About
Hi, I'm Quintin, founder of Northfield Learning. I hold an MSc in Chemistry and have experience working in academic and industrial laboratory environments. I bring real-world scientific experience into tutoring, helping students understand not only what to learn, but why chemical concepts work.
I specialize in Grade 11 Chemistry (SCH3U), Grade 12 Chemistry (SCH4U), and first-year university chemistry, including introductory general chemistry. Sessions can focus on building foundational understanding, working through challenging problems, homework support, or preparing for tests and exams.
Based in Waterloo, Ontario, I provide online tutoring for students throughout Ontario, with in-person sessions available locally.
