About Stephen


Bio

What makes me the tutor you should choose?

One, I have the credentials and plenty of experience. I have a Ph.D. in chemistry from Texas A&M. In addition to tutoring online and in-person for many years, I have taught in university and college classrooms in multiple places in the US. These things make me not only knowledgeable about chemistry course content but required me to determine how best to approach each topic or unit.

Second, one of my Meyer-Briggs strengths is adaptability....

What makes me the tutor you should choose?

One, I have the credentials and plenty of experience. I have a Ph.D. in chemistry from Texas A&M. In addition to tutoring online and in-person for many years, I have taught in university and college classrooms in multiple places in the US. These things make me not only knowledgeable about chemistry course content but required me to determine how best to approach each topic or unit.

Second, one of my Meyer-Briggs strengths is adaptability. Different students are challenged by different things; for one it might be visualizing abstract concepts, for another it might the math required. I excel at meeting students where they are at, determining what students comprehend, where they struggle, and how I can build up their proficiency and especially their confidence.

Third, my reviews and evaluations over many years reveal specific skills I have. I make complex things understandable. I create an environment where students are very comfortable answering and asking questions. I am patient, I am good humored. I regularly give students proven strategies and approaches to problem solving and test-taking.

Fourth, I get results. I have seen students increase whole letter grades (or two) after working with me.

Chemistry

I have successfully taught chemistry students in college classrooms, in-person, and online from diverse backgrounds and sometimes with little to no chemistry experience including adult learners returning to school after time away. I have a proven ability to create an effective, interactive, good-humored learning environment that includes strategies for problem-solving and test-taking. Faculty teaching upper level courses have told me that my General Chemistry students are well-prepared for their courses and have excellent foundational knowledge of chemistry.

knowledgable and patient tutor.

Dr. C explains difficult concepts in a clear way, especially topics that are overwhelming or hard to understand. He is great at figuring out why I am confused rather than just repeating explanations. I have noticed a large improvement in my grades, test taking skills and confidence with chemistry. I feel way more prepared for exams than I did in the past.

great tutor!

Stephan worked with my son before a chemistry test and really helped him get a better understanding of the material. Made a huge difference in how he did on the exam. My son will definitely be working with Stephen again.

Amazing Tutor

I’ve struggled finding a tutor who’s passionate and dedicated until i found Stephen. He puts his heart and souls into his work and it’s clear how intelligent he is. He’s truly amazing at what he does if you’re looking for a tutor you found the right guy!

Amazing lesson

Stephen is an amazing teacher. Extremely thorough on his teaching process. He teaches in a way your brain can connect the dots and truly understand the problem. He doesn’t prepare you for just one type of problems he teaches in a way that the concepts can correlate to any problem.

Knowledgable and Simplifies the Hardest Concepts

Dr.C has transformed my chem learning experience. I usually found chem hard and therefore never enjoyed it but when working with him, chem remains equally hard but I begin to enjoy the process because he explains complex concepts in a way that is digestible and understandable - he makes sure to break down the hardest concepts to make sure you understand every step of it. Dr. C, thank you for what you've helped me with so far, and can't wait to continue working with you.
