Hi there! I am a former scientist who happens to enjoy English and test preparation in addition to math and science. I have a bachelor's degree in chemistry and biology from Boston University, a PhD in biological chemistry from The Scripps Research Institute, and three years of postdoctoral experience at Harvard University in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. The subjects in which I specialize include Test Preparation; Mathematics; General Chemistry; Organic Chemistry; English Writing, Grammar, and Literature; and Introductory Biology . As a tutor, I am patient and adept at identifying areas in which students may need extra help. My style is informal and approachable, and I relate extremely well to students ranging from elementary-school-age to working adults.
About me: I have worked as a part-time Professor of Chemistry at local colleges and universities; I tutor extensively in subjects ranging from science to English to test preparation; and I worked for many years as a scientist--performing experiments and communicating results through written and oral presentations to specialists and non specialists alike. Through these experiences, I have become expert at relating to students of all ages and educational backgrounds.
I have extensive experience in academia and chemical research in medicinal chemistry and have taught undergraduate pre med students and chemistry majors both for lab and course work and also private tutoring for many years. In addition i have published 24 articles in international journals in synthtetic and med chemistry. I have 16 US and international patients. In 2010 i received the green chemistry award from innocentive llc. I worked at mallinckrodt medicinal narcotics, st louis as senior scientist for 12 years and clariant life sciences as senior research scientist for 5 years. In addition i worked as principal chemist specialising in new alzheimer drugs at targacept, llc winston salem for 5 years.
I worked as a Supplemental Instructor and Peer Tutor at Loyola University Chicago. I would reinforce class material and help develop long-lasting study skills. I also work at J at Chicago and help with after school care. I know what it is like to be a student struggling with a class or having to study for a class they hate. I hope to help teach tricks and correlate to real-life make studying more interactive and fun.
I have been studying, teaching and researching in the field of chemistry for over 15 years. I have mentored and conducted multiple review sessions for students. Because of my extensive laboratory experience, I allow the student the visualize a given problem, thus making them much more enjoyable and easier to solve.
I am happy to teach you the fundamentals of chemistry in a way that will be very enjoyable for you and you are not counting the minutes to stop studying. Chemistry takes time to learn, I will make sure you push through the barrier that makes chemistry a difficult subject, and reach a level where you are very comfortable with solving any problem that is presented to you. I am available to help anytime and will respond to your need promptly.
Skilled and experienced tutor with professional experience in the field of Chemistry in roles ranging from laboratory technician to conducting and presenting on original research as a lead author. I have extensive experience working in direct tutoring roles, both as a volunteer for various outreach programs and in the capacity of self-employment. I endeavor to fully invest myself in the success of every student I work with, and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and see how I can best assist in achieving your educational goals. I look forward to hearing from you.
My face lit up with pure joy and I could not stop smiling. I just witnessed one of my students screech with satisfaction as she solved a laborious organic chemistry problem. She says, “I guess organic chemistry isn’t too bad after all."
I love to teach, so I can help students realize their capabilities just as this student and experience more of these heartening moments. In this moment, I knew I had a joy and passion for teaching. I long to see students excel, to exceed expectations of others and of themselves. I desire to help students reach their potential. I share a love for education, and I share a love for knowledge. I believe all students have an aptitude greater than what any one person labels them, because a student may not know their full potential until they believe in themselves, in their abilities. I would love to help students to embody the notion that their hard work defines them, an individual, not a presumption.
