Bio

I have taught high school on-level and honors chemistry as well as AP Chemistry to high school juniors and seniors for over 20 years. I have also taught introductory college chemistry for two years. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Education in chemistry in 1998 and my Masters in Educational Leadership in 2021, both degrees from Arkansas State University. I have also earned graduate credit in inorganic and physical chemistry from Ohio University. I am National Board certified and served as...

I have taught high school on-level and honors chemistry as well as AP Chemistry to high school juniors and seniors for over 20 years. I have also taught introductory college chemistry for two years. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Education in chemistry in 1998 and my Masters in Educational Leadership in 2021, both degrees from Arkansas State University. I have also earned graduate credit in inorganic and physical chemistry from Ohio University. I am National Board certified and served as an AP Chemistry Exam Reader for six years. In addition to chemistry, I have also taught physics and physical science.

I possess a unique ability to make challenging topics comprehensible for high school chemistry and AP Chemistry students and college students taking general chemistry. My approach to teaching involves breaking down complex ideas into smaller and more manageable segments, utilizing relatable analogies, and employing real-world examples that resonate with students. This not only facilitates a deeper understanding but also fosters an environment where students can seamlessly apply theoretical knowledge to practical problem-solving scenarios. Through effective communication and a student-centric teaching style, I aim to instill a passion for chemistry and empower students with the skills to tackle challenging problems with confidence and enthusiasm. I strive to make sure that my students achieve high learning outcomes.

ACT Science

ACT Science

With nearly two decades of experience teaching ACT Science Reasoning skills, I have guided countless 10th–12th grade students through my school's highly effective summer ACT Prep program. In these intensive 5-week courses, students master the nuances of each passage type and question format on the ACT Science section, while developing proven strategies to optimize time management and enhance accuracy. My students have consistently achieved significant score improvements, often transforming their performance through dedicated practice and targeted instruction. I am excited to offer you the same high-quality, personalized tutoring—complete with expert guidance, rigorous practice, and tailored coaching—to help you unlock your full potential and elevate your ACT Science score. Let's work together to achieve your higher ACT score!
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have a BSE in chemistry and have taught grade-level, honors, and AP Chemistry in high school for over 21 years and taught chemistry as an adjunct in community college for two years. I have served as an AP Chemistry Reader for the College Board for six years. I have had many students go on to complete post-secondary programs in chemistry, pharmacy, and medical school. I have worked as a regional science instructional specialist for 2 years and currently in my 5th year as a statewide science specialist with my state Department of Education, coaching science teachers to improve student learning. In my own instruction, I strive to help students develop a deeper understanding of the content so they can master conceptual and mathematical applications of chemistry content. It's important to understand the how and why of the content in addition to applicable mathematical thinking in order to apply concept and skills to different chemical problems.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I have taught physical science for 21 years in addition to teaching chemistry and physics. During this time, I discovered that students most often benefit from learning physics topics before tackling the more abstract chemistry concepts. I strive to help students develop a deeper understanding of the concepts so they can successfully apply them to different phenomena and problems.
