Chemistry Tutoring in the Boston and Cambridge Area

Comments from Students

I really enjoyed all your help this year. You are an amazing tutor and
I really appreciated your approach.

We always leave tutoring sessions feeling encouraged that we can actually do this, switch directions and start again in a new field (premed/med) without any
science background.

I got a perfect 100 on Thursday's exam!  Thanks so much for
all of your help!

Thank you very much for working with me!  You were an amazing
tutor and actually helped me to understand chemistry.

I've learned quite a bit -
and thanks to you.

The tutoring session was
extremely helpful!

We've all found our tutoring
sessions incredibly helpful,
and the confidence and understanding of the material 
that they have given us has 
made the beginning of this premed path a little easier for all of us. Thank you so much!

Many of my improvements
have you to thank!

Thank you for being so helpful through the semester.

Tutoring Rates


Both individual and small-group tutoring are available. Individual tutoring (meeting one-on-one with a single student) is most commonly requested by students, although small-group sessions (meeting with anywhere from two to six students at a time) is also possible and provides a more affordable option for some students.


Individual Tutoring

You can arrange individual tutoring sessions and pay at each session, or save money by purchasing a prepaid tutoring package.

Students who purchase prepaid tutoring packages are strongly encouraged to set up a regular weekly tutoring schedule. Purchases of prepaid tutoring packages are non-refundable, and any unused hours cannot be reimbursed or refunded.


Small-Group Tutoring

Small-group tutoring is charged on an hourly basis, with the overall hourly rate dependent on the number of students in the group. As the size of the group increases, the hourly cost per student decreases.

2 students - $50 per student per hour
3 students - $40 per student per hour
4 students - $30 per student per hour
5 students - $25 per student per hour
6 students - $20 per student per hour


The minimum length of time for all tutoring sessions, whether individual sessions or small-group sessions, is one hour, and longer sessions can be arranged if requested. Payment by cash or check is due at the time of meeting.

All tutoring will typically take place at a convenient public location, such as a cafe or library, in the Harvard Square area of Cambridge.
