About Dan
I obtained my PhD in organic chemistry at the University of Alberta specializing in the chemical synthesis of novel peptides in 2022. I subsequently completed a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia between 2022 and 2024, and am now the proud author of 5 papers published in high impact chemistry/biochemistry journals. Since coming back to Alberta, I’ve worked one year in the chemical industry and am thrilled to be supporting the next wave of developing professionals through tutoring.

Dan an I met at work and briefly collaborated in a laboratory synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds, giving me firsthand insight into his technical skill and work ethic. He is friendly, clear, patient, and very good at breaking down complex chemistry concepts into something intuitive and manageable. He adapts his explanations to the person’s level and focuses on real understanding rather than rote memorization.
I’m genuinely glad for Dan that he decided to start his tutoring business, and I warmly recommend him to anyone looking to seriously improve their chemistry skills!Dan and me were coworkers at the Australian National University during his postdoctoral fellowships in one of the most prestigious local research groups chemistry. Apart from delivering outstanding scientific research, Dan is an excellent speaker—his engaging, clear, easy to follow, witty and entertaining presentations kept his audiences fully immersed in the presentation topic. Dan was also know in the School for his passion in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Amongst others, he delivered undergraduate and graduate lectures and tutorials, individual exam prep sessions and supervised students in the lab (from very junior to PhD level). I would receive raving reviews from students about Dan’s relentless help and his kind personality. In summary, fantastic lecturer, kind hearted and passionate about science. Genuinely wants to see people succeed! 5/5 stars
