With over a decade of dedicated teaching experience, I specialize in transforming complex chemical concepts into manageable, "aha!" moments for my students. My background is rooted in elite pedagogical training, having graduated from the top-tier normal universities in both mainland China and Hong Kong with a focus on Chemistry and Education. To further refine my craft, I earned my Master’s degree from the Education University of Hong Kong, which provided me with a deep understanding of diverse learning styles and advanced instructional strategies. Currently, I hold a Preliminary Teaching Credential in Chemistry for California and a Standard High School Chemistry Teaching Credential in Nevada.

My teaching philosophy is centered on building a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Over the last 10 years, I have successfully guided students through the rigors of AP Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, A-Level, and IB Chemistry. I don't just teach for the exam; I teach for mastery. This approach consistently yields results, with the majority of my students achieving a score of 5 on their AP Chemistry exams. Beyond the standard curriculum, I am an "Outstanding Coach" for the Chemistry Olympiad, helping high-achieving students navigate the most competitive levels of the subject.

In our sessions, I prioritize a one-on-one, student-centered environment where no question is too small. Whether we are meeting online or in person, I adapt my methods to fit your specific needs—whether that’s breaking down complex stoichiometry, mastering thermodynamics, or preparing for high-stakes laboratory analysis. My goal is to empower you with the confidence and the technical skills needed to excel in the classroom and beyond. I look forward to helping you reach your full potential in the fascinating world of chemistry!
