by Danique Gigger, CWLT chem tutor

Hi! I’m Danique and I’m one of the Chemistry tutors. Chemistry can seem like a daunting subject to many students, but it can really be a LOT of FUN too!

If you are having trouble enjoying what chemistry has to offer, check out Chem Club, the annual Chemistry magic show, chat with your professors about what they love about chemistry, etc. By developing some connection with the subject, you’ll be more invested in the learning process and less concerned about fulfilling a degree requirement.

Nonetheless, Chemistry can still be tricky to understand. My number one recommendation for students who are finding an area of Chemistry difficult is to find a study partner or two to work with. It really benefits working through homework problems and studying for exams with others. They can clarify areas you may find difficult, and vice versa. By teaching each other, you both are able to develop a deeper meaning of the concepts.

And don’t forget – professors, the CWLT tutors and SAACS tutors are all available to help you!
