PhD Chemistry Tutoring
About
I am currently a PhD candidate specialized in physical inorganic chemistry at the University of Rochester. Chemistry is my life's passion, and I strive to share my love for science with my students.
I obtained my BA in chemistry from Vassar College, where I taught general chemsitry labs for a year, and my MS in chemistry from Cornell University, where I taught general chemistry for two years. I have taught over 300 students, many of whom decided to major in a chemistry-related field.
