Teacher expertise and credentials
Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate in Science
Hi! I'm Julie and I'll be your guide as we navigate the amazing world of Chemistry! In addition to my time teaching on Outschool, I have over two decades of experience teaching and tutoring chemistry at various levels, and I'm excited to be able to share my knowledge and passion with a wider audience.
I have a BS in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Pennsylvania Chemistry Grades 7-12 teaching certificate and graduate coursework in Chemistry and Science Education from Penn State University. I have over 20 years of chemistry teaching and tutoring experience including private tutoring, teaching high school Chemistry and AP Chemistry for 7 years, and teaching college freshman chemistry recitation and lab sections for several semesters. I've also taught after school science programs, worked for summer science camps, and worked at a science museum developing science outreach activities.
When people find out I'm a chemistry teacher, I'm often met with "Oh man, I hated chemistry!" or "that was such a hard class!" or "I never would have passed chemistry if I didn't cheat!" (actual quote from a former boss!) That makes me so sad, because chemistry is something that I think everyone can (and should!) understand, at least on some level. I try to make the class easy to understand- by no means does that mean I'm watering down the content- but what that does mean is I'll use words and analogies to help atoms, reactions, and molecules make sense to you!
Many of my classes are focused on chemistry because that's what I know and love!
While I am required to set an age level for my classes, please feel free to contact me to discuss enrollment if your student falls outside the age range but still wants to enroll. I can create another section geared towards their age-group or modify the course content to meet their needs. I warmly welcome gifted learners and neurodiverse learners to my classes!
**Please note that all live classes must have a minimum of 3 students unless I contact you to say otherwise. All classes that do not meet the minimum within 24 hours of the class will be canceled.**
