Why Catalyst

Tutored by someone who's actually done it.

Most tutors explain what the textbook says. I explain what actually shows up on the exam, because I've taken it, scored at the top, and broken down every question type.

What sets this apart
500+ AP Chem & 300+ APES practice questions
A large bank of CB-style MCQs and released FRQs built from real exam experience. Some are sourced directly from released CB exams; others are reworded or adapted to reflect what I've seen tested, so students aren't re-exposed to questions they may see on a classroom mock. I know what each question is designed to test, which means sessions are targeted, not random.
Exam pattern analysis
I've analyzed which topics and question types College Board tests most. We target high-yield areas, not everything equally.
Recently tested knowledge
I took these exams recently. I know exactly what tripped me up, what the rubrics reward, and how CB phrases trick questions.
Volunteer tutoring background
I've tutored students before. I know how to explain concepts in multiple ways until something clicks.
About me

A tutor who's still in it.

I'm a rising senior finishing up my last year of high school, which means everything I teach, I just lived through. The stress of AP season, the exact questions that trip people up, the way College Board phrases things to confuse you. I know it firsthand because it was my reality not long ago.

Education has always been a big part of my life. I've never been satisfied with just knowing that something works. I want to know why it works. My AP Chem teacher would tell you I stayed after class regularly just to dig deeper into concepts until they actually made sense. That curiosity is what I bring into every tutoring session.

Outside of academics, I'm a track athlete with a few things to show for it, including a 30-meter fly school record and the title of fastest Asian American in the Quad City 7, a conference of seven competitive high schools including Apex Friendship, Green Level, and Panther Creek. I'm also a certified soccer referee and a former soccer and baseball player. If you ever want to talk sports, I'm always down.

What I tutor

Two subjects,
done right.

I don't try to cover everything. I focus on the two AP science courses I know inside and out, so you get real expertise, not surface-level help.

Flagship

AP Chemistry

One of the hardest APs with a ~50% pass rate. Sessions draw from a bank of 500+ CB-style MCQ questions and released FRQs from past exams, plus additional FRQ resources on request. I know what each question is really testing, so we target the right skills, not just the right answers. Also available for lower-level chemistry and AP Chem head-start prep.

  • Atomic structure & periodicity
  • Stoichiometry & reactions
  • Thermodynamics (ฮ”G, ฮ”H, ฮ”S)
  • Equilibrium & Ksp
  • Electrochemistry & kinetics
  • Acids, bases & buffers
  • Bonding & intermolecular forces
  • Summer head-start available for students taking AP Chem next year or strengthening their Honors Chem foundation
Secondary

AP Environmental Science

More conceptual than calculation-heavy. Sessions pull from 300+ CB-style MCQ questions and released FRQs, scored against real CB rubrics. I understand what each question is designed to test, so we focus on the concepts that actually show up, not just broad topic review.

  • Earth systems & resources
  • The living world & biodiversity
  • Pollution & human impact
  • Global change & sustainability
  • FRQ strategy & practice
  • Data analysis & lab skills
  • Summer head-start available to get ahead on core concepts before the school year begins
How it works

Simple, honest pricing.

No hidden fees. No packages you have to commit to. Pay per session, cancel anytime.

AP Chemistry & APES

๐Ÿ“ Sessions are held at a location of your choice. I drive to nearby public libraries, coffee shops, or quiet spots in the area including West Regional Library and Morrisville Library.

1-on-1 session
$30
per hour โ€” most popular

Focused, personalized help tailored to exactly where you're stuck. Includes real CB-style practice questions.

Small group (2-4)

Summer Head-Start: AP Chem & APES
Getting a head start on AP Chem or APES? Whether you took Honors Chemistry and want to hit the ground running, or you're going straight into AP Chem with no prior experience, I offer summer prep sessions designed to cover the fundamentals that'll put you a step ahead before day one. For APES, we can get a jump on the big concepts like Earth systems, biodiversity, and human impact before the school year begins. The students who struggle most are often the ones who never built a strong foundation early. We fix that before it becomes a problem.
Middle School (Math, Science, Social Studies)
1-on-1 session
$20
per hour

Math, science, and social studies for middle schoolers. Great foundation building before high school.

Reach out if you need help with something not listed. I'll let you know if I can help.

01

Reach out

Fill out the contact form with your subject and what you need help with. I'll reply within 24 hours to set up a time.

02

Send a topic ahead

Before your session, let me know the unit or topic, even generally (e.g. "Unit 8" or "acids and bases"). This lets me prepare targeted CB-style practice questions specific to what you're covering.

03

Structured session

Every session follows a proven format, not just open Q&A. See the breakdown below.

04

Better test scores, more confidence, and real understanding, not just surface memorization.

What every 1-hour session looks like
5m
Tutor-student debrief
You tell me what you're struggling with: conceptual gaps, common errors you keep making, what your teacher covered. I listen before I teach.
35m
In-depth teaching
I explain the concept thoroughly with examples, visuals on the whiteboard, and worked problems. We go until it actually makes sense, not just until time is up.
15m
Mini quiz or mock test
You take a short CB-style quiz: MCQ, FRQ, or both depending on the topic. Questions are selected based on what College Board has historically tested most in that unit. No open notes.
5m
Review & wrap-up
We go over any missed questions together. You leave knowing exactly what you got wrong and why, not just the right answer.
๐Ÿ“‹
A note for parents
For the best session, please share the unit or topic your student is currently covering beforehand, even something general like "Unit 7" or "acids and bases" is enough. This allows me to prepare targeted, exam-quality practice questions specific to that material rather than pulling from a generic bank. The more specific, the better I can prepare.

Regarding practice materials: some questions are sourced from officially released College Board exams. Others are CB-style questions I've written or adapted, modeled on real exam patterns and topics, with wording adjusted so students aren't re-exposed to questions they may encounter on a classroom mock exam or future sitting.
