Questions about my Teaching Style
What makes you so different from the zillions of other tutors?
​
** I teach you HOW to understand the science, then you can
independently do your homework.
​
** I'm a former scientist so I know how to explain science-- and actually do the experiments.
​
* I pre-teach some of the concepts so it's easier for you to follow your teacher's lectures.
(you will be THAT student who everyone wants to ask questions/get your notes)
​
* I'm funny (amusing?)-- an hour goes by and you are shocked that it's time to leave!
​
* I know sports, cooking, and super random facts so I give great analogies for the problems.

Questions about the Tutoring Process
How does it work? I work one-on-one with students, but please contact me if you require a different situation.
​
Where do you tutor? I tutor outdoors at my house or remotely using Zoom.
How much does a session cost? The fee varies with the type of tutoring session.
​
How do we pay you? Remote payments (Zelle) are preferred by the majority of my clients.

How does Chemistry tutoring work?
I recommend that I tutor chemistry students once a week--every week--to keep the students caught up on the material.
I also recommend a set of pre-Chem algebra refresher sessions in August. The teachers hit the ground running in September and everyone is rusty!!
