...I have served as a graduate student teaching assistant for Physical Organic Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute, where my research has concerned the production of libraries of organic compounds for testing in biophysical assays. I am particularly well-versed in amide-bond forming reactions, SN2-type displacements, nucleophilic aromatic substitutions,... read more

...My favorite subjects include precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, optimization and numerical analysis. I believe the only way to learn mathematics or computer programming is by working through many exercises and problems. There's no way around this. It doesn't matter how well a lecture is presented or how good the teacher is. If you don't do the... read more

...I then answer any questions they may have and I often re-teach the entire lesson if necessary by examples from their book; explaining each and every step.

Pre-algebra is a very important... read more

...Other interests include lots of programming, especially with Visual Basic, and mapping with GIS and open source software. I have a strong math background and work with a student who I am currently helping in chemistry. I have had years of experience tutoring in high school Chemistry and AP Chemistry.... read more
