"Hello,

I've taught a wide range of science classes, including chemistry, physics, earth science, biology, forensics, and history of science, and I use math a lot in these disciplines. My primary background is in chemistry, with over 30 years in industrial research and development (R&D) roles before I transitioned into teaching. I love teaching science - there are so many interesting things happening in the world that it is a great opportunity to put these events in perspective with students.

I have a PhD in Chemistry and an MBA in Marketing. My business background came about as a result of my strong interest in optimal selection and guiding of R&D projects in my industrial experience (WR Grace, Millipore, and Procter and Gamble (P&G) - please ask me about the amazing science behind bubbles!). After a career in industrial R&D, I started teaching high school science and have now transitioned into tutoring.

I love patiently answering questions about why a particular science is useful, and can can become entertainingly animated when solving problems.

If you are looking for someone patient, knowledgeable, and excited about science and teaching, then please contact me. I'd love to help." less...
