Bio

I am currently working as a chemistry professor and science and math tutor and living in Wheeling, WV. I have been teaching Introductory Chemistry and General Chemistry I and II face-to-face and fully online at the college level in the Northwest Houston area for over ten years. I've also taught fully online Introductory Chemistry, General Chemistry I and II classes for West Virginia colleges. All my teaching classes and tutoring will be fully online until further notice due to COVID-19.

I am currently working as a chemistry professor and science and math tutor and living in Wheeling, WV. I have been teaching Introductory Chemistry and General Chemistry I and II face-to-face and fully online at the college level in the Northwest Houston area for over ten years. I've also taught fully online Introductory Chemistry, General Chemistry I and II classes for West Virginia colleges. All my teaching classes and tutoring will be fully online until further notice due to COVID-19.

I have experience teaching or tutoring the following subjects at the high school and college level:

High School: IPC/Physical Science, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry I and II AP, SAT Math prep, ACT Math/Science prep
College: Introductory Chemistry, General Chemistry I and II
1. Note: If you're a student at Lone Star College -- Tomball or West Virginia Northern Community College, I cannot tutor you as this would be a conflict of interests due to my employment there. If the situation changes, I'll post that here.
2. Another note: my knowledge of Organic, Analytical, Physical, and Biological Chemistry is not as recent as my freshman chemistry knowledge, so you would be better served with another tutor with more recent knowledge of those subjects.

If you need help with any of these subjects, or if you are a new science teacher who needs help with course preparation and materials, please contact me. If I don't answer right away, I am teaching, volunteering, or sleeping since I turn off my devices after 10 pm EDT. Please leave a message, and I'll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I've taught and tutored ACT math, and I have a Texas Secondary Education certificate in math. I like to simulate the testing situation as much as possible; then, the student and I will grade and score the practice exam. If the student missed any questions, we will go over the missed questions. We will also refresh subject matter as needed.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I have a bachelor's degree in Chemistry with a minor in Biology, and a master's degree in Chemistry. Additionally, I hold a Texas secondary teaching certificate in Chemistry and Biology, and I have teaching and tutoring experience with high school Chemistry and Biology, and ACT science.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have a Texas teaching certificate in Math, and I've taught and tutored Algebra I and other math classes. My focus is to help students understand the principles behind the problems and apply the principles in other problems. Word problems tend to be a problem area for many students, so I teach students how to read and extract needed information to solve the problem.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a Texas teaching certificate in Math, and I've had college math classes up to Calculus III. Additionally, I've taught and tutored high school math (Algebra I and II, Geometry) and SAT/ACT math.
Biology

Biology

My undergraduate degree is in chemistry with a biology minor, and I hold a Texas teaching certificate in chemistry, biology, and math. Also, I have taught and tutored biology.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have experience teaching or tutoring in Chemistry, Biology, or Math at the high school level, and I have taught Introductory Chemistry and General Chemistry I and II at the college level.
Geometry

Geometry

I have a Texas teaching certificate in Math. I've taught and tutored Geometry, both Level and Pre-AP.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I hold a Texas secondary teaching certificate in Chemistry, and I have teaching and tutoring experience with high school IPC/Physical Science. I also have a bachelor's and master's degree in Chemistry
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have a Texas teaching certificate in Math, and I've tutored SAT math. As much as possible, I try to conduct a practice test in conditions similar to what he/she will experience during the SAT. Then, we will grade the practice test and go over what he/she missed. If we need to refresh algebra, geometry, or statistics, we do it. I also show students how to grade each practice test along with the raw/scaled scores so that they can see their progress. We also discuss testing strategies as well.
Prealgebra
Precalculus

The best Chem Tutor

Mrs. B helped our daughter with her chemistry this past semester. Jasmine was really struggling before we asked Mrs. B for help. She is the best tutor you can ask for. Very patient and always available with flexible schedule. Above all she help Jasmine reach what we had thought to be impossible!! from a certain failing grade to a high B as her final grade. Thank you Mrs. B

Patient and Knowledgeable!

Lisa was patient and took the time to explain the topics that I had difficulty with. Through the tutoring lessons, she constantly checked for understanding. Lisa helped me get 100% on my chemistry test!

I wish she was my daughter's ACTUAL chem teacher

My daughter is having such a rough year in PreAP Chem and Lisa is helping her tremendously! We only wish that my daughter's ACTUAL teacher at school was Lisa. Thanks again Lisa!

Lisa is a great tutor

Our first lesson with Lisa. She is so patient and kind. We are scheduling several more with her for my son's Algebra 1 final. She explains things in such a way that is easy to understand and is very encouraging.

solid tutor

very patient and explains clearly. my son looks forward to algebra lessons. we will continue using Lisa. you need math and he will need help for awhile until he has mastered whatever he is presently taking.

Helped my son from an F to a B

My son, normally an A/B student in advanced HS classes became quite lost in chemistry despite staying after school for help many times a week and spending many hours studying. He was confused and could not get himself sorted this time. We found Miss Lisa the week before a make-up test he was taking which he previously failed Even though it was somewhat last minute, she luckily had some availability and she met with him for 2 sessions (and of course he studied again) before the make up test. I could not believe it but my son received a 90.6 on his make up test (the one he had failed previously). He changed his grade from an F to a B. We will definitely continue to see Miss Lisa throughout the rest of the course. He was lost in a chemistry maze and she gave him the map and tools he needed to learn, understand and find his way out.

Algebra 2 Tutor

Lisa helped my son better understand math concepts and learn skills that helped him maintain his grade in his Algebra 2 class. She is very accommodating with last minute sessions, and according to my son, her explanations are short and to the point.

P, 5 lessons with Lisa

Great tutor.

Lisa worked with my daughter to help her understand her Algebra 2. It was short notice but she took time out of her evening to make it work. My daughter now has a clear understanding of what she did not before.
