I am a dedicated and experienced Chemistry and Math tutor who supports the initiative to inspire and sustain the interest of students who pursue science education. I have extensive experience in teaching and tutoring students in general chemistry and math. I have over 10 years of experience teaching general chemistry at Virginia State University (VSU). Additionally, I teach as an adjunct instructor at Brightpoint Community College.

I obtained a Master of Science degree in Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Chemical and Life Science Engineering from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and I am an instructor in the Engineering Department at VSU. I offer students remediation courses in algebra and trigonometry to improve their math skills to the level required for fundamental engineering courses. I am interested in tutoring students in general chemistry, high school chemistry, algebra and trigonometry. I have successfully helped my students to understand challenging chemistry and mathematics concepts by teaching in a practical and straightforward fashion that connects ideas in chemistry and mathematics to things in everyday life. Students tend to grasp concepts better when they can make a connection to real-life experiences.

As your tutor, I will not only impart chemistry knowledge, I will inspire commitment, build competence, and cultivate confidence because these three characteristics are integral to your success. Further, I will help you to improve your study and test-taking skills.

Helps with weaknesses

Ms. Debbie will go over math problems with you and help you find your weaknesses. She is more than willing to go over them with you so that you are comfortable and ready when test-time comes. She will also show you more than on way to work a problem
