Christophe G.
My name is Christophe. I have a double master in General Chemistry (Université Pierre et Marie Curie) and Chemical Engineering (Chimie-Paris), and a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from Cornell University. I was a lecturer at Cornell University for two years before starting a career in chemical research in the Fragrance and Flavor industry. I am the author of multiple peer-reviewed articles and patents and I have likely designed many consumer products that you are using in your everyday life. In 2023, I moved to Miami and I decided to go back to teaching. I am currently an adjunct professor at Miami-Dade College, where I teach freshman chemistry, and a high school teacher at the True North Classical Academy, where I teach AP Chemistry and AP Physics. I am an AP reader for AP Chemistry and an AP consultant for Collegeboard.
My passion for chemistry is contagious and I captivate my students into the subject. Thanks to my extensive background I can illustrate chemical principles with multiple examples from our everyday life. To stamp knowledge on a concept, I can easily improvise some quick exercises that complement a student’s homework. I like to teach science in a logical and systematic manner. I am more interested in a student’s understanding of the process to find the correct answer than the answer itself. I am looking forward to working wit you and your student to bring them back on track and eventually excel.
