His 1580 SAT and 4.8 rating back up the depth he brings to exam preparation.

Pre-med coursework at the University of Chicago means Emerson didn't just take chemistry — he built on it through biology and neuroscience classes where understanding electron behavior, molecular interactions, and reaction energetics was essential to grasping how drugs bind receptors or how enzymes catalyze reactions. That real-world chemical intuition translates directly to AP Chemistry's toughest conceptual questions, from VSEPR theory to thermodynamic spontaneity. Holds a 5.0 rating and a 1560 SAT.

I grew up in the Boston area and now live in Citrus County, Florida. I graduated from MIT in chemical engineering and worked for many years as a chemical process engineer, so I have a strong background in math and science, especially chemistry and thermodynamics. I've also been granted six U.S. patents. When the pandemic hit us, I moved to Florida and did part-time work as a chess tutor, then became a substitute teacher in the middle and high schools in our district. I enjoyed working with the students, many of whom had difficulty learning in big classes with many disruptions. I found that I could best help these students by using real-world examples to teach difficult concepts in a new way. Often, then, the student would come away with a new perspective and a much better understanding of the concept. I was happy to be able to help. These days as a VT tutor, I continue to use, whenever possible, real-world examples in my own material in chemistry and thermodynamics.

Scoring a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam while on the pre-med track at Case Western Reserve, Melodi knows which topics — like equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry — carry the most weight on test day and where students tend to lose points on free-response questions.

I am a dedicated tutor with over 3 years of experience serving as an undergraduate teaching assistant in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. I graduated with a B.S. from UF and I am an incoming D1 at Columbia CDM. My focus on subjects like mathematics, general chemistry, and organic chemistry, specifically those on the DAT, allows me to share my passion for science with students. I enjoy helping them grasp complex concepts through relatable examples and practical applications. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where each student feels valued and motivated to succeed. My tutoring approach also emphasizes active engagement and personalized strategies that cater to individual learning styles. I am committed to fostering academic growth and instilling confidence in my students, guiding them toward their educational goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about scientific discoveries, playing tennis and soccer, and relaxing by playing guitar.

Two things that have always been embedded in my soul has been my desire to learn and my desire to share that knowledge with those around me. Throughout my undergraduate, I squeezed in as many extra curriculum classes and worked in several research labs alongside working as a lead STEM tutor at my university's learning center while obtaining my Biomedical Engineering degree. Despite being done with school, I continue my pursuit of knowledge working in different labs and spending free time continuing to read, and I know it'll be a continual lifelong pleasure to help others connect with their own intrinsic knowledge as well! Looking forward to helping you succeed in your academic endeavors!
