Experience Summary
I graduated with a first class bachelors degree in Chemistry with honors from the University of Liverpool, England. During my degree I spent a year working in industry for Zeneca. After graduating I gained another years experience in industry concentrating on the field of combinatorial chemistry. I became a mentor for junior team members.
I was awarded a PhD in medicinal chemistry from the University of Bath in England. My field of expertise was sugar chemistry. During my 4 year course I tutored many undergraduates in lab work.
I have post doctoral research experience in Cancer research from Arizona State University.
Since I decided to tutor chemistry, I have tutored many students including students in high school and college.
Teaching Style
My strength lies in the ability to explain organic chemistry into simple language. This includes first and second semester college organic chemistry.
I am also confident in explaining general chemistry both at high school and college level. Example of topics that I cover are stoichiometry, gas laws, thermodynamics, chemical bonding and VSPER theory, acid/base chemistry, kinetics, equilibrium etc.
My style changes with each individual student. As I was educated in England, a very often have different methods of working out calculations which students find much more simple. I believe in working through problems with my students, asking them simpler questions along the way to get to the final answer.
