I teach chemistry at community colleges part-time and tutor high school students especially AP Chemistry and IB Chemistry. I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. My aptitude for teaching became evident when I was a teaching assistant, while also pursuing my doctoral degree. I have 5 years experience teaching at community colleges in Texas and Bellevue. I enjoy teaching at community colleges because of the smaller student teacher ratio relative to big universi...

Dr. C is a very patient tutor getting to the root of the issue by asking my daughter some smart initial questions. She spent time listening to the types of problems from the teacher and had some sample questions to work through. My daughter felt confident taking her quiz the next day.

Our son had two sessions with Annapurna so far and we are very happy so far. Annapurna is able to quickly identify gaps in knowledge and provide clear explanation and strategy to tackle them.

Dr. C is the best! She is able to guide students in a way that draws their knowledge from them and builds upon it with her expertise of the subject. She get my introverted student speaking up and participating fully in lessons. In our first 2 lessons with her (for a Chem mid-term), my daughter learned so much! Her confidence in the subject matter grew exponentially and she achieved an A on her mid term. Dr. C cheered with us at the results! She?s an excellent, EXCELLENT tutor.

Dr. C is really helpful. She can boost my daughter's confidence in her AP Chemistry class and able to raise her grade for quiz and tests. She also goes beyond the class to review my daughter's assignment and schedule to plan the lesson specific for her needs. Thank you Dr. C!

Annapurna is a great Chemistry tutor and I cannot recommend her highly enough for AP Chemistry or any other Chemistry class! My daughter who is striving for a 5 on the AP exam absolutely loved working with her. Annapurna has been helping my daughter for the past several months. After researching tutors' backgrounds for a lengthy period, we finally found Annapurna and had a great initial conversation with her. It was clear that Annapurna was well qualified not only in teaching the subject matter, but also in her knowledge of the AP Exam and process. Although the AP Exam was several months way, my daughter began having general sessions with Annapurna to strengthen her overall knowledge of the subject matter to help her in class. Annapurna was extremely organized and thoughtful in her approach to teaching the subject matter. Annapurna's strengths are (i) she is extremely knowledgeable in the subject matter; (ii) she has great experience in teaching remotely and has a variety of visuals which assist her in teaching which is important in a subject like Chemistry; (iii) she is very strong at allowing her student to think and talk through ideas instead of just presenting vast amounts of difficult materials; and (iv) her focus in teaching is to get her student to understand the underlying concepts, which ultimately translates into better academic results. I have two younger sons who will eventually study with Annapurna as well. She is a standout in the tutoring field!

I have had Dr. C for 2 units of chemistry now, and I have made perfect marks on both tests with her help and teaching. She explains difficult concepts in ways I can understand without skipping out on any complexity and oversimplifying ideas. Dr. C also open to my questions and answers them thoroughly, and she also provides study materials and FRQs for application of the concepts she teaches. She is definitely one of the reasons I have an A in AP Chemistry. If you are struggling with AP Chemistry and are reaching for an A, I would recommend Dr. C as your tutor.

Annapurna helped me understand the lab and work with me to ensure I was able to complete it. Very patient!
- Nomaris P. from Pittsburgh, PA
She goes at a good pace and ensures that students have understood everything. She goes over it again and checks if anything needs more explanation.
- Suma M. from Boothwyn, PA
Dr. C is an amazing AP chem tutor! She not only covers current class information but she also helps you move ahead to ensure further understanding while learning it in class. She helps with homework and test review, and will be helping me study for the actual AP test as well. She is easy to talk to and understands where you are as a student and a person. I highly recommend her as your tutor!!
- Stacia P. from Redmond, WA
Annapurna is very knowledgeable and explains very clearly. She was very helpful in answering questions and clarifying important points. Highly recommended and we may repeat.
- Sina M. from San Diego, CA
Annapurna genuinely cares about her student. This is my daughter's second lesson with her and she's going above and beyond to ensure my daughter understands the basics.
- Jackie L. from Redmond, WA
Annapurna knew immediately how to assist my daughter?s advanced IB Chemistry course needs. My daughter is having success in class and on her work, as well as deeper understanding of IB Chemistry based on Annapurna tutoring sessions. I would highly recommend her as a chemistry tutor. -Molly W.

I learned about Equilibrium. It was a concept that was difficult for me to understand, but after a tutoring session, I was able to understand the topic better. I really like the way she teaches with slides, so that you can follow along.
- Linda S. from Chicago, IL
ANNAPURNA is a wonderful tutor! She is intelligent, patient and nice. She helped my son learn three chapters of Chemistry in two hours the day before his final exams. My son is much more confident in Chemistry since they worked together. I wish we knew about her earlier, she would have made the year much smoother!
- Mechelle C. from Feasterville Trevose, PA
Dr. C. really knows her stuff. Better yet, she really know how to teach. What an incredible first session! I've been struggling with chemistry all term and in an hour she gave me a new way to see what we have covered and prepared me for my final exam. I plan to see her throughout the next semester. She's great.
- Mickey B. from Kirkland, WA
I was looking for a tutor after struggling in my first semester of AP Chemistry, and Dr. C has been exactly what I was looking for and more. Her sessions are clear and concise, and she has provided me with a lot of different resources to study with. Before my session, she asks what topics I am studying and prepares a well-organized lesson plan and notes for me. She also has been very accommodating with my hectic schedule and is very quick to respond to emails. Because of her, I have regained confidence in my chemistry skills. I could not recommend her enough!!
- Karen F. from Bellevue, WA
My daughter was happy with Annapurna as she received exactly what she was looking for. The instructions were very clear and Annapurna made sure she understood everything.
- Sona C. from Sammamish, WA
A gifted teacher who loves her subject matter and is able to individualize her instruction to meet her student's learning needs. Very organized, well-prepared, communicative, and enthusiastic. Very student-centered.
- Natalie H. from Sammamish, WA
Annapurna, or Dr. C, has been an amazing tutor. She makes concepts very easy to understand. She can take 1 week's worth of lectures and teach you all the concepts in 45 minutes! I was struggling in my college chemistry class, but now after Dr.C 's help, the professor regularly request me to assist during lectures and work example problems on the board. Thanks to Dr.C, I will be passing my Engineering Chemistry class this quarter with flying colors.
- Samantha B. from Duarte, CA
Annapurna has really helped my daughter understand Chemistry concepts more clearly. Just one lesson a week has made a big difference in her understanding, anxiousness about the subject, and preparation for tests. Thank you so much Anna for your time and help!
