"After helping hundreds of students master chemistry over my 5+ years as an Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant, Personal Tutor, and Biochemistry Mentor, I’ve learned one important lesson: with confidence, anybody can master difficult science concepts.

My approach to learning has led me from being a first-generation college student to graduating with a BSc. in Biochemistry from Virginia Tech, gaining admission to Medical School, and helping countless other students succeed along the way.

My teaching style grows from my own journey. I understand firsthand that learning doesn't always come from textbook explanations. Sometimes it takes molecular models, real-world applications, or completely different perspectives to make concepts click. That's why I focus on finding the approach that works for you– because science isn't about memorizing facts, it's about building genuine understanding through active learning.

Just because you may not understand the way a certain topic is taught in class, doesn't mean you're at a dead end. Together, we will work to find another way. I prioritize patience, adapt to your unique learning style, and focus on real comprehension over memorization. Whether you're struggling with reaction mechanisms, confused by thermodynamics, or want to boost your confidence for exams, we'll develop personal strategies that work for you.

I specialize in: AP Chemistry, AP Biology, General Chemistry (I & II), Organic Chemistry (I & II), Biochemistry (I & II), Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and more.

I have open availability every day of the week and can typically schedule lessons within 24 hours! I’m excited to translate my passion for teaching and science into helping you achieve your academic goals by building upon the confidence you already have within you to succeed." less...
