"Here's a little bit about me:

I currently work in Warwick, RI at a local biomedical device company full time as a Quality Engineer. I enjoy the outdoors and like to have a good time as well as keep my mind sharp by learning new things all the time.

My Education

I have a bachelor's in Chemistry from the University of Delaware (2006) and a Master of Science in Materials Engineering from Drexel University (2011). I have a general enthusiasm for History, Economics, and Government and keep up with current events and politics.

My Experience teaching

I recently taught as an adjunct professor of Chemistry at Rowan University. While I don't have a formal teaching certificate, I love teaching and my students appreciate my approach to teaching. Maybe I'll be your chemistry teacher one day!

I have tutored many friends throughout high school and college in chemistry. I have also tutored privately for several years.

My Philosophy

Chemistry and science in general are complex topics, but they can be taught effectively using everyday circumstances. Chemistry in its purest form is just about relationships. When people think of chemistry, they get caught up in numbers and complex science, but when the relationships between materials are shown, it all fits together like a puzzle. When it "clicks," it's so incredibly useful in daily life. This the primary technique of how I get my students to realize the cool things about chemistry and how to remember them.

I apply this same technique to history and government. Everything has a reason as to why it happened or existed. We create a mental ladder between events, laws, polices, etc. Whenever we come across a new one, we ask, "why?" As these "why's" are answered, the web of information grows and a greater understanding of the topic ensues.

About Me and My Hours

Currently, I work at a local biomedical company in Warwick, RI as a Quality Engineer during normal business hours and live nearby. For tutoring, I have flexible hours on Sundays, and evenings during the week. I as" less...
