This was my first experience with chemistry, and I was very intimidated. By the end, I loved it. It became my favorite class.

Parents
- “I don’t want to wait for the first failed test.”
- “My student understands in class but freezes on the homework.”
- “AP Chemistry already feels faster than last year’s science class.”
- “I want a real plan before chemistry affects the GPA.”
I work with high school students in General, Honors, and AP Chemistry — and I prep for every single session based on exactly where your student is stuck.
College Students
- “The syllabus is moving faster than high school chemistry ever did.”
- “Chemistry is a gateway to my major. I need to stay ahead.”
- “I want a study plan before the first exam, not after it.”
- “I need someone who knows what college chemistry professors expect.”
I teach General Chemistry at the college level. I know exactly what your professor wants — and where the gaps between high school and college chem actually are.
Find your level. Fill the gaps.
Every session is built around what you don’t understand yet — not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. You submit your topic 48 hours ahead, I come prepared.

What students remember.
Anonymous student feedback, shared with permission.
I always felt that almost all of my questions were answered by the end of class. The way you presented the math made my experience so much easier.
It was the most active class I’ve ever been in. It was easy to ask questions about things I didn’t understand.

My Story
I’ve been in that seat. I know exactly where it breaks.
I started tutoring chemistry right out of college because I saw students hitting the same walls over and over — and nobody was explaining it the right way. That turned into Tutoring Formula LLC, and eventually into a decade in the classroom.
Today I teach AP Chemistry in the same room as a mentor who spent 50 years in that chair. I’ve built curriculum for school districts, taught at the college level, and I’m finishing my doctorate in Curriculum Design. I know what works — and what doesn’t.
Read My Full StoryThe student who’s struggling isn’t behind. They’re just missing the bridge — and building that bridge is what 18 years in the classroom actually taught me. — Adrianne Penullar, M.S., M.Ed.
Why Work With Me
Not just a tutor — a curriculum designer.
I don’t improvise your sessions. I build them — the same way I build curriculum for schools.
Dual Master’s Degrees
M.S. Chemistry Education + M.Ed. Educational Research. I understand both the science and how people actually learn it.
K–16 Teaching
I teach high school and college simultaneously. I know exactly where the gaps between those two levels are — because I live in both worlds.
Chemistry Specialist
Not a generalist. Not a grad student. A specialist with nearly two decades of focused, classroom-tested chemistry experience.
You Prepare. I Prepare.
Submit your homework or topic 48 hours before your session. I show up with materials built around exactly where you are — not where I assume you are.

AP Chemistry
Why AP Chemistry Is Hard (And What to Actually Do About It)
AP Chemistry’s reputation is earned — but it’s misunderstood in a way that causes students to prepare wrong. Here’s what’s actually happening.
College Chemistry
Why You’re Failing Gen Chem — And It’s Usually One of These Three Things
If your grades aren’t reflecting how hard you’re working, you’re probably not doing the wrong things. It almost always comes back to one of three patterns.
Tutoring
How to Tell If Your Student Needs a Chemistry Tutor (Not Just More Practice)
More studying isn’t always the answer. Here’s how to tell when a chemistry tutor will actually help — and what to look for when you’re choosing one.
