I started tutoring students as a freshmen at Drexel in 2007. I graduated from Drexel University in 2011 with a major in Chemistry Education and obtained my Chemistry teaching certificate in Pennsylvania before moving and becoming a certified chemistry teacher in Delaware. I am currently teaching Chemistry 1 and AP Chemistry at Odessa High School in Townsend, DE as well as coaching wrestling. I live in Townsend with my wife and 4 children. I have taught high school chemistry and physical science in West Philadelphia and tutored students at Universities like Saint Josephs, Villanova, and Drexel University. My students have had a 100 percent pass rate in AP Chemistry since we started the AP program in 2022. 7 out of 14 students in the 23-24 school year earned a 5 on the exam. We beat the state and global scores by over an entire point on the exam. I am highly motivated and enjoy teaching science.

Great tutor - flexible with scheduling and easy to contact

Shawn has been a great help in our daughter's Chemistry studies. It is one thing to know the topic, and quite another to be able to explain topics to a student who is frustrated and lacking any level of confidence in the class. Shawn explains the material in a way that our daughter understands it, and is honest with her about topics that are in fact more challenging. Our daughter now believes that Chemistry is something she can handle, and that is completely due to Shawn's tutoring. Beyond the actual Chemistry work, my daughter is a student-athlete with commitments and schedules that can change daily. She is also not so good about letting me know when she needs some tutor-time either (ugh :) ). Despite these challenges Shawn is just a text away and is so incredibly accommodating about moving times or even coming over same day if possible. With both parents working and 3 other kids to chauffeur around, it's a huge benefit that Shawn comes to our house to do the tutoring - he even takes time to say hi to our dog. :)

My daughter enjoys Shawn. She understands every aspect thought. I’m so grateful we found him. He is very patient and kind and pays great attention to details.

Patient and Flexible

Shawn has been helpful in helping me learn chemistry. Every time I need help on a topic he always takes the time to talk through it and even through practice problems. Scheduling is usually a problem for online sessions but Shawn has always been flexible with respect to my time.

Knowledgeable and very patient tutor

Shawn taught Lewis dot structural formulas for ionic and molecular compounds. He was knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and very structured. The Chem test result was outstanding!

Great Help for our 10th Grader

Shawn is an excellent Chemistry teacher and tutor. After only a couple sessions our daughter was getting much better results. Would definitely recommend.

First time using online tutoring

This is the first time we used online tutoring and it worked great. Shawn was a great help to my son in preparing him for a chem test. Would definitely recommend him and the online tutoring!

Knowledgeable, caring, patient

After one AP Chemistry session with Shawn, I believe my daughter has gotten some confidence back. She was ready to give up and accept the low grade she was getting. He helped her by giving her a different approach on problem solving and guiding her and letting her work the problems. We spoke after the lesson and I can tell that he loves teaching the younger generation and is inspired by there energy and wants to help them get through the struggle! Great tutor, flexible - Wish I had found him earlier!

Great chemistry tutor

Shawn was very helpful with tutoring our 10th grader in chemistry. Not only was he very clear with explaining the material, but he was also very flexible and generous with his time. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of chemistry lessons.

Very Patient Chem Tutor- Would recommend

Shawn was my tutor this summer when I took accelerated college chem I in six weeks instead of fifteen. Shawn was very patient and made sure that we took as much time as was needed to completely understand the material. He also was flexible with his schedule and made sure to contact me about scheduling tutoring sessions. I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who needs a chemistry tutor.

Great Chem Tutor!

Shawn tutored our son in Honors Chemistry (10th grade) throughout this past school year. Shawn is very patient and he is very accessible. He worked very well with our son, vastly improving his grades. Also, Shawn had a very flexible schedule, and he was easy to reach and work with. Thank you Shawn!
