I was a professional tutor at Houston Community College for 4+ years and have been a Chemistry instructor for 8+ years. Currently I am teaching General Chemistry I and General Chemistry 2 at San Jacinto College. I have taught 38 chemistry lecture and lab courses and tutored 800+ sessions on chemistry.

I received PhD, MS, and BS degrees all in chemistry. I have 3 patents issued in USA and Europe and authored 13 papers on prestigious journals. The results of my 14+ years of research at Argonne National Lab and University of Houston have been cited by scientists worldwide 2000+ times. Chemistry is crystal clear to me. And I can make it crystal clear to you too! Whether you need help in solving problems in lab assignments and homework, or want a preview, review, in-depth understanding or insights on topics, I can help!

I have tutored students from Grade 8 to sophomores in college on chemistry, math and physics. In my sessions, I purposeful ask short questions to identify weak areas and stimulate critical thinking. I often use life experiences to make abstract concepts relatable. My tutees described my tutoring as fun, concise, to-the-point, and easy to understand, and. I often get comments like these, “wow, now I understand!”, “my score increased, and I believe it was because of the session I had with you.”, “You have a way of explaining things.”. Even when I substituted for other professors, students asked me whether I tutor because they wanted my help.

I believe that confidence brings out students’ potentials, and confidence comes from experiencing respect, patience, and encouragement. Many of my students gained confidence and raised their grades in just a few or even one session!

Life Saver!

When I first started getting lessons from Dr. Susan, I knew next to nothing about organic chemistry, but after a week and a half of lessons, I scored an 80 on my first exam! Incredibly professional and proficient, she is a joy to learn from and a pleasure to see!

Shes very understanding!

Ms.Susan is very knowledgeable about everything from gen chem 1-2 and o chem as she’s able to visualize what the questions are asking for. By drawing pictures and going through step by step, she really clears up any confusion.

Kind and Patient Tutor

She was very helpful whenever I had a session with her for Organic Chemistry Two mechanisms! I highly recommend her because I feel more confident with mechanisms now :)

Great teacher!

I thought Susan was a great tutor because she was able to explain topics and give examples that were easy to understand. My honors chemistry teacher at school does not take enough time to explain the reasoning behind things, and Susan is able to fill that gap.

Ms. Susan is very patient and is a good fit for me as we’re both visual learners so her drawing out organic molecules is very useful.

Your drawings while explaining the problem has helped my quiz grades go up! I will definitely be asking for more tutorials sessions this week. Thank you!

Very knowledgeable tutor

Susan was very helpful and showed plenty of experience in helping me understand various concepts in physical chemistry. In being tutored by her, I was able to gain a whole new insight into physical chemistry and gas laws.
