Previously I was a practicing analytical chemist for 23 years who has been trained in the West Indies.

I am a recently retired Chemistry professor from a major state college. I have taught chemistry from Introductory to General Chemistry II lecture and laboratory portions. Previously I was a practicing analytical chemist for 23 years who has been trained in the West Indies. I have a deep interest in passing on my knowledge of chemistry and math, helping college and high school students to succeed in the science field where the need is great. Before becoming a professor in 2011, I have helped students (including my daughters) to pass general chemistry 1 and 2, organic chemistry and physics with grades of B and higher. I have also tutored many high school students in algebra 1 and 2, and geometry, also focusing on making sure the concepts for the FCAT has been grasped for mathematics. The tutoring sessions can be in person or online. one on one or as group setting. In the one on one setting, the student is assessed and approached at the level they are, introducing them to the basics necessary for success in the course. My students in the past have expressed the opinion that if their lecturer/teacher had explained the subject matter in the way I did, they would have done much better before my help. I love to tutor students who are really interested in understanding chemistry and math and have peaked the interest of students who were not at this level.
Since tutoring I have seen many students come to love both chemistry and algebra. I recognize the need for students to have a good foundation in the sciences so I am offering my services especially to students who want to have this.

Highly Recommend!

Thanks to Ms. Joan, I got my grade up a whole letter grade with about ten sessions. On top of the work I presented to her, she also gave me additional work and her past tests, which immensely helped me! She moves at a good pace, is thorough in explaining, is punctual, and has a quick response time. I would highly recommend booking with Ms. Joan. Thanks again!

Hello Madisyn, I am happy that I was able to help you achieve your goal of not only passing the course but improve the grade! I wish you all the best! If I can ever be of assistance in the future, do not hesitate to reach out!

Mrs. Joan is a 5 star tutor!

She was an amazing tutor that took the time to understand what I needed out of our sessions. Mrs. Joan was always very flexible with when she could meet. Mrs. Joan put together several weeks of individualized lesson plans to guarantee my success. At the beginning of the semester I was failing my college chemistry course but with the help of an amazing experienced tutor I passed the class with an 85 which was way above the expectations I had set for myself. Mrs. Joan is a 5 star tutor!

ms.Joan is very helpful

She is very intelligent and definitely knows what she is talking about. She is willing to re explain if you don’t get the concept and she doesnt make me feel as if I am a imposition or dumb for not understanding.

She is an amazing, patient and compassionate tutor. Truly grateful to have found her online. She is very easy to understand and takes her time to make sure the topic has been clearly explained. Thank you!!!

Jaden, 28 lessons with Joan

Exceptional at what she does!

My daughter was failing chemistry with an F ave. After two sessions, her average is now a C. Joan explains chemistry thoroughly in the way a child can understand, giving examples and multiple problems to certify their understanding! I would recommend her to anyone!

Gina, 6 lessons with Joan

Very professional

She showed up on time and was very friendly. My daughter was very happy to have somebody very knowledgeable. She's highly recommended.
