"Throughout life, learning and teaching go hand in hand. To thoroughly command a subject, be it algebra or chemistry, one must also be able to teach it. I have been fortunate to have had that rewarding opportunity. To see the light come on in my students' eyes when they grasp what had been so elusive is its own reward.

Before graduate school, I helped a high school student to get advance placement in freshman chemistry in an Ivy League school. While in graduate school I conducted question and answer sessions and graded homework for freshman chemistry. While in the workplace, I have had the chance to teach my co-workers topics in freshman chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and even algebra. In the last few years I have been a guest science lab teacher for two local elementary schools performing experiments for their Science Club. In addition, I conducted experiments with 80-100 4th and 5th graders for Sunny's annual summer camp program.

You and I will have a free consultation session to access what your learning challenge is, what your goals are, and what is the best route to master the subject. We will evaluate your progress through homework assignments and impromptu case studies. However, just as important, I also will request your frank feedback on how effective my tutoring style is working for you. I can be very flexible with the time and place of the tutoring sessions. A 24-hour cancellation policy is important for both of us, but makeup sessions can easily be arranged.

I welcome the opportunity to help you master the studies that are challenging you. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience." less...
