Hello!

My name is Hilaire, and I am a High School Chemistry teacher. Well, by title only. I have been teaching for 10 years and have taught a variety of subjects: Spanish, Biology, ESL, Chemistry, Physical Science, and Math. I also have tutored a variety of subjects for over 10 years. I am also National Board Certified. 

In my classes, my philosophy is to get students interested in the topic and make it fun! Students are much more invested when they enjoy the class. 

In my spare time I enjoy running, reading, and spending time with my family.

I hope to see you in class soon!
