What the Chemistry Regents measures — quantitative reasoning, conceptual fluency, and Reference Table mastery.
Mole-ratio and mass-conversion problems set up confidently every time.
Connecting Bohr-model diagrams to ionization, bonding, and spectra.
Predicting polarity, geometry, and physical properties from structure.
Balancing, classifying, and predicting products of chemical reactions.
Solubility curves, heating curves, and reaction-rate graphs read accurately.
Knowing which of the ~12 Reference Tables answers which question type — instantly.
Multi-step Part C responses that earn full credit.
pH, neutralization, titration, and indicator selection.
Oxidation numbers, half-reactions, and cell direction.
Section 04
Common challenges on Chemistry Regents.
Section 05
A six-step path from diagnostic to test day, used with every Chemistry Regents student.
A full-length diagnostic establishes the student's true starting point across every tested area.
Results are mapped to specific subtopics — not just section scores — so the plan targets the right work.
Underlying content is rebuilt where needed so test strategies have something solid to stand on.
Curated, exam-aligned problems are worked through together on the digital whiteboard.
Pacing, elimination, and figure-reading techniques tuned to this exam's format.
Regular timed practice tests turn preparation into performance — and reveal exactly what to refine next.
Section 06
Why families choose Mr. Sharma for Chemistry Regents preparation.
Decades of one-on-one and classroom instruction across every level of mathematics and science.
Every session is built around the student in front of the camera — never a group class.
Students learn why the material works, not just which button to press.
Live, written, step-by-step instruction that mirrors a real classroom whiteboard.
Assignments written for the student's plan — never generic worksheets.
Clear, ongoing measurement so families see exactly where their student stands.
Sessions fit around school, sports, and family life — anywhere in the country.
Questions are welcomed, not rushed. Students learn to think out loud.
Every lesson connects back to how the concept actually appears on the exam.
