Are you struggling with difficult math or science concepts? Do you need to boost your test scores and grades? Do you need help with study skills and time management? Let’s put together a learning plan to help you achieve your goals!

I have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Psychology, as well as a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I have taught and tutored students in many capacities over the past 20 years (10+ years tutoring and 5+ years teaching). My teaching experience includes undergraduate psychology, neuroscience, neurobiology laboratory, and statistics courses. My tutoring experience includes working with graduate, undergraduate, high school, and elementary students in subjects such as chemistry, biology, physics, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, statistics, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus.

I love math and science and enjoy sharing my passion with students. I focus on engaging the student in active participation in learning, inspiring student interest through enthusiastic presentation, using practical examples to bring relevance to material, and creating an environment of diversity and acceptance where students feel comfortable and empowered to participate.

We highly recommend Scott.

My son has struggled with chemistry from the beginning. As we were driving home after the first tutoring session he said "If I had Scott as my teacher I would not have a problem with chemistry now. He made it so easy to understand and I was comfortable asking questions from the start. I might have actually liked Chemistry." Thank you Scott!

Great Experience With Scott!

I contacted Scott to assist in the data grooming/analysis phase of my dissertation using SPSS software. Scott was extremely helpful and he went out of his way to help me understand the intricacies of the software program so that I would feel more comfortable analyzing my dissertation results. I would definitely recommend Scott O. as a tutor!
