Master Chemistry Easily | Engaging, Results-Driven Tutoring

Derrick J.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from Salem State University and have over eight years of experience teaching science, specializing in Chemistry at the high school level. My career has taken me through various academic environments, including vocational schools, charter schools, and traditional public schools. This has given me the ability to support a wide range of learners, from advanced students to those who require targeted interventions and language support. I am well-versed in adapting lessons for English Language Learners and students with disabilities, ensuring that all learners can access and master complex scientific concepts.

Throughout my career, I have taught both in full classroom settings and one-on-one support environments. I focus on making Chemistry approachable by connecting abstract concepts to real-world examples, allowing students to see the relevance and application of what they’re learning. Whether it’s guiding students through molar conversions, balancing chemical equations, or understanding atomic structure, I break topics down into manageable steps that build confidence and lead to mastery.

My approach is highly relational and student-centered. I take the time to understand each student’s learning style and tailor my instruction accordingly. This has consistently resulted in higher engagement and improved academic outcomes, even among students who previously struggled with science. I am passionate about helping students not only improve their grades but also develop a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject.
