The TAS Chemistry Committee strives to help juniors thoroughly understand chemistry content so that they can succeed in their classes. We will provide detailed chemistry reviews with sample questions, one-on-one/group tutoring, and practice exams to test your knowledge. We hope that you will use these resources as you progress through chemistry. Feel free to reach out if you have questions!
Meet Your Committee Heads!
WILLIAM HUA
General Chemistry Committee Head
Greetings, William here. I will be one of your General Chemistry tutors for the 2022-2023 school year. I attended Seven Lakes High School before coming to TAMS. Although I study computer science here at TAMS, I am quite versed in chemistry. In addition to Gen Chem tutoring, I am also the robotics design/engineering captain for TAMSformers, our school's FRC team. In my free time, I enjoy playing video games. Some of my favorite titles are Dark Souls 1 Remastered, Borderlands 2, and Terraria. When I'm not in my room, you can find me playing ping pong in Smitty or working on the robot in the Makerspace.
As your Gen Chem tutor, I will be helping you with anything chemistry related. Of course, this means helping you with homework. However, please don't make me DO your homework - I quite despise ALEKS and McGrawhill. In addition, there will also be exam reviews, which I strongly encourage you to attend. My weekly office hours are from Thursday 7:00PM to 9:00PM, but I will gladly hold additional office hours upon request.
Feel free to contact me about anything, and I look forward to working with you this year!
