About Greg

Bio

Hi, I'm Greg. I began teaching chemistry and biology at the secondary school level after graduation from The Citadel in 1974. Over the years I have taught various science courses including general science, physics, and organic chemistry. My students frequently come back after graduation to tell me they're convinced my teaching helped them to do well in these subjects on the college level, when many of their classmates were struggling.

Hi, I'm Greg. I began teaching chemistry and biology at the secondary school level after graduation from The Citadel in 1974. Over the years I have taught various science courses including general science, physics, and organic chemistry. My students frequently come back after graduation to tell me they're convinced my teaching helped them to do well in these subjects on the college level, when many of their classmates were struggling. In 1991, I obtained a Master's in Chemistry from DePaul University in Chicago. I continued teaching high school chemistry for many years and am fully qualified to help students achieve their academic goals in this and many other science subjects.

My approach to tutoring is to engage the student in analytical thinking and assist them in learning to work through problems with confidence. I am willing to spend as much time as necessary to help the student prepare for tests and exams, as well as to be more comfortable with the everyday class experience.

I look forward to working with you or your child. I am dedicated to seeing all of my students accomplish excellent grades in chemistry and science.

So returning to college after seventeen years. I needed a tutor with my Biology class. Greg explain the subject and reviewed afterwards. I am glad for the assistance.

Janet, 1 lesson with Greg

Quickly assessed problems and directed the lesson appropriately

We just started with Greg today. I sat nearby for the first meeting to help my daughter feel more comfortable. He's friendly but also gets right to business. Kept my daughter on task, got her doing drills right away, encouraging and practical. So far very pleased.

Greg helped me understand some basic chemistry concepts with ease. He was good at explaining in a manner that was easy to understand and comprehend.

Whit, 2 lessons with Greg

Very knowledgeable

Greg is a great teacher. He really understands the material and knows how to explain it. Chemistry is not my thing, but I think I might just pass my final with Greg's help.
