About
Hello,
I have a PhD from the University of Wales and a BSc (first class with honors) from Open University (UK) in chemistry. I have been teaching chemistry at high school and at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand for 15 years so I have lots of experience teaching at all levels.
I am friendly, accessible, and always willing to help. I can answer specific questions or teach in-depth topics as you need, and can help with HW, general study, exam prep, essay writing, or in preparing a manuscript for publication.
In class, I am relaxed. I prefer to mix with my students, where I can best help them. Teaching is not lecturing, so I really aim for students to gain UNDERSTANDING and not to just memorize facts.
Online, I have many resources that can help with communicating ideas.
PhD, University of Wales,
BSc Open University, UK,
Dipl. Ed, Ramkamheng University, Bangkok.
For upper high school, I use CHEMISTRY by Chang and Goldsby (McGraw Hill)
If you have a preferred text, I probably have it, so ask and we can arrange something.
For many topics, I create my own materials and support these items with readings from a text book
