Kevin N.

Private tutor in Somerville, MA

Education

I am currently in a postdoctoral position at MIT, studying atmospheric chemistry. I got my PhD from the University of Chicago in 2017, studying physical chemistry (specifically: properties of materials using atomic and molecular beam scattering). I graduated from Boston College in 2011 with a BS in chemistry (with honors) and a mathematics minor. While there, I did research in climate change and looked at the effect hydrocarbons on the ozone layer.

Experience

I've been a TA in general chemistry at UChicago for four years, during which time I've won multiple teaching awards and recognitions. I've run weekly public tutoring sessions for drop-in students, and have privately tutored several high-school and college chemistry students. In addition, I am the president and content creator for Knowvio, which creates study-aid apps for such subjects as chemistry, physics, and biology. I created Chemistry X, which is a great study aid for students in high school and college-level general chemistry.

Hobbies

I love reading about pop science and incorporating it into my teaching. Students often don't realize that some of the most simple things they learn in chemistry can immediately open them up to understanding groundbreaking research and some of the biggest technological advances that they hear about in the news. The same thing goes for my love of books, movies, and TV - giving students something to associate with their studies can be really helpful in engaging their attention, interest, and retention!
