I provide friendly tutoring help in Chemistry, and also Biology, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. I meet with students at their home, at a Library, or on-line for tutoring sessions.My rate is $75 / hour with a 1 hour minimum.A bit about me and my teaching philosophy -Chemistry is really not so hard as it first appears to be. There are a few key concepts that I like to pass along that clarify and simplify the problem sets that students face. Sometimes it is a matter of being able to express a problem in mathematical terms. In others it is being able to visualize what happens in a reaction. After being pointed in the right direction, and with a little practice, most any student can excel in chemistry.After a 15 year career in chemistry, I now primarily practice Acupuncture in Brighton. I still love the subject, and enjoy tutoring students in Organic and General Chemistry, as well as biology and math. I was a teaching fellow at Boston University while earning a MS in organic synthesis. I let discussion and laboratory sections. I worked through problem sets with the students, and went over concepts from classroom discussions. I always enjoyed working with students. Maybe some of my enthusiasm for the sciences even rubbed off on them. History Established in 1992. I have been teaching Chemistry off and on since I became a teaching fellow at Boston University in 1992. I love this subject, and love showing my students that it’s not so hard after all.
I graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor and Masters of Science in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. In my career as a chemist, I worked on a wide variety of projects in industry, including cancer research, new materials for electroluminescent devices, environmentally friendly diesel fuel formulations, and organic photographic systems. My work was most concentrated in cancer research, having done this at Boston University and as a long time employee of AstraZeneca.
