I was lost. Chemistry was a foreign language to me. I never took it in high school so the other students were more advanced than I was, being younger and fresh out of school. My instructor would call on me to answer a question and all I could do is drop my head in silence. Now that has all changed since I met Taylor. She really takes time to make sure you understand what you are reading. Pick her, she is the one you need.

Bob took me through a beginners Java assignment that literally felt like a foreign language until he broke it down. He did an excellent job of explaining what we were doing step by step, and very patiently went over it again if I was still confused. He even took the time to introduce valuable resources. He also has a way about him that makes you feel comfortable, which is really important to me in a learning environment. He will certainly be my go to!

I am a sophomore at SFSU and if it wasn't for Martin I would have failed my calculus class. I had the worst teacher, who didn't explain the material and he barely spoke English, which made it even more difficult. I was basically trying to teach myself calculus. I was sure I was going to fail, but then I discovered Martin. We only met a handful of times, but in those few sessions, he taught me an entire semester of calc. Its like he taught me a foreign language.
