My passion for chemistry began in childhood, where I grew up seeing the practical, real-world impact of science through the application of herbicides in agriculture. My curiosity was heightened in high school by a teacher who approached the subject with such charm and patience that it changed my entire perspective on learning. Today, I strive to bring that same encouragement and clarity to the students I mentor, believing that anyone can excel in chemistry when the content is presented in a way that fits their personal learning style. During my time as a peer-assisted learning tutor, I led bi-weekly study sessions for chemistry students at the university level. Rather than just lecturing, I focused on active engagement by working through practice problems alongside the students, testing their conceptual understanding in real-time, and providing immediate, constructive feedback. I concluded each session by sharing strategic study tips to help students navigate course material more effectively on their own. I am eager to provide that same level of dedicated support to help you achieve your goals and find confidence in the lab and the classroom.
