About Stephanie


Bio

I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry and have been tutoring/teaching chemistry for over 15 years. I was an instructor of general chemistry at Penn State University for several years before moving to Philadelphia. Since then, I have worked with students at UPenn, Temple, Drexel and Jefferson Universities in addition to students at local high schools. I have also used the online Wyzant whiteboard platform to work with students across the U.S. from universities such as Vanderbilt, Georgetown,...

I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry and have been tutoring/teaching chemistry for over 15 years. I was an instructor of general chemistry at Penn State University for several years before moving to Philadelphia. Since then, I have worked with students at UPenn, Temple, Drexel and Jefferson Universities in addition to students at local high schools. I have also used the online Wyzant whiteboard platform to work with students across the U.S. from universities such as Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Cal Poly, Cornell, and Northwestern. I have also worked with high school students taking regular, honors, and AP chemistry. Over the years, I have garnered most general chemistry textbooks, as well as many exam questions and homework problems.

I love helping students learn and really understand the material. I make analogies and relate concepts to everyday life whenever possible. I have a sense of humor and always try to make learning fun. I love working one-on-one with students because I can see what concepts/topics are not understood and help build a strong foundation before moving on to harder topics.

Contact me if you're ready to learn and have fun at the same time!

Knowledgable and Caring Tutor

I worked with Stephanie throughout the summer while taking Gen Chem I and II as part of a postbac program to complete medical school pre-requisites. Both courses were intense--each taking place over just four weeks. I met with Stephanie regularly and she was able to break down challenging concepts and help me think through how to tackle different types of problems. We also met in the lead-up to exams and this was especially helpful. In addition to talking through the sample problem, she discussed different ways the problems could be asked. I can say with confidence that I went from a struggling chemistry student at the start of the summer to a competent and much more confident student by the end!

Great Chemistry Tutor

She was very helpful to my daughter in a very quick notice. She is knowledgeable and professional and understanding. Furthermore, my daughter enjoyed the session. We will continue with her on her AP chemistry journey.

Tuana, 5 lessons with Stephanie

My chemistry super hero

My only regret is that I didn’t start working with her day 1 of my class. If you are looking for a tutor that knows how and why, look no further. I would recommend Stephanie to any student without reservation.

Responsive professional; knowledgeable and explains so student can understand

Stephanie is a true professional. Before the lesson, she is very responsive with correspondence. And she offers to accept relevant course material to prepare for the lesson. During the lesson, she is accommodating with the instruction style that the student is comfortable with. Her explanations are easy to understand verbally and visually (used on the screen white board). She is empathetic and encouraging. I highly recommend her and hope to have future lessons with her. Many thanks Stephanie!

Excellent teacher!

We asked Stephanie to basically reteach my son the first half of the AP Chem curriculum. She was able to determine what he needed and effortlessly went through all the topics - providing him an understanding his teacher wasn’t able to, while simultaneously instilling confidence that he could conquer this class. She seems to know not only the material, but the curriculum, inside and out. Plus, her teaching style worked very well for my son. Afterward, she provided an extremely detailed summary of the lesson. Excellent teacher!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor!

My daughter found her session very helpful and is looking forward to more with Stephanie. She is about to start AP chem and is very nervous, but feels better having Stephanie to support her.
