"I’m Cathy, a passionate educator with a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biophysics from UCLA, and years of experience teaching and mentoring students. I specialize in AP Chemistry, General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and STEM subjects for high school students, as well as Chinese language learning for all levels.

As a former Adjunct Professor at Harbor College, Los Angeles for three years, and a Teaching Assistant at UCLA for five years, I have guided students through complex scientific concepts, breaking them down into easy-to-understand lessons.

I am fluent in both English and Mandarin and can teach in either language, making learning more accessible and effective for students from diverse backgrounds. If you're looking to improve your Chinese language skills, I can also provide engaging lessons in speaking, reading, and writing for all proficiency levels.

Beyond teaching, my experience as a scientist and venture capital professional in the biotech and food technology sectors gives me unique insights into how chemistry plays a crucial role in innovation and industry advancements. Whether you need help with exam preparation, homework, or a deeper understanding of chemistry or Chinese, I’m here to support your learning journey.

Let’s make learning exciting and achievable together!" less...
