About Andrew


Bio

Hi I'm Andrew! I graduated cum laude at UC Davis in 2016 with a major in Chemistry. I had arrived at Davis as an engineer but switched to chemistry because organic chemistry was easily my favorite class! I had done research and been published as an undergraduate with plans of pursuing a PhD. I was part of a PhD program at UCLA where I realized research wasn't for me. However, as a graduate student, part of my responsibilities was to be a teaching assistant (TA). It was here that I developed...

Hi I'm Andrew! I graduated cum laude at UC Davis in 2016 with a major in Chemistry. I had arrived at Davis as an engineer but switched to chemistry because organic chemistry was easily my favorite class! I had done research and been published as an undergraduate with plans of pursuing a PhD. I was part of a PhD program at UCLA where I realized research wasn't for me. However, as a graduate student, part of my responsibilities was to be a teaching assistant (TA). It was here that I developed an appreciation for teaching and an understanding of where students might struggle, especially when their professor has a style of teaching that does not suit them. I really gained a passion for teaching organic chemistry as a TA and hope to continue to do so as a tutor.

As a TA at UCLA, I taught a number of classes through my first two years. I taught five quarters of organic chemistry and three quarters of advanced lab courses. The students in those classes were usually sophomores and juniors with chemistry or biochemistry majors. The level of knowledge was varied, from junior college transfers who had already taken some organic chemistry to pre-med students who just wanted enough to pass the MCAT. As for my own knowledge, apart from teaching organic chemistry, I took these same courses as an undergraduate, took advanced versions of these course as a graduate student at UCLA, and then took the advanced courses again when obtaining my Master's degree in Chemistry from Ohio University.

With this knowledge and experience I really hope to help students achieve their goals in organic chemistry and be that resource that helps them be confident going into the final, MCAT, ect. I have a relatively flexible schedule and will try to fit into yours as much as possible. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!

very patient and extremely helpful at explaining

I worked with Andrew for my upcoming orgo 1 exam he went over all the material I sent him an gave me an overview on the hardest topic covered. After we went over questions I had and took me step by step what to do. He taught me tricks and tips on what to look out for and showed me exceptions on some of the topics learned. I can’t praise him enough!! He was so thorough and patient! Would definitely recommend to anyone and I will be asking him for more help on my final and into orgo 2 :))

EXCELLENT!

Andrew is an AMAZING tutor and was able to break down complex topics and explain them to me in a very simple way. He was very friendly and patient when I didn’t understand something. He is the best tutor I’ve worked with and I will only be coming to him from now on!

Excellent teacher

Andrew was excellent to work with. Went through each problem meticulously and made sure to answer all of my questions thoroughly. He helped me understand concepts I have been struggling with all quarter. Feeling much more confident approaching my final exam. So grateful!

Unbelievably Talented and Sharp!

Andrew is an unbelievably talented and intellectually sharp tutor. I worked with Andrew ahead of a comprehensive exam in an accelerated organic chemistry course, and he effectively answered all my questions, breaking complex topics and reaction mechanisms into understandable sequences. I found Andrew’s deep knowledge of organic chemistry the most reassuring—he can clearly explain the underlying reasons behind phenomena observed in organic chemistry, which helped me to extrapolate concepts beyond a single problem type. Finally, Andrew exhibited a patient demeanor, of which I was very appreciative; he was willing to explain concepts more than once and in different ways until I understood them. I highly recommend Andrew as an organic chemistry tutor.

Great Tutor

Andrew has been a huge help in studying OChem over the summer, it’s known as a hard class and taking it in 6 weeks makes it even tougher but by going over the materials again with Andrew and walking though problems with him I have been much more successful than I anticipated and it makes the workload much less stressful. 5/5 easily recommend

patient, thorough teacher

Andrew helped me learn so much in just 1.5hrs! We went over material from previous exams and I definitely feel that I can grasp the concepts I missed thanks to his explanations. Andrew is really patient and cares about helping students understand what they missed. Thank you Andrew!

Good understanding

Andrew is a great tutor who understands you and will explain things until you understand the problems you are having so you can do them yourself

Deandre, 3 lessons with Andrew

good understanding

At the start I had very very little understanding of the concepts, but I now have a nice grasp on how to do the various things we covered. He was very patient with me so overall it was a great session
