Chem grade increased 10% so far

My daughter thought she hated chemistry and was so discouraged. After 3 sessions with JR her semester average is up 10%, she's enjoying the class, and other students are coming to HER for help. He has made chemistry accessible and helped her to become a confident science student. It has been an amazing transformation. My only regret not hiring him sooner.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You have no idea how much those sentiments/comments mean to me. Your daughter was an easy student to work with, as she was attentive, receptive, and hard-working. I am thrilled that I may have had an influence on her affinity for science and chemistry. I wish her luck and success in her future endeavors. I have no doubt she will succeed in whatever she attempts.

Flexible and incredibly knowledgeable tutor

My 10th grade needed help with chemistry and we didn’t give J.R. much notice and he made it happen. My daughter was in tears that day over chemistry but after meeting with J.R. her knowledge, confidence and understanding was unbelievable. We are so grateful and highly recommend him. We will be using his services again in the future.

Thank you for your positive comment. I always try my best to relate to each student and their specific needs. I’m very gratified to hear that I had some small, positive influence on your daughter's confidence in dealing with her chemistry studies. Good luck to her going forward, and I’d be happy to work with her in the future should the need arise.

Knowledgeable, patient and good teacher

My son is taking an summer chemistry class through IUPUI that moves through the material very quickly. J.R.S. Has been able to take a large amount of material and break it down into information my son can understand and grasp. J.R.S. has a mastery of the material, and knows tricks and tips to help my son learn it effectively and he paced the session very well. My son really enjoyed working with him and looks forward to more sessions.

Great tutor

My daughter is learning a lot with J.R and says she enjoys her tutoring sessions! She says he explains things better than her chemistry teacher. Looking forward to future sessions.

Thank you Emily. Working with your daughter has been a delight, and I look forward to assisting her in the future, should the need arise.

Excellent and responsive Chemistry tutor

J.R. contacted us and arranged an appointment quickly. He seems flexible in his schedule. While my daughter didn't need as much help as we thought, she felt that J.R. had a very good way of explaining Chemistry concepts. He spent the time going over the practice problems she was given. We would definitely contact him again for assistance!

Excellent experience

My son had a review lesson with JR today. We scheduled the lesson very efficiently using the website, with relatively short notice and over the weekend. The teacher was prompt and effective. My son he was concerned that he did not understand the concepts in class (electro thermo chemistry) and felt very reassured after the lesson. JR reviewed the concepts and solved problems with him; all his questions were answered. We plan to take additional lessons prior to his AP exam. Excellent teacher.

Thank you for your kind words. It was indeed a pleasure working with your son, and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I'm sure he'll do very well in his Chemistry class.

Very knowledgeable

I highly recommend J.R. as an outstanding chemistry tutor. I have met with him three times to work through practice tests before the three chemistry exams this semester. He explains concepts very well and he showed me multiple ways to solve several of the problems. Because of J.R.'s help, I have scored well on the exams. If you want to improve your chemistry grade, call J.R.!

Thank you John. It's been a pleasure working with you. Keep up the good work.

Highly Recommend

I'll never forget my daughter's sense of relief after just one tutoring sessions with J.R. She stated, "NOW I get it!" 'Nuff said!

Very patient and great at explaining challenging material

My teacher at school even noticed a difference once I got a tutor. He is willing to work with you until you truly understand the material. He allows you to work out the problem on your own, so you can know how to do it when you are taking the test. Great tutor overall!
