Hi, I’m a certified Chemistry and Biology educator with over 17 years of experience helping students succeed in science—from high school and college coursework to competitive exams like the USNCO (Chemistry Olympiad).

I have never once questioned whether I have the heart of a teacher. I want to use every ounce of knowledge I have gained and every drop of experience from my years in the classroom to aid in your learning and growth! If you are willing to work for it, then I can promise that I will help you to the best of my abilities. I will give everything that I have to show you, my students, the spark that we all have inside.

I began teaching in 2008 and spent 12 years in classrooms across high schools, colleges, and technology centers. In 2020, I transitioned to full-time tutoring to focus more deeply on individual student needs—offering targeted support for everything from foundational concepts to advanced exam preparation.

My specialties include:
✅ Chemistry I & II (high school & college-level)
✅ Honors & AP Chemistry
✅ USNCO / Chemistry Olympiad coaching
✅ ACS Chemistry
✅ Biology & Biomedical Science (PLTW certified)
✅ Summer prep, exam prep, and skill-building for STEM students

I hold certifications to teach Chemistry and Biology in Oklahoma, am AP Chemistry-certified, and have additional training in science communication, storytelling, and educational psychology—which I use to make complex science topics clear, engaging, and memorable.

Whether you’re preparing for an AP test, leveling up for college, or aiming for top performance in national competitions, I create a personalized, strategy-driven path to help you get there. I believe that with the right guidance, any student can not only understand science—but grow to love it.

Let’s unlock your full potential—one concept at a time.

Travis was an incredible AP Chemistry tutor!

Travis was an incredible AP Chemistry tutor! He ensured that I was well-prepared for the AP Chemistry test despite significant challenges in my AP Chemistry class. We essentially covered the last four units on our own! He was tough to make sure I was doing the work, while providing engaging and fun explanations of the content. Thank you for a great year!

Amazingly structured, clear, and postive

Travis is the best tutor. Anyone who is instructed by him gets clarity, patience, and positvity with a drive towards mastering the material. I am very thankful for the energy he puts into his work. You will never be disaapointed by him.

Highly recommend for AP Chemistry

My daughter has had two AP chemistry lessons with Travis. He spent time going over all of her previous tests explaining the concepts behind the questions she missed. She has her exam this week and feels much more prepared than she was. We will continue using Travis to fill in her knowledge gaps!

AP Chem

We hired Travis for AP Chem for my son in preparation for the AP Chem exam in May but also for him to have sessions every two weeks to keep him on track. Travis sent a follow up email of what material they went over and answered any questions my son had. He really enjoyed working with Travis and found he was very clear and the slides he provided helped immensely. We look forward to working with Travis throughout my son’s 11th grade year:

Awesome tutor!

Travis tutored my son for a test for chemistry and was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to teach effectively and patiently. My son was able to grasp the material much better! We will definitely use Travis again.

Ethel, 2 lessons with Travis

AP Chem

My daughter enjoyed working with Travis. He provided additional insight into material and did not simply review homework. Thoughtful input into a development program!

Mark, 2 lessons with Travis

Great chemistry tutor

Travis helped my daughter with chemistry homework- specifically understanding "SI units of measurement and associated prefixes, used the technique of dimensional analysis for conversions between different units, interconverted between standard and scientific notation, and rounded for the correct number of signifcant figures after mathematical operations." He was so helpful and very understanding in a scheduling mix-up. We will definitely book him again!

excellent tutor!

Travis was so helpful to my son with high school chemistry and explaining the concepts and problems to him. I really appreciate it.

Knowledgeable Tutor

Travis helped my 11th grade son with Chemistry. My son said he had a better understanding of chemistry and felt he was better prepared for his test. We recommend.
