Personal Tutor for Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry
I love to learn, and I love to teach. I find each day exciting because there's something new I will learn! My teaching approach is not memorization, but rather to learn the basic principles of the subject at hand; once the basics are understood, solving specific problems becomes easier. I have over twelve years of tutoring experience, having taught in the Army, and also to students privately.

Knowledgeable and clear
We've covered all the important formulas and learned how to use them and did a lot of example problems so I understood the topic really well. He's also patient. If I don't get the wording to an explanation in the book, he alters the words until I get it and explains it deeply. He's a great tutor!

John is a really good, knowledgeable teacher
John was able to clear many of the doubts my daughter had in AP chemistry. He has a PhD in Chemistry so his grasp on the subject is incredible. He was very patient in explaining everything to her and would be an amazing resource on the subject!

knowledgeable and patient
This is from my student: Dr. K taught me the many ways to factor out quadratic expressions/equations. He taught me how to graph quadratic equations and how to solve story problems involving quadratics. He was very patient; he taught in a way that made sense to me. He assigned homework to reinforce what we learned in our session. I appreciated the extra practice! He also has a great sense of humor that can make studying more fun! I looked forward to weekly session!

Knowledgeable, Helpful, and Flexible
John K has been a great match for our son. He is very knowledgeable about chemistry, and explains it in a way that our son can understand. He helps us in trying to do both "catch up" and current schoolwork. He is flexible with planned changes to the schedule. We would highly recommend John K.

Patient and knowledgeable tutor
My daughter just had her first meeting with John for help with College Chemistry and was extremely pleased. Hannah liked how he would not just help her with answers but explained things so that she could build her own knowledge base. Hannah liked how he had helpful ways to remember things. We are going back for more sessions - which says a lot as the drive is well over an hour for me.
