I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics from Aquinas College and spent nearly 30 years as an industrial chemist before earning a postbaccalaureate in education and teaching math and science for a decade. My philosophy is that any subject becomes manageable once the right foundational skills are in place. In sessions, I diagnose missing skills and build them stepbystep through clear examples and targeted practice. For AP Chemistry, I align instruction to common AP question types and equip students with the background knowledge, problemsolving methods, and testtaking strategies needed to earn top scores.
