Hey there! The name’s Gary, and I’m your go-to chemistry guru. I snagged a Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Santa Cruz back when electric cars were children’s toys, then rocked the scene as a tenured chemistry professor at De Anza College for a solid 15 years. Yep, I’ve been stirring up exothermic knowledge for a whopping 30 years now. Currently, I’m hanging out at West Valley College, but I’ve done my rounds, popping up at Santa Clara University, UC Santa Cruz, San Jose State, Cabrillo College, San Jose City College, and Mission College.
Now, here’s where it gets fun. Alongside my college gigs, I’ve been moonlighting as a high school chemistry whisperer since 2011. Whether it’s regular Chemistry or Chemistry Honors or just helping kids survive AP Chemistry and ace the AP exam, I’m there. Oh, and let’s not forget my one-on-one tutoring escapades at Insight—I’ve tackled every level of chemistry, from basic reactions to Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry for those brave Middle College souls.
But hey, teaching’s not just about throwing facts at you—it’s about keeping things lively. That’s why I sprinkle in humor and storytelling to keep you hooked and learning every step of the way. So buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a wild ride through the world of chemistry!
