Chemistry tutor in Fremont, CA
Dr. Navneet Sahota is a Fremont-based chemistry tutor with a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Indiana University Bloomington, who taught undergraduate chemistry at university level for nearly a decade. She works one-on-one with students from Fremont's high schools and from Ohlone College on AP Chemistry, Honors and regular chemistry, and college general chemistry — in person across Fremont or online — and runs small semester-long group classes in Fremont. One-on-one is $125 to $200 an hour depending on the course level.

Chemistry sits in 10th or 11th grade for most Fremont Unified students, with AP Chemistry typically taken in 11th or 12th. Fremont is an unusually competitive academic environment — Mission San Jose in particular sends large AP cohorts every year — and that has a specific consequence: a student can be genuinely good at chemistry and still be sitting at the middle of a very strong curve, which is demoralising in a way that has nothing to do with their actual understanding.
Tutoring is worth considering when the gap is real, and worth not buying when it is not. That is what the free 20-minute call is for — you will get a straight answer about which it is.
★★★★★
“Best tutor. She really cares for her students and we are so lucky to have found her for our son. Our son went to 3 different tutors in the last one year and since he has started with Dr. Sahota, not only has his grade improved but also his conceptual understanding and confidence.”

Ohlone & college general chemistry

In person or online?
Both work. In-person sessions suit younger students and anyone who focuses better with someone in the room. Online sessions save the drive, save the worked whiteboard for later review, and are easier to fit around a packed Fremont extracurricular schedule. Many families do in-person during the school year and online over the summer.
