Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Most of my students have specific questions from hw/past exams and I provide detailed answers for those first. If the student cannot comprehend, then I take a step back and review the coursework before explaining.
In other scenarios--where the student has hired me for the full semester, I try to understand where the student has difficulty and try to address those areas. I can gather a wide variety of problems for student to try before appearing for a test
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 4+ years of teaching sophomore level Org Chem (I & II) lab and lecture. I also taught or tutored Gen Chem(I and II) Lab and Lecture for 2+ years. I tutored my daughter in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and Math till very recently (she is a Biomed Engg major @ UT Austin). I can tutor students in Calculus I & II, Physics I & II, Gen Chem I & II.
