I've been teaching for over twelve years and have found great ways to explain content to students so that they not only do well in class and on assessments, but they grow to really love the subject of chemistry.

Hey there! I'm Erin - experienced Chemistry and AP Chemistry teacher, and AP reader turned tutor. I love helping students learn and enjoy chemistry. I've been teaching for over twelve years and have found great ways to explain content to students so that they not only do well in class and on assessments, but they grow to really love the subject of chemistry.

I am well-versed and experienced in teaching AP Chemistry. With over ten-plus years of experience in the classroom and as a tutor with a plethora of resources, I've achieved high pass rates on the AP exam. I've found the best ways to simplify concepts in order to maximize understanding and results with challenging content. I have also served as a reader (grader) for the actual AP Chemistry Exam, so I can offer many helpful tips on how to answer questions the "AP way."

Subjects I've taught: AP Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Standard Chemistry, Pre-IB Chemistry, IB Chemistry, Physical Science, and Anatomy and Physiology. I've also tutored many students through College Chemistry!

My other hobbies include: being a science nerd, health and fitness, loving animals, and raising my two daughters.

Please contact me if you want to learn Chemistry, AP Chemistry, college Chemistry, need extra help with challenging concepts, want study help and tips for Chem, or need to prepare for the AP exam and AP class! I would love to help you succeed!

My most successful students are working ahead of their class and attending class prepared and ready to learn/review material. I can teach content that has not yet been covered in class and can also help with college prep or AP Chem prep over the summer or before the start of class! This helps to minimize student stress levels at the beginning of the year and gives them a jumpstart with content.

My hours vary by week, so please reach out to me and I will work with your schedule!

Efficient, reliable, knowledgeable AP Chem tutor

We found Erin when my daughter had a high school AP Chemistry class and a teacher with a style that didn’t work for her at all. Instead of lecturing, the teacher left the students to learn on their own and just come to him with questions, so we needed a tutor who could both present the material and also help reinforce skills through practice. When you search for an AP Chem teacher on Wyzant, you get tons of promising responses, and I’m just glad that we happened to find Erin among them. She was wonderful at all the things that my daughter needed. She was able to present material for any unit — with her own slides, ready to go — provide practice questions to work on outside of the tutoring session, talk through challenging problems and concepts, and offer lots of suggestions for taking the AP exam itself. She seems very knowledgable about chemistry in general and about the kinds of problems that are on the AP test in particular. Erin is also very easy to work with. She’s extremely responsive and reliable. My daughter met with her once or sometimes twice a week for about a semester, and they always made very efficient use of their hour together. Even though our schedule changed from week to week, Erin was flexible and we were always able to find days that worked, even occasionally at short notice. The best part of working with her is that I’ve seen my daughter — always a good student but losing confidence in the early part of this class — regain her footing and, amazingly, retain her interest in chemistry, despite the tough class.

Great tutor

Erin is working through AP Chem as a refresher for my son who had it junior year and did well and who now will be placed into an advanced chemistry track at college in the fall. He is finding Erin's sessions to be super helpful. They are making great progress working through chapters and reviewing Ryan's homework. Erin is knowledgeable, efficient, adept at catering to address Ryan's questions and he is enjoying working with her. We recommend Erin.

Great Chemistry Tutor

We were struggling with my daughter’s chemistry class because her teacher wasn’t effectively explaining the concepts, which led to a lot of anxiety before tests. Thankfully, we found Erin! She took the time to go through my daughter’s study guide thoroughly, ensuring she understood the material completely. Erin’s patience and clear explanations made a huge difference in my daughter’s confidence. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future chemistry tests. Highly recommend!

Continues to Exceed Expectations

My daughter has met with Erin for over 8 months now, and Erin has exceeded our expectations in every way. She's knowledgeable, explains concepts extremely well, is reliable, and makes Chemistry enjoyable for a 17-year-old. I wish she could tutor my daughter in every subject!

AP Chemistry

My daughter feels that Erin was the best of the four Wyzant AP Chemistry tutors that we have utilized this year. Erin is very knowledgeable, very well-prepared, very organized, and very thorough. She has a nice communication style and did a fantastic job helping my daughter prepare for the AP Chemistry exam.

Erin helps students with various degree of proficiency in a subject.

We went through several tutors in Wyzant looking for a good match for my son who is a gifted student in need of direction to prep for AP Chemistry exam. While his tutoring time remained student directed, Erin elevated the prep efforts by contributing her extensive experience and at times providing Chemistry unit practice materials as well as test taking tips and tricks. I saw my sons grades going up almost instantly while growing more confident in his ability to take on AP exam in a couple of month. Erin continues to make a difference for my son in his Chemistry class and I highly recommend this experienced tutor.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Erin went through worksheets on molar mass calculations and mole conversions. She worked with my daughter on converting between grams to moles and moles to grams as well as efficiently calculating the molar mass of elements and compounds. Once my daughter observed how to do the problem, she was able to do these mostly on her own with very little guidance. She did really well with following the steps that Erin showed her, as well as rounding her answers to proper sig figs. After guidance from Erin, my daughter was surprised at how well she was understanding the content. Erin is very patient and kind and my daughter liked her method of teaching and was really excited about learning from Erin, after other failed attempts from other tutors.

In depth

Erin did a fabulous job of explaining the material thoroughly and efficiently. Even after just 1 session I feel so much more confident in my understanding.
