Experience
5 years tutoring privately Teaching Fellow at Boston University, teaching discussion sections and laboratory sections Tutoring chemistry prerequisite for NESA students 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 can clarify and simplify the problem sets that students face. In some cases, it is a matter of being able to express a problem in mathematical terms. In others it is being able to visualize exactly 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.
