I believe that the underlying principles of scientific fields can be understood by an average student. Understanding these foundations will make progressively more complex exercises follow logically. With this approach, the subject material can be mastered with a minimum of memorization.

Chemistry

Chemistry

I am a licensed physician and former research scientist at Johns Hopkins. I have multiple publications in the areas of cerebrovascular physiology and brain chemistry. I did my first tutoring while I was a student in medical school. While I was in active practice, I worked periodically with adults going back to class while in the workforce. More recently, I have worked with dozens of chemistry students from high school, college, and graduate school, both online and live in-person.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I am a licensed physician and former research scientist at Johns Hopkins. I have multiple publications in the area of cerebrovascular physiology and brain chemistry. I did my first tutoring in organic chemistry while I was a student in medical school. More recently I have worked with many college students studying organic, mostly online.
Physiology

Physiology

I am a licensed physician and I am board certified in critical care medicine and anesthesiology. Formerly, I was a research scientist at Johns Hopkins. I have multiple publications in the areas of cerebrovascular physiology and brain chemistry. I did some tutoring while in medical school. During my active years of practice I worked occasionally with adult students going back to class while in the workforce. More recently I have been tutoring students from high school level to post-graduate.

Best All-Chemistry Tutor (including Organic)

Steve helped me a lot understanding my organic chemistry lectures for an online, self-paced course. He explained things in simple terms, drew structures, pulled out 3D molecules to help me grasp concepts. I have worked with him for a couple of months and he helped me ACE a course that I had a hard time understanding. I was applying to grad schools for nursing programs and highly recommend him even if you have been out of touch with your chemistry skills for a long time. Additionally, Steve works with your schedule ( it was very important for me to meet with someone in person), he accommodated for that including meeting locations that best supported my learning. You really won't find a better tutor than Steve who shows his passion for chemistry and care for his students to succeed!

Very knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Steve helped me review some introductory topics I was having r trouble with. Nomenclature, geometry, the octet rule. I got 100% on my test. He was also very patient and kind with all my scattered questions. Thank you Steve!

Knowledgeable and patient.

Steve was a huge help for my college daughter with her chemistry class. He helped her understand the concepts she wasn't fully grasping and got her caught up in class. We will use Steve again for any other subjects he tutors in. Highly recommended!

Responsive Tutor

My son has regular sessions with steve but was having a difficult time with latest chemistry subject and Steve was able to accommodate our schedule and help my son out. He is always prompt as well. He is a good communicator.
