Hi there! My name is Francis. I am open to tutoring students in High School Chemistry, Collegiate General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry I and II, as well as Pharmacology. I attended Binghamton University, SUNY from 2018-2022 and finished with a degree in Chemistry with honors. During my time at Binghamton I participated in undergraduate chemical research studying the molecular composition of tattoo inks. I received three undergraduate research grants and the Summer Scholars and Artists Research Award through BU for excellency in research. I also worked throughout undergrad as a teaching assistant for large General Chemistry classes, assisting students with whatever questions they may have had.
Following my graduation, I worked at the Binghamton University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science conducting research into pharmacologic modeling, specifically pharmacokinetic modeling. I then moved to the National Institutes of Health where I worked in the Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory conducting analytical research into the pharmacokinetics of novel therapeutics. I often lectured on various papers, as well as attend lectures from world class leaders in the field of Pharmacology. My mentor was Dr. William D Figg Sr. I am now a PhD student in the Chemical Biology program at UNC.
I began tutoring in the spring of 2020, my second year at Binghamton. Through BU I taught Organic Chemistry I and II to small groups (3-10 students) until I graduated in the spring of 2022. At the same time I privately tutored students in General Chemistry. I believe that the best way to learn chemistry is through practice problems. Often I take students through the science behind the topic, then I walk them through one to three practice problems, and then give them problems to work on by themselves. At that point the session will be similar to an office hour where the students and I will work through confusing topics and problems, as well as go over any specific questions they have that may not have been covered.
