Hello Students!!
I have taught and tutored over 200 students in organic chemistry. I have helped students in the depths of despair go from failing to passing. I have helped students go from a B to an A. Whatever your knowledge level is, I have methods to help you get to your goals if you are willing to put in the practice!

Hello Students!!
I have taught and tutored over 200 students in organic chemistry. I have helped students in the depths of despair go from failing to passing. I have helped students go from a B to an A. Whatever your knowledge level is, I have methods to help you get to your goals if you are willing to put in the practice!
My philosophy about studying chemistry:
- Chemistry is different from other sciences, it is important to learn how to learn chemistry (a valuable skill!)
- Organic Chemistry is a language - you need to learn the vocabulary to become fluent
- Understanding mechanisms is more important than memorization (I have a set list of things you must memorize to be successful)
- Practice, practice, practice but do the right kind of practice
My Professional Background:
I graduated from the US Air Force Academy and worked as a Space Launch Operator launching rockets and missiles in California for 5 years. In the military, I taught many skills, courses, and certifications in addition to chemistry. Missing chemistry, I left the military, became a synthetic polymer chemist and started my PhD in Chemistry.
Education is a journey! Let me be your guide.
