NYU's leading chemistry tutors
The NYU Chemistry Experts
We've been helping NYU students master chemistry, math, and physics since 2010. To date, we have worked with hundreds of NYU students and know the chemistry curriculum like no other tutors do. Over the years, we have become some of the most sought-after tutors in New York.
Fall 2026 update: We offer tutoring both in-person and remotely.

Student Testimonials
Kevin tutors in a no-nonsense, speedy, experience-proven manner. This is why I return to him throughout my undergraduate and post-graduate education! He provides a strategic and personalized approach to each of his students, and I am sure to see phenomenal results with him in the future (and have already in the past). He's by far the best tutor I've ever worked with.

Allison has been extremely helpful with chemistry. She does a great job of breaking down difficult concepts and explaining them in a way that is clear and easy to understand. She is also very patient with all of my questions and always makes sure I understand the material before moving on. After our sessions, I feel much more confident with the topics we’ve covered and better prepared for class. I’ve really enjoyed working with Allison and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great chemistry tutor!
-Ramit
Over the last few years, Alex and Luka have been the most incredible and reliable sources of academic support that I could ask for. I am so grateful for all of their lessons, which consistently help me succeed on assessments and attain a deeper understanding of my coursework. They go above and byeond what is asked of a tutor by constantly answering questions over email and text, and sending me additional practice problems tailored to the content that I am studying. Thank you to Alex and Luka for making my most difficul tclasses intuitive and understandable.
