About
I have taken and tutored Chemistry 1 and 2 at the high school, and college level, as well as Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 for 3 years. I have a passion for chemistry that shines through my tutoring, and my students have found academic success at their schools and univerisities. I am currently a Senior at the University of Florida, and am planning on continuing to study chemistry after school.
I love every type of chemistry, from the most basic to most complex. For fun I write chemistry problems for my friends and I! I enjoy helping my students learn, and sharing in their success. I will help you learn by explaining concepts and applying them, as well as providing practice problems to cement the knowledge.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will start by talking to them, assessing their skill level and their needs. I will ask questions, listen to their responses, and agree on areas that we should work on. I then create a personalized lesson plan, beginning with background knowledge, the lesson, practice problems, and exam prep.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Senior at the University of Florida in the department of Microbiology and Cell Science. I have taken, and gotten "As" in General Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, and Biochemistry. Starting in General Chemsitry 1, I began tutoring my peers and high school students, leading to their success in these classes. I am also an undergraduate teaching assistant at the University of Florida in the Microbiology Department.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
12-15$ an hour, depending on need.
How did you get started teaching?
I started after falling in love with Chemistry in my Freshman year of college, and have not stopped since!
What types of students have you worked with?
Junior and Senior high school students, as well as Freshman-Senior college students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Holding a online research symposium for the students I TA for. The students and faculty all seemed to have a good time discussing their research!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would look for a teacher that knows the material inside and out, and a teacher who cares about your success in the subject.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The student should think of two or more ways of asking the same question to help the teacher find the best way to help the student.
