I'm Erone Cao, a Chemistry tutor with a Bachelors's degree and over a year of experience. I specialize in various Chemistry subjects like Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, and more. My tailored approach includes real-world applications, visual aids, and personalized learning plans. From elementary to college levels, I offer career guidance, lab skills, test prep strategies, and engaging review sessions. Let's explore the wonders of Chemistry together for a brighter academic future!
Chemistry class overview
My personalized tutoring approach incorporates hands-on learning, patience, and visual aids to ensure a deep conceptual understanding of subjects like Chemical Reactions, Atomic Structure, and Biochemistry. Using tech tools such as digital whiteboards, interactive diagrams, and video conferencing, I create interactive lessons tailored to the A-Levels (UK), AP Program (USA), and IB curriculum. With a diverse audience of 50+ students from Elementary to College levels, I adapt my teaching style to meet the unique needs of each individual, fostering a supportive environment where analytical thinking and problem-solving skills flourish.

Chemistry concepts taught by Erone
The Student reviewed various chemistry topics, including nomenclature, density calculations, percent composition, acid-base titrations, gas laws, and Hess's Law, in preparation for a final exam. The Student practiced problem-solving techniques and identifying relevant formulas. As homework, the Student was assigned multiple-choice questions from a practice exam to identify areas needing further review, and to bring notes that require review.
Nomenclature with Transition Metals
Density Calculations from Word Problems
Hess's Law
Ideal Gas Law with Vapor Pressure
Acid-Base Titration Calculations
Molecular Formula Determination using Percent Composition
The Student and Tutor reviewed Newman projections, chair conformations, and isomer identification. The Student practiced identifying the most stable chair conformations and determining the relationships between different isomers. The next session will cover the remaining questions from section 5.4.
Newman Projections
Chair Conformations: Cis and Trans Isomers
Chair Confirmation Stability
Isomers: Constitutional
Stereoisomers
and Identical
E/Z Nomenclature
The Student and Tutor worked through stoichiometry exercises, focusing on conversions between grams, moles, and molecules, as well as balancing chemical equations. The Student practiced using Avogadro's number and molar mass in calculations. They also discussed approaching future exercises independently and checking the work later.
Avogadro's Number and the Mole
Handling Fractions in Balanced Equations
Using Ratios within Molecules
Balancing Chemical Equations
Percent Natural Abundance
Stoichiometry: Converting Between Mass
Moles
and Atoms/Molecules
The Student and Tutor practiced calculating relative abundances of isotopes and worked on nomenclature of chemical compounds, including ionic, molecular, and acids. They also reviewed polyatomic ions and hydrates, focusing on identifying and naming these compounds based on their chemical formulas. The Tutor provided a cheat sheet of polyatomic ions to aid in future practice.
Transition Metal Charges
Hydrates: Naming and Formula
Acids: Identification and Naming
Molecular Compounds: Identification and Naming
Ionic Compounds: Identification and Naming
Relative Abundance Calculation
Average Atomic Mass
The Student reviewed pre-lab calculations and safety procedures for a calorimetry lab experiment. They practiced calculating energy changes, converting between units, and interpreting experimental design. The Student will complete the pre-lab safety review and calculations, and the next session will focus on test preparation, specifically reviewing chapters 2 and 3.
Converting Between Joules and Kilojoules
Using a Graph to Find Values
Endothermic vs. Exothermic Reactions
Heat Energy Calculation: Q = mcΔT
Density and Mass Calculation
Graphing Data and Determining Relationships
The student and tutor reviewed thermochemistry concepts, including Hess's Law and heat calculations. The student practiced applying Hess's Law to determine enthalpy changes and converting grams to moles to calculate heat released. They also discussed lab safety and procedures, and scheduled a follow-up session to continue working on lab assignments.
Heat (q) Calculation
Hess's Law
Enthalpy (ΔH) of Reaction
Stoichiometry and Enthalpy
