Career Experience

Now am in retirement after decades of teaching in boarding and day schools where tutoring is a regular part of a day of helping students learn the concepts and find success.

I Love Tutoring Because

I have a real appreciation for the opportunity to make a one to one contribution to achievement and to understanding science and the beauty of how life, our world, and the universe works. Tutoring gives me the reward of daily contact with students.

Si is an incredible chemistry tutor straightforward, knowledgeable, and exactly what you need if you want to truly understand the subject. He has a no-nonsense approach that makes even the most difficult concepts feel manageable. Instead of overcomplicating things, he gets straight to the point, breaking everything down in a way that actually makes sense. What I appreciate most about Si is his patience and ability to adapt to different learning styles. He knows how to pinpoint where you're struggling and gives clear, practical explanations that stick. Whether it’s mastering reaction mechanisms or tackling tough problem sets, he keeps you focused and makes sure you leave each session feeling more confident. If you want a tutor who is efficient, supportive, and truly invested in your success, Si is the one to go to. Highly recommend!

I understand that there is a voice option for these sessions, but I think there needs to be a way for the chatting ones to be quicker. Often times, I'm sitting waiting for my tutor to type something for 3+ minutes which takes a lot of time out of each session. Maybe having an option for them to use their voice to type and then send it?
