“Every problem starts with a long pause about which number to divide.”
Moles and stoichiometry
One idea used four ways, drilled until the conversions stop being a decision and become a reflex.

Lowest rate anyone charges
Where a student's math shows up wearing a lab coat. The concepts are usually fine; the unit conversions and the mole are what quietly take the grade.

What you’ll work on
Five things people say before they book.
One of them is usually the reason. The topic underneath is what a tutor would put the first month into.
/02
“Bond types are memorised per compound instead of predicted.”
Atomic structure and bonding
Electron configuration through to why a molecule has the shape it does, with the periodic table read rather than recited.
/03
“Equations balance correctly only when the answer is already known.”
Reactions and equations
Balancing, reaction types, and predicting products — the part that rewards pattern recognition more than arithmetic.
/04
“Le Chatelier can be stated and not applied to an unfamiliar system.”
Gases, solutions and equilibrium
The gas laws as one relationship, then concentration, then Le Chatelier read as a prediction rather than a phrase.
/05
“pH calculations work for strong acids and stop for weak ones.”
Acids, bases and titration
pH, strong against weak, and the titration curve that shows up on every exam and confuses most students the first three times.
None of them quite it?
Bring the syllabus, the textbook or the last score report to a first lesson. Every Chemistry tutor here plans against what you actually have, not against a standard course.
How a first lesson is runWho teaches it
Chemistry, taught by 3 of these 186.
In whichever order you find useful. Thirty minutes with any of them is free, so meeting two before you choose costs nothing but the evening.
What it costs
Priced by level, not by subject.
Tutors set their own rate and Saal adds nothing on top of it. These are the bands they set it inside, the same in every subject, and the lowest anyone charges to teach Chemistry is $34/hr.
Move or cancel any lesson up to twelve hours ahead at no charge, and the card is charged the morning after a lesson happens. Packages and refunds.
Your first thirty minutes
Thirty free minutes, and this is what they are for.
01
One stoichiometry problem
Worked out loud, so the tutor can hear where the pause is. It is almost always the same place.
The terms, in full
- Free
- 30 minutes
- No card asked for
02
Check the math underneath
Scientific notation, ratios, rearranging a formula. Two minutes, and it explains a lot of chemistry grades.
It will be one of these five
- Moles and stoichiometry
- Atomic structure and bonding
- Reactions and equations
- Gases, solutions and equilibrium
- Acids, bases and titration
