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 tutor

Very helpful. So grateful Kevin was available on short notice. He helped my son fully understand the subject they worked on. So happy I found him. Highly recommend.

Carrie, 1 lesson with Kevin

Fantastic tutor!

Just when I thought my son was going to pull all his hair out, we contacted Kevin who helped him with some test review with only a few days' notice. My son pulled off an A- on his honors chem exam. We had 2 sessions and both were so helpful. Kevin explained the concepts and didn't just run through the answers. My son was thrilled to finally feel prepared for 2 tests during this crazy year. The virtual learning has been so challenging, especially for chemistry without the in-person labs to drive the concepts home. (And I definitely don't remember my high school chem anymore!)

Kate, 2 lessons with Kevin

Wow! Remarkable, effective tutor

My daughter's first Chemistry lesson with Kevin was remarkable, and very beneficial. He presented the material in a simple, easy to understand method. Kevin covered a lot of information, yet made sure my daughter understood a concept before moving on to the next. The added bonuses are Kevin's patience, the fact that he encourages all questions, and his friendly demeere.

Marcia, 1 lesson with Kevin

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PATIENT

KEVIN WAS CHOOSEN TO TUTOR CHEMISTRY, MY SON WAS STRUGGLING IN CHEMISTRY HOWEVER HIS 1ST SESSION WITH KEVIN HE DEVELOPED THE LOVE INSTANTLY BECAUSE KEVIN MADE IT SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND . MY POINT IS KEVIN IS 100%ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CHEMISTRY TO WHOM EVER IS STRUGGLING OR HAVE NO IDEA. MY SON WAS HAPPY (HARD TO PLEASE) MONEY WELL SPENT!

AKEESHA, 37 lessons with Kevin

Very Helpful

Kevin worked with my 17 year old son at the last minute to help him prepare for a chemistry test. Before the lesson my son was feeling quite lost. After just one hour with Kevin my son felt much better prepared. We will definitely be scheduling with Kevin again.

Beth, 1 lesson with Kevin

Legit

Kevin is tutoring me in undergraduate Organic Chemistry. He is intelligent, competent, and able to explain this complicated material in a way that makes sense. My grade has nearly doubled in just a few sessions working with him. Kevin A. is legit! Thanks Kevin!

Ronni, 8 lessons with Kevin

Always there for help!

This is the my son's first lesson with Kevin, I made the last minute request for help from Kevin, and Kevin said yes despite his busy busy schedule, I so appreciate it! Definitely Kevin is very knowledgeable in Chemistry and he knows how to teach teenage boy very well too. My picky boy likes Kevin very much the first lesson! We will definitely have Kevin for more Math and science lessons in the future! Thank You Kevin!!
