Tutoring and Mentorship
Having tutored many students over the years I have the heart of a teacher and understand how getting through classes and starting a career can be a very daunting task. There were many times during my school when I wished individual tutors were available, but as classes got more advanced it seemed harder and harder to find. I'm currently located in Atlanta GA and I am open to working with students via Zoom or in person if they are in the Georgia Tech / Buckhead area. See below for more details. Pricing is dependent on your particular needs but can range from $40-$80/hr. Please contact me if you have any questions and we can talk about your situation.
Early Career/Mentorship
Flunk your first calculus midterm?
Have doubts that engineering is for you?
Considering a career in the hard-sciences?
Disillusioned by your educational choices and want to pivot fields?
​
Here are some of the things I can help with...
Early-Early College (Freshman-Sophomore)
Creating a general understanding of a career path in the sciences and engineering fields.
Identifying passions, strengths and weaknesses and how they might work within your career.
Will community college hurt my career options?
What I wish I had known when beginning school.
How to research career fields. Qualifications and pay for the field you might enjoy.
Have a dream job? Let's investigate what it will take to get the job you're interested in.
How to make sure your hard work is driving your towards your desired goals. Picking a major etc.
Choosing peers. Building relationships that matter.
Meeting professors. Being assertive and purposeful.
What I wish I had known...
Mid-College (Junior-Senior)​
Writing your first resume with seemingly little actual experience.
Pursuing mentor relationships.
Getting the most out of group projects. Taking initiative and adding to your resume.
Letters of recommendation.
Internships.
Picking an emphasis and planning ahead.
Disillusioned about your educational choices? How I pivoted, leveraged my current skill set and didn't lose hope.
Late-College/Early Career (First Jobs and Graduate School)​
What do "Real" engineers and scientists do?
What is an informational interview and how can it shed light on your job search.
Prepping for interviews.
Networking for introverts.
Know where you are headed. Job X leads to management, job Y leads to being a technical expert.
Interviewing employers. Picking a healthy work environment that will compliment your strengths and push you to grow.
Dealing with rejection. Making the most of all interviews and learning to ask for feedback.
Not ready for work yet? What a graduate program might look like for you. Evaluating cost, research opportunities, and post-graduate expectations.

Chemistry Tutoring
I have an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from UC Davis. I took specialized courses in soil, water and environmental and inorganic chemistry. I have tutored many students over the years and know how chemistry can feel like a foreign language. Let me help you learn.
At this time I am only tutoring the following courses. . .
General chemistry
Atmospheric chemistry
Environmental chemistry
Indoor air quality
Pollution and chemical transport
