4th year chemistry major at Emory University

Hello!
I am a senior at Emory University in Atlanta, GA majoring in chemistry and minoring in environmental science. I have been familiar with chemistry since my sophomore year in high school. I took honors and AP chemistry in high school. Now, I have taken the general education classes, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry college classes, and I am involved with chemical research at Emory. I am super passionate about chemistry and would love the opportunity to help you!

Furthermore, I have experience as a teaching assistant for science classes, where I have lead discussions and office hours to help the students. In addition, I have often graded tests, so I have the point of view of those that have graded your exams. I think my most valuable trait is that not long ago I was learning these topics for the first time, so I understand what is like in your shoes. I can approach problems the way students will and can explain concepts in simpler terms. I know I can help you succeed in your chemistry course!

To reiterate, I am a chemistry major. I have a 4.0 in my major classes. I have taken two semesters of general chemistry, which covers: stoichiometry, thermodynamics, acid-base reactions, Red-Ox reactions, solubility, and the basics of physical chemistry. I have, also, taken three semesters of organic chemistry, which covers: IUPAC nomenclature, lewis structures, functional groups, and common organic reactions, hyperconjugation, and orbitals. I have also completed courses for quantum mechanics and multiple lab courses, so I can help with lab reports. In addition, in high school, I took honors and AP chemistry.

I am really flexible when it comes to scheduling. I know that together we can improve your understanding, confidence, and test-taking strategies.

Lastly, a parting chemistry joke. Why can't you trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
