The biggest issue with virtual instruction is that too many educators who were suddenly thrown into a virtual classroom were not prepared to engage or work with students they could not directly interact with. Virtually There Teaching solves this by teaching the content in a way that is relevant, easy to understand, and pertinent to the student. Video pop ups, an always present instructor, and an emphasis on engaging with the learner ensure the viewer feels very much a part of the instruction.
Virtually There Teaching is an online platform with on-demand chemistry lessons designed to make tough chemistry concepts easier to understand at your own pace, whether you are in high school or college. Lessons are bite-sized, easy to understand 10 to 15 minute videos that provide clear guidance and understanding of a topic.
Students struggling in middle school, high school, or college STEM chemistry classes who want clear, concise explanations, better grades, and improved confidence. These videos also work well for working adults going back for a different career path or a certification in the medical fields.
Core chemistry topics like gas laws, thermochemistry, balancing reactions, acids and bases, kinetics, equilibrium, and more. These are concepts covered in any Inorganic Chemistry course.
All lessons are pre-recorded and on demand, so you can watch any time, rewind, rewatch, and learn on your schedule. Online tutoring is also available if you are looking for help in chemistry.
We focus on big picture understanding, no memorization-only tricks. We use real examples, metaphors, and checklists to make concepts stick. Chemistry is a course where concepts stack one on top of the other. If the foundation is weak, the rest of the knowledge built on top will collapse. We make sure foundations are rock solid so everything becomes much easier to understand.
It depends on your purchase:
- Individual units are accessible for one month.
- A monthly subscription gives you the entire video catalog while active.
- A year plan gives access for a full calendar year.
Yes. You can preview the first 2 videos of each unit at no cost before committing. Take the opportunity to make sure the material makes sense and the pace of the instruction works for you.
The first 2 videos of every unit are free, so you can see the teaching style before you spend anything. Beyond that we do not run a free trial.
Monthly and Annual memberships come with a 30 day money back guarantee. If it is not working for you, tell us within 30 days of your first payment and we will refund it in full, no questions asked.
Single unit purchases are final, since one unit can be watched in a weekend. If a technical problem on our end stops you watching what you paid for, contact us and we will make it right.
Standard online payments via the platform (credit and debit, subscription billing). Specific methods may vary by region.
At times, discounts and promotions are announced periodically. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to see when those promotions come out.
Absolutely, anywhere you have internet access. Lessons work on phones, tablets, and computers. Virtually There Teaching was designed to let students access videos at their own pace, at times that work for them.
Videos require an internet connection. Offline downloads are not currently supported.
Any internet-capable device with a modern browser or the mobile interface will work.
Typical lessons are short, about 8 to 15 minutes, to keep learning focused and manageable. This is not about overload, it is about getting the golden nugget of information and retaining it as you move on to more advanced concepts.
By breaking big topics into bite-sized, conceptual chunks, you build a deeper understanding, leading to better test performance and less stress. Once students recognize the patterns and logic that dictate much of chemistry, they understand concepts on a deeper level and their mastery increases. Grades improve as does their mastery.
Yes. As long as your access period is active, you can watch and rewatch lessons at your pace. In fact we encourage you to take notes, rewatch a section you did not understand, or come back to practice example problems in preparation for an exam.
The platform currently focuses on video lessons. Check the discussion forum or blog for supplemental resources.
Yes. Educators can use lessons to supplement their curriculum or recommend them to students, and can integrate lessons or reach out for partnership opportunities. Contact support for integration options and free subscriptions.
Use the Contact Us link on the site to reach support for billing, access, or content questions.
Yes. If you are passionate about chemistry and virtual teaching, you can inquire about creating curriculum or joining the team.
Lessons are created by experienced chemistry educators with a deep understanding of where students struggle and what concepts are critical to success in chemistry.
They are designed to supplement your class, clarify confusing topics, and boost understanding, not to serve as formal accreditation. However, students who use Virtually There Teaching see their performance increase in accredited school classes.
Yes. The structured breakdown aligns well with AP-level thinking and skill building. Most units start with the basic principles of a concept and build all the way up to a university level expectation of understanding.
You can browse units by topic or filter for the specific concepts you are struggling with.
The site does not currently offer certificates. It is focused on mastery and understanding.
Virtually There Teaching focuses on on-demand lessons. Online tutoring is also available; use the Contact Us page to request it.
Absolutely. Parents can use the lessons to support their student’s learning and homework help. This works incredibly well for homeschooled students in advanced science classes, where the curriculum has outpaced what parents remember or learned in school.
The lessons are delivered through an online video platform integrated into the website.
The site includes a Discussion tab where active subscribers can engage with the instructors and ask questions specific to their own study.
