I love teaching students chemistry and organic chemistry. At UCLA, I took the physical science/engineering series for organic chemistry (Chem30A/B/C) and was an undergraduate teaching assistant for an organic chemistry class for Dr. Hung Pham.

Hi, I'm Wesley and graduated Magna Cum Laude with Department Honors in Biochemistry (3.9 GPA) from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I love teaching students chemistry and organic chemistry. At UCLA, I took the physical science/engineering series for organic chemistry (Chem30A/B/C) and was an undergraduate teaching assistant for an organic chemistry class for Dr. Hung Pham. I received the Hosmer Stone Award in April 2019 for best academic performance in organic and general chemistry at UCLA for the class of 2021.

I am a patient tutor and am willing to spend as much time as possible for you to understand class material. Other than tutoring organic chemistry, I also have experience in with ACT and SAT exams. I was able to score a 35 on the ACT and a 2150 on the SAT. I also scored a 163/161/6.0 on the GRE. When I was applying to college, I was accepted to UCLA, UC Berkeley, NYU, UC Davis, UCSD, and UCSB. If you have any questions about about me, applying to college, or UCLA in general, I would be happy to answer you guys with my personal opinions and experiences. :)

Absolutely AMAZING tutor!

He was extremely thorough, and went over every little part of each practice problem with such detail but made it all flow together which I could understand it! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! You won’t regret booking a session especially if you are in need of organic chemistry help! :)

Great for older people!

Times have definitely changed! I last took a Chemistry class in the mid-90s, so I will admit to being apprehensive when dipping my proverbial toe back into this pond. Wesley was able to break down the concepts for me into practical parts and checked in to ensure there was understanding. Many tutors will monologue throughout the lesson, but Wesley took the time and didn't make me feel terrible about being behind. The patience that was shown, along with the gentle teaching, made me feel more confident in my Chemistry lectures. His availability also mirrors real life: not everything happens between 0800 and 1700! I appreciate knowing that I can set up an evening or weekend session! I highly recommend Wesley as a tutor, especially if you're like me, returning to chemistry classes after decades of absence.
