Private chemistry classes conducted in Stockton

Spanos Park, Lincoln Village, Brookside covered for chemistry tutoring

Anjali taught 21 days ago

The Student and Tutor reviewed cyclic compound nomenclature, conformational analysis (ring flips and stability), chirality, and optical activity. The Student practiced identifying chiral centers, naming complex cyclic structures, and determining stable conformers. They will continue practicing similar problems in the next session, focusing on topics that need more time and attention.

Cyclic Structure Nomenclature

Chair Conformations: Axial vs. Equatorial

Bulky Groups and Equatorial Preference

Cis and Trans Isomers in Cyclic Systems

Chiral Centers (Stereocenters)

Calculating Maximum Number of Stereoisomers

Specific Rotation and Optical Activity

Robert taught about 2 months ago

The Student and Tutor reviewed organic chemistry reaction mechanisms and problem-solving strategies in preparation for an upcoming exam. Topics included E2 reactions, hydrohalogenation, and reactions involving triple bonds. The session concluded with a discussion about scheduling the next meeting, taking into account the Thanksgiving holiday.

Hydrohalogenation of Alkenes: Markovnikov vs. Anti-Markovnikov

Simmons-Smith Reaction: Cyclopropane Formation

Dihalide Formation from Alkynes: Excess HBr

Alkyne Reduction: Cis-Alkene Formation with Lindlar's Catalyst

Alkyne Reduction: Complete Reduction with H₂/Pt

Carbocation Rearrangements: Hydride Shifts

E2 Elimination Reactions: Anti-Periplanar Requirement

Dr.Trusha taught 2 months ago

The Student and Tutor discussed the relationship between carbon oxidation states and fuel, recurring motifs in metabolic pathways, and essential features of signal transduction. The Tutor assigned the Student to send their lecture PowerPoints for further review and created plans to review specific topics and questions in the next sessions.

Oxidation State of Carbon and Fuel Usefulness

Recurring Motifs in Metabolic Pathways

Essential Features of Signal Transduction

Nikita taught 3 months ago

Nikita tutored a student from Arizona State University in Tempe on organic chemistry, specifically stereochemistry concepts such as R/S configuration, CIP rules, Fischer projections, stereoisomers, Newman and sawhorse projections, cyclohexane chair conformations, enantiomers, diastereomers, and meso compounds. They worked through mock exam questions, and Nikita will send them helpful tricks and structures related to the topics covered. The next lesson is scheduled for Thursday at the same time.

Dr.Trusha taught 3 months ago

Trusha and Anna commenced a lesson exploring stoichiometry, using a sandwich-making scenario to demonstrate limiting reactants. Unfortunately, technical issues interrupted their chemistry study, prompting them to reschedule for Wednesday.

Robert taught 3 months ago

Robert provided support to Katie for her biology coursework, delving into topics such as cell theory, the domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya), and the concept of LUCA. Their discussion also touched upon surface tension, the pepper and soap experiment, and the electrical conductivity of the human body. Katie plans to reattempt her quiz questions, and they have arranged a subsequent lesson to tackle scientific notation and unit conversions in preparation for an upcoming lab quiz.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fun, easy chemistry experiment I can do at home in Stockton?

Let's make "Disappearing Eggshell"! This shows how acids can affect materials, a very important concept for understanding water quality in the Delta. You'll Need: A raw egg (be careful not to crack it!) A clear glass or jar, big enough to hold the egg White vinegar The Experiment: 1. Gently place the raw egg in the bottom of the glass. 2. Pour in enough vinegar to completely cover the egg. 3. Watch closely! You'll see tiny bubbles forming all over the eggshell. Leave it for a full day (24 hours). 4. After a day, carefully pour out the old vinegar and pour in fresh vinegar. Leave it for one more day. 5. After the second day, carefully rinse the egg with water. The hard shell will be gone, leaving a rubbery, bouncy egg! What's Happening? Eggshells are made of calcium carbonate (a base). The vinegar (an acid) creates a chemical reaction that dissolves the shell, releasing carbon dioxide gas (the bubbles!). It shows how important it is to keep our Delta water from becoming too acidic, which can harm the shells of animals that live there.

Are there any local summer camps for a kid interested in science?

Yes! The University of the Pacific in Stockton often hosts a variety of academic and STEM-focused summer camps for different age groups. These are fantastic opportunities to get a feel for a college campus and do fun, hands-on science activities.

What are the "easy" topics in chemistry?

Learning the parts of an atom, how to read the periodic table, naming simple compounds, and balancing basic chemical equations.

Where can I get a chemistry degree in Stockton?

Stockton has an excellent local pathway to a four-year degree. University of the Pacific (UOP): UOP is a prestigious private university right here in Stockton with a highly respected Department of Chemistry. It offers American Chemical Society (ACS) certified degrees and is known for its small class sizes and undergraduate research opportunities. San Joaquin Delta College: Delta College is a fantastic community college and the perfect place to start your journey. You can take all your foundational chemistry, physics, and math classes in a supportive environment before seamlessly transferring to UOP or a CSU or UC school.

Are there different kinds of chemistry?

Yes, many! The main five are: Organic Chemistry (the chemistry of carbon and life), Inorganic Chemistry (metals and minerals), Analytical Chemistry (the "detective" chemistry of what stuff is made of), Physical Chemistry (the physics of chemistry), and Biochemistry (the chemistry of life).

What key topics to study for the Chemistry Olympiad (USNCO) exam?

The USNCO is a comprehensive exam covering the full range of first-year college chemistry, including stoichiometry, bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, and introductory organic and inorganic chemistry.
