"I have a Master's in Chemistry from the University of Arizona, and I did my BS in Chemistry at the University of Georgia with minors in Mathematics and Comparative Literature. In high school I was named as the STAR Student for my county for having the highest SAT score in the county, including a perfect 800 in SAT Mathematics, and at the University of Georgia I was awarded the 2014-2015 Undergraduate Student Award by the American Chemical Society for our region.

In addition to a perfect AP Chemistry score, I have an undergraduate and graduate school background in organic chemistry. I have years of teaching and tutoring experience, and I stress the importance of going beyond memorization to understand chemical concepts. While memorization is always involved, chemistry is much easier to grasp and rules are easier to remember if the student has a fu" less...
