Gabrielle SolymosyChicago, ILMolecular Engineering Student at the University of Chicago Passionate about STEM Education
I have studied Chemistry for the last four years and will continue to do so as an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago where I double major in Molecular Engineering (specializing in Chemical Engineering) and Chemistry.
When I first started learning Chemistry as a sophomore in high school, I was engaged and interested in the class, but was not able to translate that into performing well on tests. Nevertheless, I wanted to learn more Chemistry and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation, so I took AP Chemistry my junior year. Finally, during my senior year of high school, I took an Honors Organic Chemistry class where I won the class award at the end of the year with an average of 98% in the class. At the end of high school, I knew I wanted to pursue Chemistry at a higher level since I had fell in love with the subject.
In college, my favorite and most challenging class was Honors General Chemistry that I took this past year. I persevered through the class and ended up with straight A's for the year. Next year, I am taking Organic Chemistry, and my exposure to other types of Chemistry has developed my "Chem-tuition."
I understand what it's like to struggle through Chemistry. I have pushed myself and stayed up all night studying, but I have learned so many techniques and gained so much knowledge about Chemistry. As your Chemistry tutor, I am able to meet you where you are and teach you my tips and tricks. I will personalize your learning so you can both succeed in the classroom and enjoy learning about Chemistry.
