Experience
Tutoring
I have worked as a private and part time employed tutor since 2020. If I could, I would Teach at a formal institute, as I really enjoy teaching as much as I enjoy learning. Subjects I Teach include: University; mathematics, physics and chemistry, and Highschool; math and physical science. This includes letters of reference from past clients.
Lab work
I have Laboratory Experience In may synthesis and procedures; e.g., in saponification, nitrating, synthesis of aspirin and extraction of caffeine from tea. I have Also Funded and conducted my own experiments and synthesis, for the following:
-
solvated electrons experiment and condensation of ammonia
-
teaching titrations to students
-
Nitrating of cellulose, to make nitrocellulose
-
saponification to make soap, and
-
fractional distillation of mixed hydrocarbons.
