The Chemistry tutors at Veritas Tutors have demonstrated their skills in Chemistry through success in their coursework and extensive tutoring experience. We have tutors who can aid with all different levels and types of chemistry from high school to college-level inorganic and organic chemistry classes. Veritas Tutors also specializes in helping non-science concentrated students succeed in their chemistry courses and on the exams that are necessary for admission into medical schools. Whether the student needs help understanding material covered in class or wants to explore concepts further, Veritas can arrange productive and inspiring tutoring sessions. Our tutors have deep familiarity with all standardized tests in chemistry, including Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), SAT II Chemistry, and the MCAT and can help students navigate these often tricky exams as well as succeed in their coursework.
High School level courses: Integrated Physics and Chemistry (IPC), Chemistry I, Chemistry II, Biological Chemistry
College level courses: Chemistry I, Chemistry II, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry
Standardized tests: AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry SL/HL, SAT II Chemistry
Tutors Available for Chemistry:
Tamara W.
Tamara began tutoring at age 15, and has tutored (and taught) numerous topics, focusing on math, test prep, medicine and chemistry; she was offered a position at Princeton Review during graduate school (teaching; USMLE, MCAT, and SAT prep). She has tutored students with a range of learning styles, and is trained in teaching students with learning disabilities as well as "gifted" students. BA (cum laude), Princeton University MD (elected AOA junior year), U.Penn PhD in Neuroscience, U. Penn Internal Medicine Residency, MGH Neuroendocrine Fellow, MGH. Currently works as an attending at MGH in the summer (and sees patients on weekends), and full-time is a consultant with McKinsey&Company.

Tanya K.
Tanya did her undergraduate work at UW-Madison where she was also a teaching assistant for undergraduate analytical and general chemistry during her junior and senior years of college. She came to Harvard for graduate studies and just received her PhD. Her graduate work was in the lab of Professor Gavin MacBeath and focused on making protein microarray-based diagnostic tools for clinical use. She has also been a teaching fellow for various courses including general chemistry, both undergraduate and graduate level chemical biology, and inorganic chemistry. This semester in addition to tutoring with Veritas Tutors, she will be the Departmental Teaching Fellow for the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard where her duties will include teaching a pedagogy course on teaching chemistry at Harvard and mentoring incoming teaching fellows.
- Has worked with all types of students including returning adults, non-native English speakers, and first-generation college students, as well as all levels of education from freshman to graduate students
- Knowledgeable in all aspects of chemistry
- Over 11 semesters of teaching experience
