The Only Organic Chemistry Tutor You Need!

Words alone cannot describe how brilliant Darrell is. After struggling in class, I realized that I needed to find an Organic Chemistry tutor. It only took one session for me to realize that I did not need to look anywhere else. Darrell, in all aspects, was the mentor and tutor I needed to thrive in class. He was always very patient, understanding, and creative. There would be times where I was completely lost after attending lecture, and he would explain the material with such ease and clarity. After each session, I would walk out feeling confident. I did not know that was even possible (Chemistry is my weakness). But, Darrell is 100% the reason I survived Organic Chemistry, and I promise you that you will look forward to sessions with him!

Best OChem I’ve Ever Had.

Darrell sets the bar for OChem tutors. I mean his ability to explain, listen and dumb things down for students like myself is off the charts. Highly, highly recommended.
