I am a lifelong student and aspiring educator. I currently study, research, and teach Chemistry. I have a deep passion for learning, as well as teaching, and I enjoy helping others discover that passion and excitement within themselves. I learned this first while working on my B.S. in Chemistry at Guilford College and it has only been further solidified while pursuing my Ph.D at North Carolina State University.

...I've been a tutor for about five years now. I work a lot with elementary/middle school kids as both a volunteer and at Kumon, and I have also peer tutored at my high school in honors biology, chemistry, math, and Spanish. Primarily specializing in ACT test prep, I've improved many of my clients' scores by 3 or more points, and helped all of my students achieve their ACT goals. In my free time, I love...

...who needs help with test prep or writing!

...work explored the ability of actively growing fungi to re-route their metabolic profile when challenged by toxins. This project resulted in the production of three cytotoxic metabolites and reengaged the discussion of epigenetic modification in cultured marine fungi. My first academic appointment (Aug 2006-Dec 2008) was at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), a small HBCU in the US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas). During my time at UVI, I was heavily involved in...

...helping students gain a better understanding of these subjects by engaging them actively. I like to make sure students are not just given answers, but have a clear understanding of how those answers were obtained. I try to use multiple approaches in tutoring, using not only formulas, but drawing and diagrams to help see what those formulas represent. I use a TI-83/84 calculator and Excel in my tutoring and have some experience with SPSS.

Details on these can be found on my CV which is uploaded. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my...

...special skills that have helped my students understand chemistry exam languages with excellent scores in both their A-level chemistry exams and standard examination. Over the years, I have learnt that the best approach to helping struggling students prepare for standard examination is to follow what I call 'hands-on bottom-up approach". This will allow my student and I to focus on the areas of weakness, all through to areas of strength. I am a firm believer...
