My name is Joan. I earned my PhD in organic chemistry and I have been teaching this awesome subject since 2008. I enjoy teaching organic chemistry because I find that I can help students relate the material to their daily lives. I am meticulous and have excellent organizational skills that has enabled me to organize organic chemistry content in a way that makes it easier for students to learn and grasp the concepts. I enjoy breaking down the topics to the level of each student. I understand the challenging nature of this subject and am always determined to ensure that the student gets it. I am willing to do as many examples as I can until I am confident that the student understands the concepts.

The joy in teaching is when a student gets an aha moment! Hence my goal is to help each individual student reach this place. I am open to suggestions from my students and their parents especially with regards to student learning style. I usually respond to emails as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a lesson.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Joan is excellent and very patient. She doesn’t mind explaining over again and is a type of a tutor that doesn’t move on until she knows a student understands.

Milly, 3 lessons with Joan

Great Org Chem tutor

Joan is patient , kind, effective, and she listened to what the needs of the student were. I would recommend her for anyone who needs org chem help. Joan is also punctual and makes it a point to stop her lesson often to make sure the student is comprehending what she is teaching.

Amazing tutor, thank you very much. Really nice to have a professional explain chemistry clearly. Recommend Joan for all students.

Tara Rose, 19 lessons with Joan

A patient and very knowledgeable tutor.

I love how she tutors using repetition instead of just showing you how to do it, you work similar problems over and over again until its engraved in your brain.

Chidera, 19 lessons with Joan

Very Helpful!

Joan is very organized and gave a detailed explanation of problems I needed help with. She also had excellent suggestions for improvement.

Meaghan , 24 lessons with Joan

Explains concepts very well

Joan explains chemistry so that it's easy to understand. You cover a lot of topics with her in a short amount of time but are still able to keep up. She knows a lot about chemistry and cares to actually explain it in a way that makes sense to you.

Great tutor!!!

Joan is a great tutor! Chemistry has always been a HUGE struggle for me and Joan has helped me so much. She is super patient and really breaks down mechanisms so that you can understand. She really cares about your learning and makes sure you understand the process and logic behind topics. And she is super encouraging and kind. One of the best tutors I've had on Wyzant.

Rachel, 12 lessons with Joan

Very effective instructor!

I really appreciate that Joan breaks down long, confusing mechanisms into simple steps and highlights patterns between each reaction that I hadn't noticed before. She is also extremely patient and clear during each lesson which helps the session run smoothly.

Amira, 4 lessons with Joan

Encouraging and effective!

Highly recommend! The instruction in my classroom is a little vague and general as it accompanies 300 students, so Dr. Joan tailored it to me and my needs beyond what other tutoring has offered. While meeting me where I was, she highlighted what I understood and addressed what I can improve upon as well as developing us a game plan for the next sessions! Mechanisms are something that I struggle with in Organic Chemistry so it helped that she broke down every piece and we collaboratively talked out the process.

Devyn, 3 lessons with Joan

Knowledgeable and informative

We reviewed organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. She came prepared for the lesson with examples to practice. Very kind, patient and clear in the explanation of concepts. She was very helpful
