Bio
I always studied hard because I was raised to understand that hard work pays off. I wish to help others become more at ease with topics they struggle with.
When teaching, my methodology involves describing the perspective of the subject matter and the relevant applications to trigger interest in the learner. Way too often we were taught without context, which I believe ruins the learning experience. I use simple analogies to make abstract concepts more tangible for the learner to figure them out on their own.

Subjects
- University Tutoring
Chemistry
First Year CHE150SI have a well-rounded knowledge of Chemistry. When it comes to the basic tools of Chemistry, from the periodic table to the quantitative analyses, you can rest assured that we will live it up through interactive content.
Organic Chemistry
First Year - Second Year ORG300BOrganic Chemistry becomes less daunting when we take the time to draw the molecules in 3D! Yes, I am talking about molecular shapes here. Memorizing reagents used to synthesize a compound is not wrong but, I would like to take on a journey to learn the compounds for what they truly are in solution.
