Andrew D.

Andrew has been a dedicated and passionate classroom teacher for 25 years and an effective, engaging tutor since his early undergraduate days over 30 years ago.
After completing a master’s degree in mathematics at Indiana University, he moved to New Orleans, a city he had grown greatly fond of through many visits in his college years. He is a dedicated husband and father of two daughters, and maintains strong interests in jazz music, hiking in mountainous lands (when he can get to them!), and making real “fermented” pro-biotic pickles.
He has always found great joy in mathematics from his earliest memory, looking forward each night to discussing childhood math topics with his mother, who instilled in him a goal to always treat math as an entertaining puzzle to solve for its own pleasure and intrigue, not something to be dreaded.
Andrew is enthusiastic to work with students at all levels, from middle school up through early college undergraduates. Among his strengths are demonstrating myriad pathways to address most any math question, explaining the “why” behind common formulas and patterns that are often left to simple robotic-memorization, and striving to help students to avoid the many common pitfalls and errors in any process or technique. He is an extremely detail-oriented and expert instructor, but strives always to show the inherent “fun” of succeeding at math, especially for those who have had histories of struggle and dislike of the topic.

Keegan B.

Keegan is an accomplished scientist, university instructor, and STEM educator who is passionate about helping students develop confidence and genuine understanding in challenging math and science courses. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization at Texas State University, where his doctoral research focuses on advanced materials and catalysts used in electrochemical energy technologies.

Keegan also earned both his Master of Science in Chemistry and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Texas State University, along with a minor in Biology. His master’s research focused on the synthesis and characterization of iridium-titanium oxide materials for use as catalysts in water electrolyzers and fuel-cell technologies. His academic accomplishments include being named Outstanding Chemistry Graduate Student in 2024 and earning recognition as an ACS Certified Researcher.

Teaching has become an important part of Keegan’s academic career. For more than three years, he served as a Graduate Instructional Assistant at Texas State, teaching undergraduate chemistry laboratory students the scientific principles behind their experiments, helping them troubleshoot problems, answering questions, and evaluating their laboratory work. He has also mentored undergraduate and master’s students in scientific research, teaching advanced experimental techniques and helping developing scientists become more confident and independent in the laboratory.

Keegan specializes in Chemistry, AP Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Algebra I & II, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Statistics. His particularly deep expertise in chemistry makes him an excellent resource for students ranging from those encountering chemistry for the first time to advanced high school and college students tackling increasingly complex coursework.

One of Keegan’s greatest strengths is his ability to connect classroom concepts to real scientific applications. His research involves sophisticated areas of chemistry and materials science, including electrochemistry, catalyst development, spectroscopy, microscopy, and materials characterization. He has presented his research at professional scientific meetings and conferences around the country, giving him firsthand experience applying the concepts students encounter in chemistry, physics, and mathematics to important real-world scientific problems.

Despite his advanced scientific background, Keegan believes effective tutoring begins with meeting students at their current level. He focuses on building strong relationships and creating an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and admitting when something doesn’t make sense. Rather than encouraging students to memorize formulas or procedures, he helps them understand the underlying principles so they can approach unfamiliar problems with greater confidence.

Families appreciate Keegan’s patient, thoughtful approach and his ability to break complicated STEM concepts into manageable steps. Whether he is helping a student establish a stronger foundation in Algebra, preparing for AP Chemistry, working through Organic Chemistry, or tackling college-level science, his goal is to help students become stronger problem-solvers and increasingly independent learners.

Outside of teaching and research, Keegan enjoys rock climbing, hiking, and playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends. His combination of scientific curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity carries naturally into his teaching and helps him connect with students who may initially find STEM subjects intimidating.
