About Gwo


Bio

With both my Bachelor and PhD degrees in chemistry, I am fully qualified to teach chemistry at all levels in high school! That includes General, Honors, and AP Chemistry, as well as the ACS (American Chemical Society) Chemistry Olympiad competition.

I incorporate detailed PowerPoint presentations, Flash games, Virtual Labs, Animation movies, and 3-D molecular models into my chemistry lessons. Under my instruction, 75% of my students receive a full letter grade improvement in just one...

With both my Bachelor and PhD degrees in chemistry, I am fully qualified to teach chemistry at all levels in high school! That includes General, Honors, and AP Chemistry, as well as the ACS (American Chemical Society) Chemistry Olympiad competition.

I incorporate detailed PowerPoint presentations, Flash games, Virtual Labs, Animation movies, and 3-D molecular models into my chemistry lessons. Under my instruction, 75% of my students receive a full letter grade improvement in just one month.

Many students who have trouble with chemistry may also struggle in math. In addition to chemistry, I can teach Math: Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Since I can teach both subjects, you won't need to hire two separate tutors: instead, you can hire one chemistry tutor and one math tutor for the cost of one. I can teach chemistry only, math only, or both subjects consecutively, depending on the student's needs.

The AP courses are designed to be the equivalent of the general course taken in college. ACT and SAT are both standardized tests designed to measure students' critical thinking skills and to assess their ability to apply knowledge and logic when solving problems. I also teach AP, ACT and SAT chemistry and math to help my students maximize their AP, ACT or SAT score so that they can remain competitive among many other applicants.

The California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) program has been developed for prospective teachers in California. I passed all CSET tests for both Chemistry and Math! That means that I am certified to teach both subjects. A certified tutor who has the right credentials will provide a better teaching experience to tutor students!

I have a great attitude, and work hard to prepare my lectures before each tutoring session, incorporating multimedia components in my teaching lecture to better explain concepts to my students. My goal is to see your child succeed. I am flexible, patient, helpful, and enthusiastic about the subjects I teach. I

Great lesson

knew his stuff. Helped my daughter my daughter understand the material she was stuck on. She is now ready to take her exam.

Knowledgeable

I liked that Gwo used the graphs to help explain the Slope Intercept Concepts to my son. He was straight to the point that I could appreciate. I liked that he was able to help both of my children with math and that he would be able to continue to help my children with math all the way through high school.

Great Tutor

My son says he is very patient and explains everything so that he can understands. He even ask us to send him the homework assignments so he can fully be prepared to tutor my son. That is above and beyond!
