I hold a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Kansas, where I completed advanced graduate level coursework and research in physical chemistry, spectroscopy, and quantum mechanics, earning a cumulative GPA of 3.83. I also earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Missouri Kansas City with a GPA of 3.82 and magna cum laude honors, and I hold a professional certificate in Spectroscopy from the University of Manchester. This academic background provides me with a strong foundation to tutor a wide range of math and science subjects, including algebra, trigonometry, calculus, general chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and physics
I have over ten years of combined tutoring and instructional experience working with students ranging from middle school through undergraduate students and adult learners. My teaching experience includes one on one tutoring, small group instruction, university classroom support and online education. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Kansas, I taught General, Organic, and Analytical Chemistry, where I led laboratory sections, instructed students on instrumental and spectroscopic techniques, and guided students in applying theoretical concepts to real experimental data. I have also provided individualized tutoring to middle school, high school, homeschooled, college, and adult students enrolled in intensive courses.
My tutoring approach emphasizes learning concepts from first principles rather than memorization. I break complex equations and ideas into clear logical steps and use visual and physical intuition to build understanding. I adapt my teaching style to each student`s background, pace, and goals, particularly for students who feel overwhelmed by fast paced or mathematically demanding material. Alongside live tutoring, I create STEM instructional content on YouTube from algebra to quantum mechanics enhancing my ability to communicate abstract concepts clearly and effectively.
