Experience Summary
I hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry and currently work as a research scientist discovering and developing new drugs to combat human diseases.
As a graduate student, I served as a teaching assistant leading general, organic, and biochemistry tutorials and labs. For this, I was paid a teaching assistantship and was happy recipient of the 2005 Maeser Baeur Best Teaching Assistant award at the department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at USU. This award is based mostly on student evaluations of all the teaching assistants in the department.
By the end of my first year as a teaching assistant, I began receiving several requests from students to serves as their private tutor. At the beginning I accepted to tutor because it gave me extra money. However, as time went by I found that the most satisfaction I got from tutoring was the joy and excitement I got from the voices of once struggling students calling to tell me, “I got an A or a B+, or I got the admission into pharmacy, dental, or medical school.
For the past 22 years of my life when I was first introduced to chemistry in middle school, I have either been learning, teaching or using chemistry to discover new chemistry to treat human disease. Each time I tutor a student I have just one goal in mind – use all these experiences to make chemistry simple and “digestible” to them.
Every time and with every student it has worked like a charm. I am confident it will work for you or your kid. Before that happens, I guess you know what to do! Thank you for choosing me and see you at our first session.
