"Hi, my name is Kristin! I am a Professional Tutor with over 10 years of experience specializing in chemistry at all levels, with a passion for making Organic Chemistry approachable and easy to understand.

My Background

I hold a Master of Science degree in Chemistry from Western Carolina University, where I was a dedicated graduate-level tutor, logging over 500 hours with more than 200 students in just over a year. I have extensive experience with first-time learners, those retaking courses, non-traditional students, and students with ADHD. After earning my degree, I taught General and Organic Chemistry at Chamberlain College of Nursing and worked as a chemist at The Coca-Cola Company's Florida Juice Quality Center before pursuing tutoring full time.

My Purpose

I aim to empower students to develop reliable strategies for solving even the most complex problems. I know tutoring can feel intimidating, so I create a friendly, relaxed learning environment where you can ask questions freely and build confidence in your abilities. My greatest reward is helping students turn struggles into successes and achieve their academic goals.

My Approach

Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching to your needs. My sessions break down complex topics, identify areas of confusion, and provide actionable solutions. I focus on fostering a deep understanding of the material while preparing you to tackle exams and assignments with confidence.

My Resources

I bring years of experience and custom materials, including guided notes, reaction summaries, and practice problems. These resources simplify difficult topics and reflect the types of questions you'll encounter in class and exams.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session. I’m excited to help you succeed!

Skilled topics: AP chemistry, spectroscopy, advanced organic chemistry, chemical synthesis, chemistry lab, lab reports, stoichiometry, conversions, alkene reactions, chair confirmations, retrosynthesis, etc." less...
