"Hi! I’m Ivy M., a high school chemistry teacher with over three years of experience teaching middle and high school science in Virginia and Louisiana. I have a degree in Animal Science, which provides a strong foundation in both biology and chemistry, and I’ve taught a wide range of students from 6th to 11th grade, many in low-income schools. This experience has helped me develop flexible and effective teaching strategies that meet the needs of diverse learners.

In my teaching, I prioritize hands-on, engaging lessons that simplify complex scientific concepts. I use real-world examples, step-by-step explanations, and active learning techniques to ensure students grasp challenging material, whether we’re exploring the periodic table or chemical reactions. I focus on creating a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building their confidence.

As a tutor, I tailor my approach to each student’s unique needs and goals, helping them develop not only a deeper understanding of science but also the skills they need to succeed academically. Whether you’re looking to improve your grades, prepare for exams, or simply gain a better understanding of chemistry, I’m here to help guide you on that journey. Let’s work together to achieve your science goals!" less...
