Award-Winning Physical Chemistry Tutors in Henderson, NV

...enjoying cooking. I did my undergraduate work in New York and received a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry. I did a little tutoring back then of nursing students who just had to pass Chemistry to get their degree. I then went to University of Maryland at Baltimore for my PhD in Biochemistry. I studied telomeres and their effect in cancer and anti-aging. After 5 years, I decided I needed a break from sciences and left with...

Hi, I'm Kat. I'm a math and science enthusiast with a passion for helping others understand and appreciate the science (and its applications) of our fascinating world.

Having a degree in chemistry with emphases in mathematics and environmental science, I am meticulous about understanding the material itself as well as understanding why the material applies to you in your own personal life. With this in mind, I hope I can assist you not only in bettering your grades, but also understanding the world around you.... The techniques would vary from student to student. For some students, a logic-based derivation of the material works best (mathematical proofs, scientific research, etc.), while for others, practical application in their everyday lives works best (using mathematics to do taxes, science behind vaccines, etc.), while still others work best with rogue practicing of problems (working problems at the end of chapter, creating new problems, etc.).

I have a PhD in Organic Chemistry from Caltech and am a former instructor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Alberta. I'm happy to help you succeed, no matter what your level.

...in the human body, which makes it really fun to tutor them! My tutoring style focuses on the student taking ownership of the material. To me this means that the student is learning the material in a way that is the most optimal for them, and in a way that ensures that they can apply their knowledge meaningfully. Outside of the classroom I love to go on long runs in central park, read, cook fun...

...tutor is to build a strong relationship with the students I am tutoring. I recognize that everyone has a different learning pattern, so I adapt everyone's lesson plan to a style that will maximize learning! The second most important aspect of tutoring is open communication. I am always open to change, so please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you learn more effectively. I've been tutoring for 4 years...

...on average English teachers in high school rarely spend even 5 minutes reviewing a student's writng.) Since graduating I have worn many hats. I have worked as a DJ going on tour in both the US and Canada. My music was sold in both the U.S. and Japan and I even have a track that was published with my group Soul Majestic by the American Bible Society! Since retiring from the music industry, I've also...

...approach to the sessions accordingly. In my free time, I also greatly enjoy writing and editing. As such, one of large parts of my life during undergrad was Epidemic Proportions, the Johns Hopkins Undergraduate Public Health Research Journal. It was very rewarding to put together a journal after gathering articles from students and professors, and for the issue each year, it involved a lot of planning and teamwork. In addition, I enjoy working with technology,...

...mindset and tools. As a tutor, students sought out my services to help understand key concepts, homework practice problems, exams, and lab write-ups. My experience tutoring a diverse group of Chemistry students allows me to know where the difficulties lie, where students typically fall behind, and the pitfalls that creep up on exams. My tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the...

...and age groups. As a high school student, I volunteered as a teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as...
