Dr. Mara: Catalyze Your Learning

in Chemistry

Acid-base calculations giving you trouble? Can't make sense of kinetics?

Chemistry connects to everything: biology, physics, medicine, engineering, and environmental science. If you understand chemistry, doors open.

My job is to make sure chemistry becomes a strength for you, whether you're pursuing a STEM career, heading to medical school, or just trying to pass your required coursework.

I have a PhD in Chemistry and have been tutoring chemistry and standardized test prep for over 10 years. My goal is to instill confidence through empathy and empowerment. 

I work with students at all levels—high school through college—and specialize in breaking down difficult concepts and test strategies through systematic problem-solving, making them clear and manageable.

So kind and supportive

Mara helped me so much with AP Chemistry. English is not my first language, but she explains everything patiently and in a way that is easy for me to understand. She is very kind and makes me feel comfortable asking questions. Because of her help, my understanding improved a lot and my grade went from a B to an A!! I’m truly grateful for her support.
