ABOUT DR. REID
Brian Reid earned a PhD in chemistry from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2000. His academic research varied from the use of atomic force microscopy to study abnormal structures in Alzheimer's disease brains to the design of novel polymer composite membranes for gas separations.

Before starting Thinking Reeds, Dr. Reid developed advanced Deep-UV microlithography processes for seven years at Texas Instruments.
Dr. Reid has taught freshman chemistry at Collin College in Plano, TX, since 2005. He has taught high school chemistry at various local homeschool co-ops, spoken before several homeschool support groups, and tutored innumerable students on an individual basis. Dr. Reid is extremely passionate about making the difficult concepts of science accessible to everyone without sacrificing rigor.

Anonymous reviews of Dr. Reid via ratemyprofessors.com...
"Great professor, chemistry is not an easy class, but he does a good job at teaching the chemistry concepts. Probably the best chem professor there is a Collin. Highly recommend taking Dr. Reid."
"Absolutely best professor. I was apprehensive about chemistry. Especially since I was taking Summer 1/2 and was to finish Chem 1/2 in 10 weeks. I flat out would not have been able to survive without his help. He didn't just help 'push' me through but I have a solid foundation of understanding. I wish he would teach all the higher level sciences."
"One word. Amazing."
"Dr. Reid is awesome for gen chem 1! Laid back, but a great lecturer. Tests are not difficult, but you should study for the final. Book is useful to do practice problems to prep for exams. Reid is patient and will help you until you understand the material-a quality that most teachers don't have. He really knows his stuff and teaches to the point!"
