I am a PhD-trained biochemist with over 20 years of experience in scientific research and science education. My background includes extensive work in chemistry and biology, particularly at the foundational and introductory college level, along with mentoring students as they develop a stronger understanding of core scientific concepts.
My approach to tutoring is focused on clarity and step-by-step understanding. In my experience, many students struggle in chemistry not because the material is beyond their ability, but because key foundational ideas were not fully solidified early on. I work with students to identify exactly where confusion begins and then rebuild those concepts in a structured and logical way so they can confidently apply them in problem solving.
I primarily support students in general chemistry, introductory college chemistry, AP chemistry, and biology or biochemistry courses. My focus is on helping students strengthen their understanding of core topics, prepare for exams, and improve their problem-solving skills in foundational chemistry and biology coursework.
In each session, my goal is to help students become more confident and independent learners by understanding the reasoning behind each step, rather than relying on memorization or shortcuts. I aim to make challenging material more accessible by connecting concepts in a clear and practical way.
