About Megan


Bio

I am a university professor teaching health sciences, general, inorganic, and materials chemistry, focusing on pedagogical research. My teaching philosophy has always been that if you love what you are teaching and can convey that love to your students through your enthusiasm for the subject, your students will come to love the subject as well (or at least dislike it less). Therefore, I have always tried to convey my enthusiasm to those I have taught and tutored, believing that ultimately it...

I am a university professor teaching health sciences, general, inorganic, and materials chemistry, focusing on pedagogical research. My teaching philosophy has always been that if you love what you are teaching and can convey that love to your students through your enthusiasm for the subject, your students will come to love the subject as well (or at least dislike it less). Therefore, I have always tried to convey my enthusiasm to those I have taught and tutored, believing that ultimately it leads to students that really try to grasp the material, rather than just get a passing grade. This is why I always try to make my lessons engaging and interactive.
I developed a passion for tutoring at a very early age, starting in middle school, where I would help elementary school students in the mornings before class with their math homework. In high school, while in the IB program, I tutored my classmates in trigonometry, precalculus, and chemistry. I continued tutoring through undergraduate and graduate school, helping my peers in calculus, physical chemistry, and biochemistry classes.
I teach chemistry to students from a wide variety of different backgrounds, from our non-majors chemistry (health sciences chemistry) to upper-level chemistry (inorganic and materials); therefore, I have developed the ability to alter my teaching techniques to match my student’s level. In addition to teaching college-level chemistry, I have experience tutoring AP chemistry, honors chemistry, and IB chemistry. As a result, I have tons of content, such as worksheets, flow charts, and tables, for nearly every chemistry concept at every level that I am happy to share with my students. I am also developing resources for math topics, including pre-algebra, algebra 1 & 2, trigonometry, and precalculus. Contact me if you want to gain a better understanding of chemistry and math. We can set up an online teaching demonstration or conversation to determine how I can best help you succeed!

Beyond our expectations, wonderful Chemistry tutor

I am writing this review as a parent who hired Ms. Megan to tutor my daughter during the last month of her high school AP Chem class. My daughter had lost confidence in her abilities and was frustrated with her test grades despite her study efforts in the class. From the first session, Megan made an immediate impact on my daughters understanding of the materials. We were able to upload class materials to Megan prior to their sessions and she was always prepared and knowledgable on the specific topics so that the session time was put to its best use. Megan was articulate, friendly, encouraging and patient as she worked with my daughter during the month. The written recaps that she provided after each session were like an additional tutoring session in themselves. My daughter could print the recap and refer back to it at school when needed. In the end, my daughter was able to raise her final grade and Megan's tutoring played a significant role in this outcome. This was our first attempt at using an online tutoring platform like Wyzant and we are fortunate to have found Megan. I would recommend her without hesitation and I'm sure my daughter will keep her in mind as she navigates future chem classes.

The very best!

Megan is just phenomenal. She’s the only one who can explain Chemistry such that my daughter understands! We feel so fortunate to have found her! Her lessons are clear,

Courtney , 7 lessons with Megan

Knowledgeable and effective

Megan helped my daughter who needed to brush up on some concepts. She was prepared for the tutoring sessions and was very effective in helping her understand the concepts. After Megan's session, my daughter felt very confident in tackling her exams and scored the highest grade in her chemistry exams.

Exceptional Chemistry Tutor

Megan has been an absolute game-changer for my son Connor. Megan's expertise has helped Connor's understand chemistry thanks to her patient and tailored approach. I definitely recommend Megan to any student seeking to excel in chemistry.

Karrie, 23 lessons with Megan

Thorough, patient and knowledgeable

Our daughter feels so confident because Meghan is able to individualize her tutoring sessions. Meghan is able to breakdown concepts in Chemistry in such a way that our daughter easily understands. She takes time to give homework so that each topic is reinforced. Most of all, our daughter gives her a 10 out of 10 and looks forward to the tutoring sessions.
