About Christopher Toher

Under my guidance, as a Chemistry tutor, hundreds of students have increased both grades and confidence across multiple high -school and college Chemistry courses.  Over a decade in industry, a quarter century as a classroom educator, and authorship of standardized-test questions all fuel my targeted assessment of student understanding and elimination of barriers to learning. I tutored my first Chemistry student in 1991 and taught my first Chemistry class in 2000. Generations of my students have earned a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam, solved the most challenging problems in both General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry and, due, in part, to their Chemistry success, now thrive in their dream careers. You are next!
