I have been tutoring Chemistry and Algebra for over 20 years. My favorite part of tutoring is what I call the light bulb moments. These are the moments when a topic makes sense to a student, and if we were in a cartoon, a light bulb would appear over their head. And this is usually the moment when students believe that I don't have more talent in the subject than them: I simply have more practice. This is hands down the most satisfying part of this job.

I have been tutoring Chemistry and Algebra for over 20 years. My favorite part of tutoring is what I call the light bulb moments. These are the moments when a topic makes sense to a student, and if we were in a cartoon, a light bulb would appear over their head. And this is usually the moment when students believe that I don't have more talent in the subject than them: I simply have more practice. This is hands down the most satisfying part of this job.
I graduated with my Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry from Texas Tech University in 2011. I began tutoring as an undergrad, first by helping friends in the classes we were taking, then tutoring other students in classes I had already taken. During grad school, I put myself on the department list of available tutors when requests came in, expanding to undergrads and local high school students. After graduating with my MS, I began working with tutoring companies to find students. In addition to tutoring, I have taught both as a TA and as an adjunct professor, at the University of Washington, Texas Tech, and the University of the Incarnate Word. I have taught chemistry labs (general, analytical, and nursing chemistry), general chemistry I and II, and first semester nursing chemistry. In my free time, I enjoy reading, crafting, and walking.
