrounding areas! I usually meet with students in a mutually-convenient public coffee shop or library which can place me close to you! I am always open to places the student would like to work. We can work on class work or material you need outside of a particular class as well!
Online-
I also provide professional chemistry tutoring for non-local students in addition to local students wanting the convenience of this online format. Online tutoring is not weather dependent, removes travel and commuting time, and is extra convenient in your own home! My method of online tutoring allows screen sharing for online problems, a camera on my whiteboard to show what I write even larger than in person, and offers other great advantages like file sharing and visualization tools for math and science. I’ve had many students who were very surprised at how effective online tutoring was for them so give a first lesson a shot; you won’t be disappointed!
Subjects I Teach
I teach both chemistry 1 and chemistry 2 at high school and college (usually called “general chemistry”) levels. I also can help you prepare many of the topics for the SAT Chemistry Subject test. I teach these topics at all levels including first-time students in these classes to adults returning to college!
Qualifications
I have conducted thousands of hours of tutoring in the past years in science and math! I graduated with my Master’s Degree in Applied Physics a few months after obtaining my Bachelor’s Engineering physics; we deal with many different concepts in physics and I’ve taught the material enough that I know how to best approach teaching the material in a systematic way! I have a thorough understanding of all of the classes I teach and know exactly how to impart this understanding to my students. Check out my qualifications page for more details!
See MoreContact Me
I would love to hear from you! I am always taking new students and I don’t require any commitment or obligation to future lessons; you can work with me once or twice to prepare for a test, or any amount of times weekly for all or parts of your class! I don’t require students to take the same block of time each week either. I’d love to discuss your needs!
Student Testimonials
Leylange B.
Chemistry and Math
” I earned an ‘A’ in both Chemistry and Precalculus as a direct result of the tutoring sessions with Alex. He takes tutoring seriously and no moment is wasted when working with him. Most importantly, Alex has a keen intuition which allows him to meet you at a level that best suits your learning abilities. I don’t believe I ever walked away from a session without having a significant gain in understanding of the material. I highly recommend Alex for your tutoring needs.”
Zoe C.
Chemistry
” In my first quarter for chemistry I got a B. But after tutoring with Alex, I got an A on my final, and an A for the second quarter. I find that I use the whole hour efficiently when touring with him. Alex is outstanding at conforming to my teaching style to help me learn new material. Each hour is worth the money as you get a better understanding of the material along with helpful strategies to help you when the material is applied. Alex is enthusiastic and dedicated during all of our sessions. I strongly recommend Alex as a chemistry tutor as he has helped get a much better grasp on the material this year.”
Mackenzie G.
AP Chemistry
” Alex has helped me study and prepare for multiple exams in my AP Chemistry 2 class and I have scored better on all of my exams since I started working with him. I was able to earn a B in the class overall and I would not have been able to do it on my own. I have done online tutoring sessions and I have found they are just as effective as in person. He is very professional and knowledgeable and does a fantastic job explaining concepts that I struggled to understand. I will continue to work with him to be successful through next semester of chemistry and I would highly recommend working with Alex for tutoring.”

SAT Chemistry Subject Test
“…I was impressed with both the efficiency and effectiveness of Alex’s online lessons. It is easy to learn from Alex because he translates the extremely difficult concepts of advanced mathematics into something easier for a student to digest. Although initially skeptical of online tutoring, I found that learning online was easy and better accommodated my busy schedule. Currently, Alex is teaching me the more advanced concepts on the SAT Math II Subject test. I look forward to a STEM related major in college and rest assured knowing that I will always have readily accessible math help.”
