I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

I have taught and mentored students at the University of Alberta, Fudan University, and UET, and I also have significant industry experience in process engineering, wastewater treatment, remediation projects, and safety training. This combination allows me to connect classroom concepts with real-world practice, helping students see not only "how" but also "why" science and engineering matter. I tutor a wide range of subjects including AP Chemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Environmental Science, Biology, Physics, Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Process Control, and Engineering Design. Drawing on my research in biochar, hydrothermal processing, wastewater treatment, PFAS remediation, and oil sands reclamation, I enrich lessons with real examples from cutting-edge projects. My industrial background includes training more than 100 workers in health, safety, and operations, supported by certifications such as NEBOSH International General Certificate, Six Sigma Green Belt, and my designation as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng., APEGA). My teaching philosophy is grounded in student-centered learningI tailor explanations to different learning styles, encourage questions, and use step-by-step strategies to build confidence. I often incorporate case studies from environmental engineering and chemical process industries to make abstract topics more tangible. Witnessing students not only improve academically but also develop curiosity and problem-solving skills is my greatest motivation. Outside of teaching, I stay engaged with innovations in environmental technology and enjoy exploring nature, both of which fuel my passion for inspiring students to see science and engineering as tools for creating a more sustainable and safer future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students typically find material and energy balance equations challenging—especially when juggling multiple streams and reactive systems simultaneously. Thermodynamics concepts like entropy, enthalpy, and phase equilibria also trip up many learners because they require both mathematical rigor and intuitive understanding of molecular behavior. Unit conversions across different systems (SI, English, molar basis) consistently cause errors, and students often struggle to visualize what's happening at the molecular level during distillation, heat transfer, or reaction kinetics. Transport phenomena is another major pain point because it demands comfort with differential equations applied to real fluid flow and mass transfer scenarios.

A tutor can break down the systematic approach: defining system boundaries clearly, identifying what enters and leaves, accounting for accumulation, and recognizing when reactions or phase changes complicate things. They'll help you build a mental framework for tackling problems methodically rather than guessing which equations to use. Many students benefit from working through increasingly complex examples—starting with simple non-reactive balances, then adding reactions, then incorporating recycle streams—so you develop confidence and pattern recognition. A tutor can also catch common mistakes like forgetting to account for water in combustion problems or mixing mass and molar bases inconsistently.

Rather than treating thermodynamics as a collection of formulas to memorize, a tutor connects abstract concepts to tangible examples—explaining entropy through molecular disorder, showing how enthalpy relates to bond breaking and formation, and demonstrating why certain reactions are spontaneous. They'll help you visualize phase diagrams, understand what happens during throttling or adiabatic expansion, and build intuition for why equilibrium constants behave the way they do. This conceptual foundation makes problem-solving faster and helps you predict outcomes even in unfamiliar scenarios, rather than being stuck when a problem doesn't match a memorized template.

Chemical Engineering requires fluency across multiple unit systems—SI, English, molar vs. mass basis—often within a single problem. A single conversion error cascades through calculations, and it's easy to lose track of whether you're working with kg/s or kmol/h, especially under exam pressure. Tutors help by teaching systematic conversion strategies: identifying your starting and target units explicitly, using dimensional analysis rigorously, and double-checking that your final answer makes physical sense. They also help you recognize when unit mismatches indicate a conceptual error, not just a careless mistake.

Transport phenomena bridges mathematics and physical intuition, which is why many students find it overwhelming. A tutor will help you understand what differential equations actually represent—how they describe momentum, heat, or mass transfer at a point in space and time—before diving into solving them. They'll connect the math to real scenarios: what does a velocity profile actually look like in pipe flow, and why does that shape matter? Building comfort with shell balances and understanding boundary conditions becomes much clearer with guided practice, and tutors can help you develop problem-solving strategies that don't require memorizing every type of solution.

Chemical Engineering labs require translating theory into experimental design—choosing equipment, predicting outcomes, troubleshooting when results don't match theory. A tutor can help you think through why you're measuring specific variables, what assumptions your calculations rely on, and how real-world constraints (equipment limitations, safety, cost) shape design decisions. They can also help you interpret unexpected lab results by walking through the physics and chemistry involved, rather than just accepting a number. This deeper understanding strengthens both your lab reports and your ability to think like an engineer solving open-ended problems.

Reaction kinetics requires understanding rate laws, mechanisms, and how variables like temperature and concentration affect reaction speed—but students often memorize rate expressions without grasping why they have that form. Reactor design then layers on the complexity: you need to apply kinetics inside a specific reactor model (batch, CSTR, PFR) while simultaneously managing heat transfer and material balances. Tutors help by starting with simple rate laws and single reactions, then progressively building to more complex scenarios like consecutive or parallel reactions. They also emphasize the practical purpose of each reactor type—why a CSTR is good for fast reactions and temperature control, for example—so the math connects to engineering reasoning.

Look for someone with strong fundamentals in thermodynamics, material and energy balances, and transport phenomena—the core courses that support everything else. Ideally, they've worked through upper-level courses like reaction engineering, separation processes, or process control, so they understand how concepts connect across the curriculum. Experience with ChemCAD, MATLAB, or other engineering software is a plus, especially if you need help with computational work. Most importantly, seek someone who can explain *why* equations work and how to visualize what's happening physically, not just someone who can solve textbook problems quickly.
