With a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from Rutgers University, I bring both deep scientific expertise and a personal understanding of how students learn differently. My doctoral research focused on drug design and molecular interactions, giving me comprehensive knowledge across organic chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology. Throughout my graduate studies and subsequent work as Chief Scientific Officer of a biotech company, I've mentored undergraduate researchers, presented complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences, and developed the patience and adaptability that effective teaching requires.
My tutoring approach is rooted in breaking down complex concepts into understandable pieces and meeting students where they are. I've worked one-on-one with college students preparing for organic chemistry exams, high school students navigating AP Chemistry, and younger students building foundational science skills. I'm particularly experienced in helping students who struggle with traditional learning approaches, as I'm a parent to a daughter with dyslexia. This personal experience has taught me the importance of multiple explanation methods, visual aids, and celebrating incremental progress.
Whether you're a pre-med student tackling organic chemistry, a high school student preparing for standardized tests, or a parent seeking science enrichment for your child, I create customized lesson plans that build both understanding and confidence. I'm comfortable with classroom-style review sessions or individualized deep dives into challenging topics. My goal is not just to help you pass your next test, but to develop genuine scientific literacy and problem-solving skills that serve you long-term.
