About Steven

I’m Steven Nystrom, Ph.D., a chemical engineer, researcher, and educator with over 14 years of teaching and tutoring experience across general chemistry, organic chemistry, and chemical engineering–level coursework.

I hold a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida and have taught or assisted in more than 11 university courses, earning the Ray W. Fahien Graduate Teaching Award for excellence in instruction. Ohio State University is where I obtained a degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a minor in physics.

My background spans both cutting-edge research—including computational chemistry, catalysis, and molecular modeling—and hands-on teaching, which allows me to explain chemistry in a way that is both rigorous and intuitive.

I’ve worked extensively with students who feel overwhelmed by chemistry, helping them quickly recognize problem-solving patterns before building a deeper conceptual understanding.

For students who are "behind" or feel stressed by chemistry, we take a conversational approach when first discussing new topics - no note-taking or overthinking to keep stress down. Then we will repeat prototypical problems over and over with increasing complexity so that only 1 new concept is brought in at a time.

I have MANY real-world "fascinating" examples of chemistry I tie into the lesson to help the brain form connections from chemistry to the outside world - which helps recall and educated guessing on exams.

If one is trying to master the material we will go into depth, explaining the "why" of mechanisms or processes often getting into the basics of quantum mechanics since it is the driving force of chemistry.
