Chemistry can frequently feel like a foreign language, but with the right guidance, any student can master it. I am a certified Connecticut public school science teacher and college adjunct professor with a B.S. in Biochemistry (Magna Cum Laude) and an M.S. in Science Education. Over my career, I have taught chemistry at every single academic level, from foundational high school chemistry and community-designed courses to rigorous Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) curricula. Additionally, I teach General Chemistry at the college level for science majors, nursing candidates, and engineering students.
Because I am actively teaching in the classroom and design curriculum, I know exactly where students typically stumble, how standardized exams like the AP test are structured, and what skills are required to transition seamlessly from high school to college-level STEM coursework.
Classroom teachers have to teach to the middle of the room. In our one-on-one sessions, the focus is entirely on you. I excel at diagnosing the exact gap in a student's foundational understanding, whether it's balancing equations, understanding the mole concept, or decoding periodic trends, and repairing it using tailored explanations that click with your specific learning style.
I pride myself on maintaining an encouraging, low-stress environment where students feel safe asking questions and making mistakes until they find their footing. Let's work together to take the stress out of science!
