College Chemistry courses move quickly, and most students find that they don’t fully understand a topic before the professor moves on. This can lead to students memorizing how to do problems without fully understanding the science behind them. My tutoring philosophy involves helping students actually understand their course material so they have the foundation and skills to solve any problem on an exam, even if it looks different than what they've seen.

I’ll do this by pinpointing the specific material the student is struggling with, and breaking it down in a simple way. I’ll teach problem solving skills and provide a simple, systematic way to work through practice problems. I’ll also connect the dots between what is learned in lecture and what types of problems will come up on exams. I couldn’t find this personalized support when I was a student, so that is exactly why I’m passionate about helping current students thrive. My belief is that every student is capable of success once they have the proper support.
