Experienced, helpful tutor who will help you understand!

Need help with your high school or college coursework? I have the experience to help you understand your homework and prepare for tests.

I am a fully licensed teacher in the state of Virginia with ten years of teaching experience. My teaching experience includes Chemistry, AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry, World History and IB History courses. I have tutored students since I was 14 years old.
After teaching all levels of chemistry from the basic SOL required course to AP and IB SL/HL courses I can help you/your child understand and learn to appreciate their chemistry class. I have also worked with students to prepare for their SAT II in chemistry, with many students earning perfect scores.
I also have taught History, working with many students learn how to interpret primary sources, analyze documents and write in-depth essays.

I am passionate about helping students feel involved and interested in their classes. Their is nothing worse than feeling a class happening around you, without being able to participate. I will help you learn the tools and skills necessary to be an active member of your education.

European History

At university I majored in history and even spent one semester studying abroad in Europe, developing a true appreciation for European history. As a teacher in a public high school I have taught World History and IB world history for 3 years. I have experience working with students and helping them understand the subject and learn to apply that knowledge.

SOL

As a state licensed and currently active public school teacher I am very well versed in the state requirements and set up of the SOL. I have prepared my students for and proctored the Chemistry SOL 5 times. My students have achieved the highest SOL pass rates in our school for the past 4 years.
The state requirements for Chemistry are broken down into 5 basic sections. The Chemistry test consists of 60 questions. 10 of these are "field" questions that will not count in the final score. To... Read More
