Jigsaw Tutoring

I like to meet up with students for a short session for free to see if we work well together. If the student feels comfortable with me and believes I can help, we set up a formal tutoring session. Otherwise, no harm done. 

I graduated as the valedictorian from Kean University in 2020 and I am currently working toward a PhD in chemistry at Rutgers in New Brunswick. I've done very well in all of my chemistry related classes and tutored chemistry at Kean for 2 years. I have successfully tutored high school chemistry, general chemistry and organic chemistry as well. I currently work as the graduate student tutor for a Rutgers University program, tutoring around 15 hours per week. Before returning to school I worked as a paramedic for 12 years, as well as a CPR instructor for 5. 

I charge $100/hour after the first 30 minute trial session. If multiple hours are needed at one time (i.e. exam prep), I charge less per hour. Online tutoring is available as well.

I began teaching CPR about 8 years ago. When I returned to school, I found that I was very good at helping my fellow students understand whatever material we were learning. I was asked to become a campus tutor, specifically for chemistry, where many students struggled. My sessions were always fully booked, and my students saw significant improvement in their grades.

I have tutored both high school and college level chemistry students. I work with students from all backgrounds, and am a tutor for a program specifically meant to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds succeed.
