About Adam

Bio

I love teaching and tutoring others! I have been formally tutoring others in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and French since 2008. My biggest goal as a tutor is to help my students get to the point where they don't need me anymore. I want you to be successful in your education and understand how to solve problems and think critically and not just "get the right answer." I seek to help students understand how subjects tie together and often provide examples...

I love teaching and tutoring others! I have been formally tutoring others in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and French since 2008. My biggest goal as a tutor is to help my students get to the point where they don't need me anymore. I want you to be successful in your education and understand how to solve problems and think critically and not just "get the right answer." I seek to help students understand how subjects tie together and often provide examples or scenarios that are multidisciplinary to help them grasp concepts.

In addition to my experience tutoring I a hold an active teaching license through the State of Pennsylvania and am a lecturer of chemistry and lab director at Penn State University. I am also a Level II Tutor as certified by the College Reading and Learning Association. I have taught in elementary, middle, high schools, and at Penn State University. I have enjoyed teaching in all scenarios where the students desired to learn and were willing to stretch their abilities. Currently a chemistry lecturer at a large, public research university with over seven years experience teaching college-level chemistry.

I realize that everyone is different and needs to be taught at their own pace. I have mentored students who needed remediation as well as those who were just looking to extend their knowledge in a subject. Whatever your goal, I will be there to help you achieve it. I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Approved Subjects

ACT Science

ACT Science

In collaboration with another teacher I wrote the curriculum for the Science portion of an ACT preparation course. This course has been used in schools throughout Utah for after school programs. The programs have been very successful. For more information, see teens-act.org.
Bible Studies

Bible Studies

I have been studying Scripture on my own since I was a young boy. I have attended Sunday School, where we studied the Bible and Book of Mormon, since I was young as well. In high school, I attended an early morning seminary class for all four years where I studied the Old and New Testaments, as well as other Scripture. After I graduated from high school, I was a volunteer Sunday School teacher for about two years. I also taught the Scriptures for two years full-time in France.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I’ve been tutoring in chemistry since my high school days. I’m now a chemistry professor at a large public institution, but I always prefer one-on-one lessons with students. I have a valid teaching license, a degree in chemistry teaching, and another in higher education. Chemistry is my passion and my goal in teaching others about it is to help them love it as well and appreciate the world around them through chemistry.
General Computer

General Computer

I use computers daily for my work, research, and fun. I am proficient in a variety of programs including the Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams), ChemDraw, Adobe, and online web browsers. I would love to see how I can help you improve your skills in using a computer.
Praxis

Praxis

I have taken the Praxis II three times including Chemistry Content Knowledge, General Science, and French. I received a Recognition of Excellence for my performance in Chemistry (and would have in French if the Recognition existed for that subject). In addition to taking the tests myself I have helped others study and prepare for their respective tests.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I am full-time teaching faculty in chemistry, but also specialize in teaching courses on how to learn and how to teach. My bachelor's and master's degrees are both in education. I train approximately 50 graduate and undergraduate students each year how to be effective teachers.

Great tutor

Really helping my 10th grader, who has adhd, with chemistry. Adam is very patient and explains the subject matter well. He is also very accommodating. I would definitely recommend him as a chemistry tutor.

Daniel, 15 lessons with Adam

Helpful and informative

Adam is a fantastic tutor. He is very helpful and works to ensure that my daughter understands each concept/ lesson before moving to the next. He is able to quickly distill key concepts. We are thrilled we found him.

Heather, 61 lessons with Adam

College Gen Chem - fabulous

Most helpful general chemistry tutor my daughter has found that goes to Vanderbilt university. He knows absolutely everything they have gone over in class and finds him more helpful in explaining the material than the actual professor. She has had numerous tutors this year that she said were a “waste of time” but she absolutely loves Adam and will continue to use him!!

Theresa, 11 lessons with Adam

Was very clear and helpful.

Adam helped me explain various mathematical problems relating to measurements and chemisty. His explanation of why significant figures were the way they were and his explanation of dimensional analysis allowed me to finally understand what those things were. I very much appreciate his help!

Thea, 15 lessons with Adam

Great Chemistry Tutor!

Adam helped me to be successful in my college chemistry class. He was very patient and would make sure I understood the concept before moving on to something new. He helped me work through practice problems and gave me good study tips and ways to remember information. I would definitely recommend him for chemistry tutoring!

Sariah, 14 lessons with Adam

Reliable and very good tutor

I have been working with Adam H for a few weeks now doing weekly sessions for chemistry. He is always willing to explain things out more for me and very patient. He is able to work with me on scheduling/ availability, and has good communication with any unseen events. He is able to thoroughly explain concepts, give good examples, and follow up on previous things discussed in past sessions. I enjoy working with Adam and recommend him to anyone in need of a tutor.

Luke, 21 lessons with Adam

Very patient and knowledgeable !

Adam gave my 6-grade boys a lesson on IFCSE chemistry. He was prepared and knowledgeable. Most of all, he made the learning of chemistry interesting. My boys told me immediately after the first class that they would love to continue to learn with Adam. A good teacher!

May, 10 lessons with Adam

Patient and Knowledgeable

Adam is a very helpful and caring tutor. He helped my daughter have a better understanding of her College Chemistry equations. He was available right awayti tutor. He also followed up with her to see if she needed any more help. I would definitely recommend him for a tutor.

Allison, 3 lessons with Adam

Awesome tutor, helped a lot!

Adam was super patient and helpful. I feel much more prepared for my exam tomorrow. We reviewed stoichiometry and significant figures.

Grace, 2 lessons with Adam

Great!

Adam helped me with biochemistry and was extremely helpful. He explained each topic in a way that made the material actually make sense.
