I am a middle school and high school math and science teacher with 10+ years of experience. Additionally, I am a homeschooling dad of 15 years who has four kids that are four different types of learners. I have the privilege to teach many subject areas, but chemistry is my favorite as it applies to all other areas of science. My opinion is that if a student understands major chemical concepts, other sciences become more clear. I hold a MS and BS in the natural sciences.
