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!

Wonderful Chemistry Tutor!

We booked a few sessions with Travis to help our daughter prepare for the AP Chemistry Exam. She really enjoyed working with Travis. He has been very helpful in making sure our daughter understood the concepts she was struggling with, and did it in a very productive, respectful and supportive way. He is very organized and makes his students feel engaged and heard. We definitely recommend using Travis for any Chemistry tutoring!

Excellent tutor

Travis helped my son prepare for a Chemistry Honors quiz. Travis was patient and explained topics in a way for my son to understand. My son did very well on the quiz. We will work with Travis again.

Colleen, 2 lessons with Travis

Excellent tutor, highly recommend!

Travis is a great support for my teen. Explaining complex topics in a way that feels fun and engaging. My son was visibly more relaxed and confident after his lesson, and maybe even ... excited about learning physics? His grade boosted 30% after just one lesson! We look forward to working with him again.
