I designed the curriculum, assessments, and other resources for these courses and gained experience working with students of a variety of skill levels.

I have four years experience working as a high school chemistry teacher and taught the school’s three levels of AP, Honors, and College-Prep Chemistry. I designed the curriculum, assessments, and other resources for these courses and gained experience working with students of a variety of skill levels. Prior to working as a teacher, I worked at a private tutoring center and helped students one-on-one in chemistry, algebra, and ACT Math and Science. I graduated summa cum laude from college and took numerous education classes that were part seminar and part placement in a high school classroom. These classes introduced me to the strategies and approaches to take in working with students and allowed me to put these into practice in actual classrooms. Since the pandemic, I have moved back to private online chemistry tutoring and have used my teaching experience to help students on an individual level to achieve their academic goals.

I spent a lot of time developing and refining the curriculum and resources and thinking about how to best deliver these to students to allow them to develop a solid understanding of the material. I still utilize many of these resources including homework sets, lecture slides, and different levels of assessments while tutoring students, and I will also use any resources provided by students/parents. In my first year of teaching AP Chemistry in 2019 my class of 24 students showed a 100% pass rate and had an average score of 4.29 on the AP Exam. In 2020, I had 14 of 15 students earn a passing score on the AP Exam. Since then, I have moved to online chemistry tutoring and have worked with hundreds of students over 4,300+ hours on Wyzant in AP, Honors, and College-Prep Chemistry.

Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule for an initial session.

Chemistry

I have four years experience working as a high school chemistry teacher and taught the school’s three levels of AP, Honors, and College-Prep Chemistry. I designed the curriculum, assessments, and other resources for these courses and refined them to most effectively deliver material to students. I also have several years experience tutoring chemistry to students on an individual level, including 4,300+ hours on Wyzant. My tutoring approach focuses on both the why and how of chemistry as I will explain to students both chemical principles and how to apply these principles in solving problems.

Best tutor ever!

Jordan has been tutoring AP Chemistry to our 11th grade son for months. He is an amazing tutor. His style of teaching is very effective. He constantly asks questions throughout the session. It makes the student think. My son loved working with Jordan. Hands down, best tutor ever!

Outstanding AP Chemistry Class

My son took the AP Chemistry class, and it was incredibly helpful. The teacher is very knowledgeable and teaches at a high level, guiding students to truly understand each concept rather than just memorize formulas. It’s an excellent class that inspires curiosity and confidence in chemistry.

Incredible tutor, both knowledgeable and patient

Jordan has helped my daughter this year get through AP Chemistry. She was struggling with the concepts and earning Bs and Cs on her quizzes and exams. With Jordan’s help, she started to really understand what was happening in the class and starting earning As and Bs on her tests and quizzes. Her stress level went down tremendously and she was better able to focus at the tasks at hand. I would highly recommend Jordan for any chemistry class.

Very knowledgeable

Jordan immediately helped my son with honors chemistry. We noticed a difference right away and now will not go to anyone else. He explains things in a way that my son understands and has always been available before tests. Great Chem tutor - Jordan really knows the material!

Mulu, 5 lessons with Jordan

Knowledgeable!

He was able to zero in on a few problem solving/process connection points that were missing. Once I figured that out, it opened up more understanding. I got a much improved grade on a test just 2 days after the first session with Jordan. Will definitely schedule again!
