I received my PhD in Organic Chemistry from UCLA and a BS in Chemistry (with Honor) from Cal State LA. I am a retired college professor and research scientist with a strong background in organic chemistry. I love teaching chemistry and get excited when learning takes place with my students. I have high patience and willing to put in extra work and explanations to help insure my students learn. I teach to all learning styles and I tell my students that are no dumb questions. I have a long history of giving back to the community and working with students from grade school to the college level.
