I am a Professor of Chemistry at the University of South Carolina with a Ph.D. in Chemistry and more than 15 years of experience teaching and mentoring students. Throughout my academic career, I have taught a wide range of chemistry courses, including General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemistry for non-science majors. My teaching experience spans introductory courses through upper-level undergraduate coursework, helping students build a strong foundation in chemistry while developing effective problem-solving skills. I have also mentored undergraduate researchers and have extensive experience helping students succeed in challenging chemistry courses.
My experience includes traditional classroom instruction, online teaching, laboratory instruction, and one-on-one mentoring. I have worked with students from diverse academic backgrounds, including high school students, dual-enrollment students, college students, pre-medical students, nursing students, biology majors, chemistry majors, and adult learners returning to school. In addition to classroom teaching, I regularly provide individualized academic support through office hours, research mentoring, and personalized guidance. My approach focuses on identifying areas of difficulty, breaking complex topics into manageable steps, and helping students gain both understanding and confidence.
I enjoy working with students at all levels, from those taking their first chemistry course to those preparing for advanced coursework, professional school admissions, or standardized examinations. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades and exam performance but also to help them become more independent and successful learners. Whether you need assistance with homework, exam preparation, laboratory concepts, or challenging topics in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, or Biochemistry, I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.
