I am a certified SPED and high school science teacher with over six years of classroom experience and more than two years of private tutoring in math and chemistry. My background includes teaching high school Chemistry, Biology, and Pre-AP Chemistry, as well as supporting students in Algebra and Geometry. Before moving into education, I also worked as a medical laboratory scientist, which gives me a strong real-world foundation to connect scientific concepts to practical applications.

When I tutor, I focus on building clarity, confidence, and problem-solving skills. I break down complex ideas into step-by-step explanations and use plenty of examples to ensure students understand before moving on. I encourage students to explain their thinking out loud, because teaching back is one of the best ways to deepen learning. My approach combines patience, high expectations, and engaging explanations that meet students where they are, whether they are struggling to catch up or aiming to excel.

I work with students of all backgrounds and ability levels, from those needing support in mastering foundational math skills to advanced high school students preparing for college-level science. I take pride in helping students not only improve their grades but also develop lasting confidence in their own abilities. My goal is always to make learning both rigorous and enjoyable so that students feel prepared for their next academic step.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have tutored Algebra 1 for a full year in a one-on-one setting and continue to support Algebra concepts through my work as a high school chemistry teacher. In addition to my classroom teaching, I regularly provided after-school tutoring that involved reviewing the algebra skills necessary to successfully approach chemistry problems. This experience has given me a strong background in guiding students through equations, functions, inequalities, and problem-solving strategies that connect directly to real science applications. I focus on clarity, step-by-step reasoning, and building student confidence in both math and science contexts.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I hold a degree in Biochemistry from Virginia Tech and am currently completing a Master’s in Chemistry Education. I have 6 years of experience teaching high school chemistry, including Pre-AP and Honors levels, and I’ve tutored students in both high school and college General Chemistry. In addition to teaching, I worked 3 years in a clinical chemistry and toxicology laboratory, which gave me hands-on experience with chemical analysis and problem-solving in a professional setting. My teaching approach emphasizes clarity, repetition, and real-world examples to help students master concepts such as atomic structure, bonding, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, solutions, acids and bases, and gas laws. My goal is always to build both confidence and understanding so students can perform strongly on exams and carry their knowledge forward into higher-level science courses.
