Private tutor in San Mateo, CA

Education

I graduated from UC Berkeley with Honors in Chemistry, and then I finished my PhD degree at MIT. I have been a teaching fellow for hundreds of students in general chemistry and organic chemistry. I know the common mistakes and frustrations that students have, and more importantly I can get you results! I have reference from my students who went from C's to A's in both AP chemistry and Honor Chemistry classes. In addition, they also received 730-800 on the SAT II Subject as well as 5's on the AP Exam

Experience

Since I received my Ph.D. in the area of organic chemistry, I am also very familiar with different types of organic reactions, mechanism and laboratory techniques. I simply love organic chemistry. I have worked with and continue to work with college students of various levels. In addition to helping students with chemistry, I have also worked with various high school students with their college essays. My extensive and lengthy academic background allows me to provide practical and useful tips for students in putting their best foot forward toward their dream schools. I have worked with high school students from Monta Vista, Lynbrook, Harker, St Francis, Milpitas, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Leigh, Gunn, Leland, Palo Alto, Irvington, Pioneer and Mission San Jose. Moreover, I have also worked with students from UC Irvine, UC Berkeley, UCSD, CSU East Bay, San Jose State University, UC Davis, University of Pacific, Foothill Community College, City College of San Francisco, and De Anza Community College. As such, I am familiar with the curricula in these schools.
