Bio

I specialize in SAT/ACT and organic chemistry tutoring, but am able to tutor in general chemistry, algebra, and geometry as well.

I taught organic chemistry I and II at University of Maryland while getting my masters degree. After struggling through these classes in college, I made it my mission to help my students in ways my TA's didn't for me.

I specialize in SAT/ACT and organic chemistry tutoring, but am able to tutor in general chemistry, algebra, and geometry as well.

I taught organic chemistry I and II at University of Maryland while getting my masters degree. After struggling through these classes in college, I made it my mission to help my students in ways my TA's didn't for me. I love being able to make a difference for students and see them succeed in a very challenging subject! Chemistry doesn't have to be impossible to learn, but it does take practice and a knowledgeable instructor. I want to keep teaching a part of my life outside of graduate school which is why I started tutoring!

Please contact me if you struggle with chemistry! I'm a very dedicated instructor and would be happy to work to YOUR learning style to help you succeed! I've been able to help many students improve their test grades and increase their understanding after starting with Wyzant, either through semester-long sessions or before-exam cram sessions! I'm always happy to help.

knowledgeable tutor

My son has had 2 lessons, so far so good. Courtney is reliable- good communication and always on time. She seems to have strong knowledge at a high level in inorganic chemistry.

Carol, 5 lessons with Courtney

makes everything easy to understand

Explains things very easily. Only problem is that we had some interference/static noises at times. Otherwise it was a great session!

Alisha, 1 lesson with Courtney

Tutoring Went Great!

Courtney did a great job helping me understand nuclear stability! This is my second session with her and I am confident that I will do well on my upcoming test since we are working thru all the chapter review problems for this course.

Linda, 6 lessons with Courtney

Excellent!

I had a great session with Courtney. She's hilarious, patient and gives great examples that really helps you grasps the subject.

Paige, 4 lessons with Courtney

Knowledgable, patient, and understanding tutor

After the first time I met with Courtney my test grade more than doubled. She is very patient and creative in explaining concepts. Courtney comes up with unique techniques for remembering things and gives thorough explanations for every topic. She's a fantastic tutor who makes Organic Chemistry a little less frightening of a subject.

Colleen, 3 lessons with Courtney

Knowledgeable and clear

Courtney has been breaking down Organic Chemistry so simply and easy to understand. I have the worst professor who I can't understand and assumes you know everything. Courtney uses our time efficiently and covers material thoroughly and each time I feel more comfortable and confident with the subject!
