Education

Harvard School of Dental Medicine Expected Graduation 2021 Williams College Chemistry and Chinese Major with 3.7 GPA I'm no stranger to standardized tests, and have taking the SATs, SAT IIs, and the Dental Admissions Test (DAT).

Chemistry Qualifications: I've taken and received A/A- in: Gen Chem I/II, Organic Chemistry I/II, Biology I/II, and Biochemistry. I also took AP Biology and AP Chemistry in high school and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Whether you're struggling with dimensional analysis, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, or kinetics, let me help you understand and master the concepts you need to succeed!

Experience

Hello guys! I graduated from Williams College in 2015 with a bachelors in Chemistry and Chinese. I've always loved Chemistry and have also been a teaching assistant for over 3 years helping students understand and master new concepts in class and in lab. But as much as I love taking classes and learning, I love teaching even more. In high school, I especially enjoyed helping classmates in my biology, chemistry, physics, and math classes, and found myself learning more thoroughly when I was able to distill what I had learned and share that knowledge with others. I have a wide variety of interests, including science, math, and language, but my strongest areas are in Chemistry, math and Chinese. The approach I take to every tutoring session is to introduce the main concept and then apply those concepts to solving problems. I believe the fastest way to achieve a higher test score is to do practice problems. And often, when students can complete a problem alone, they've mastered the underlying concept as well. I will be starting Harvard Dental School this summer and am looking to fill up my free time helping students in middle school, high school, and college with their science and math classes. In addition, I am also a native Chinese speaker and can tutor in conversational Chinese, AP Chinese and other advanced level Chinese courses. I'd love to help you succeed in your classes, so don't hesitate to reach out. I'm available anytime during the week.
