I discovered my preference for teaching and helping those that struggle with understanding concepts during my graduate work. I have a passion for learning and for learning the most effective routes for concept building. This is the basis of how I structure my tutoring sessions regardless of subject. I believe that conceptual understanding followed by appropriate application of learned tools for maneuvering within the concept is the key to learning and internalizing a subject as opposed to rote or temporary memorization information.

I have 3 AA degrees from Palomar College, a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from UCSD, and a Masters of Science in Chemistry from UCSD. I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant for undergraduates at UCSD for 2 years, been a private tutor on and off for 20+ years, and have worked as a chemist for the last 10 years .

I am bilingual in Spanish, raised in Peru, with parents fluent in Spanish and English.

I specialize in Chemistry (including college level courses) and Math (any level through the Calculus series).

I do have a 4 hr cancellation policy (in case of those "woke up sick" scenarios.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you find a learning style that works for you!

My previous teaching experience has been described above but where I really learned teaching techniques, and how to apply them, came from my graduate degree requirements. We were required to teach as a TA for at least 1 quarter of the school years. I enjoyed it so much I taught all 10 quarters I was there (summers included).

Chemistry

Chemistry

At UCSD I received my BS in Chemistry and my MS in Chemistry. My undergraduate coursework included thorough work in general, analytical, physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry. My graduate studies revolved specifically around analytical, physical, environmental, atmospheric and relevant organic chemistry. As part of my graduate education I was a teacher's assistant for 10 quarters where I taught general chemistry lab, organic chemistry synthesis lab, and instrumental analysis lab. I was responsible for instructing 24 students per quarter and was wholly responsible for their 6 lab instruction hours per week while they had 2-3 hours of lecture with the professor. I have tutored in the age ranges of 10-40 in a wide variety of subjects and have previously taught children's group music classes for ages 3-10.

Genevieve is wonderful!

Genevieve is a wonderful tutor! She is very patient and knowledgeable. Genevieve is outstanding at breaking down complex information and works with my daughter to make sure she understands the material completely. My daughter really enjoys her tutoring sessions with Genevieve and raves about how much she learns from Genevieve in just one hour of tutoring! Genevieve is truly outstanding and we are very fortunate to be able to work with her!

Claudia, 6 lessons with Genevieve

Knowledgeable, directive and patient

Genevieve is organized and knowledgeable. She comes prepared to help our teens understand the material and ensure they are caught up on assignments and learning. We highly recommend her.

Maribel, 1 lesson with Genevieve

A great tutor!

Always has a new approach for solving chemistry problems. Very interesting. Taught me how to approach a chemistry problem at different angles.

Robert, 5 lessons with Genevieve

Whe she is recommended?

She is able to help break down tricky concepts into easily understandable concepts. She has a lot of patience and she is fun to talk with. She also has a wide range of abilities with both chemistry and mathematics.

Erik, 2 lessons with Genevieve

Had made complex problems more simple.

She helped me to understand thermal chemistry calculations more. I got an A on the report. I feel more confident that I'll pass the class. Thermal chemistry was the most difficult topic in general chemistry for me. But now I have a better understanding of it thanks to Genevieve.

Robert, 5 lessons with Genevieve

Very patient and flexible with what I had to learn.

I appreciated the comfortable atmosphere along with the context she gave which allowed me to understand why I was doing what I was doing. She asks me what I know about a problem and we work together to figure out how to do it. Calculus tends to be very hard for me but this sort of method definitely helped!

Betty, 2 lessons with Genevieve

Jumped right in and helped

She quickly oriented to where my daughter was struggling and hopped right in, broke things down to a consumable format and started to teach. Great experience.

Great Tutor

Helped my daughter with her AP Chemistry...She's very knowledgeable and patient and clearly knows how to teach the material. My daughter was super relieved to have had her help.

Wendy, 3 lessons with Genevieve

Good help

Genevieve helped my son go over some gaps in understanding. Seemed to go well. We will use her services again in the future.
