About Robert

Bio

Hi, I'm Dr. Bob! I remember *way* back in my High School days being anxious and a little excited about Chemistry. I was fortunate to have a wonderful teacher, and that first experience eventually led to my career as a scientist. I've taught Chemistry and Materials Science at the college level, as an adjunct professor, for 7 consecutive years, and I've worked in a variety of industrial settings as a working chemist for over 30 years. I've been a Wyzant tutor since 2011 with 130+ hours of...

I've been a Wyzant tutor since 2011 with 130+ hours of tutoring.

I have tutored students from grade school in physical science, students in high school through college in General & Organic Chemistry level. I strive to personalize lessons and explain things in a variety of ways until my students really understand the material. Let's connect and discuss how I may help you!

Corporate Training

Italian

Italian

A full-blooded Italian-American, my father immigrated to the U.S. in 1957, and maternal grandparents/great-grandparents from 1900 - 1920. I studied Italian in college, have visited family in Italy several times and polished my language skills there. I've done several translations for others, both common correspondence and technical subject matter. I would be happy to engage any students wishing to learn the language or to do translation work for hire.

Homeschool

Chemistry

Chemistry

Professional PhD chemist employed in various industrial positions for ~25 years, trained in organic and polymer chemistry. I have taught chemistry and have tutored at the college level. I am confident that I can explain principles of chemistry to students in high school too - this is when I became interested in the subject and realize how challenging it can be to learn on your own.

Thorough tutor, takes the time to explain.

Bob has met with my sophomore Honors Chemistry several times to date. He’s prompt and communicates quickly both before and after sessions. He’s an excellent tutor that takes the time to explain things step by step. My son now consistently gets A’s on his chemistry tests this year. Highly recommend!

Terri, 9 lessons with Robert

Extremely knowledgeable tutor

Robert tutored me in college general chemistry. He did an excellent job explaining various topics to me. He was extremely helpful and patient. I was amazed not only of his knowledge but his ability to teach it to me in a way I could understand.

Megan, 2 lessons with Robert

Excellent!!!

He was very patient and knowledgeable about Chemistry 1. Robert explains things in a way that you will understand where my own professor could not even help me to understand.

Aryanni, 2 lessons with Robert

Thermodynamics AP Chemistry

My 16 year old just had his first session with Robert. He gave him a big thumbs up! He said he was very patient and knowledgeable on subject matter. We are looking forward to our next session tomorrow.

Great Chemistry Tutor!

Robert worked with my son on AP Chemistry. He explained the material in a way that gave my son a lot more confidence in the classroom. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for help in Chemistry.

Laura, 8 lessons with Robert

Amazing tutor!

He was very willing to meet at the times that I could and was extremely helpful during sessions. I ended up getting the highest grade on my chemistry exam in my class (which I NEVER thought would happen)! Robert is the best tutor I've ever worked with.

Erin, 4 lessons with Robert

Flexible and reliable

Robert was reliable and flexible. I was struggling through a college chemistry course and would not have been able to pass without Bob's help. Thanks so much for all your help!!!

The Best Tutor!

I am so thankful that we found Robert. He has helped my daughter so much. Her grade in chemistry has consistently gone up since she started working with him. He is very knowledgeable and truly understands how to explain the subject. I am most grateful for his encouragement and patience. He is willing to spend extra time on each lesson or topic to make sure she fully understands the concept and can perform the work correctly. My daughter was very discouraged with chemistry before she started working with Robert, but now she walks away from each tutoring session feeling confident that she not only understands the material, but is able to perform it correctly in class. Robert is the best tutor we have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Tracy, 12 lessons with Robert

Wonderful tutor!

Robert has been a tremendous help. He has been thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. He has helped to clear the confusion, and improve my son's understanding of Honors Chemistry. He is consistant, easy to communicate to, he responds back quickly in a positive manner. We are very pleased with Robert as our son's tutor.

Fantastic attention to detail

I came across the odd job of having to translate a large number of manual engineering drawings from Italian to English. I tried using almost every online translation web site that I could find. None of them were able to translate the info on the drawings to the technical standards needed. Then I tried Wyzant and was paired up with Robert. His translations were right on the money. The way he organized the information presented was outstanding. His communications were well throughout and to the point. Student grades instructor? A+
