With 7,000+ hours taught on Wyzant, a perfect 5.0-star rating from 3,276+ reviews, and 5+ years of one-on-one/group tutoring (online/in-person), I've helped premed students convert weak grades to A's, master Orgo semesters, and raise MCAT scores for med, dental, and vet school acceptances.
Background:

B.S. Chemistry, Frostburg State University: A's in Organic Chemistry I & II (top of class), Biochemistry I, General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biology (highest course grade), Physics sequences.
Undergrad Organic Chemistry TA for 3 years—led twice-weekly group sessions, guiding premed peers through mechanisms and reactions.
Former President, math honors society (KME)—strong problem-solving foundation.

I simplify tough concepts with high-energy, patient teaching: step-by-step Orgo breakdowns using diagrams/visuals, focus on the "why" (not rote), active recall, and targeted practice. MCAT clients get passage strategies, data/figure analysis, experimental interpretation, and high-yield review—many see fast Bio/Biochem & Chem/Phys gains.
Students rave: "Shay made Orgo click—C's to A+!" "Transformed my MCAT—clear explanations & resources that work!" "Patient, knowledgeable, always available—huge confidence boost!"
Super flexible in Miami Beach (in-person local) or online anywhere: mornings to midnight, short-notice OK. Follow my guidance and put in the effort—I guarantee real progress, better grades, and stronger scores.

I got an A+ in Organic Chemistry!!!!

I've always been a C student in Chemistry but ever since I started getting tutored by Shay, not only did my grade go up immensely, he helped me grow my confidence in Chemistry as well (something I didn't know was possible). I ended the first semester of Organic Chemistry with an A+ all thanks to him. The way he explains topics in Organic is extremely easy to understand, and really resonated with me. I can not stress how much Shay has made a difference in my life. I highly recommend him if you're looking for an Organic Chemistry tutor because I'm sure he'll make a big difference in your study habits, your confidence in the material, and your life overall.

Great Tutor!

Shay was an amazing tutor. He was very flexible, understanding, and easy to work with. I was a little behind in Organic Chemistry when we started, but he did a great job of meeting me where I was and helping me build a strong understanding of the material. He was always patient when explaining concepts and made sure I stayed up to speed with what we were covering in class. Thanks to his help, I felt much more confident in the course and better prepared for exams and assignments. I would highly recommend Shay to anyone looking for an Organic Chemistry tutor.

Kaydin, 5 lessons with Shay

Shay is GREAT 12/10!!!

I went from basically knowing nothing about organic chemistry to feeling confident and even excited to attack problems. At the beginning Shay was extremely patient and really broke down any areas I was struggling with. Shay also provided materials that were very useful throughout my journey and provided me with practice problems so that I could feel confident going into our sessions. Shay is also very flexible with any kind of schedule, and his communication was 10/10 throughout this whole process. I could not recommended Shay enough he totally rocks.

Shay Makes OChem Easy!

Shay M. has been an incredible tutor for Organic Chemistry II. He explains difficult concepts in a way that is clear, organized, and easy to understand. Ochem can feel overwhelming, but Shay is patient, encouraging, and really takes the time to make sure you understand the “why” behind each step instead of just memorizing answers. He helped me feel much more confident with reactions, mechanisms, synthesis, and exam preparation. I truly appreciated how supportive he was and how well he adapted each session to what I needed most. I would highly recommend Shay to anyone taking Organic Chemistry, especially if you need someone who is knowledgeable, kind, and able to make challenging material feel manageable.

Shay is the BEST

Shay was extremely helpful in finding a time that worked with my schedule and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to Organic Chemistry II. He was extremely helpful in explaining concepts and even providing diagrams to help me understand reactions.

So knowledgable and incredibly patient

Shay has been an incredible tutor for Organic Chemistry. He explains complex concepts in a way that is clear, logical, and easy to understand. Organic chemistry can feel overwhelming, but Shay breaks everything down step-by-step and makes sure I truly understand the “why” behind the reactions and mechanisms rather than just memorizing them. He is patient, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. Every session is organized and productive, and he always takes the time to answer questions and review material in different ways until it clicks. Since working with Shay, I’ve gained much more confidence in organic chemistry. I highly recommend Shay to anyone looking for help with organic chemistry!

Last minute savior

Shay jumped in last minute to help my son the night before an exam and did an amazing job. He was super flexible on timing and quickly got up to speed with what my son was working on and needed help with. Awesome experience!

Stephanie, 1 lesson with Shay

very patient even when you don’t understand at first

I wasn’t getting it, but Shay took to the time to review older material in order for me to get the new material and was very patient and persistent while I was learning all of it. Would recommend him!

Very Knowledgable

Shay is an exceptional tutor and a true expert in organic chemistry. I started working with him toward the end of my Orgo 1 semester, and within just three weeks he helped me raise my grade by an entire letter. What really sets Shay apart is his teaching approach. He always lets me explain what I do not understand first and then takes the time to go deeper into the material so the concepts actually make sense. He focuses on understanding rather than memorization. I also really appreciate that he encourages me to try problems on my own before stepping in, which helped build my confidence and problem solving skills. I am now working with him in Organic Chemistry 2, and so far it has been going really well. Shay genuinely pushes his students to learn and succeed, and I would highly recommend him.
