About
I love students, and I remember being a student. Sometimes it was difficult to connect concepts because the teacher had to move at a certain speed or I just needed more help. I understand the challenges students face, and help provide the support, education, lightheartedness, care, and patience to help a student feel and be successful.
I have a BS in Chemistry with a math minor, an MS in Biocjemistry, and ten years’ experience teaching and tutoring all ages and levels.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I first get to know them a little bit and let them get to know me. Then I ask questions to see what is really needed during the session. Sometimes it is clarification. Sometimes shifting an entire paradigm is needed to understand a concept. Sometimes repetition. Sometimes just breathing or knowing how to use resources.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BS Chemistry
