Summer Prep Classes
AP Chemistry
We are offering our summer prep class for AP Chemistry again! It will be taught by our lead tutor Alan who is a credential teacher with 12 years of teaching experience in AP, Honors & General Chemistry.
Get a competitive advantage and head start on one of the toughest AP science courses with someone who has taught AP Chemistry!
Topics we'll cover:
-Naming compounds, stoichiometry, limiting reactants, empirical & molecular formulas
-Mass spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, periodic trends
-Simple & advanced lewis structures, VSEPR, hybridization
-Intermolecular forces
-Kinetics, rate laws, mechanisms
-Specific/latent heat, bond enthalpy, Hess' law
-Equilibrium, Le Chatelier's Principle, K vs Q
-Titrations, H+/OH- concentration, pH table
-Common labs, tips for answering AP problems, test tips from AP graders
Details:
-8 classes in two weeks
-1 hour classes, 8 total hours via Zoom
-brief lecture, working through practice problems and AP FRQs
-daily homework includes problem sets, reading/videos to supplement instruction
-class size will be capped at 10 students
We will be holding a couple of info sessions to talk about the summer class and give parents/students a chance to ask any questions they may have. Fill out the "Pre-AP Form" below to get the Zoom link for the info session!
Honors Chemistry
We are offering our summer prep class for Honors Chemistry again! It will be taught by our lead tutor Alan who is a credential teacher with 12 years of teaching experience in AP, Honors & General Chemistry.
Get a competitive advantage and head start on Honors Chemistry this summer!

-Foundations: dimensional analysis, density (virtual lab), classifying substances
-Periodic table: families, traits of metals & nonmetals, atoms, isotopes & ions
-Electron configurations (abbreviated & orbital) & Periodic trends
-Bonding: Drawing lewis structures & naming compounds
-Conversions with moles, grams, molecules, atoms & particles
-Thermochemistry: specific & latent heat, phase diagrams & heat curves
-Solutions: Molarity, pH/pOH calculations
-Stoichiometry: mole to/from grams, limiting & excess reactants
Details:
-8 classes in two weeks
-1 hour classes, 8 total hours via Zoom
-brief lecture, working through practice problems
-daily homework includes problem sets, reading/videos to supplement instruction
