Chemistry tutor (all areas) + Intro Astronomy

I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, as well as a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.S. in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology from UC-Irvine. In the past I have run chemistry workshops and tutored many undergraduate students. In addition, as part of my requirement for grad school I was a teaching assistant for two laboratory courses (5.311 and 5.301), which has given me plenty of experience mentoring and teaching students of various needs. During my time at MIT I also earned a teaching certificate to strengthen my teaching skills.

In the near future I will be moving on to do more laboratory research, but before leaving MA I have the desire to help out and perhaps inculcate a passion for Chemistry in young students. If you are interested in getting a Chemistry tutor near Cambridge, MA (within 20 mi) feel free to contact me.

I have used PowerPoint over the course of 11 years to give academic presentations on laboratory and literature research. I have prepared 1-hour presentations and have used many of the animations to convey my ideas.

Prealgebra

Precalculus

Trigonometry

Astronomy

Introduction to Astronomy.

Biochemistry

Can help with metabolic cycles and the basics of biochemistry and molecular biology.

Elementary Math

Organic Chemistry

I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, as well as a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.S. in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology from UC-Irvine. I am proficient in introductory organic chemistry, organic transformations aided by transition metal based catalysts, and organometallic chemistry.
