I'm Maddy, and I'm here to help you actually understand chemistry, physics, and math — not just memorize formulas.
With over 4 years of teaching experience, I've worked with students of all levels, from younger learners exploring STEM to high school and university-level students tackling complex concepts. I know how frustrating it can feel when something doesn't click, and I love that moment when it finally does.
My approach is simple: I break down intimidating topics into clear, understandable pieces. Whether you're struggling with stoichiometry, struggling to visualize physics concepts, or trying to master algebra, I tailor my explanations to how you learn best. Some students are visual learners, others need step-by-step logic, and some learn through examples, I adapt to you.
I'm currently pursuing my Ph.D. in chemistry, which means I have deep expertise in these subjects. But more importantly, I genuinely enjoy teaching and watching students build real confidence.
Let's work together to turn confusion into clarity. Book a trial lesson and let's get started!
