Very patient and understanding
Brenda, 7 lessons with MikeMike and I are working together on O Chem - I plan to keep working with him until the end of my quarter. He is very good at explaining things and patient when I get something wrong or make a mistake. All part of learning! I made it through 2 quarters of O Chem, struggled by with grades of a C and C-. The third quarter I completely failed. I was so upset, couldn’t progress with that on my transcript and immediately started tutoring with Mike. With his help I passed the last quarter with a B+,...
I have a B.S. in Chemistry from Cal Poly (SLO), and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech, Pasadena). I currently work for a start-up pharmaceutical company making organic molecules that are tested against several central nervous system (CNS) diseases.
To understand and master Organic Chemistry, it is not about memorization, it's about understanding fundamental properties of atoms, which allows one to then understand why some species react one...

Very patient and understanding
Mike and I are working together on O Chem - I plan to keep working with him until the end of my quarter. He is very good at explaining things and patient when I get something wrong or make a mistake. All part of learning! I made it through 2 quarters of O Chem, struggled by with grades of a C and C-. The third quarter I completely failed. I was so upset, couldn’t progress with that on my transcript and immediately started tutoring with Mike. With his help I passed the last quarter with a B+, that is a huge difference - especially for someone like myself who has always struggled with Chemistry. Highly recommend him!

Amazing OChem tutor
I would not have made it through chem 33 at Stanford if it were not for Mike's help! He is incredibly talented at explaining the material in a clear and concise way and always willing and able to help with problems sets or studying for exams. I am so glad and grateful for his help and would strongly recommend him for anyone who is struggling for organic chemistry!

Great tutor with excellent explanations!
Mike has an excellent background on organic chemistry and has been able to clarify not only the general concepts, but the more detailed points within them. His tutoring has been a great help in my comprehension of organic chemistry, and I highly recommend him as a tutor to others.

So glad I found him!
I could not have found a more perfect tutor for organic chemistry. Mike's enthusiasm is infectious! Each session made me increasingly interested in the subject. His intuition often saved me the need to explain what I was struggling with. He made it a point to teach at the level I was at, gradually building my understanding and made great efforts in doing so. Patient and funny, but professional. I have him to thank for my A!

Great Experience!
Mike was a wonderful tutor - very invested in making sure I understood the concepts and did well in the class. Mike often stayed late and was very flexible with the timings of tutoring. He brought enthusiasm and patience to the sessions and made a great effort to help me learn new and challenging material. I highly recommend him as a tutor.
