I hold a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Colorado Boulder and a BS in Chemistry (Specialized Curriculum) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (graduated with highest distinction). I have 10+ years of teaching chemistry through volunteering, one-on-one tutoring, and working as a teaching assistant at the college level. I have held office hours, given college lectures, and facilitated group study sessions. My teaching approach is to gradually lead students through problems with guiding questions, which allows them to build on what they already know; this method then teaches them problem solving skills they can use outside the tutoring sessions. While most of my experience is in tutoring college level students, I also have experience developing curriculum for preparation of the Advanced Placement (AP) exam in Chemistry that aspiring high school students can take.
