Yi G. Chemistry/Calculus/Chinese, Problem Solving and Test Prep

Yi G.

I have a decade of experience of tutoring on various online platforms and working as a teaching assistant, specializing in high-school and college-level chemistry, math and physics subjects, as well as Chinese language and culture.

I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from USTC and performed graduate research in Organic Chemistry at UGA. My academic achievements include 2nd prizes in Chemistry and Math Olympiads, a full score in GRE Quantitative, and top 2% in the GRE Chemistry Subject test.

With a solid foundation in math and science, I bring a wealth of problem-solving and test-prep skills in addition to classroom concepts and principles. I always tailor my approaches to each student’s needs and learning styles, challenging them with thought-provoking questions and encouraging them to explore beyond the textbook. In doing so, I have helped more than 50 students improve academic performance and grades.

Meanwhile, as a native Chinese speaker with a full K12 education in China, I share my expertise on the Chinese language, culture, literature and history with American students. I write poems and articles about China’s past and present on Chinese language newspapers.

One of my memorable success stories involved a long-time student who began school with a fear of math. He had a good understanding of concepts but lacked flexibility in strategies. I helped him by breaking down complex problems, exploring different strategies and doing supplementary practice. He gained confidence, excelled in tests, and eventually entered college as a math major.
