Laura R.

Private tutor in Wilmington, NC

Education

I hold a Master of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My graduate work was completed in a biophysical chemistry laboratory. My undergraduate degree is from Agnes Scott College, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. I spent time studying in Japan while in undergrad, at Temple University Japan and Kinjo Gakuin University. I completed additional work in science at UNC Asheville prior to matriculating for my graduate degree at UNC Chapel Hill.

Experience

Hello! I would be delighted to work with you to improve your chemistry abilities. Under my maiden name (Laura Benton), I taught General Chemistry (Chem 101 and 102) and Biochemistry (Chem 430) at UNC Chapel Hill for five years after receiving my master's degree. Additionally, I have experience teaching lab courses at the collegiate level in general chemistry, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. While a professor, I also tutored high school students in regular and honors chemistry. After getting married last year, I moved to this area with my husband, and now am teaching science at the Friends School of Wilmington. While I enjoy my current position, chemistry is my all-time favorite subject to teach, and I really miss instructing students at the high school and university level. If you are interested in improving your skills at any level of chemistry, from introductory high school chemistry material to university-level biochemistry, I would love to work with you!

Hobbies

My husband and I enjoy sea kayaking, and the proximity to the coast is one of the main reasons we moved to this area. We are also sports fans, and we enjoy watching football (especially the Panthers and the Vikings), and of course, we are wild about UNC basketball! Don't worry, Duke fans, I won't hold it against you!
