Chemistry teacher | Experienced educator in USA

As a Chemistry enthusiast with a degree from Purchase College, State University of New York, my passion lies in unraveling the mysteries of the molecular world. I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to every tutoring session. Whether it's demystifying chemical reactions or clarifying complex concepts, I'm dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of Chemistry. Let's embark on a journey of scientific discovery together – where questions are welcomed, and understanding is the destination.
