Chemistry Tutor from UC Berkeley Offering Engaging Lessons with Interactive Approach for Grad Students

Erone assisted Hannah with her chemistry lab report, focusing on writing and balancing molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations for various reaction types. They worked through several examples, applying solubility rules and identifying spectator ions. The session also covered responsible AI usage and concluded with Erone sending Hannah the completed examples for review.

Erone is helping Gurveer prepare for a chemistry final covering gas laws, aqueous solutions, stoichiometry, Hess's Law, and solubility. They work through practice problems involving calculations of moles, mass, mole fractions, delta H, and balancing equations. They also discuss factors affecting dissolving rates and calculating average atomic mass. Gurveer focuses on identifying keywords to select the correct equations and struggles with the solubility of gases, particularly the effect of temperature.

Erone Cao tutored Andrew Webster on periodic trends, effective nuclear charge, and Slater's rules. Andrew practiced identifying trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, and electron affinity, and worked through quiz questions using Slater's rules to calculate effective nuclear charge. Erone provided detailed explanations and diagrams to clarify concepts and problem-solving strategies.

Erone tutored Milla on various chemistry topics, including orbital overlap, electron configurations, reaction kinetics, and formal charges, to help her prepare for an upcoming test. Milla worked through practice problems and received explanations to clarify confusing concepts. They also briefly discussed Milla's nine-page lab report, with plans to address it in a future session.

Erone Cao tutored Hannah Simons on chemical nomenclature and empirical formula determination, including percentage composition and combustion analysis problems. Hannah completed her homework with Erone's guidance. They tentatively planned to meet the next day to review a practice test if it becomes available, and Hannah will email her instructor about it.

Erone Cao tutored Milla Cockett on chemical bonding concepts, including Lewis structures, VSEPR theory, and sigma/pi bonds, to prepare her for an upcoming chemistry test. Milla practiced drawing Lewis structures and predicting molecular shapes using a simulator. They scheduled follow-up sessions to cover orbital overlap and address Milla's remaining questions.
