Nilsa
BA in Chemistry: Science and math tutor
I earned a bachelor's degree in Chemistry at Azusa Pacific University in May of 08. I am currently a math and science teacher at a private school. I plan on attending graduate school to obtain a PhD in Geochemistry where I want to pursue a profession as a college professor in chemistry, as well as conduct research (when my boys get a little older). My tutoring journey began in college when I would help my classmates in study rooms to understand chemistry better. When people started notic...

Nilsa is an amazing tutor. We have 2 high school boys and she has helped us with Chemistry and Algebra II. She was so helpful, and super accommodating in scheduling. She made all the difference.

Nilsa has made a tough subject for our son much more pleasant. She communicates clearly and finds ways to break through. Nilsa goes above and beyond to make sure that our son is successful in his subjects and making time for him. I can't say enough good things about her.

Nilsa has been wonderful to work with. There was some anxiety when we arrived, but that quickly changed to hopefulness. Nilsa related well on a personal level while being able to restore confidence and began to make headway towards learning goals. Incredibly lucky to connect with such a positive, competent instructor. Confident this will make all the difference.

Nilsa was terrific for high level chemistry teaching! She was both patient and thorough. I am positive her assistance will give the boost to my son to attain the solid A he wants to achieve.

I just wish she were my student's TEACHER! She's fantastic and is certainly teaching my son chemistry outside the classroom. She is making up for what is lacking INSIDE his classroom. Don't know what we'd do without her.

My son was pleased with this tutoring session and found it to be most helpful preparing for his upcoming exam.

Nilsa tutored me in college chemistry and she surpassed all my expectations. I have had many experiences with tutors, but this one was by far the best and most professional. She was able to adjust her teaching style to my learning style and made sure to use techniques which helped me most. She went out of her way to help me, whether it be by creating outlines with me or meeting at a time which best suits me. Without her knowledge and passion for the subject I would never have understood concepts as well as I do now. I will definitely be continuing my studies with Nilsa!

There aren't enough good things I can say about Nilsa. Not only is she an amazing teacher, she is also caring and kind. She created packets for every chapter of my organic chemistry book so that I can better understand what i was learning; I will be asking for her assistance this next semester when I start ochem part 2. She always wants to put the student ahead of the game by starting the material early so when the student goes to class, he/she is prepared to understand the lecture. I admit I am a little bit difficult to teach because I ask so many questions, but she is very intelligent and finds the answer either by putting the pieces together and explaining the concepts or she goes back to her own resources (textbooks) and finds the answer. Overall, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for success in any of the subjects she teaches.

I have taken chemistry twice and failed them twice. For my last attempt at taking chemistry I hired Nilsa to help me pass this class. I passed the class!!! thanks to Nilsa's help! She's the best, most nicest, most patient and awesome tutor I've ever had! Thank you Nilsa for helping me pass this class!
