I am the winner of Frank Gibbs Ryan Award for outstanding performance in chemical and pharmaceutical laboratory coursers at Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science in 1991. I graduated magna cum ... laude with a B.S. degree in Pharmacy in May of 1991. In high school, I took chemistry as a sophomore with a class full of juniors and was at the top of the class. It helped that I found it fun! I have used elements of chemistry in my job as a pharmacist for 23 years.read more

Bio I am a retired pharmacist who loves helping students with math and science! I will help middle school students all the way through Calculus students find the gaps in their knowledge and figure ou... t the answers for themselves. Biology (see my pictured T-shirt) and chemistry are two science courses I can help high school or college students learn better. College students majoring in health professions would find me a great partner to navigate through courses like microbiology, pharmacology, or biochemistry. I have become an ACT expert in math and science over the past 6 years. I have seen students bring their scores up 4-10 points, earn scholarships, and get admitted to their schools of choice. If your student needs help standing out from the crowd in my sections, I am the tutor to assist your student. (I also have someone to refer you to for help in the English and reading sections if you need it.) My approach is generally casual. I like to assess what is trying to be taught and what the student does and does not understand about the subject matter. Then I try to have the student reason with me verbally, and I direct the thinking towards the right direction. I don't give out answers or spoon feed material because the student learns better when he/she figures it out with guidance. I will also get interactive with flash cards, quizzes, or other material if appropriate. Depending on the homework assignments the student has, I may supplement it with something I think the student will find helpful. I look forward to working with you soon! :-)read more
