Chemistry With Leslie
About
I love teaching students chemistry and seeing the lightbulb clicking as we go through the material. I have a BS in Chemistry and loved every minute of it. Tutoring other students makes it easier to solidify knowledge and I want to share my skills and knowledge with students having trouble with general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or highschool chemistry.
I love working in groups of three of four where every student can bounce ideas around as I lead them in the right direction. This makes it easier for them to figure it out instead of being in another lecture.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I am working with a new student, I usually try and figure out which types of questions they are coming to me with, whether it is different levels of college chemistry or highschool chemistry. I try and understand what level of knowledge the student has before continuing.
Knowing how much the student already knows actually helps with how I plan on explaining concepts and answers to questions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from Binghamton University. I tutored many students who were taking the same courses as I was during my college career. I am currently working as a chemist in an Environmental lab.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I price my lessons at $25/hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I tutored fellow students during my college career and continued to tutor students as I went into my career as a chemist.
What types of students have you worked with?
I mainly worked with highschool and college students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I remember tutoring one student who had a hard time in Inorganic chemistry the first time around receiving a F in that class. She came to me for help in understanding the concepts and as I tutored her, she lessened the number of questions she had to ask and found herself with a B+ in inorganic chemistry. I was very proud of her achievement.
