My name is Julie Smith and I have a Master's Degree in Chemistry from Florida State University.
I have three years of college-level teaching experience and over 25 years of tutoring experience in General and Organic Chemistry. My success stories include several students who have been admitted to pharmacy schools, medical schools, veterinary medicine programs, and physician assistant programs. Some of these former students are currently working in these fields, while others who I still keep in touch with are working on even more advanced programs.
I have tutored students of all ages ranging from 10 to over 60. I specialize in finding the "disconnect" and helping you conquer it so you can succeed! I enjoy using a variety of examples and analogies to make the subject matter clear. I am intentional about explaining why something is the way it is rather than just showing the way to do it. Understanding the reason behind the steps in problem-solving can carry you through many courses!
I tutor all of my students online using a whiteboard application. Online tutoring is convenient for all parties. I am also happy to work with small groups of students taking the same class. For small groups, I offer a discounted rate per student. I strongly recommend not waiting until the last minute to seek help, but if you have, and need a good "cram session," I can help you!
Also, if you have a question between regular sessions, I am happy to answer short questions by phone, text, or email. Please contact me to discuss your concerns in a current or upcoming class, I would love to hear from you and discuss your tutoring needs - Don't wait until it is too late!
