Career Experience

I worked as a chemistry lab instructor for several years, where open office hours were always the norm, and have enjoyed tutoring students of various ages and skill levels for more than 10 years!

I Love Tutoring Because

... it's rewarding to help others in their learning journeys and see their achievements. When I explain concepts a student has been struggling with and see that "light bulb" moment, it's incredibly satisfying. I strive to create a patient and accommodating environment, which some students might not find in their own classroom setting; that extra one-on-one time can make the difference in a student's success.
