I'm married to a K-6 teacher. My two sons are professionals: one is an airline pilot and AF Reserve pilot; the other is an AF active-duty doctor and private pilot. I have 3 grandkids, ages 1-17.

I care about my students and want to help make them independent learners with good life skills and solid integrity. I know my subjects very well. I always tutored my HS students voluntarily during lunch/after school. I was a well-liked, sought-after teacher at Folsom HS.

I live in the Empire Ranch part of Folsom. I would gladly come to your home or meet at place of your choice (such as local library, grocery store, etc.).

I majored in Chemistry with a minor in Atmospheric Science. As an instructor pilot in Air Force jets, I taught many aspects of physical and earth science to American and international officer-students for 15 years, and then taught Space Policy and Operations in graduate school. Since then, I have taught Physical and Earth Science to HS freshmen for 20 years. I have lots of real-world hands-on experience.

Great Tutoring Experience

My son had previous chemistry tutors but none were like Kevin. He was such an excellent tutor for my son who had trouble understanding chemistry. After Kevin’s help, my son’s understanding of chemistry grew a lot and ended with a great grade. Thank you Kevin for all your help!

First Session - Experienced and knowledgeable tutor

Kevin is a very experienced and knowledgeable tutor. He has been there and done that so he knows what your kid is facing. He stepped right in to our tutoring needs which was perfect for our situation. My child felt confident after his first class on the chapter they worked on.

Great tutor

Kevin helped our son with Honors Chemistry. My son couldn’t have done it without his weekly help. Kevin is great for test preparation too. His familiarity with the school curriculum and teachers at FHS is especially helpful!

Chem Tutor the Delivers Results!

Kevin has been working with my son for the past 3 weeks and made a positive impact after 1 session. His test scores have increased and his grasp of the material has accelerated tremendously. We will continue to work with Kevin weekly to ensure successful finals and a good grade in Chemistry. Thank you Kevin!

Good tutoring session.

My daughter said the session helped her understand the material better as Kevin explained all the steps of the practice problems. This made her more confident for her test tomorrow.
