I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics from Aquinas College and spent nearly 30 years as an industrial chemist before earning a postbaccalaureate in education and teaching math and science for a decade. I've tutored since college and, for the past four years with Varsity Tutors, I've focused primarily on AP Chemistry. My philosophy is that any subject becomes manageable once the right foundational skills are in place. In sessions, I diagnose missing skills and build them stepbystep through clear examples and targeted practice. For AP Chemistry, I align instruction to common AP question types and equip students with the background knowledge, problemsolving methods, and testtaking strategies needed to earn top scores.
