About Me

My name is Brian and my greatest passions in life are teaching and learning. I was a software engineer for 20 years but my true love has always been helping students learn.

Originally from America, I graduated from the University of UCLA with a degree in Math/Computer Science. I initially started working as a software engineer developing software for military US fighter jets. I know the skills and knowledge necessary to be a successful engineer. Now I am returning to my passion for learning and helping others learn math and science.

I ensure that I create a supportive learning environment that inspires and challenges students to become life-long learners and principled global citizens. Math and science are about recognizing problems and having the skills and knowledge to understand the process to solve the problem.

In my tutoring, I assess students' strengths, weaknesses, and goals and make a plan for success.

A student on his school testimonial wrote this about me:
* taught me the importance of understanding theories and formulas instead of memorizing them. He also spent extra time on me after school for the missed material.

I would like to express my gratitude for Brian's outstanding tutoring for my daughter, Grace, in math and physics. Brian was truly wonderful; he identified Grace's weak points and targeted them first, effectively helping her build a strong foundation in both subjects. His approach made a significant difference in her confidence and understanding. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a dedicated and strategic tutor.

Teaching chemistry to school and university students in a simplified manner
Hello students! Do you find it difficult to learn science subjects, especially chemistry? This may be because chemistry contains some difficult or complex concepts or terms. If you are one of these, do not worry!! Hello and welcome to you, my students, in the right place to solve this problem through simplifying science lessons, especially chemistry. Through these lessons, we will learn together how to deal with difficult-to-understand matters and terms, because I have extensive experience extending to more than 15 years in conveying complex concepts in a clear, easy and simple way. My goal is to make science and chemistry in general and organic chemistry in particular wonderful and understandable for everyone. As a dedicated teacher, I create an interactive and stimulating learning environment for my students using the latest methods. I am ready to share my passion and guide each student towards excellence and success in the field of science and organic chemistry and in studies in general, as I work as a student advisor in an international institution. In addition, I have excellent communication and presentation skills and am patient and calm when teaching. In addition, I constantly follow up on my students' progress and regularly evaluate their understanding through continuous solution of objective questions, as I care more about understanding than memorization. On the other hand, I also maintain good follow-up with parents. My teaching approach is directed towards achieving the highest results, with a focus on helping students understand and master information. For university students or master's and doctoral students, I teach the course of natural product chemistry or phytochemistry. In this course, we will learn about the methods of extracting, separating and identifying the chemical form of active chemical compounds (biologically active secondary compounds) from natural sources, such as medicinal and aromatic plants. We will also discuss what is known as chromatography, spectroscopy devices, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and magnetic resonance analysis. In addition to knowing some important applications of these active materials in various fields, such as the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, etc. We will also learn the practical methods that are carried out in the laboratory to conduct toxicity, antioxidant and diabetes analyses, etc. Finally, "for those interested in scientific research" there is a course dedicated to knowing what scientific research is, how to choose a research point, how to write scientific research and how to find the appropriate journal for publication and everything related to this topic. Experience: About 20 years of practical experience in the field of chemistry, medicinal and aromatic plants and pharmacy with parallel training and private lessons for chemistry curricula. With my qualifications and experiences, as I hold a master's degree and a doctorate in organic chemistry (chemistry of natural products), in addition to other postgraduate certificates and a doctoral scholarship in pharmaceutical sciences in Belgium from the Erasmus Mundus organization affiliated with the European Union.
