i have been interested in chemistry for my entire life. I have a BS in chemistry, an MS in organic chemistry, a PhD in bio-organic chemistry and have been tutoring for over 15 years. My graduate research was in synthetic organic chemistry where we created new and exciting pharmaceutical candidate drugs for testing in mice. The research was very well received, as I received several grants/fellowships and a number of awards. I also was an instructor at the university during that time, where I taught organic chemistry to undergraduate students. I really love teaching students and helping them to learn this difficult but really rewarding course. After taking this course, most students tell me they really loved it and are excited to take another more advanced chemistry course.
