Four years as a Military Police Officer in the Arizona Army National Guard built the kind of disciplined, systematic thinking that translates surprisingly well to tackling college chemistry's calculation-heavy problem sets — balancing equations, tracking units through stoichiometry, and working through gas law algebra all reward precision over guesswork. Rachelle graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State, and her philosophy training sharpened her ability to break complex arguments into logical steps, which she applies to walking students through multi-concept problems where the reasoning matters as much as the arithmetic.

I have over two years of tutoring and teaching experience at Case Western Reserve University. I served as a Supplemental Instructor for ENGR 145 (Chemistry of Materials), where I created worksheets, led review sessions, and helped students develop strong conceptual foundations. I later worked as a Teaching Assistant for ENGR 210 (Circuits and Instrumentation), grading assignments and assisting students with hands-on circuit building and lab work. As a Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track, I specialize in tutoring pre-health and engineering courses, including General and Physical Chemistry, Math, Biology, Physics, and Anatomy and Physiology. I also provide MCAT preparation in the B/B, C/P, and P/S sections. My teaching approach focuses on clear explanations, active problem-solving, and adapting to each student's learning style. I strive to make challenging material approachable while helping students build confidence and independent learning skills.

Organic chemistry was Sebastian's toughest course in his pre-med program at Arizona State — which means he first had to master the gen chem foundations (electron behavior, bonding theory, reaction energetics) well enough to build on them at the next level. He's spent the past year tutoring general chemistry and organic chemistry through the university, and that combination gives him a sharp sense of which college chemistry concepts — like molecular geometry or acid-base trends — will trip students up again later if they're only half-understood now.

A genetics PhD means Cameron has spent years working at the molecular level — where understanding chemical bonding, reaction energetics, and solution behavior isn't optional but essential for making sense of everything from DNA replication to protein folding. That deep, applied chemistry background translates into a knack for explaining gen chem topics like atomic structure, intermolecular forces, and equilibrium in ways that make the underlying logic stick rather than evaporate after the exam.

Geological sciences training at Ohio University meant Paul spent years applying gen chem principles — crystal chemistry, mineral thermodynamics, aqueous geochemistry — in contexts where getting the chemistry wrong meant misidentifying an entire rock formation. That real-world pressure gives him a concrete way to teach topics like solution equilibria, bonding, and reaction energetics: he ties abstract concepts to physical systems students can actually picture.

Organic mechanisms, thermodynamics, and reaction kinetics demand a level of precision that can overwhelm students used to introductory courses. Pooja draws on her university-level biology and biochemistry knowledge to connect chemical principles to biological systems, which is especially useful for pre-med and life-science students navigating general or organic chemistry sequences.

Mechanical engineering at the undergraduate level means Daniel didn't just take gen chem — he immediately had to apply concepts like thermochemistry, gas behavior, and bond energetics in engineering coursework where getting the chemistry wrong meant the physics fell apart too. That cross-disciplinary pressure gives him a practical read on which gen chem topics actually need deep understanding versus which ones just need clean problem-solving technique, so he can tailor his approach to what's actually tripping a student up.

General chemistry at the college level moves fast through equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry, and professors rarely slow down for students still shaky on earlier material. Yuxuan held review sessions for underclassmen at UC Berkeley covering exactly these topics, and he co-taught a lab section where he walked students through titration calculations and spectroscopic analysis in real time. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that hands-on experience translates to one-on-one sessions.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
