Leera R.
Private tutor in Berkeley, CA
Education
Ph.D in organic chemistry from Bryn Mawr College.
Experience
Tutored students for high school AP chemistry as well as college general chemistry and organic chemistry. I find it very fulfilling to help a student that may be struggling. I enjoy giving them more confidence in themselves so that they can enjoy the process of learning. I have tutored undergraduates while I was working on my Ph.D. in organic chemistry. I have led group discussions to assist these students to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts. I was also an undergraduate teaching assistant helping students understand the fundamental ideas in introductory general chemistry and organic chemistry. I am very familiar with the AP chemistry curriculum for high school. I can provide help and guidance so that the student can achieve the highest mark on the test. I believe in engaging the student in a discussion based learning. This method allows me to understand the depth of the understanding from where I can then prepare the kinds of questions that will focus on the ideas and concepts that the student finds challenging.
