Award-Winning Analytical Chemistry Tutors

...but I have always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as...

...my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at University of Central Florida. Since I graduated Ive been traveling, tutoring graduate admissions tests and surfing. Ive been working with the Michael J. Fox foundation as an ambassador to bring about awareness for Parkinsons disease. I have tutored every single undergraduate and graduate admissions test there is, both as a class and one-on-one. I am a strong believer that no test is unconquerable if we work as a...

...students understand and apply a wide range of concepts and tools to better understand both practical and theoretical problems in and outside of the laboratory. The key is to build off of what you know and work in steps to understand each problem and how to solve it. I think being able to relate a problem back to what you already know is the best way to understand difficult concepts or problems, and I will...

...language and also to teach adults, teenagers and small children where I was also able to teach a Spanish class. I spent the summer in a summer camp in Turkey where I help teenagers and kids with their everyday life and activities in English. While I love Physics and Math, I am tutoring several Math topics, such as, Algebra, Calculus, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus and also Spanish and English. I must say my favorite topic to tutor...

...where I received my Ph. D., also in chemistry. I have eighteen years of experience as a research scientist and seventeen years of experience as a high school and college level science teacher. I have taught chemistry, physics and environmental science at all levels including CP, Honors, AP and Dual enrollment. I have also taught IB Chemistry and IB Physics (SL and HL). In addition, I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and...

...attempts at sharing and discovering knowledge with peers and I have been engrossed ever since. Thanks to the students that I have tutored, I have learned to think of topics in many new ways and it is this fluidity with studying and learning that I hope to get across. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing music and running long distances. Coincidentally, my neighbors enjoy running long distances from the music I play! I like to...

...engineering laboratory at The University of Chicago and worked there for two years. That lab specializes in making biomaterials for cancer therapeutics and water purification membranes. Currently I work at MIT in the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. My current project is focused on developing immunotherapies to treat early stage tumors. Both in the classroom and in lab, I have always been more than willing to help others with their assignments or troubleshooting an...

...specialization were Organic Chemistry and Organic Photochemistry. I did my postdoctoral research in Cell Biology and Biochemistry at SUNY Stony Brook, where I was subsequently a research scientist. As a graduate student, I was a teaching assistant for general chemistry, undergraduate organic chemistry lab, and advanced organic chemistry lab. During my years doing undergraduate and graduate research, as well as my time spent as a postdoctoral researcher and research scientist, I supervised undergraduates starting their...

...a student, and if we were in a cartoon, a light bulb would appear over their head. And this is usually the moment when students believe that I don't have more talent in the subject that them; I simply have more practice. I graduated with my Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry from Texas Tech University in 2011, and have tutored students in chemistry and math since 2002. In addition to tutoring, I have taught...

...related to the medical profession. Initially, I was employed as an environmental chemist synthesizing isotopically labeled materials such as Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Polynuclear Heterocyclics (PNHs), Dibenzofurans, Dibenzodioxanes. Analysis to support the quality of the prepared compounds was performed using analytical techniques such as NMR, HPLC (UV/VIS, MS, and electrochemical) and GC (FID, EC, and MS). After my career as an environmental scientist, I transitioned into a role as a pharmaceutical scientist. My...

To respond to any requests or situation regarding solutions of academic problems. I believe that fellow students can often be better than courses or teachers in helping other fellow students learn, because the tutoring dynamic then becomes an active interaction where we solve problems together, both contributing and both learning.

...observable universe! Every person has neuro-circuitry which resonates intellectual discovery, and its your job to pursue your passion, as learning is the best tool for your survival!

...an extended period, my approach is simple. While I love those topics, they're not for everyone, and that's totally okay. My strategy involves finding connections between the weaker subject and the student's current strengths, and to use real life examples to better understand the material. For students without a naturally good test-taking ability, I believe my personal experience of originally being a poor standardized test-taker provides me a unique perspective. While for me this was...

...course where I gained valuable experience. I also have a Bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) in Integrative Biology. At SIUE, I was an Undergraduate Research Academy Scholar. After graduation, I was an Adjunct Professor at St. Charles Community College for 2 years. I have taught Microbiology classes and labs. Some of the classes that I am qualified to tutor in are: Middle school Math, writing College essay applications, Algebra, Microbiology, Genetics, Biology,...

...tests along with math from pre-algebra through calculus II, physical science, physics and chemistry. I am looking forward to helping as many students reach their academic goals as I can while I'm here. Outside of Tutoring I am an athlete and an avid singer. I mostly sing with 2 barbershop choruses here in the area and I have a long history of acapella singing. I played football and baseball in high school and play basketball...

I enjoy learning as well as teaching chemistry. I believe that during the tutoring process the student and the teacher both learn from each other, as a teacher I will provide learning material as well as practice problems. If an emergency study session is needed then I will be glad to do so. I look forward to meeting every student and helping them succeed in their courses.

...Assistantship in the medicinal chemistry department where I TA'd for medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry. Because of this opportunity I was able to discover how much I enjoy teaching and helping others learn! My teaching strengths are in the field of chemistry. Specifically the subsets of general, analytical, and organic. I use each of these in my day to day work and have practice teaching all of them. It takes patience and persistence to be...

...mathematics. I have a passion for sharing science with others and teaching in general. I tutor all levels of mathematics and many sciences. My favorite math topics are algebra and trigonometry. I love these topics because they were my first real guides into the sciences. When I learned algebra a light bulb illuminated for me and I suddenly felt like the world made sense through math. I love tutoring because I try to supply some...

...to teach subjects I'm passionate about, such as chemistry, to students who are interested in the topic but need some extra help. I have had wonderful tutors in the past help me in various subjects and believe I'm now at a point to help others better understand chemistry and various other topics, whether they want to pursue it as a major/career or be successful in the class. I'm excited to see what opportunities become available...

I would love to see students successfully meet their own expectations with my help.
