Emilio’s students have a track record of extremely high scores on the AP Chemistry test, the SAT Chemistry Subject test, and on the chemistry and organic chemistry portions of the MCAT. Emilio is our expert in all levels of organic and inorganic chemistry. He earned a B.S. in chemistry from MIT and an M.S. in organic chemistry from UC Irvine before working as a medicinal chemist at SmithKline Beacham developing potential medications for AIDS. Discovering that teaching was his true calling, Emilio worked as the AP chemistry & honors chemistry teacher at both The Baldwin School and The Haverford School. Class time is devoted to (A) review official practice tests, and (B) learn how to solve the hardest problems that are minimally, if at all, covered in enough detail in even the best chemistry class at the best high school. Highlighted concepts include advanced atomic and molecular structure, equilibrium, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics. Students are expected to complete targeted concept packets plus a full practice test outside of class time.

Dr. Susan Dorfman holds a Ph.D. in Anatomy from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and a BA in Biology from Temple University. After completing two post-doctoral fellowships in neurology at UPenn Medical School and working eleven years in a research lab, Susan became a teacher at the pre-college level in the independent school system. She has taught all levels of general science and biology from Kindergarten Science to Gross Anatomy in Dental School. Susan taught biology and Advanced Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Baldwin School for twenty-six years and also served as head of the science department for six years. She has been a private tutor for 20 years on the main line for students in both public and independent schools, tutoring high school level biology as well as prep for the SAT II in Biology, the AP Biology Exam and the Biology portion of the MCAT and DAT.
