Experience Summary
Teaching 5-10 years of college level organic chemistry,
physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and intro chemistry. Also, I've served as a full time lab assistant. I've had extensive experience in both designing exams, lecturing, tutoring, and providing special assistance to students.
As an attorney, I have always been driven to achieve high levels of excellence in my field. Over the last 20 years I have practiced as a patent attorney in the chemical and biotechnology legal areas.
My training and experience uniquely combine both high level grammatical skills as well as skills in the sciences.
Teaching Style
Easy going, supportive, hard working, direct, open, and
encouraging. My style is to find real world experiences to provide
examples for learning. This approach stimulates students to
actually enjoy chemistry instead of thinking of it as something
difficult or uninteresting. I've also found that the carrot approach works much better than the stick. Everyone can make the grade or higher by being encouraged and helped.
