A little bit about myself: when I'm not tutoring, I like to watch football and basketball. In my free time, I like reading and board games. I seem to be obsessed with learning and teaching all things science and history. Ask my buddies, family members, or acquaintances and you'll find that I'm tutoring even when I'm not tutoring.

Learning is my hobby, and it sure is enjoyable. I would be happy to support the goals of any student. Message me to set up a session!

Advanced Knowledge of Biology and Chemistry

Sheldon was extremely helpful in our lessons. I am currently in AP Biology and AP Chemistry. In AP Bio, Sheldon was able to help me solve some of the most difficult questions in the textbook. And I say this as one of the top students in the class. Our teacher assigns these problems for extra-credit only, not expecting us to get them right. However, with Sheldon's instruction, I managed to reason my way through all of the questions. For AP Chemistry, I admit chem is a weakness of mine. I really appreciated Sheldon's patience and the way he explained things in different ways. I highly recommend Sheldon for tutoring (especially if you have a test coming up like me!)
