My name is Justin Cifuentes and I am very passionate about teaching and the topics that I teach. I have always loved chemistry and I intend to attend graduate school to complete a PhD in organic synthesis. As a testament to my success in college and in chemistry, I won the Excellence in Chemistry award for being among the top five chemistry students at the university. I also love music and math. I have had numerous opportunities to tutor physics and chemistry while in college. I aspire to invoke as much participation as possible any time I am teaching and encourage questions and challenges. I enjoy helping others in any way that I can and that is why I enjoy teaching so much!
