Learning and Support Questions
1. Do you only tutor organic chemistry?
I specialize in tutoring both semesters of college-level organic chemistry (Org I and Org II), and I also offer prep for the organic chemistry section of the DAT.
2. What is included in a one-on-one tutoring session?
Each session includes personalized notes from our meeting, a recording of the lesson for review, and supplemental practice problems, guides and resources tailored to your specific learning needs.
3. Do you help with lab reports or pre-lab/post-lab assignments?
My focus is on lecture material, but I can assist with lab work on a case-by-case basis—particularly if it involves spectroscopy or ties directly to lecture content.
4. Do you help with practice exams, tests, or quizzes?
To maintain academic integrity, I do not assist with graded exams, quizzes, or take-home tests. However, I’m happy to review practice exams once an answer key has been released.
