...it can be even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect blend of science and math, which is great since I enjoy both! You can learn from the most basic atoms (don't trust them, they make up everything!) to the most complex proteins to applications in the real world. Chemistry is fun to learn, teach, and experience, so I try to make those random concepts as interesting and applicable as...

I have been teaching and tutoring college level chemistry for the past 7 years, the last 2 of college obtaining my bachelors (B.S.) at Sonoma State University in chemistry and 5 years while obtaining my Ph.D. at UC Santa Cruz in chemistry (bioinorganic).

At...

...would love to pass on my tips and tricks for those preparing for the SAT and ACT. Of note, something in particular that attracts me to tutoring is that by working one-on-one with a student, I am able to cater my teaching style towards his or her learning style, ultimately allowing the student to better learn the material.

...for a student in any field and at any level at Yale at the end of my Ph.D.: the only time it was awarded to STEM in 35 years! Now, completely immersed in research in developing best the material for clean energy technology, I really miss the teaching that I immensely enjoyed for last 10 years. My secret: success in tests (and maybe in life, too) comes from not just what we know, but what...

...I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at...
