Mr. Chan holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry from Northwestern University and a Master of Arts in Teaching from National-Louis University. When he's not in the Chemistry lab, Mr. Chan can be found on the basketball court as an assistant coach for the ETHS Girls' Varsity team, behind his computer as an instructor with CTD's Learning Links program, or on the couch watching his beloved Cubs struggle through yet another losing season. This is Mr. Chan's first experience teaching with NLU.
