How I can help

Science tutoring for middle and high school students in one-on-one, in-person sessions around south Charlotte.

Subjects I tutor

I taught every one of these courses in real middle and high school classrooms over my 30+ year career.

  • AP Biology

    The whole course, from biochemistry and cell energetics through genetics, evolution, and ecology — plus the free-response practice and data analysis the exam actually asks for.

  • Biology

    Cells, genetics and heredity, energy and life, evolution, ecology, and lab skills. I help students understand the concepts and mechanisms, connect the dots between them, and see how the big picture fits together to form systems and processes.

  • Chemistry

    Standard chemistry — the periodic table, atomic structure, matter and measurements, chemical bonding, reaction types, gas laws, solutions, molecules, and lab skills. Note that I do not tutor AP Chemistry.

  • Physics

    Introductory and standard physics: motion, forces, energy, waves, and basic electricity. Note that I do not tutor AP Physics.

  • Physical Science

    An 8th- and 9th-grade introduction to non-living matter and energy, including chemistry, physics, and earth and space science. Builds skills like the scientific method, measurement, and problem solving.

  • Oceanography

    Currents, tides, marine ecosystems, and coastal geology. An elective I taught for years and genuinely love.

  • Forensics

    Evidence analysis and lab technique, along with the biology and chemistry underneath all the crime-scene material. This elective was always a student favorite.

  • General middle school science

    Life, earth, and physical science for 6th- through 8th-graders. Helps build study habits and critical thinking skills for high school.

ACT Science support is available on request. I do not tutor SAT or ACT math or reading.

Why AP Biology costs more: It’s a college-level course that requires more preparation and covers more detail per unit. It also includes exam-specific strategies to help students navigate the different types of questions they’ll see.

Session bundles

If you’d like to book multiple sessions at once, you can request a 4-session, 6-session, or 8-session bundle.

  • 4-session bundle saves 5%
  • 6-session bundle saves 10%
  • 8-session bundle saves 15%

You can arrange a bundle package directly with me during a call or over email.

How sessions work

Where we meet

In person at convenient public locations around south Charlotte — SouthPark, the Arboretum, Matthews, and nearby areas — with the exact spot arranged to suit each family.

When

Monday through Thursday after school, with some morning flexibility. I don’t hold sessions on Fridays.

How long

Sessions run an hour. Longer sessions can be arranged if a student is preparing for an exam.

Payment

Payment is handled directly through Zelle, arranged after our intro call. There is no checkout on this website and no payment information is ever collected here.
