I tutor chemistry (general and physical chemistry) plus physics and math. Sessions are structured, friendly, and focused on results—so you’re not just “getting through homework,” you’re building durable problem‑solving skills.
High-yield tutoring for grades, exams, and long-term mastery—without the stress.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, acids/bases, thermochemistry, kinetics, electrochemistry, and more.
Thermodynamics, quantum fundamentals, kinetics, and electrochemistry—clear intuition plus reliable problem-solving strategies.
Vectors, forces, energy, E&M, and the calculus/algebra that make problems feel predictable.

You’re working with someone who teaches this material professionally—and knows where students usually get stuck.
Course design and delivery for large general chemistry sections (in‑person + asynchronous online) and leadership of instructor/TA teams.
Taught general chemistry (including a course of my own design), introductory chemistry lecture in large sections, an intro lab section, and supported physical chemistry. Responsibilities include demos, supervising TAs/SIs, and well-attended office hours.
Taught general chemistry including ~300‑student sections, plus physics courses; exams, office hours, active learning, and TA/LA coordination.
Straightforward pricing. Online worldwide or in-person in the East Valley (AZ).
Best for targeted concept rebuilding, exam prep, and building a reliable problem-solving process.
Great if you have a friend/classmate in the same course and want structured practice together.
