About Me
I have a BS in Chemistry from Michigan State University and an MS in Environmental Toxicology (focus on Environmental Chemistry) from Cornell University. I was an undergraduate TA for General Chemistry at MSU in the Lyman Briggs College of Science for 2 years and guest lecturer for a graduate-level Water Chemistry course at Cornell. I've tutored over 40 students in General and AP Chemistry. I love tutoring because it gives me the chance to provide individualized attention and support to students.
Hobbies & Interests
Fitness, being outside, playing with my cats, and eating lots of ice cream.
Education
Bachelors, Chemistry - Michigan State University
Masters, Environmental Toxicology - Cornell University
Q&A with Amy
I believe that the most effective way to learn chemistry is through lots of practice. Thus, with each of my students, I will create practice problems to teach concepts, and will help them continually recall concepts that have been previously covered. How would you help a student stay motivated? Finding ways to help students relate the material to their interests can increase motivation. If they understand how a topic impacts something they are interested (and something beyond chemistry class), that can be a powerful motivator.
