"I started teaching as a tutor and a TA as a high schooler and have been doing it for the past decade and am now a college faculty member myself. I'm trained as an organic chemist with a background in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry topics. I have tutored both high school and college students as well as taught a dozen classes and labs at the college freshman and sophomore level. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Xavier University and my PhD from Harvard University.

I believe chemistry courses can be challenging but that students are capable of making it a successful and positive experience. I'm also able to help with high school level math. If you'd like supportive and enthusiastic assistance as you prepare for an exam, get ahead for next year, or just work your way through a class, I'm ready and eager to work with you.

My tutoring style is defined by helping students learn not just to solve specific problems, but to understand the underlying concepts so that math and science feel less like a black box and more like a coherent whole. I encourage students to try different problem solving strategies to get a sense of what works for them but am always willing to offer feedback and direction if we reach a point where we feel stuck. My end goal is students leave tutoring able to tackle their classes and confidently solve a variety of problems based on what they have learned." less...
