Experience
I have taught chemistry, English literature, writing, world history, and philosophy for over three years. During this time, I've worked with a range of students, from 9th grade high schoolers to college seniors. In addition to classroom responsibilities, I have also tutored individual students extensively. In particular, I have a knack for clarifying difficult scientific concepts. Beyond teaching and tutoring chemistry, I've also performed chemical research in a polymer lab at UNC-Chapel Hill. Currently, I teach at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
