Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/1639187977338-6GZOSTZWBZWZHUTJXM4D/unsplash-image-XtXdHH-Ib7c.jpg About Dr. Casey - Make it stand out Skill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/1639187745775-DVYUIN84QXWTC1P10ROD/unsplash-image-H7I5LCBWOjQ.jpg About Dr. Casey - Make it stand out Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/1639187869204-ABHCOHQYEDYECXDLHZ65/unsplash-image-a9hsdy18oLQ.jpg About Dr. Casey - Make it stand out Experience https://growingmindspdx.com/book-a-class daily 0.75 2021-12-11 https://growingmindspdx.com/home daily 1.0 2022-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/a6d4b2b3-d489-4ee5-9e53-f35bfa122114/unsplash-image-v7ibB19EUbQ.jpg Home - PhD in Chemistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/ebce3ae9-e8c1-4707-8d15-8897b48a0cb2/unsplash-image-o61pS7LmdYU.jpg Home - Alumnus of Prestigious Institutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/1bbeb8c0-f238-45e8-ac76-c5224889dd00/unsplash-image-UgA3Xvi3SkA.jpg Home - Trained Educator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/7f723c75-6de2-46c5-aeab-9907da3a8052/unsplash-image-F8t2VGnI47I.jpg Home - 8 Years College Professor Experience https://growingmindspdx.com/subjects daily 0.75 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/b9afa08b-9eef-40cd-9650-ce253bd34373/Screen+Shot+2021-12-10+at+6.21.33+PM.png Subjects Tutored - Organic Chemistry I love tutoring Organic Chemistry! I can help you find the underlying concepts that drive even the most complicated reaction mechanisms. It’s true you’ll need to memorize some of the basics, but I can share mnemonics (memory joggers) that have helped my students for over a decade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/c295f743-cec5-4bc1-a433-27b5156bae8e/Screen+Shot+2021-12-10+at+6.16.57+PM.png Subjects Tutored - Chemistry (AP Chem too) I can help with every topic you’ll run into in general or AP Chemistry. From unit conversions to balancing redox reactions and visualizing stereochemistry, I’ve got you covered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/1639190890453-3JJD338H7WRCPD41NK2Q/unsplash-image-05A-kdOH6Hw.jpg Subjects Tutored - Mathematics: Word Problems, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus I can help you organize your thoughts when approaching a problem to figure out what you already know, determine what the questions is asking, and then develop an efficient plan to solve it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6049b99c8bd47b36f49f1c4f/1639190966843-9H9CWW6G49BC3OVM66VU/unsplash-image-qDgTQOYk6B8.jpg Subjects Tutored - Test Preparation I secretly enjoy taking standardized tests and I can help you prepare for the SAT and ACT.
