Hi, I’m Dr. Jacque! I hold a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania, concentrated on Biochemistry. There, I assistant taught Biochemistry, General Chemistry, and Gen Chem for Engineers; I graded for Biology lab; I tutored students in general chemistry and biochemistry; mentored undergraduate and graduate students in biochemistry, research, technical writing, data analysis; and I volunteered in a west Philly high school chemistry classroom.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jacque! I hold a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania, concentrated on Biochemistry. There, I assistant taught Biochemistry, General Chemistry, and Gen Chem for Engineers; I graded for Biology lab; I tutored students in general chemistry and biochemistry; mentored undergraduate and graduate students in biochemistry, research, technical writing, data analysis; and I volunteered in a west Philly high school chemistry classroom. Before that, I received a BS in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh where I assistant taught in various chemistry labs. After my PhD, I went on to do a postdoctoral fellowship at University of California-San Diego before pursuing a pharmaceutical research career. In summary, I formally taught at the undergraduate level for 3 years and have been informally tutored and volunteered over the course of 8 years; my students have gone on to graduate from top-tier medical schools, graduate schools, and even start their own company!
My high school chemistry teacher had a PhD and heavily influenced me to study chemistry and ultimately get a PhD myself, and I am thrilled for the opportunity to carry that inspiration forward. I adopt his teaching style, holding you to a high standard, believing that you are truly capable of subject mastery, while also meeting you where you are and breaking down concepts into their most basic parts. This has clear results: not only did I ace the AP chemistry exam, I started college as a sophomore and saved myself thousands of tuition dollars. Let’s work together to achieve your chemistry goals, whether that’s impressing the admissions board of your dream college, testing out of freshman year chemistry, or getting a leg up in organic chemistry and biochemistry—I’m here for you!
Finally, as a native of the Appalachian rust belt having worked my way through the various educational ranks, I am passionate about breaking down barriers to an elite education. I hope we have the chance to work together!
