About

I offer chemistry tutoring as an actual chemist with over 30 years of academic, industrial and government experience. I was even featured in our local newspaper recently and awarded Best of Tutors.com for 2022 and 2023! As an actual chemist, I have the unique advantage of hands-on experience to best explain chemistry. My approach is very interactive and goes beyond typical tutoring to include goal setting, coaching and developing critical thinking skills important for any science subject.

I was originally inspired to go into chemistry by my own high school chemistry teacher - Mr. Dale Nelson. Now, after over 30 years in academic, industrial and government settings, I enjoy educating our rising generation just like my chemistry teacher did for me!

    I absolutely loved how patient he would work with me. If I didn’t understand something he would work through it a million times to make sure I would get it correct. I really struggled in chem 1st semester with a low C and started turoring with him and my grade by the end of second semester was a 89.7- he made chemistry fun! He helped me understand and apply the topics I was learning in class to real world situations. It was always a joy to meet with him, he always helped me, with anything, even if he has a busy schedule he always has time to sit all his students in! He also made sure to go over all the topics before a test or a quiz to make sure I’m on top of it! This is the first class I have pretty much understood and found joy in it because I was actually understanding it! He also gives out cool pencils, pens, highlighters and all sorts of goodies(i’m pretty sure they have good luck attached to them lol)! Lately, I needed some help in algebra 2, he was willing to help me with a subject he doesn’t normally help students with; but he also helped me grade go up a crazy amount and helped me understand it better! I would definitely recommend him if your looking for a chem tutor who will be patient, go at your own pace, and help you find joy in the subject!

    Joel is an amazing Chemistry tutor! He helped and motivated my daughter immensely throughout the semester! He is great at explaining things, I would hear a lot of “ah-ha’s” during their online sessions. Joel was more than a tutor, he truly cared and took personally the progress that my daughter made. He always went above and beyond, being flexible with scheduling and was excellent at communicating. I never write reviews, but I had to for Joel - I would highly recommend him!!

    Joel was incredible at explaining information and breaking things down for my daughter in a way that she could better understand. He is very patient and encouraging to his students. It’s easy to see his love of chemistry and how he wants to help students understand and love chemistry too!

    Joel is able to break down the concepts in chemistry in a way that you can understand. He asks the student questions to make sure they understand and he provides homework help outside of tutoring hours which is great. Joel is a great tutor and I would recommend him to anyone who is struggling in chemistry.

    Frequently asked questions

    I always offer a complimentary meet and greet with prospective students and their parents.  This is beneficial for both of us to learn about each other.  I want to know both where you struggle and where you excel to determine how I can start to customize a tutoring plan for you.  From my end I want to tell you about my unique two way approach to tutoring and goal setting.

    B.S. in Honors Chemistry; Graduation with Great Distinction

    Ph.D. Analytical Chemistry

    Over 30 years experience in academics, industry and government settings.

    Rates depend on various factors that can be discussed during our complimentary meet and greet.
    After almost 30 years in academics, industry and government positions, I have found my passion as an educator of chemistry offering full-service tutoring showing students chemistry doesn't necessarily have to be hard and frustrating, but can actually be fun, relevant and even valuable since it teaches critical thinking skills.
    I have worked with a full range of chemistry students including those taking regular, Honors, College Preparatory (CP) , Advanced Placement (AP), and college chemistry.
    At an Eagle Scout Court of Honor, I was presented with a Boy Scouts of America Mentor Pin by one of my students for my role in this particular scout's journey.
    Look for an established tutor that specializes in your subject with good reviews and an established website where you can read more about their approach and education philosophy. Tutors with advanced degrees will have more experience not only in the subject matter, but also be able to make it more relevant and even interesting by drawing on real-world examples.
    Ask if a tutor's service is just limited to paid sessions, or includes complimentary service between sessions - known as "full-service tutoring". Full-service tutoring has distinct advantages including providing an action plan after each session, additional resources such as customized worksheets, and even text and email support to answer questions.
