About Yongmao


Bio

I'm a Ph.D chemist trained in a prestigious US university and have extensive experience in teaching and tutoring in high school sciences, freshman General Chemistry, sophomore Organic Chemistry, and advanced chemistry courses.

Through one-on-one and group tutoring, the subjects will be presented in a way that caught interest, clarified difficult topics and led student(s) through complex areas, and put knowledge into context so that its relevance was apparent.

I'm a Ph.D chemist trained in a prestigious US university and have extensive experience in teaching and tutoring in high school sciences, freshman General Chemistry, sophomore Organic Chemistry, and advanced chemistry courses.

Through one-on-one and group tutoring, the subjects will be presented in a way that caught interest, clarified difficult topics and led student(s) through complex areas, and put knowledge into context so that its relevance was apparent.

As a chemistry educator, especially one who is tutoring at the high school and undergraduate levels, I will bring a lot of energy to my student(s). If I can't get excited about my subject, why should my student(s)? Another important element of my tutoring is encouraging critical thinking and rational problem solving, especially in developing logical arguments.

Organic Chemistry

I earned a Ph.D in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis. When I was in Graduate School, I served as a graduate teaching-research assistant for six years. Also in my post-graduate career, I worked in biomedical research labs and I conducted, on a regular basis, one-on-one teaching and mentoring undergraduate researchers, graduate students and other trainees. Starting Fall 2014, I teach Introductory Chemistry, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Chemistry for Healthcare Professionals at The University of Tampa and Hillsborough Community College.

MCAT

MCAT

I am a Ph.D chemist with a major in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, but never a physician nor took a MCAT. I am a certified MCAT instructor in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry with The Princeton Review. Therefore, I am able to tutor both chemistry parts in MCAT preparation specifically.

Great tutor

Youngmao is not only very knowledgeable but a great tutor,his teaching style is letting the student show his strengths while doing the work and then he intervenes when the student shows his weaknesses, asking questions and having the student show some critical thinking (college style). About his personality, he is polite, soft spoken and punctual. I will recommend him to anybody taking AP chemistry.

Lilibeth, 13 lessons with Yongmao

Great tutor!

Yongmao is very intelligent and patient. I learned substitution reactions, elimination reactions, and radicals with him and he completely broke them down and made sure I understood every step of the way. It will also be even more helpful to bring example problems from your topic to work on during the session.

Matraca, 1 lesson with Yongmao

Knowledgeable and very patient tutor

My lesson with Dr. S was excellent. I did not feel rushed and was able to completely review all of my questions. I would highly recommend him as a tutor for Organic Chemistry or General Chemistry.

Caprice, 6 lessons with Yongmao

Excellent tutor!

Yongmao helped me understand concepts in Chemistry and used relatable analogies to help apply it to Chemistry. He is very patient and an excellent tutor!

Rachel, 4 lessons with Yongmao

Knowledgeable and explains things well

Dr. Yongmao was great with my daughter, during her tutoring session. She told me that she brought specific lessons with her, that she didn't understand and he was able to help her navigate through them. We will definitely be using Dr. Yongmao again for chemistry help!

Erin, 1 lesson with Yongmao

Solid Tutor

Yongmao is the man. I was struggling in Chem 1, but now I have a much better understanding. Solid dude and solid technique. Yongmao is the real MVP.

Garrett, 1 lesson with Yongmao

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Helped me with my upcoming test. Willing to work with you on a regular schedule to accomplish your learning goals.

Sierra, 3 lessons with Yongmao

Overall a great tutor!

My first session with Mr. Yongmao S. was very helpful. He was understanding of the fact that I had no clue what I was doing when it came to the math intensive portions of what we worked with. I really liked how patient he was with me telling him I still don't understand (after a few times of him explaining the content to me) because it made me feel okay that I wasn't grasping it right away. He relates the problems to real life so it makes it easier to relate it and then understand the questions. I was impressed with how quickly he can do math in his head! I wasn't uncomfortable with him at all- he's polite, friendly, and professional.

Selena, 1 lesson with Yongmao

Great tutor!

Yongmao was an amazing tutor. He is very professional and well prepared. He helped my daughter understand areas of chemistry that otherwise seemed impossible. He was very patient and thorough in his approach. I would highly recommend him.

Sue, 1 lesson with Yongmao

Very good tutor!

My son really enjoys his sessions with Yongmao, he is a thorough and intelligent chemistry tutor. We would definitely recommend him to any student that is struggling with chemistry!
