I have a bachelor of science in forensic biochemistry and a bachelor of arts in anthropology from the University of Central Florida. I have worked at UCF Academic Services for Student-Athletes assisting student-athletes in college-level courses related to chemistry, biology, genetics, history, and anthropology. I am most passionate about chemistry and biological anthropology as my master's research is related to the application of chemistry to human osteology. I am a firm believer that anyone can become an expert in a discipline as long as they are given the proper tools to learn that topic.

David

Chemistry Tutor • +6 Subjects

I have 9 years of University level teaching experience in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. I love tutoring people because it helps keep key concepts fresh in my head. Not everything you learn in school will be used, but some of it will be! And you don't know which parts until much much later. I focus on imparting understanding to my students. I detest rote memorization. Conceptual understanding will help you ace tests in this course and the ones after it!

" My goal is to create imagination and spark creativity through the skills of reading and writing"I have a bachelor's in CJ ( Arts of Science) from Chicago State University. I've also attended Tuskegee University and Georgia State University within the 5 years of my study. While completing my undergraduate degree, I worked part time as a teacher's assistant at a nearby linguistics school. Overall, it was a great experience and it also taught me a lot. I also have a younger sister who is 14 years old whom I help with homework often. My absolute favorite subject since I was a child is English (reading and writing). I fell in love with books as a child and the love still exists as an adult. I am a yoga instructor in between time and I also own an online fashion boutique. You can catch me at my local park reading, writing poetry, and preparing yoga sequences.
