Hi everyone! I’m Amy and I recently earned my MS in Chemistry from Georgetown University (August 2025). Before that, I graduated from Stony Brook University in 2022 with a Chemistry major 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!

Career Development

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 earned my Master’s in Chemistry from Georgetown University in August 2025, where I 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.

Extremely friendly and helpful

I am currently in organic chemistry II and we are learning so many reaction mechanisms. Amy helped walk me through a number of different ways to help understand forward vs reverse reactions, and helped me develop an intuition for reactions. She gave so many fun analogies and made chemistry so enjoyable. She also drew out notes during our session and sent them to me at the end, so I could focus during our lesson. I would highly recommend Amy for organic chemistry!

Great step by step practice problems

Amy is incredibly helpful in both gen chem and orgo. We run through lots of practice problems and topics that align with my course syllabus to ensure I’m up to speed and ahead of the curve. This helped me immensely in between the summer and fall semesters where we actually covered all orgo 1 topics up through the first exam so the lectures with the professor were just sort of a review. Highly recommend Amy!

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!
