About Me

I am a graduate student working on my PhD in Organic Chemistry. Like many students, I struggled as an undergraduate taking Organic and wished I had someone to guide me through it. Eventually, I learned to really appreciate and enjoy the subject and I learned how to better grasp the material I was trying to learn. This then lead me to graduate school where I could put these skills I had learned to use on a daily basis working in the lab. This is also where I got my first exposure to both teaching and tutoring students. I realized that I could help students who were dealing with the same difficulties that I had experienced and this was very fulfilling to me. I look forward to using this platform to reach new students that I can help learn and appreciate Organic Chemistry.

Q&A with Eric

My teaching philosophy is to primarily focus on making sure the student legitimately understands the concepts behind the material they are learning. In Organic Chemistry, the tendency is for students to attempt to memorize the large volume of material and reactions they are given. Despite the time they put into this, many still struggle. However, if the student actually understands the concepts, they can often solve all of the problems having memorized very little material and they are less likely to forget the things they have learned.
