My name is Jeff and I am a full-time professional science tutor with a passion for teaching and a track record of helping students raise their grades, improve their self-confidence, and enjoy subjects they once hated. I have worked as a tutor since high school, tutoring my friends in return for chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately, I cannot pay my rent in chicken sandwiches, but if I could, that would still be my rate.

I attended college at the University of Virginia where I worked as a tutor for the Athletic Department and helped student athletes improve their grades and study habits. I then completed a Post-Baccalaureate program in order to complete all of my pre-med coursework. During my post-bacc, I tutored college students in Bio, Orgo, and Physics. I finished my post-bacc with a 4.0 GPA and scored in the 95th percentile on my MCAT. During the summer after my first year in medical school, I worked as a Gross Anatomy teaching assistant and instructed both Physical Therapy and Physician Assistant students in the fundamentals of Gross Anatomy. This was an amazing experience and it taught me that my true love will always be teaching others and helping them achieve their goals, no matter how daunting they may seem.

I tutor Biology, General Chemistry, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology at all levels from middle school, to high school, to AP and IB, to college level. Additionally, I can help with MCAT review and walk you through the medical school application process (i.e. work out a timeline, help brainstorm essay topics, etc.)

My tutoring philosophy is to present the material in a way that the student can easily relate to. If a student likes formulas, we will describe phenomena using formulas. If a student prefers learning visually with drawings and diagrams, then I will employ those. I will literally do anything possible and will present the material as many ways as necessary until it sticks in the student's mind.

I am also a coach. In hiring me, I will be your biggest supporter. I will bring a positivity to the experience and prove to you that you can learn anything, as long as the material is presented in the right way and you are willing to put in the work. I am extremely patient and will never make you feel down or embarrassed about your current level of knowledge, it is all about where we will end up when we are done (i.e. with a great grade/score you are satisfied with).

If you think I may be the right tutor for you, then please contact me. Thanks, and I look forward to working with you.

Best,
Jeff

Best tutoring experience I've had by far

I was extremely lucky to have Jeff as my tutor for Organic Chemistry I this past semester. Long story short, Orgo was a nightmare the first time around so I had to retake it. I decided to get a tutor and eventually reached out to Jeff. My first impression was that Jeff was very professional, yet laid-back and easy to talk to. He was very eager to help me reach my goals and showed willingness to do so however he could. I can't say much more about our tutoring sessions other than that they were way better than I could have hoped. Jeff utilizes very direct and easy to understand methods for teaching the fundamentals of Orgo, and with his methods I found Orgo to be actually somewhat enjoyable. He took my least favorite course and made it my favorite -- I can't ask for much more than that. Further, the abilities I found in myself after working with Jeff were truly surprising. I went from failing every exam the last semester to getting some of the highest grades in the class. Beyond his abilities as a tutor, Jeff is honestly just a cool dude. Our sessions felt extremely casual, like hanging out with a friend, and because the sessions were so relaxed, I feel that I learned concepts with ease. I'm happy to say that Jeff felt like a good friend by the end of my time with him. I really don't write reviews for things unless I've found the experience to be very bad or very good. My experience with Jeff was very, very good. Do yourself a favor and reach out -- I can't emphasize this enough. I am very thankful that I did.

BEST ORGO TUTOR EVER!

If you're looking for an organic chemistry tutor who is not only knowledgeable but also an absolute pleasure to learn from, look no further because you won't find anyone better than Jeffery! He taught me everything I needed to know about stereoisomers, chirality, enantiomers, diastereomers, and meso compounds literally within two hours! I’m terrible with spatial visualization, but Jeffery explained everything in a way that’s super easy and simple to understand using analogies real world concepts, amongst other things. I’m so impressed and grateful I chose him as my orgo tutor from Wyzant. Jeffery is encouraging, patient, and has a calm, pleasant personality that puts you at ease. We meet in person and work together as a team so that I understand everything. He promotes active learning and keeps me engaged, which is awesome since I have a short attention span lol.

Great!!

Another great session!! He takes his time with your questions and helps explain concepts in a way you can understand. Thank you so much!

Exceptionally Knowledgeable Tutor

The first time I took organic chemistry I ended up withdrawing from the course halfway through the semester. Three years later I decided to try my hand at organic chemistry again. Except this time, I was determined to exhaust every available resource to ensure my success. I ended up getting an A in organic chemistry. The main difference between my first attempt at orgo and my second attempt was that the second time around I had Jeff to help me. If it weren’t for Jeff’s exceptional knowledge, tutoring ability, and patience, I would not have succeeded in this course. Jeff is by far the best tutor I have ever had. Because of Jeff I learned to love organic chemistry. His ability to inspire confidence in his students is unmatched. I cannot recommend Jeff highly enough.

Best Tutor Ever

Think of a TA who knows the professor’s mind like the back of his/her hand. Now think of that TA being available to answer to all your personal academic questions, not just the class’. That fictional TA is Jeff.
I enlisted Jeff’s help a third of the way into my organic chemistry I course. At that point, despite being with another tutor, organic chemistry still didn’t make sense. And I doubted that it ever would. But that all changed when Jeff entered the picture.
Jeff is incredibly good at breaking down hard concepts into simpler terms. He’s especially proficient with his metaphors. Not only is he good at teaching, his relaxed and kind attitude made me enjoy organic chemistry. Organic chemistry became one of my favorite subjects, despite the difficulty of the subject. In the end, with his help I managed to not only pass orgo but also thrive in the class. I highly recommend him!

Fantastic chemistry tutor

Jeffrey is an exceptional tutor. He helped my daughter not only end up with two As (both semesters) in her advanced chem course -- which she started barely able to follow the class -- but also feel confident and enjoy chemistry. He helped with assignments, understanding labs, test review, etc. Jeffrey is easy going, patient, extremely reliable and a lovely person. Can't recommend him enough.

An Incredibly Helpful Tutor!

I had Mr. Jeffrey as my tutor for Anatomy and Physiology a year ago, and he was excellent! He was always on time and always made sure to explain things carefully. He was especially knowledgeable on the Human anatomy and always knew his stuff. Often times he would give me extra information about the human body that I would use on my Anatomy exams. He was always patient with me and made sure I understood the topic before moving onto the next one. Overall, I wouldn't ask for a better tutor!

Great tutor

Jeff helped me with Physics I did not take physics for a long time With Jeffs help I got an A in that class He was always on time and give very good notes I would recommend him to anyone

Amazingly knowledgable and dedicated tutor

Jeffrey tutored me during my 5 weeks intensive orgochem2 class at CUNY Hunter College--he was a great teacher and was amazingly supportive and kind throughout the course. Jeffrey was able to explain concepts really well and often used great analogies that helped me truly understand (rather than purely memorize) the reactions/mechanisms etc.; this ultimately decreased the amount I had to memorize (a huge time saver!), and because I was able to think through the processes logically, allowed for me to apply this knowledge to solve complex problems on test day. He was also very helpful outside of tutoring sessions as he always promptly answered orgochem questions succinctly via text (photos of hand drawn mechanism highlighting key points) or phone call. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling through orgochem material or just needing a confidence boost in this tough course!

Rosalie, 6 lessons with Jeffrey

Highly recommend!

Jeff is an excellent tutor! He was able to break down tough concepts in a way that I could understand, and was very patient when I needed to go over a concept multiple times.
