I base my classes on your level of understanding of chemistry and start from there. We explore the problems that are holding you back and work together to achieve a mutual understanding of the answers and how we achieved them. We then review the process in achieving the answers to make sure that you understand completely how the answers were reached and try to have fun throughout the process.
An honours graduate in Chemistry from the University of Waterloo, I have over 25 years experience in Industrial Chemistry. A significant extension of my career was the training and teaching of people in the use and application of chemistry in industrial applications. I was also a very successful tutor in high school and university with my students actually scoring higher than myself in tests and exams.
