Chemistry Tutoring with Shawn

My Chemistry Story

My fascination with chemistry started back in 10th-grade, when a standout teacher showed me how a few simple experiments could explain so many cool things about the world around us.

That spark grew into a habit of helping friends after school, and by freshman year at Drexel, I was the guy filling a dorm-lounge whiteboard the night before every general-chem exam.

My Credentials

B.S. Chemistry Education — Drexel University, 2011

M.Ed. Teaching Education — Cabrini University, 2016

Certified Chemistry Teacher — Pennsylvania & Delaware

Stepping into Worldwide Tutoring

I began paid tutoring at Drexel’s Learning Center in 2007 and joined Wyzant in 2013 for in-person sessions.

Since then I have:

Taught high-school chemistry and physical science in West Philadelphia.

Guided undergrads at Saint Joseph’s, Villanova, and my own alma mater.

Moved my practice online, working with students in NY, PA, NJ, CA, AZ, and GA — and growing.

Led Chemistry 1 and AP Chemistry at Odessa High School in Townsend, Delaware, where I also coach wrestling.

How I Teach

Chemistry is a series of stories, not a stack of formulas. I start with the big picture — electron clouds, energy changes — then bring in the math later. You’ll solve a problem with me, tackle the next one solo, and leave each session with clear steps for practicing you new skills.

Results I’m Proud Of

Since launching our AP program in 2022, every student I’ve coached has passed, and 7 of 14 earned a 5 last year — beating state and global averages by more than a full point.

No one has ever scored below a 3.

What Sets My Tutoring Apart

I’m a licensed teacher, not just a grad student.

17+ years of tutoring experience across high-school through organic chemistry.

Flexible hours—8 AM – 10 PM ET, seven days a week

Small-group option when you and a classmate want to team up for a lower rate.

Great Tutor – Flexible and Easy to Contact

Shawn has been a great help in our daughter’s Chemistry studies. He explains things clearly, even when the material is tough. Thanks to Shawn, she believes she can handle Chemistry now. He’s also incredibly flexible with our ever-changing schedule — and even says hi to our dog!
