"I provide honest one-on-one science (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and physics), math, statistics, and Microsoft Excel/Power BI tutoring to junior high, high school, and college students. I enjoy applying my in depth science knowledge in helping my students learn and improve their test scores. I will a tutor at public or college library or Starbucks. I am also WyzAnt certified as an online tutor.

I am a creative and enthusiastic tutor who will find your strengths and help you apply them in better learning and getting better grades. I will also work with you to prepare for a CLEP test, if needed. I have also been trained in reading tutoring K-8th grade. I also enjoy working with science fair students and on patent projects especially those leading to provisional US patents or research publications or other independent research.

I have a B.S. degree in Chemistry (minor in math) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry as well and have post graduate experience in four different industries agriculture, dye chemistry, scientific biotechnology, and recently water technologies, and consulting. I particularly enjoy tutoring in NMR, IR, mass spectroscopy, and structure elucidation both lab and lecture.

My Tutoring Approach

In my tutoring I try to put myself in my student's place. This way I better empathize with them and understand what methods will help them achieve their goals. If the student needs more feedback, I try to provide that and find ways for them to receive that while they are studying. If there might be an issue with test anxiety, I try to witness that via a short quiz and observe what contributes to the fears.

For math, science, and multiple choice test taking, I recommend timing homework problems or practice tests to determine which areas need more focused study, and thereby better achieve test completion.

I will not tutor on timed assignments or cheating in any form." less...
