I love the look on a student's face when they realize that they don't have to be nervous about an exam - that it can actually be really fun if the questions are viewed as the simple patterns they really are. In my free time, I love watching movies, reading, swimming, and exploring the city. I also play in a weekly ice hockey league and lately have been busy with a new puppy!

Westwood, California, has a population of around 1600 people. The town is built on lava flows from the Cascade Mountain Range volcanoes. The area was built up from the logging industry, and the town has a rich history. It was created to be an operations center from the Red River Lumber company in 1913, and the town grew with the company. Westwood, California, is the home of the mythical logger Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.

The first day with the student went well. I went over her homework where she had a hard time understanding the concepts. We discussed concepts of molarity, dilution, pH and some colligative properties. I explained the processes and reviewed her homework problems. I also gave her some extra questions so that she can revise the concepts on the topics covered. In our next meeting I will be giving her more questions so that she can practice. I will be explaining to her every detail on colligative properties too.

We decided that it would be most useful to meet once a week in order to go over more difficult topics, and review exams. We reviewed the general structure of the exam and basic test taking strategies for each section. We also began reviewing certain organic chemistry concepts (electrophilic addition reactions).
