Hello! My name is Elliot and I am a PhD student in Chemical Engineering at University of Delaware. I graduated with High Distinction from Purdue University in 2025 and have always had a love for Chemistry and explaining those concepts that really just don't always make sense to people. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering are really tough and includes a lot of ideas and concepts that aren't intuitive but having someone to help guide you through it makes it much easier.
I have experience as a teaching assistant and research assistant as well as a tutor to friends and classmates. My general tutoring strategy relies on connecting the dots between the concepts that you need to learn and the ways that they parallel the things you already understand about how life works.
For example, many students struggle with the non-intuitive nature of entropy! Entropy describes the concept of disorder of a system that the universe is constantly trying to maximize. Entropy is like a neat deck of cards that naturally scatters across the floor if dropped, transitioning from perfect order to complete chaos. Left alone, the cards will never spontaneously fly back into a neat stack because the universe always favors a messy spread over a perfect arrangement.
