Qualifications for “physics”


I took two semesters of organic chemistry and one semester of physical organic chemistry with an overall average of an A- grade. During my undergraduate junior and senior years, I was a designated tutor for my chemistry department in organic chemistry. The students who came in regularly and from the beginning saw the greatest gain. Learning organic chemistry, at large, requires a build up from the physicochemical properties of molecules and functional groups, to reactions and mechanisms, to synthesis. Thus, the better the understanding of the prior steps, the better the understanding of the following steps.

About half of my time was spent in helping students with their lab reports. I have refined my ability for lab work from my coursework and from three years of extracurricular chemistry research spent between inorganic synthesis of borane compounds and organic ligand synthesis.

________

If you’re interested in contacting me, some guidelines:

1. I will ignore spam messages.

2. I realize that new students may be reaching out because of an urgent need. However, I will need information about expectations to ensure that I can best help you, and this can take some time.

3. I will not schedule a meeting until (2) is answered, and I insist on talking with a potential student first. This is to assess fit and rapport. I might be a great tutor and you might be a great student, but if we can't work and communicate well together, then it's not going to work out.

4. Please be specific with your requests. For example, send me the names of topics rather than “help with chapter 4,” as I probably do not have your specific textbook.

Excellent Tutor. Highly recommend.

Andrew is a very good, patient tutor. He really works hard to ensure his student learns the subject and feels confident. He shows genuine interest in his students. He responds to email and is always available. He is flexible in his hours. We are so glad we found Andrew. He has been teaching Chemistry and Algebra to my daughter and is excellent in both subjects. I highly recommend Andrew.

A very knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Andrew helped me review some of the units of organic chemistry as well as taught me how to spot things out. His tutoring style was great, if I didn't know something he eother prompted me or he told me to draw it out. I felt more confident with the mechanisms than I did when I took the class!

Very Caring

Andrew taught my daughter a (AP) chemistry concept she didn't understand for her first lesson. He allowed her to work through problems after walking her through them at first. This allowed her to grasp and understand what she was doing better than a simple "give the student the answer and move on" technique would've provided. He is a firm believer in understanding concepts thoroughly, and that is something my daughter and I appreciate greatly, as that is an important teaching quality.

Great knowledgable tutor

Andrew tutored me for over a year and was great! He is patient when teaching new material and can explain topics in numerous ways. He has an extensive knowledge of General and Organic Chemistry, and helped me to increase my grades in those classes. He also tutored me in Physics and helped me to identify and understand the fundamental topics. I would recommend Andrew to tutor these subjects.

Excellent Tutor

Andrew has not only helped my son dramatically improve his grades in chemistry, he has also instilled a real interest in the subject.

Great!!

Andrew is a wonderful tutor! He is patient and explains things in a very clear way. He allows you to reach answers yourself, but helps you along the way. He is also very responsible by email, should questions arise outside of a tutoring session. Andrew also was flexible, understanding, smart, and always prepared. Could not have made it through organic chemistry without him!

Eileen, 11 lessons with Andrew

The best tutor I have ever had! Makes sure you understand the topic inside and out!

I had a great time learning from Andrew! He really knew all the little details and gave great clear explanations on how to solve the problems! He helped me acquire many helpful tips on how to solve my math problems! After an hour of listening to him, I was amazed by how quickly I started to do the problems!! I highly recommend this tutor for anyone who is having trouble in math! I will be contacting Andrew much more during the year to help me more with math! I'm so pleased and it was a pleasure working with him!

Patient, consistent, and knowledgeable

I first started getting tutored by Andrew when I decided I needed to get a leg up on organic chemistry over the summer before I started the class in the fall. I had absolutely no background in organic chemistry aside from what concepts I had learned in college and high school general chemistry, and Andrew was very instrumental in helping me form a comprehensive understanding of the material and tackle any difficult problems I might encounter in my class. He was very patient and accessible when I had any questions or needed help outside of tutoring. All in all a great experience working with Andrew!

Professional, Reliable, and Effective

My son has had difficulty grasping Math concepts during High School lectures which has created gaps in his learning and resulted in low test scores. After several meetings with Andrew, my son started to gain confidence and understanding of Algebra II and eventually scored an A on an exam. He is so comfortable with Andrew, that he will text him on his own to set up their meetings. Andrew is quick to respond, accommodating, and on time.

Michelle, 44 lessons with Andrew

Great tutor, just what my son needed

Andrew is very knowledgeable in Chemistry and is helping my son study for the Chem AP exam. When my son has a question, Andrew knows the answer right away and is able to explain things in a way my son can understand.
