While most students experience trouble exploring basic chemical concepts, even more students struggle to apply fundamental knowledge to more in-depth Chemistry concepts. We’ve seen it all, and CATES Tutoring comes ready to provide the tools you need to achieve, whether it’s extra help with classwork, lessons, or test preparation.

What is Chemistry and Why is it Important to Study?

Chemistry is the field of science studying the matter and change. Through Chemistry, students will explore how the properties of matter react under certain conditions or changes while interacting with a different substance. As a central science, everything you see or do is based on chemical concepts and processes because it glues together other fields of science. For instance, the knowledge obtained in Chemistry can help technology and interdisciplinary science, like engineering, to develop innovative inventions and solutions. Students don’t have to become scientists, but they should have a fundamental understanding of scientific concepts, as this will unlock bountiful critical thinking skills.

Chemistry tutoring will not only help students earn higher exam grades, but it will amplify their understanding of long-form open-ended questions and abstract-subject comprehension. Virtual tutoring in Chemistry gives NYC students a more well-rounded foundation to take with them into college. This can also open them up to the world of science-based majors/minors and high paying job opportunities.

What are the Most Important Concepts in High School Chemistry?

Chemistry is a vast science that covers many different concepts. Basic Chemistry may be first introduced in the later stages of middle school science classes and progressing into general Chemistry during a student’s high school courses. Students often find themselves struggling because of the abstract subjects and Chemistry labs. In high school Chemistry classes, several concepts act as fundamental building blocks to the understanding of Chemistry including the periodic table of elements, the states of matter, acids and bases, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions.

Once mastered, these concepts can help high school students tackle more advanced Chemistry topics such as limiting reagents, the kinetic theory of gases, stoichiometry, and thermodynamics.

In addition to understanding fundamental Chemistry topics, high school students must combine reading comprehension skills from English class and concepts from math such as units of measure and algebra. Utilizing this skillset will allow high school students to exceed their testing goals, thereby giving them a competitive advantage on the Chemistry Subject Test or AP Chemistry exam.
