Hi everyone! I’m Amy, a graduate student in Chemistry at Georgetown University, set to earn my MS by the end of this year while continuing toward my PhD. I graduated from Stony Brook University in 2022 with a major in Chemistry and minors in Writing and Health & Wellness.

I’m passionate about teaching chemistry at both the high school and college level. I’ve served as a TA for general and organic chemistry, and was honored with Georgetown’s 2022–2023 Teaching Assistant Award. My goal is to make chemistry engaging, clear, and approachable for every student.

Beyond science, I also help students strengthen their writing and communication skills. With a background in Writing & Rhetoric, I’ve guided students through essays, lab reports, resumes, and competitive applications for college and graduate school.

I look forward to supporting you on your academic journey and helping you reach your goals!

During my undergraduate years, I served as President of my university’s Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), where I mentored members in college and career development, providing guidance on interview preparation, cover letter and personal statement writing, and personal branding. Currently, I volunteer with the SASE regional team, advising chapters on leadership development and offering insights on internships and gaining STEM experience. As a PhD student, I continue this mentorship by guiding students pursuing similar paths.

I am a Chemistry PhD student at Georgetown University, where I have taught two semesters of General Chemistry and three semesters of Organic Chemistry lecture and lab, earning the Graduate School Teaching Assistant Award (2022–2023). I received my B.S. in Chemistry from Stony Brook University in 2022 and have extensive experience as a TA and tutor for General Chemistry I & II and Organic Chemistry I & II. I have also earned high scores on the ACS exams in Analytical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry. I’m passionate about making chemistry engaging, clear, and accessible for students at all levels.

I am committed to supporting students at every step of the process, helping them present their authentic strengths and apply with confidence.

Chemistry 2 College level

My daughter was in a six week, summer Chem 2 crash course and it was her first undergrad course! She was struggling and nervous since the final was 25% of her grade. When we found Amy and had the first session, we were relieved! My daughter said they had a great connection. Amy was easy for her to understand, knowledgeable, patient and extremely available! Amy spent a lot of time with my daughter and helped her tremendously. We recommend Amy hands down!

Amy makes the material easier to understand. She is great to work with. I highly recommend working with Amy. I feel better prepared for my final.

my daughter loves Amy!

My daughter came home raving about how great her session was - she’s been struggling all year and said that, in just one hour, Amy taught her more than she had learned all year. I have a teenage, so she’s rarely enthusiastic about anything, but she called me on the car ride home just to talk about how much Amy had helped her with her chemistry comprehension. She said that Amy is a very natural teacher, and explains things in a way that simplifies and clarifies complex topics. For the first time this year, she’s actually looking forward to taking her next AP Chem test because she feels like she really understands the material now!

Amy is a wonderful tutor

My son was struggling with high school chemistry and after his first session with Amy his grades started to improve. According to my son, Amy explains things much better than his teacher does. My son actually understands the content now. Yay! I would gladly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a high school chemistry tutor.

Excellent and Experienced Tutor!

Amy as been really great so far, really explains the concepts simplistically and in a concise manner. Before Amy, my daughter had gotten D's and C's in her AP chemistry class, and now recieves B's and A's with Amy's help. She speaks clearly and patiently, making even the most challenging topics understandable and boosting her confidence. She is highly recommend for anyone looking for extra help in chemistry.
