Experience
ChemCoach Website URL: www.ChemCoach.net Hello! My name is Donovan Dowers, ChemCoach Founder & Lead Tutor. For the past 6 years, ChemCoach has helped students turn their breakdowns into breakthroughs. When I was an undergraduate freshman student at BU, I truly STRUGGLED to find study methods that would get me top scores in the highly competitive and difficult pre-medical courses. Instead of selling out and choosing an easier path, I learned to work smarter, not harder—spending less time studying for better results! Adding these new strategies to my toolbox, I blazed ahead full force and never looked back. The results I achieved landed me on the Dean's list junior and senior year. After college, I completed a Master's degree and then applied and was accepted to three well-known U.S. allopathic medical schools (MD and MD-MPH programs). Literally, ANYTHING you want for yourself or for your life is available to you with the right mindset and hard work—and that is why creating breakthroughs for students is a passion of mine. I am here to help you achieve any dream you may have regardless of how impossible it seems right now. I have worked with students of all ages, majors, and proficiencies and am an expert in helping you find your path to success. In addition to my coaching experience, I have also completed university-level education course work in teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses) subjects. Just like an Olympic athlete needs a coach to achieve high performance and go for the gold, the same is true for students who want the "A" on their transcript and/or acceptances to med school! My staff and I are not just tutors, we're coaches! Our coaches are highly trained in making a quantifiable difference in student performance: - Creating effective study habits and routines - Learning AND retaining difficult math and science material quickly - Exam taking skills - Helping students break free from memorization-based learning and instead practice highly-effective, concept-based learning - Writing powerful personal statements for grad/professional school applications - Workshopping graduate/professional school applications - Helping students find lifestyle balance amidst their busy academic schedule Get in touch with us today to book your first tutoring session!

Hobbies
I love living in Miami with my partner and dog (Pepper) and two cats (Hammy and Nacho). When I am not studying for medical school exams or running my tutoring business, you would find me at the relaxing at the beach, cooking up a new recipe, or facetiming my friends and family!
