Ph.D. in Chemistry; 2005; University of Vermont
Over 10 years of experience teaching chemistry at the University level
I have had well over a decade of experience teaching thousands of college freshmen chemistry. Who better to tutor your chemistry needs than someone who teaches this subject for a living? It's OK to hate chemistry. (read more)
...Physics requires extensive use of differential equations to solve difficult problems. This is even more true when doing Biophysics research because in biological systems there is a need to talk about processes in terms of thermodynamics and rates of change. My experience in Biophysics has given... (read more)
