Dr. Gordon Chiu

Dr. Gordon Chiu actively tutors in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math and ACT/SAT.

Gordon was born in New York and grew up in northern New Jersey. He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute summa cum laude in Chemistry. For his Master’s in Chemistry, while working full-time at Merck, he traded the opportunity for a multi-year program at Columbia University for a three semester program at Seton Hall University. He didn't have to pay the bridge tolls or get stuck in traffic! None of this mattered much after he got a full scholarship from the National Institutes of Health for an MD/PhD program. He focused on dermatology research. Four years later, Gordon got another two scholarships and formally completed a doctoral degree in Natural medicine and a doctorate in business. Right after school, Gordon was chosen as "doctor" for numerous skincare brands including representing Demi Moore's skincare event in Asia.

Today, Gordon is the husband of an amazing wife and father of 2 girls.

Gordon is a prolific inventor with over 27 filed patents during his tenure in the corporate world. Ultimately, though, he decided to ditch the trappings of corporate America in order to spend more time teaching and motivating youth to discover their passions and pursue them with the same kinds of successes he has had– an experience he finds more rewarding, dynamic, and even, at times, more challenging than figuring out the material science, chemical, and medical applications of graphene.

He has over fifteen years of combined, in-depth, university school relationships (ranging from Berkeley, Cornell, MIT, and Northwestern to National University of Singapore, NYU, Rutgers, and Waterloo). He has also taught at the EF Academy and Horace Mann. He has appeared on two TEDx public speaking events on the topics of outer spaceouterspace materials and on education. He has been featured on Princeton TV as a super-tutor.

Gordon graduated Harvard Business School's business analytics with highest distinction on September 25, 2022, and Wharton Advanced Management October 21, 2022.

When not tutoring with families, you can find Gordon and his family hiking through Yellowstone National Park – he recommends trying it out in each of the different seasons as each season grants its own special character and challenges.
