Experience

Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University with a long history of student success is reaching out to scholars in the Portland area. Over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience from grades 6-8 all the way up through seniors in college; working with students from a wide range of backgrounds, learning styles, and experiences. • 4 years experience tutoring at risk students in 6-8 grade, science and math. • 6 years teaching experience at Stanford University in general, organic, and inorganic chemistry. • 8 years tutoring in 1:1 and small group settings. I love science, and sharing what I've learned over the years. Teaching students has been one of the most rewarding parts of my education. The joy of seeing people replace frustration with understanding is the most satisfying process. It’s not just about getting the right answer but understanding how to get to the answer! You can't study for exams; you have an in-depth understanding of the material in order to succeed. Specializing in science, chemistry, and mathematics, my approach is student focused, built around your schedule, and at a pace that works for you. I offer a non-threatening, fun, and creative approach to learning. When a student does not understand something or is having difficulty, I see it as my job to rethink how I'm presenting information so that it can be received and understood. My goal is to make you feel safe, in a positive learning environment, where you can ask questions and gain the understanding needed to succeed in your courses, school, and life.
