My name is Kyler, and I look forward to working with you! I am a graduate student with an M.S. in chemistry and several years of experience guiding students through challenging chemical coursework. Beyond my own research, I have worked as a teaching assistant across lower- and upper-division undergraduate chemistry coursework, leading lab sections, holding office hours, and supporting students through difficult material. I have also mentored high school and undergraduate researchers in laboratory techniques and data analysis workflows, which has sharpened my ability to identify where a student is stuck and find a way through it. I provide tutoring that helps students deepen their understanding of concepts, solve problems, complete assignments, and prepare for exams.

My niche is data analysis and instrumentation within chemical systems, particularly quantitative analysis, analytical chemistry, and instrumental analysis. I have direct hands-on experience with a wide variety of instrumental techniques and am comfortable discussing both theory and practice. Additionally, I tutor MATLAB for chemistry applications, including plotting, regression, numerical calculations, statistics, and code troubleshooting.

My approach is student-centered, emphasizing intuition and pattern recognition within underlying systems. Memorization is rarely the best approach and I aim to find the conceptual framework that comes most naturally to each student while exploring complementary perspectives to expand understanding. Sessions are primarily online, with optional local in-person meetings within a 5-mile radius. I am available evenings and weekends to accommodate busy schedules.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I specialize in the quantitative and instrumental aspects of chemistry, focusing on the practical application of analytical techniques to solve laboratory challenges. My expertise includes the operation, data interpretation, and troubleshooting of HPLC, GC, NMR, FTIR, Raman, and UV-Vis. I guide students through the nuances of method validation—including the determination of limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ)—and the statistical evaluation of precision and accuracy. By emphasizing structural characterization, peak integration, and signal-to-noise optimization, I help students move beyond raw instrument output to produce rigorous, well-analyzed laboratory reports.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I specialize in using MATLAB for chemical data analysis, focusing on the development of structured scripts for processing instrumental outputs and performing rigorous statistical evaluation. My expertise includes implementing linear and non-linear regression for curve fitting, signal processing for spectroscopic data (such as filtering and peak analysis), and creating publication-quality visualizations from raw datasets. I prioritize teaching idiomatic MATLAB practices, focusing on vectorization and clear data structures to help students avoid common debugging pitfalls and improve code readability. By bridging the gap between chemical theory and computational execution, I help students build robust tools for quantitative analysis and lab report automation.
