Professional PhD Tutor with 600+ hours sessions

Susan W.

I am a professional tutor at Houston Community College and a chemistry instructor at San Jacinto College. I have taught 37 chemistry lecture and lab courses and tutored 600+ sessions on chemistry.

I received PhD, MS, and BS degrees all in chemistry. In the field of 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 have been cited by scientists worldwide 1800+ 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 or homework assignments, or want a preview, review, in-depth understanding on topics, I can help!

I have tutored students from Grade 4 to sophomores in college. 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, easy to understand, and to-the-point. 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!
