Excellent tutor - professional - patient -fantastic

J.R. Has been regularly tutoring Chemistry to my daughter who is in her senior year. This is the first time we ever used a tutor and I was surprised how well this has helped my daughter. J. R. Has not only helped her with the approach but also has really built her confidence. He has helped her to better conceptually understand problems and topics along with the appropriate approach to solving them. If you have a child that could use a little help or a huge boost in chemistry then J.R. Is a tutor I highly recommend. I believe my daughter describes it best - J.R. Helps her to understand and retain information better than what she was experiencing in the classroom

Thank you so much for your kind words. I must admit that your daughter makes my job very easy. She is a delight to work with, and is accepting of my input and eager to learn. I am sure she will do well in her college courses and beyond. Thank you for the opportunity to work with her.

Thanks for the kind words John. I’m glad I was able to answer your questions in a manner that made sense and hope that my explanations were adequate. I’ll look forward to working with you again.

Accommodating and Fantastic Chemistry Tutor

To begin with, JR was extremely accommodating with scheduling. He went, above and beyond, with fitting me into his hectic schedule. Being around finals time, this was overly appreciated! In addition, JR willingly met with me online, and for me, this was a “lifesaver”! Secondly, JR made everything excessively understandable and very clear. He focused on where I was requesting help, and he didn’t waste any time during our tutoring sessions. I asked for additional practice worksheets, and those were provided. JR was thorough, professional, and NOT dull and boring which was a definite bonus. Because of tutoring with JR, my final went very well. Without his help, I’d really rather not think about how it might have gone! Without a doubt, JR definitely knows the material. He knows what he’s talking about. The final that JR helped me with was a college exam in chemistry, as I’m an engineering undergraduate at the University of Dayton. So again, he’s a fantastic and very knowledgeable tutor! I’d recommend him to anyone! He’ll definitely help you learn the material!

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a nice review. I hope you are doing well.

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.

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.

Great tutor

J.R. is very knowledgeable and patient. He prepares well before the lesson and explains clearly. My daughter thinks he is the best!

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.
