Welcome to Julia the Chemistry Tutor!
​I am Julia Maak. I specialize in personalized chemistry tutoring services, in-person or online, for undergraduate and high-school level chemistry students as well as dosage calculations for nursing students.
​
I have a Bachelors Degree in Biochemistry from the University of Northern Colorado. I worked in industry doing nutritional analysis for five years before changing my career to education. I retired from Sierra College in Northern California where I worked for a little over 20 years prepping chemistry labs on three campuses, assisting instructors in labs, and tutoring our General and Allied Health Chemistry courses.
​
I have a plethora of experience tutoring thousands of students. I have heard every question asked in every possible way. I know multiple ways of explaining the topics to help you understand and utilize the information to pass your Chemistry courses. ​I believe every student should be able to pass chemistry and enjoy the journey!​

Julia was my chemistry tutor when I was taking my prerequisites for acceptance to nursing school.
Having only my GED, and without ever having taken chemistry in high school, I had a difficult road ahead of me. My acceptance into nursing school was dependent on the grades I got from my prerequisites, and I was competing with people who had actually finished high school. I literally had one shot to get it right.
Fortunately I found Julia, and because of her I got straight A’s and was accepted to two different nursing schools. I was the only person in my cohort who did not have a high school diploma.
Julia not only made chemistry feel easy, she made it fun. I enjoyed my weekly sessions with her, and gained the confidence I would need to make it through nursing school.
Now, some 15 years later, I am a nurse practitioner, and will be opening my own practice soon. And it all started with Julia. I am forever grateful!

Because of Julia, I was at the top of each of the classes (something that is not typical for me in general, let alone in a Chemistry class!)
Even more important than the good grades, Julia gave me real, lasting, applicable knowledge, and understanding of Chemistry. For every topic she helped me learn, she also had ways of applying them to the real world. I went from thinking I disliked Chemistry, and would not use it in 'real life,' to seeing it all around me in my daily living. Julia gave me an entire new lens with which to view the world!
Julia is always extremely organized and prepared for every session. She makes sure you get the most out of every hour with her. I worked with Julia for 2 semesters, and I left every session I had with her feeling so much better & more confident than I had felt going into that session! Anytime I needed help outside of our sessions, Julia would always respond and take time to help me with each question.
She has a ton of worksheets with worked out answers and studying tools that she has created herself. I found these to be much more helpful than any of the other in-class or online resources given.
I never thought I would say this but because of Julia I actually miss Chemistry!"​
