About Nate


Bio

I have my undergraduate degree in chemistry from Texas Christian University (TCU). I am currently a 4th year PhD organic chemistry student at UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW). My experience in chemistry extends beyond the classroom – I was an organic chemistry teaching assistant (TA) while at TCU, and have 6+ years of total research experience with a published paper and have attended chemistry conferences around the country.

I have my undergraduate degree in chemistry from Texas Christian University (TCU). I am currently a 4th year PhD organic chemistry student at UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW). My experience in chemistry extends beyond the classroom – I was an organic chemistry teaching assistant (TA) while at TCU, and have 6+ years of total research experience with a published paper and have attended chemistry conferences around the country. I absolutely love talking about and thinking about chemistry, because at the end of the day chemistry is just a big puzzle. The best way to exceed in chemistry is not by memorizing a million concepts, but by knowing a small set of foundational rules and applying them to problems we come across.

While at TCU I tutored for general chemistry 1 and 2 and organic chemistry 1 and 2, as well as for high school geometry and algebra. I specialize mainly on tutoring general chemistry and organic chemistry, for both undergraduate students and graduate students. I find teaching to be an extremely rewarding experience and no matter what level the student is at, it's amazing to see them apply themselves and grow into whatever subject they are trying to get better at.

As far as the tutoring space goes, I'll hold sessions in public libraries or any other better place you know including your home and online. I don't mind traveling to a place where you feel comfortable.

Extremely kind. Effortlessly patient. Powerfully intelligent.

Nate and I met for the first time and instantly I could see that he understood the depth that true learning requires. He is not just trying to explain information for the time being, but build a solid foundation of the subject matter in your mind. He worked with me on my practice exams, going through each question and building 3D models to demonstrate things with the right perspective. Along with writing on a white board and talking through every single step he was making. His thinking process. How he got from here to there. I promise you, when he's doing that, questions come up in your mind. Please do make sure you ask him those questions, especially when they're tiny detail-oriented questions, because not only does he enjoy to see the gears churning in your mind, but for this material the details make everything. Truly. It was liberating to have a tutor so passionate about learning. I now find organic chemistry extremely enjoyable. I'm not even kidding... Please message him and give it a shot. Believe in your abilities because that belief is what builds you up. That's how he built my confidence up in just one of our meetings. Such a kind man. Thank you Nate.

Nate the Great

The tutor session was fantastic. Nate is an amazing tutor for organic chemistry. He breaks super complex problems and concepts down to where I finally get what I’m doing in class. I feel like I am starting to catch up in my class with his help. I also like that he’s willing to meet me wherever I feel most comfortable because it was hard to find a tutor who would meet in person before finding Nate. I’m looking forward to more sessions and hopefully a great grade in my class with Nate’s help.

You won’t regret choosing Nate as your tutor !

Nate is not only very knowledgeable about all things Chemistry, but he’s also a kind person and an excellent teacher! He is great with math problems, as well as explaining the concepts of various topics! He is thorough in his teaching and makes sure you have grasped the material before moving on. He also is very quick to respond on the message app. HIGHLY recommend!
