My passion is to work with students of all ages (Middle School through Graduate Programs) in Science and Math. My goal is to teach/mentor/inspire and help students gain confidence in the below subjects.

I currently tutor Chemistry and Chemistry AP, Organic Chemistry, MCAT, DAT, Physics, Physics AP, Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and Calculus courses to Middle/High School and College/Graduate students.

I have a specific passion for Mentoring and helping Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental students get into Medical/Dental School.

My posted hours are my preferred times, however I am somewhat flexible and willing to work around your schedule. I am available to do Web-Cam Internet tutoring, so email me to find out more information. I do NOT travel into NYC for tutoring unless my schedule permits.

I look forward to helping you pass your Chemistry/Physics and Math courses!

My educational background is B.S. in Professional Chemistry (Chemistry Major, Math and Physics Minors) from Eastern Michigan University, an M.S. from Michigan State University and a Ph.D.in Organic Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to becoming a full time Mentor/Tutor, I worked 4 years in the Pharmaceutical Business in New Jersey.

My cancellation policy is 12 hours in advance and at this point in time due to high demand - I operate out of our Montclair - New Jersey office in person - tutor a significant amount via Wyzant (try it for free for 15 minutes and see how great it works!). I do travel if my schedule permits.

Featured review

Unbelievably fantastic tutor!

I could not even begin to say enough good things about Kevin's tutoring skills - he is absolutely fantastic! He tutored my son for 2 semesters of organic chemistry and put together a tutorial for the MCAT. Never having used a tutor before, my son was hesitant to start, but immediately felt a connection with and found confidence in Kevin. Kevin was totally reliable, accessible, organized and patient. He is obviously so brilliant that he is able to take even the most complicated concepts and calmly break them down with reasonable explanations. Any time my son was feeling stress with his work, a session with Kevin would quickly alleviate his anxiety and give him the confidence to move forward. Beyond his intellectual skills, Kevin is a very kind, polite and approachable person. He relates extremely well with this age group. From a practical standpoint, Kevin was very flexible and accommodating - always willing to travel at times and to places which were convenient for my son's schedule. I cannot imagine a more wonderful science tutor than Kevin.

Excellent Teacher

Kevin breaks down complicated scientific content into real life scenarios which helps me better understand the material. His lectures gives me confidence that I can solve difficult problems in the future. He is intelligent, compassionate, and wants his students to succeed. What more can you ask for?

Eddie, 3 lessons with Kevin

Full steam ahead

Kevin breezed through all topics on my practice test throughly explaining every question and providing simple explanations. Very prepared tutor who has a great grasp on the concepts he teaches.

Konrad, 1 lesson with Kevin

Very helpful and knowledgeable

Kevin helped my college student prepare for a chemistry exam by explaining complex topics and answering questions in a masterful way. My student enjoyed the session with Kevin and went on to score an A on the exam. Kevin is definitely someone we will use again.

Js, 1 lesson with Kevin

Knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutor!

Kevin is a great teacher. He is a perfect blend of knowledge and patience to understand student needs. He took extraordinary efforts to ensure that a student is confident about the topic. Thank you Kevin!

Daniel, 4 lessons with Kevin

Organic chem review session

We went over a lot of practice problems and exam for my upcoming exam, focusing on sn1, sn2, e1, and e2 reactions. Kevin really helped me solidify my knowledge on the material and worked through problems with me, making sure I understood every step!

McKenzie, 3 lessons with Kevin

Worth every penny!!

He was able to break things down so that my daughter fully understood and grasped the concept. He went above and beyond and stayed up late night to help my daughter before her big test! My daughter was more than prepared for her chemistry test and very confident. I can not thank him enough!

Ashlee, 2 lessons with Kevin

Organic Chem 2

Kevin led the session with a concise and organized lesson structure! Kevin is relatable and empathetic. I highly recommend Kevin as a tutor for anyone!

Kimberlie, 1 lesson with Kevin

Very Professional and Effective

Kevin tutored my son in Honors Physics. He asked for material in advance so he could make the most use of the lesson. My son found him clear and effective and had no problem with the online format. Kevin seems very professional and reliable.
