Get to know Jordie
|
I graduated from Grinnell College in 2016 with a bachelors in Chemistry. At Grinnell, I served as a TA for both organic I and II and held small-group tutor sessions for struggling students through our Science Learning Center. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and was recognized by the American Chemical Society, receiving the Division of Organic Chemistry Award for the Most Outstanding Senior Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Student. I went on to complete my Masters in Organic Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, where I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and served as a TA under several professors. I was recognized for my devotion to teaching when I was awarded the Penn Teaching Award. I began private one-on-one tutoring for Penn students in both organic I and II and have spent hundreds of hours tutoring dozens of students over the past several years. While I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry, teaching is my true passion.I love working with students to help them learn how to overcome barriers to their success in this very difficult, but often required course. |
