Professional Science, Math & Test Prep
As a Ph.D. in chemistry and biology I specialize in helping students get ahead, and stay ahead in advanced Science and Math courses. Whether you're reviewing for A.P. Biology and Chemistry, or looking for improvement in Organic Chemistry or Molecular Biology at university this term, I can help you succeed. Spring dates for the updated SAT and ACT tests are coming up as well, and it's the perfect time to get an early start and put your best foot forward on your college applications. I tutor ...

special needs
I have approximately 10+ years experience tutoring and mentoring students in K-6, high school, and college levels including those with physical, mental and/or learning disabilities. At an elementary school in San Jose, CA, I taught Math to students suffering from Bipolar disorder and ADHD for 3 years. Later, at another school, UCSD, I mentored and tutored 6th-12th graders for four years, with a variety of disabilities, including type 1 diabetes, dyslexia, and ADHD. During four years as a teaching assistant in the Chemistry Department at UCSD, I tutored special needs students with both physical and mental disabilities.
ADD/ADHD
I have previously tutored K-6 and high school aged special needs students suffering from ADD/ADHD in subjects including English, Reading, Writing, Grammar, Mathematics, and Physical Sciences. I have four years experience at the Preuss School, UCSD as a volunteer mentor and tutor.
dyslexia
I have previously tutored K-6, high school and college aged special needs students with dyslexia and related learning disabilities in subjects including English, Reading, Writing, Grammar, Mathematics, and Physical Sciences. I have 10+ years experience with such students including 3 years volunteering at an elementary school in San Jose, CA; four years volunteering at another school, UCSD; and 4 years at the University of California, San Diego as a T.A in the Chemistry Department.

Bonnette N. from San Jose, CA
My son is happy and thankful because Dr. Will is an excellent tutor. He was kind enough to fit him into his schedule.
Kathleen M. from La Jolla, CA
William tutored me in biochemistry this quarter. He always came prepared with notes and outlines of the topics we were going over that day. His explanations were very helpful, as was his teaching style. William is a great tutor. I would highly recommend him to any college (UCSD) students who are taking chemistry or biochemistry classes. He was a huge help in BIBC 102 - metabolic biochemistry! Thanks William!
Shannon L. from San Diego, CA
He is excellent at explaining AP biology and tries to make sure I understand. His lessons are very organized and he goes deeper than any high school teacher would, due to his extensive knowledge in science. This tutor is a five star teacher!
Jan E. from La Jolla, CA
Will helped our son with physics, bringing his grade up from a C to a strong A within a month. He is patient, very knowledgeable and passionate about physics. We would definitely recommend Will!
Kathleen B. from La Jolla, CA
Thanks so much for your help! You are patient and so through. I am looking forward to more algebra tutoring with you. Thanks also for being so available and flexible. You really helped me out.
Joel L. from San Diego, CA
He is excellent at explaining AP biology and tries to make sure I understand. His lessons are very organized and he goes deeper than any high school teacher would, due to his extensive knowledge in science. This tutor is a five star teacher!
Sean M. from San Diego, CA
He is great at communicating and following up. His weekly work assignments are helping me get a good feel for the process.
Carol C. from San Diego, CA
William was very good in explaining and clarifying the topic areas that had been shaky. Glad that he could schedule me in.
Kristine K. from San Diego, CA
Will was very helpful and explained topics which I was having trouble with in a manor which I could understand.
Sacamay E. from Chula Vista, CA
I was able to get a good grasp of the lesson. He comes in well prepared and he welcomes all my questions. He is very patient, until I understand the concept.
Jessica T. from San Diego, CA
I desperately needed help improving my GRE scores, especially the quantitative sections. I met with William once a week for two hours for a little over a month and with his help I doubled my math score! Without his help there I no way I would have been able to improve my scores to this extent. I highly recommend him as a tutor!
Andrea D. from La Jolla, CA
William is helping to bring my daughter up to speed on her AP Chemistry. She had no prior background in the subject and he helps with reviewing the materials, reviewing past exams and studying for future exams.
