About Devin


Bio

Hello, I'm Devin and I would love to help you (or your child) understand, succeed at, and even ENJOY chemistry and other STEM courses! I am highly qualified with a BS in Biomedical Engineering, a concentration in Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering, and a minor in Chemistry from Drexel University. I have 2 years of experience as a PhD student assistant teaching high-level undergraduate math and science classes, and I have been a private math and science tutor for the past decade.

Hello, I'm Devin and I would love to help you (or your child) understand, succeed at, and even ENJOY chemistry and other STEM courses! I am highly qualified with a BS in Biomedical Engineering, a concentration in Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering, and a minor in Chemistry from Drexel University. I have 2 years of experience as a PhD student assistant teaching high-level undergraduate math and science classes, and I have been a private math and science tutor for the past decade.

Everybody learns differently, yet courses tend to present information in a dry and uniform way. I have a passion and a talent for explaining seemingly-complex concepts in a personalized manner that each student can understand. Chemistry and other STEM fields aren't boring, they're just taught in boring ways and I want to change that! My mission is to give everyone the tools they need to utilize fundamental scientific and mathematic applications.

Each session is highly personalized and focused, but they follow a similar methodology. I believe perfect practice makes perfect, so after explaining the concepts thoroughly I like to work through practice problems and discuss the subject matter in the context of each question. In addition to improving your confidence and grasp on chemistry (or other math and science subjects), I'll also help you come up with a game plan for each type of problem on that upcoming quiz, test, or exam.

I ranked fifth in my class and won the All-Around Academic Achievement Award at my high school graduation from my private and competitive college-prep school. Chemistry is my true love, but I still enjoy and excel at teaching biology, geometry, pre-algebra, algebra I & II, precalculus, and calculus. Academic confidence and success is just a message away! I have taken every subject at a high school level and I have taken every science and math class at a college level; I survived and I can help you survive too!

ADHD

ADHD

As a high achieving student whose ADHD went undiagnosed until high school, I developed hundreds of strategies and tricks for understanding subjects in ways that translated to academic success. Anyone whose child has ADHD knows that our brains are different, but also creative, brilliant, unique, and full of passion to learn in ways that are engaging, memorable, and a bit silly. I grew up with a twin who also had undiagnosed ADHD and I tutored him in math and science while he tutored me in history and literature; we are now both educators who can explain concepts in different ways that make sense to everyone, especially those with ADHD. I survived 8 AP classes, a chemistry minor, and a biomedical engineering degree, and I would love to help your child succeed too!

Great tutor

Devin got my son up to speed with Chemistry after he had difficulty through the first half of the year. He’s doing much better now with occasional sessions with Devin. Greatly appreciated!

Knowledgeable and patient

Devin is very patient and knowledgeable. She broke down the lessons where my daughter had been struggling. She is an excellent tutor. My daughter really benefited from the session.

Tammy, 1 lesson with Devin

great tutor!

My daughter enjoys working with Devin and learning from her! She likes the analogies that Devin uses to teach her the chemistry concepts. Devin is always ready to help and patient as well. Look forward to continue working with Devin…

Amazing and patient!

Before I met with Devin, I felt very overwhelmed and uniformed in my pre calculus class. But after meeting with her, I was able to easily grasp the contents of the material & got my highest quiz score yet! I was having trouble in a chemistry chapter this week and scheduled a quick appointment with Devin, she was very understanding & made sure I was able to get help right away. She studied with me for almost 3 hours to ensure that I was confident and fully understood the material which I found so helpful because I study better when I am able to converse with others and ask questions. I feel super confident going into my chapter 8 & 9 chemistry quiz, and it’s all thanks to Devin! She has helped to uncover my potential in math and chemistry & I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are in need of a STEM tour, I would 110% recommended Devin!

excellent job

My daughter said Devin was awesome. Walked her through. Helped her understand, made her feel comfortable. We will be using her again for sure!

Guy, 7 lessons with Devin

Very knowledgeable and gives real world examples

My son loved Devin as she explained things in Chemistry with analogies that he could better understand He looks forward to utilizing her again for help in Chemistry

Devin is a brilliant teacher

She is patient, brilliant and all that you ask for in a tutor. Very good! We would love to have her again. She knows the subject, knows where the student is coming from and adjusts her lessons accordingly.
