AP & High School Chemistry

Online AP Chemistry coaching from someone who teaches it right now.

Not a marketplace tutor. An active AP Chemistry classroom teacher who knows the course, the exam, and the exact problems your student is facing — coaching online, one student at a time.

The honest reality

AP Chemistry is one of the hardest AP courses a student will take.

Fewer than 1 in 5 students who sit for the AP Chemistry exam score a 5. The course moves fast, the concepts build on each other, and a gap in week three can quietly derail everything that comes after it.

The problem

Gaps compound quietly

AP Chemistry units build on each other. A student who does not fully understand stoichiometry will struggle with equilibrium. A student who struggles with equilibrium will struggle with acids and bases. By the time the problem is visible, there are three units to untangle.

The problem

Classroom pace does not slow down

AP courses move at a pace designed for the May exam, not for the student who needed one more day to solidify a concept. A weekly coaching session catches those moments before they become month-long setbacks.

The solution

One person who knows exactly where they are

Adrianne has the student's syllabus, knows which unit is currently being taught, and knows which exam is coming. Every session is targeted to what they actually need that week — not a generic AP Chemistry review.

What's covered

Every unit of the AP Chemistry curriculum.

Coaching follows your student's actual class, not a predetermined order. These are the AP Chemistry units we work through:

Unit 1 — Atomic Structure & Properties

Moles, mass, atomic structure, spectroscopy, electron configuration, periodic trends.

Unit 2 — Molecular & Ionic Bonding

Ionic and covalent bonding, intermolecular forces, VSEPR, hybridization, bond energy.

Unit 3 — Intermolecular Forces & Properties

Properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Solutions, spectroscopy, chromatography.

Unit 4 — Chemical Reactions

Reaction types, net ionic equations, stoichiometry, limiting reagents.

Unit 5 — Kinetics

Reaction rates, rate laws, elementary steps, Arrhenius equation, catalysis.

Unit 6 — Thermodynamics

Enthalpy, Hess's law, calorimetry, entropy, Gibbs free energy.

Unit 7 — Equilibrium

Equilibrium expressions, ICE tables, Le Chatelier's principle, solubility equilibria.

Unit 8 — Acids & Bases

pH, Ka and Kb, buffers, titrations, acid-base equilibria.

Unit 9 — Electrochemistry

Galvanic cells, electrolysis, Faraday's law, standard reduction potentials, Nernst equation.

Common questions

AP Chemistry coaching, answered.

A tutor helps with tonight's homework. A coach knows the full arc of the course, tracks where a student is across the semester, and builds their understanding in a way that compounds. Adrianne asks for the syllabus and exam calendar before session one. She arrives prepared, not improvising.
No. Starting mid-semester means there is less runway, but targeted coaching can still make a real difference before finals or the AP exam. If a spot is available in the current cohort, we start where your student is.
Six per semester, maximum. That limit is real and it is enforced. When the cohort is full, a waitlist opens for the following semester.
Life happens. With enough notice, sessions can be rescheduled to Sunday. Missed sessions without notice are forfeited — Saturdays are the only dedicated coaching window and cannot be extended to accommodate double sessions the following week.
No — and any coach who says otherwise is not being straight with you. What Adrianne can guarantee is that she shows up prepared, knows the course, stays all semester, and is reachable between sessions. The rest depends on the work the student puts in.
