I have a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Arkansas, a minor in mathematics, and more than 20 years of experience teaching and tutoring science and math. I currently work full-time as a senior researcher in the Department of Pathology at Stony Brook University’s medical school and tutor in my spare time. Over the years, I have worked with students at different levels and have developed an extensive collection of teaching materials, practice problems, and interactive online resources.
My tutoring approach focuses on understanding rather than memorization. I guide students through problems step by step, help them identify the underlying concepts, and encourage them to develop the reasoning needed to solve similar problems independently. I also enjoy connecting chemistry and math to real-world applications, especially in science and medicine, so students can see why the material matters and gain confidence in using it.
