Candidate for Doctorate of Philosophy in Chemistry

Lakeeta S.

Hello! My name is Lakeeta, and I am a dedicated educator with a passion for helping students build confidence and succeed in math and science.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Physics and a Master's degree in Chemistry, and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate specializing in Computational Chemistry. In addition to tutoring, I currently serve as a high school Chemistry teacher, Science Fair Coordinator, and Science Department Chair. These roles allow me to work closely with students at various academic levels while helping them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

I also spent four years instructing chemistry laboratories at Jackson State University, where I taught chemistry concepts, mathematical applications, laboratory techniques, and scientific reasoning. This experience strengthened my ability to explain complex topics in ways that are both engaging and easy to understand.

For more than six years, I have tutored students from elementary school through college in subjects including Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. I have experience working with students individually, remotely, and in small-group settings.

My tutoring approach is centered on patience, encouragement, and adaptability. Every student learns differently, so I tailor lessons to fit each student's learning style, academic needs, and personal goals. I enjoy connecting concepts to real-world situations, making learning more meaningful and helping students gain lasting understanding rather than simply memorizing information.

One of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is watching students grow in both confidence and achievement. Whether you need help mastering difficult concepts, preparing for an exam, improving grades, or strengthening your academic foundation, I am committed to helping you reach your goals.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to academic success!
