Experienced tutor with MSc Organometallic Chemistry offering Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics tutoring (in-person within Edmonton or online)

Chris was a labmate and mentor of mine while working in a chemistry research lab at the University of Ottawa. When I started working in this lab as a first-year undergraduate student, I was unconfident in my skillset, extremely inexperienced with regards to lab techniques, and only had a shallow understanding of organic and inorganic chemistry. Over time, he not only trained me in lab techniques, but he also taught me various chemistry concepts that helped me excel in subsequent chemistry courses that I took.

As an example, when I joined the lab, I knew nothing about nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. However, Chris patiently taught me the fundamentals of NMR, which increased my skillset as a researcher, boosted my confidence in the chemistry field, and allowed me to easily breeze through the NMR module in the second-year organic chemistry course!

From my experience, Chris is an effective communicator and a thorough teacher. He also provides encouragement and acknowledges when progress is being made. He really makes it his mission to see his students improve and is a strong choice for tutoring services!

Chris is a colleague of mine from our undergraduate education in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alberta. Chris won a major of award for his mastery of organic chemistry, and I have witnessed him tutor a number of students to a success outcome in their chemistry courses.

Chris is an excellent listener, and meets students wherever they are in their chemistry journey. He expertly communicates complicated subjects to both his students and colleagues, and has a well-earned reputation as an excellent educator in the chemical sciences.
