I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I am a PhD student studying synthetic organic chemistry at the University of Connecticut. I have a history of tutoring and teaching organic chemistry classes and a passion for helping students understand how great a subject chemistry can be! I offer tutoring in a range of subjects including, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, college level General Chemistry, high school Chemistry, general study strategies, and general science. My teaching philosophy is to simplify complex subjects in order to bring a wider more diverse range of students into scientific fields. I prioritize active learning strategies using practice problems. In my history of tutoring organic chemistry, a number of my students improved multiple letter grades and some even went on to graduate school in chemistry.
