Parker
Chemistry, General Science, and Music Tutor
I know what it's like to struggle with Chemistry. When I started college, I picked it up as my major (I had a great high school teacher) but quickly felt lost and bewildered in my first semester of general chemistry. My biggest mistake that first year was trying to do it on my own, and honestly, I didn't do very well. I gave up after two semesters and tried moving on to something else. But being away from it, I realized that I wasn't satisfied by quitting. Long story short, I switched my majo...

I have 2 years experience in faculty-mentored undergraduate research investigating light-dependent nitrogen fixation via heterologous expression of a proteorhodopsin gene. My studies emphasized DNA transcription/translation, gene expression, PCR, primer design, cell culturing methodology, enzymatic transformation of organic molecules.

My daughter really enjoyed her 1st lesson and said that his examples helped her understand. Very encouraging and looking forward to future lessons.

Parker is an excellent tutor. He makes complex concepts in organic chemistry clear and understandable, explaining things from their patterns and roots. From a non-traditional student perspective, I believe this is a crucial approach to be used by all teachers, especially because most professors don't have time to go over too many details while lecturing complicated subjects such as organic chemistry. Parker is also very patient and a pleasant person, which is a plus for those students who may feel intimidated by tutors. Overall, a great experience.

I was in a position to understand some very difficult concepts in chemistry for an upcoming exam and Parker managed to take hours of endless studying and help me understand it in a very short time. I did not think it would be possible for me to grasp the concepts of certain material so quickly. On top of this, he managed to do it with a smile as well as make me feel extremely comfortable. For anyone thinking of hiring Parker, don't waste your valuable to time on "wondering" if you should. Just do it, you'll be happy you did. Amazing tutor.

We had the pleasure of having Parker help our son with High School Honors Chemistry. He is extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable and accessible. It's clear that he truly enjoys teaching. Our son got an A for the year primarily because of Parker's help. He was great! Thanks, Parker!
