This 4-week High School Chemistry Boot Camp is designed to give students a strong foundation in essential chemistry topics or provide a refresher before the school year starts. Whether you’re preparing for your first high school chemistry course, brushing up before AP Chemistry, or filling in learning gaps, this course will boost your confidence and understanding of key concepts. Each week, students will engage with interactive lessons, real-life examples, guided notes, and practice problems—all in a supportive, welcoming environment. I specialize in making chemistry clear, relatable, and even fun!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have over 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring high school chemistry, both in traditional classrooms and online settings. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Indiana University and a Master's degree in Biochemistry from Purdue University. My background in biochemistry gives me a deep understanding of chemistry concepts, and I love breaking them down in ways that are clear and engaging for students. In addition to my teaching career, I homeschool my own children, which has given me a unique perspective on personalized, student-centered learning. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence in science and develop the skills they need to succeed.Reviews
