I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Ben: Edmonton tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a postdoctoral scholar at Northwestern University researching renewable materials. I received my BA in chemistry from Cornell University in 2013 and completed my PhD in polymer chemistry in 2018 from Stanford University. At Stanford, I won several teaching awards both at the departmental and university level for my work as a TA. I'm excited to tutor students of all levels in chemistry!

In my mind, succeeding in chemistry isn't about memorizing equations or reactions. Chemistry is learning a new language. It's mastering a new way of approaching the world. My focus when tutoring is to help students break through the barriers when speaking this new language!

When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy playing Pokemon, going to the gym, writing, and eating.
