Hi there, I'm Shawn

I started by Chemistry journey back in 2007 when I was studying with other freshmen in college at Drexel. I remember helping my roomates in the common areas on the whiteboard as we prepared for our first year Chemistry exams.

Bio

I started tutoring students as a freshmen at Drexel in 2007. I graduated from Drexel University in 2011 with a major in Chemistry Education and obtained my Chemistry teaching certificate in Pennsylvania before moving and becoming a certified chemistry teacher in Delaware. I am currently teaching Chemistry 1 and AP Chemistry at Odessa High School in Townsend, DE as well as coaching wrestling. I live in Townsend with my wife and 4 children. I have taught high school chemistry and physical science in West Philadelphia and tutored students at Universities like Saint Josephs, Villanova, and Drexel University. My students have had a 100 percent pass rate in AP Chemistry since we started the AP program in 2022. 7 out of 14 students in the 23-24 school year earned a 5 on the exam. We beat the state and global scores by over an entire point on the exam. I am highly motivated and enjoy teaching science.
