About Your Tutor

"I am a former chemical engineer, and current graduate student with nearly 3 years experience tutoring in physics and calculus — and 2 years training professionals in technical fields — I help students achieve the grades their families hope for, while still making time for the more "fun" parts of the college/university experience. Every session is designed to strengthen understanding, build confidence, and enhance academic performance."
