College Chemistry Tutoring

Are you struggling in your chemistry courses? Are you at your wits end, unsure of how to master the course material? Have you ever considered a tutor? If so, you're in the right place! Below we will provide general information about college chemistry courses and specific details and links to Montana State University chemistry courses. We'll also reassure you that our experienced team of chemistry tutors can help you with your college chemistry course, whether you're an MSU student or not!

Why Do You Need to Take Chemistry?

Many college majors necessitate a substantial understanding of chemistry, as the principles of this science are foundational to various fields. Some of these majors include:

  • Biochemistry: A blend of biology and chemistry focusing on the chemical processes within and related to living organisms.

  • Environmental Science: Deals with understanding chemical processes in ecosystems and the impact of pollutants.

  • Chemical Engineering: Combines chemistry, physics, math, and economics to effectively produce and use chemicals.

  • Biological Engineering: Combines biology and engineering to develop technologies for human health and the environment, covering topics such as biomaterials, bioprocess engineering, genetic engineering, bioinformatics, and environmental biotechnology.

  • Biomedical Engineering: Integrates engineering principles with biological and medical sciences to design and create solutions for healthcare challenges, such as medical devices and imaging systems.

  • Nutrition: Focuses on the study of dietary practices, nutrient functions, and the relationship between food, health, and wellness to improve public health and individual well-being.

  • Kinesiology: Studies the mechanics of body movements and the effects of physical activity on health, performance, and well-being, preparing students for careers in fitness, rehabilitation, and sports management.

College Chem Courses We Can Tutor In

Our local Bozeman university, Montana State University (MSU) offers a considerable number of introductory chemistry courses. The specific course requirements depend on each student's major program.

At MSU, each CHMY (Chemistry) course is typically divided into lectures, laboratories, and recitations. Lectures provide a platform for instructors to present theoretical concepts and explain their application in real-life scenarios. Laboratories allow students to apply the theoretical concepts learned in lectures through hands-on experiments. Recitations provide an opportunity for students to review lecture material, ask questions, and work on practice problems.

Below is a summary of the most common chemistry courses that students request tutoring in. All of this information has been sourced from the Montana State University Academic Catalog. For more information about MSU Chemistry courses, click here.

  • CHMY 121IN Introduction to General Chemistry/CHMY 122IN Lab: Covers measurement systems, atomic structure, bonding, reactions, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Includes common hour exams.

  • CHMY 123 Introduction to Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry/CHMY 124 Lab: Covers functional group chemistry, reactivity, and biochemical structures and processes. Must be taken with CHMY 124, the accompanying lab course.

  • CHMY 141 College Chemistry I/CHMY 142 Lab: First of a two-semester sequence covering atomic structure, bonding, periodic table, equilibria, reactivity, and kinetics. Includes common hour exams.

  • CHMY 143 College Chemistry II/CHMY 144 Lab: Second semester covering solutions, kinetics, equilibria, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.

  • CHMY 151 Honors College Chemistry I/CHMY 152 Lab: Advanced general chemistry with an emphasis on critical and analytical thought. Requires higher math skills and prior chemistry knowledge.

  • CHMY 153 Honors College Chemistry II/CHMY 154 Lab: Continuation of CHMY 151 with advanced topics and analytical emphasis.

  • CHMY 211 Elements of Organic Chemistry/CHMY212 Lab: One-semester introduction to major organic chemistry topics including bonding, structure, and reactivity.

  • CHMY 321 Organic Chemistry I/CHMY322 Lab: First of a two-semester sequence covering conformational analysis, stereochemistry, and organic reactivity.
