USC Chemistry Graduate (MA), general and organic chemistry tutor

Moises C.

I hold a Master of Arts in Chemistry from the University of Southern California (USC) and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My academic training includes advanced coursework in general, inorganic, materials, and organic chemistry, as well as laboratory instruction, which has provided me with a strong theoretical and practical foundation in the subject.

Over the past seven years, I have gained extensive experience teaching and tutoring students ranging from high school to university level. I currently serve as an Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant at USC, where I supervise laboratory sections of 20–30 undergraduate students. In this role, I guide students through laboratory techniques such as distillation, extraction, chromatography, and spectroscopic analysis, while reinforcing problem-solving strategies and mechanistic reasoning.

In addition to my university teaching experience, I worked as an Instructional Aide with the Los Angeles Unified School District, where I supported high school students in general chemistry. I provided structured explanations of core concepts, assisted with laboratory activities, and offered one-on-one academic support to help students strengthen their understanding and improve their performance.

From 2017 to 2021, I worked as a Learning Assistant and Lead Science Tutor within the Los Angeles Community College District. I provided individualized and small-group tutoring in chemistry and mathematics, designed academic review seminars aligned with course objectives, and supervised a team of tutors in a Science Success Center
