I have hiked and rock climbed in Yosemite, Tetons, Rockies, Yellowstone, Sequoia, Zion, Bryce. Besides bringing this outside experience, songs and mnemonic devices help students underst... Read more

If you can solve problems from the textbook from memory, you are well on your way to success. Finally, I will readily admit I don't know e... Read more

Students can master chemistry when I help them relate the material to everyday concepts, and it's awesome to see their confidence with effort but without struggling. I have a PhD in organic chemistry and am active in the industry for my daily occupation,... Read more
