UC Berkeley Chemistry Alumna with 5+ Years of Tutoring Experience

Lillian H.

Hi, I'm Lillian! I recently graduated the University of California, Berkeley in May 2026 with a B.S. in Chemistry. I currently still work as a researcher there, focusing on nanomaterials for biological/medical applications, and I am planning to begin a Ph.D. program abroad at Tohoku University in Japan in 2027.

I have about 5+ years of teaching and mentoring experience. I have been tutoring both in person and online since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Since this time, I have held several Zoom tutoring sessions with a variety of students in the K-12 range on subjects such as Spanish, music, math, and chemistry. I am relatively flexible in teaching a wide array of subjects to a wide age range!
During my time in Berkeley, I also had the opportunity to become a teaching assistant for an organic chemistry lab class, where I helped students understand and master basic organic chemistry lab techniques. Furthermore, I helped lead a student-taught research mentorship course for underclassmen at Berkeley interested in acquiring typically competitive chemistry research opportunities, and in the research labs that I was in throughout my undergraduate career, I co-mentored two lab-mates.

All of these roles that I have taken on in the past ~5-6 years have been very rewarding. I really enjoy sharing my passions and connecting with students, and watching them light up over the same subjects I love and even go on to take on new opportunities and endeavors on their own because of these types of experiences. So I hope to do the same with my students here! I follow a "student-first" policy where I aim to tailor to the needs of my students first when planning out lessons. I am also organized, flexible, and highly value collaboration, so I am always open to any suggestions and feedback from both students and parents, as I strive to help my students succeed!
