I am a Texas certified special education and secondary science teacher with a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Virginia Tech. I am also pursuing a master’s degree in chemistry education. I have more than six years of classroom experience and over two years of private tutoring experience in math and chemistry. I have taught Chemistry, Biology, and Pre AP Chemistry and supported students in Algebra and Geometry. Before entering education, I worked as a medical laboratory scientist, giving me practical experience that helps me connect scientific concepts to real world applications.

My tutoring focuses on building clarity, confidence, and problem solving skills. I break complex ideas into manageable steps and use examples to confirm understanding before moving forward. I also encourage students to explain their reasoning aloud because teaching a concept back is an excellent way to strengthen learning. My approach combines patience, high expectations, and engaging explanations tailored to each student.

I support learners at many ability levels, from students strengthening foundational skills to advanced students preparing for college science. My goal is to help students improve academically while developing lasting confidence and greater independence as learners.

Approved Subjects

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.
