Bio

Let's face it, College Gen chem and Organic are not easy classes. As a former college instructor and full-time private tutor for over 8 years, I know the demands and expectations of professors. Let me help you break down the concepts so that you can understand them and succeed in your class.

I've taught General and Organic college courses. My favorite subject to teach is Organic, which is not as bad as you think if you know how to look at the material. I taught over 700 hours in 2021...

I've taught General and Organic college courses. My favorite subject to teach is Organic, which is not as bad as you think if you know how to look at the material. I taught over 700 hours in 2021 including High school chemistry/honors/AP Chemistry, College level General Chemistry 1 and 2, and Organic Chemistry 1 and 2. I have worked with student from Ivy league to community college.

I have a Masters in Chemistry from University of Houston with a focus on Organic Chemistry and education. As well as a Bachelors in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. I have taught at several Houston area colleges.

Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry is my favorite topic. I love showing students how the "puzzle pieces" of each reaction come together. Organic did not come naturally to me, so I relate to my students when they are confused. My focus in graduate school was Organic chemistry. I have taught 1st and 2nd semester organic Laboratory classes and been a TA for organic lecture and labs at 2 top universities and helped create online videos to discuss lab topics.

Provides brilliant explanations and truly cares.

Cotton helped teach me a vast multitude of AP Chemistry topics and is fantastic at breaking down problems and providing clear explanations that can be fully understood. After every single session with her, I felt I fully understood the concept. I highly recommend Cotton for all your chemistry needs.

Knowledgable

So quick and helpful and we got through a lot of material in just one tutoring session. I really thought she did an amazing job and I’m excited to get together and have her tutoring again. Thanks Cotton!

Cotton is the BEST chemistry tutor!

I reached out to Cotton to ask about her same-day availability for a tutoring session before an exam. She was very easy to follow and walked me through the steps in a way that made perfect sense to me. It's hard to find a tutor who can walk you through a problem without skipping steps or overexplaining, but Cotton did just that. Everything was laid out in a way that made perfect sense to me. She also frequently checked in along the way to make sure I understood everything. We worked on a lot more problems than I thought we'd get to in an hour, which was awesome. If I ever need a chemistry tutor again, I'd go back to Cotton for sure!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor! Best Tutor Ever!

Cotton was an amazing tutor. She worked with me on organic Chemistry . She is amazing and such a great tutor. Very knowledgeable and patient. She helped me understand the material so much better.

Jessica, 2 lessons with Cotton

Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Cotton is an amazing tutor! She is very patient and makes difficult topics easier to understand. I went from being completely lost on a topic to fully understanding it in one session. It takes me a while to grasp a concept, and her simple and easy to follow steps/explanations are so helpful. She’s great!!
