MC P.

4 Chemistry lessons

We wanted my daughter to enjoy learning chemistry and to think of her career in chemistry or chemistry-related area. In her first semester of chemistry class, she was doing well and she had confidence in her chemistry. But my daughter was having difficulties in her 2nd semester chemistry class. We could see that she was losing interest in chemistry and about to give it up. We wanted to find someone who can help her re-ignite her interest in chemistry.
Yanni K.

28 Chemistry lessons

Dr. James clearly has a passion for teaching, and he will make sure that you do your best in chemistry! I personally used Dr. James for organic chemistry II tutoring after not taking a chemistry class in 4 semesters. My exam scores were ~30 points above the class average, and this could not have happened without his help- chemistry does not come easily to me, and I have always struggled with it. Also, he can even help you with lab; he is a master at proton NMR!
Adam S.

5 Chemistry lessons

I was struggling to understand and follow my Chemistry professor, trying to do stoichiometry problems, molecular geometries, etc, but he made things very easy by explaining in simple terms. Chemistry wasn’t my favorite in the beginning, but with his sessions, I started gaining much greater understanding of chemistry which enabled me to do many chemistry problems by myself, after working on chemistry practice problems with Dr. Wike. Highly recommend him!
