Bio

I have my master's degree in chemistry. I started tutoring in 2001 at Rowan University as I was finishing up my bachelor's degree. I continued tutoring outside of Rowan even as I worked in the industry for six years. I continued tutoring while I was in grad school.

I have my master's degree in chemistry. I started tutoring in 2001 at Rowan University as I was finishing up my bachelor's degree. I continued tutoring outside of Rowan even as I worked in the industry for six years. I continued tutoring while I was in grad school. I have always enjoyed tutoring and the satisfaction of being able to help students understand chemistry as it affects the world around us. I use simple illustrations to teach the concept and process first before I apply it to the chemistry. During my master's degree, I was a teaching assistant for organic chemistry labs and for "Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry." I have also taken a course on methods and theories of instructional design - where we've learned how to teach chemistry.

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have my master's degree in chemistry. These courses are the basic building blocks to all other chemistry courses that I have taken. Additionally, I have tutored general chemistry (aka chemistry) for over 10 years. I am comfortable with both high school and college level chemistry courses.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I was a TA, teaching assistant, for 2.5 years who taught organic chemistry labs. In past summers, I have taught many students, over 20, organic chemistry so that they will have an advantage when they take it in the fall. Additionally I have tutored quite a few students who were taking organic chemistry during their classes. The majority of my online business is tutoring organic chemistry.

Catherine saved my daughter!

Catherine saved my daughter! My daughter struggled in Organic Chemistry 1, but then hit a wall in Orgo 2. I tried to help her study, but this material is hard. We needed help, but with my daughter’s busy schedule, finding time for a tutor was difficult. Catherine was a godsend. First, her expertise was incredible! She took the teacher’s notes and explained them better than the teacher. Whatever questions my daughter had, Catherine knew the answers off the top of her head, or had them at her fingertips. More than once she said, I bet a question like this will be on your exam, and she was right. Second, critically for us, tutoring is Catherine’s full time job, not a side hustle, so she had fabulous availability, and she made extra time available before tests to squeeze in review time. My daughter went from certain failure, to being the student other students turned to for help! Catherine is the Mary Poppins of Chemistry tutoring!

Patient, personable, and able to quickly assess new student’s needs

Despite omitting to provide Catherine with material in advance of session, Catherine was able to adapt quickly and provide easy-to-understand learning material so that my son was able to understand concepts he previously had difficulties grasping just in time for his finals. Thank you, Catherine!

Amazing Tutor, Org Chem Master!

I’m not sure I’d have able to pass Organic Chemistry without Catherine, she is patient and explains things in as much detail as you need to make sure you understand. I WILL be going back to her for Organic Chemistry 2.

phenomenal tutor

As a student with ADHD it is imperative to me that my tutor is not only good at explaining subject material in a simple way, but that they are also kind and patient. Catherine checks all of these boxes!! I regret not finding her sooner!

Chemistry

Catherine has been the best tutor I’ve worked with on this app so far! She was incredibly helpful during my General Chemistry review session and really took the time to make sure I understood each concept. Whenever I was confused or struggling to grasp something, she patiently explained it in different ways until it finally clicked. I appreciated how she never made me feel rushed or discouraged—her calm and supportive attitude made a huge difference. She broke down complex topics into simple, easy-to-follow explanations that actually made chemistry make sense to me. Catherine’s patience, clarity, and genuine dedication to helping students learn truly stand out. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needs extra help in chemistry!

Incredible Tutor Who Truly Cares

I truly can’t recommend my tutor enough! She was always quick to respond, on time, and explained problems in a way that really clicked with me. What I appreciated most was how comfortable she made me feel — I never felt embarrassed to say I didn’t understand something or to ask her to go over it again. She walked me through problems step by step, which helped me build real understanding and confidence. Thanks to her support, I passed my second chemistry class and was able to complete the whole series to graduate. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her!

Exceptional Organic Chemistry Tutor

Chatrine was phenomenal! She helped my college student daughter with organic chemistry and made a huge difference in her understanding and confidence. Her teaching style was clear, patient, and supportive, and she really knew how to explain complex concepts in a way that made sense. We are so grateful for her help! she truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend!
