SimpleChem Tutoring

I love chemistry. I believe that it is an amazing and fundamental science that, when used correctly, has the power to change the world. I know everyone doesn't love chemistry though, quite the opposite actually. Many a time have I heard anxious students discussing their fears of lewis structures, stoichiometry, and balancing redox reactions. Although it is true that there are many mathematically and conceptually challenging aspects of chemistry, I believe that with a stronger understanding of the fundamental processes and properties that govern chemistry, any student can learn to love chemistry and excel in their studies. Through tutoring, I hope to instill the same passion and respect I have for the subject in my students, as many of my greatest teachers have done for me. I am here to help students digest the myriad of facts and information presented to them daily in the form that best suits them, and I believe I am the best fit for this job because I am a student too. I know exactly what current high school students are being taught because I was taught the same things just a few years ago. At my high school, I am an active peer tutor, a member of the national and math honors societies, and a straight-A student. I finished honors chemistry with an A+ freshman year and am currently a senior taking a college-level chemistry course with an A average. Outside of school, I have experience as a private tutor in physics, algebra I, and grammar. All in all, I want to try to alleviate some of the stresses that learning chemistry can cause, so students can focus not only on earning impressive grades, but forming a meaningful scientific understanding of chemistry.
