Over the last two years of your high school career you’re typically faced with an onslaught of standardized tests. While many of these, such as the SAT, ACT, or SAT II tests are required as part of your college application package, the AP exams are somewhat unique in that they can actually affect your college coursework by placing you into higher ...
We’ve spent some time in past weeks here talking about how to approach a degree in chemistry, but what we haven’t really talked about is what you can do with that degree. Certainly, chemistry majors (and Ph. Ds) can follow academic careers, either as chemistry tutors, school teachers or research professors, but these opportunities aren’t really ...
One of the most common general chemistry lab experiments, both in advanced high school classes as well as introductory college courses, is the identification of a series of unknown chemicals. As a chemistry tutor, I am well equipped to break it down for you.
While some may feel that no graduate students can adequately describe their research to a non-specialist in a few minutes, organic chemists (specifically, synthetic organic chemists) often find themselves at a much larger disadvantage for making casual conversation about what we do. Even as chemistry tutors who are used to teaching and talking ...
Organic chemistry can be frustrating, but it doesn't have to be if you find an able chemistry tutor or study group to help you with your class. Not sure where to start? Sign up for a free consultation!
Let’s take a closer look that what constitutes an application, and what you’ll want to focus on as you get your applications together. While some schools have slightly different variations on this theme, generally, your application for a graduate degree in chemistry will consist of, in order from most to least important:
Your author is not only a chemistry tutor, but is more than three years in towards a doctoral degree in organic chemistry. For advanced chemistry students, a frequent question is “Do I need to go to grad school?” The short answer is, yes, for chemistry majors grad school is essentially a requirement. But that being said, it is a lot of school, and ...
As a chemistry tutor here in Cambridge, one of the questions I’m frequently asked is “What is chemistry like in college?”
