I am Ken D. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry in 1985, then earned my high school teaching credential a year later.

Excellent Chemistry Tutor
My high school sophomore needed help studying for a re-take exam and Ken did a great job clarifying the concept of Moles in Chemistry. He was very good at explaining things in a way that my daughter could easily grasp and understand. She came out of the session more confident and ready to re-take her exam.

Great and patient teacher
My daughter really like Ken’s style of teaching. She has been struggling in class however now the concepts have become clearer to her and my daughter asked for more classes. I’ll see how’ll this reflect on her midterm exams in few weeks. Also I had difficulty connecting the link first time and second time some time confusion. Ken has been very patient and polite both times. I really appreciated that added quality.

Extraordinary experience
Ken was incredibly supportive of our son while he prepared for an extremely challenging chemistry honors final exam. After the first session, our son asked for my time with Ken. Ken patiently went through all of the materials with J over several days. We feel so lucky to have found him.

The best
Our son was able to improve his knowledge of chemistry and pass his final exam. Don’t think it would’ve been possible without Ken. A great simplifier of complexity aka teacher.

Knowledge of chemistry and high school students.
My daughter was feeling insecure right before her honors chem final. We got a last minute session with Ken and my daughter was beaming after she finished the session. She said Ken was able to explain things in a way the connected all the pieces together for her. As a bonus, he had all sorts of helpful tricks. She just walked out of her final feeling amazing. Can’t imagine a better outcome for a single lesson. I would recommend him to anyone who needs chemistry help.
