Mattia A.

8 lessons

After getting Tom, my grades leapt from B's to A's by the end of the semester. Tom was able to patiently walk me through synthesis problems and point out what I was doing incorrectly. He helped me figure out my weak spots in organic chemistry and got me from the path to memorizing steps to understanding how to use the tools I was taught in organic chemistry to see the bigger picture of the problems. I was able to maintain A's in a very difficult class thanks to Tom.

James readily took on this challenge and we were able to successfully cover necessary Organic Chemistry concepts in about a month. He was quickly able to gear our lessons efficiently and effectively towards my gaps and guided me on the right path. Without James, I would have been very hesitant to go into Organic Chemistry II alone. I look forward to having him as my tutor moving forward in the series.
Albert N.

1 lesson

With Raghu's help, I improved impressively and ended up getting A for class. If you care about the quality of your tutoring that yields the most efficient return on your investment (time, money) then Raghu is the man to go with. This is the guy who loves Organic Chemistry and who is thrilled with enthusiasm to solve the dreaded Organic Chemistry II problem sets. Amazing! I can't thank you enough for your help Raghu !
