Experience
I'm an experienced chemistry tutor with a PhD in organic chemistry and a BS in chemistry with over seven years of successful teaching/tutoring experience. I spent four years in undergrad/graduate school serving as a teaching assistant, leading help sessions in general and organic chemistry, and have spent seven years tutoring students in general and organic chemistry courses at the college level. My tutoring philosophy is to present the material in a way that the student can easily relate to. If a student likes formulas, we will describe phenomena using formulas. If a student prefers learning visually with drawings and diagrams, then I will employ those. I will present the material as many ways as necessary until it sticks in the student's mind. In hiring me, I will be your biggest supporter. I will bring a positivity to the experience and prove to you that you can learn anything, as long as the material is presented in the right way and you are willing to put in the work. I am extremely patient and will never make you feel down or embarrassed about your current level of knowledge, it is all about where we will end up when we are done (i.e. with a great grade/score you are satisfied with). If you think I may be the right tutor for you, then please contact me. Thanks, and I look forward to working with you.
