Tutor Information

About

Greetings! I am a retired Chemistry Professor and have taught basic chemistry for close to 25 years. I've taught chemistry to Nursing students, Pre-Med students, and Chemistry Majors. Most of my teaching has been in a classroom setting but I have taught courses online and have also tutored students online. My favorite aspect of teaching is working with students on a one-on-one basis. I strive to show students how to solve a problem using a step-by-step approach. I also do my best to provide a basic understanding of the topic under discussion. I enjoy working with students and do my best to provide explanations which allow the student to gain confidence in approaching and solving problems in chemistry. It is very satisfying to me when a student "gets it". I am also patient and respectful when working with students. I am looking forward to helping you with your assignments and prepare you for upcoming exams. Professor Dave.
