Feeling overwhelmed by chemistry or math? Let me help you make sense by turning mountains into molehills...or at least moles!

A National Merit Scholar, I graduated cum laud from Brigham Young University in 2006 with a BS in Chemistry. I continued my study with graduate coursework in analytical chemistry. While at BYU, I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate analytical chemistry, graduate analytical chemistry, chemical literature and writing, undergraduate organic chemistry and tap dance. I received three different teaching awards and stipends for my hard work. I even taught an organic chemistry laboratory class designed for pre-med and pre-dental students--twice. As a graduate student, I developed a laboratory for other graduate students, including ordering my own lasers and designing my own equipment setup.
Through the University of Phoenix online, I completed an MA in secondary education with a 4.0. Being a certified teacher means I get to practice helping students learn every day.

I have taught physical science, general chemistry, and honors chemistry at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix for 8+ years. When I find free time, I have worked as a private tutor for chemistry, AP chemistry, college chemistry, organic chemistry, trigonometry, and AP calculus. I love working with individual students as I can find what works for you--I can speak chemistry in YOUR language!

Tired of feeling like chemistry is a mountain you just can't conquer? Think how amazing the view will be from the top--I promise I can help you climb it.

Extremely knowledgeable and Amazing Chemistry Tutor!

If you need a chemistry tutor look no further!!!! Megan is the BEST!!! She has helped my daughter through a introductory college chemistry class that was extremely overwhelming. Megan has been very patient and broke down difficult concepts into information that was easier to understand. The class final is tomorrow and my daughter currently has an A +, something we really didn’t think was attainable when the class started. When I was looking at all of the chemistry tutors available on Wyzant I literally prayed for the right one, our prayers were answered with Megan. She has cheered my daughter on when she felt like dropping the class and trying it again later. Megan has helped ease her anxiety so many times. She responds quickly and has been very flexible with scheduling sessions. My only problem now is my daughter is going to miss tutoring sessions because Megan has been so amazing!!

Amazing tutor!

Megan tutored my daughter in AP Chemistry and we are very happy with the results. Megan was patient and willing to answer any questions my daughter had about chemistry. My daughter said she definitely has a much better understanding of chemistry now and felt very well-prepared for the AP Chemistry exam. Megan was also very good at explaining the concepts and helping her with difficult homework problems. We would definitely recommend her as a tutor!

Knowledge and patient tutor

Megan is the best chemistry tutor. She helps me so much with my honor chemistry class! And her explanation of chemistry concepts are all very easy to understand!

Tracy, 11 lessons with Megan

AP Chemistry expert

Having had her for a year to strengthen my chemistry skills, I can confidently say that Meg is a fantastic teacher. She is patient, asking questions because she really wants you to understand the material, and is happy to re-explain it if you don't understand the first time. She is very methodical, breaking down the complexities and pointing out essential nuances for the course. Concepts that I had trouble learning in class became much easier to understand, and I am grateful for Meg helping me excel in chemistry this year.

Fun, knowledgeable and highly effective tutor!!

Megan has been helping my daughter with AP Chemistry and they had 4 great lessons together so far. Megan is energetic, approachable and well organized. She is amazing in explaining concepts in bite-size components and providing guidance on how to solve problems. We will lean heavily on her expertise for the preparation of the upcoming AP exam. I highly recommend Megan for any level of your Chemistry need!

Grade Booster, Fantastic Teacher, Confidence Has Soared

We love Megan!! My son Is in 10th grade honors chemistry. It’s a tough course at his school. While he was doing ok, he was having to work really hard to maintain his grade. Immediately when we started working with Megan she was able to boost his confidence, knowledge and he is consistently doing great now! A solid A in the class. The BEST thing about Megan is that she teaches Honors Chemistry. She knows her stuff! This is not your typical tutor who is reading from a book along with your student. Meagan has the background, the skills as a teacher and that has made a HUGE difference. She is so easy to work with and she celebrates my son’s success! Hire her now and get her working with your kid(s). You will see a difference immediately!! We are so glad to have found her and it made this school year an entirely different experience!!

talent to explain complex chemistry topics in very simple way

Megan helps my 9th grader with Honors Chemistry on weekly basis. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and approachable tutor. Being a high school chemistry teacher, she knows the high school chemistry program and has a talent to explain complex chemistry topics in very simple way for student to understand and strive. My 9th grader has very high opinion of Megan and very happy with improved chemistry grades. We plan to work with Megan next year if my 9th grader decides to take AP chemistry.

I learned so much in just an hour!

Megan was great at knowing exactly how to explain stuff without just telling me. I think it's so important to understand how/why things work and her teaching style is to lead you into understanding, rather than just telling you stuff. She's an amazing tutor and I can't recommend her highly enough!
