Hi! I'm Bryan. Struggling with Organic 1 or 2? I can help! Struggling with Gen Chem 1 or 2? Sure! I can help there as well with practice problems tailored to your course curriculum!

Whether you're looking to prep for an exam or just understand those elusive concepts your professor teaches, I can get you prepared and confident before exams!

I have 1,000+ hrs of experience developing clear explanations to problems in a step-by-step process. I've helped international students with a language barrier score A's and B's in chemistry! Most of my international clients become fluent in diverse chem topics in just a few months! In Fall 2021, an international client taught resonance to her biochemistry tutor after working with me using my sample problems. I have achieved these results by being patient and flexible adjusting my explanations and approach to accommodate each student's unique learning style.

I have also helped students when zoom lectures are insufficient. Most of my students report dramatic improvement in their grades at Penn State, Brown, UGA, Florida State, UCSD, Univ of South Carolina, and Clemson!

Courses and Topics:

General Chem 1:
Stoichiometry, SI Units, Accuracy vs Uncertainty in Measurements, Balancing reactions, finding Limiting reactants, Lewis Structures, VSEPR Geometry, hybridization, and Acid-Base reactions

General Chem 2:
Calorimetry, Calculating Free Energy reactions, Enthalpy, Equilibrium constants Keq, Kc, Kp, and Q, Redox reactions, and Ecell

Organic Chem 1:
IUPAC, Sn1 vs Sn2, Markovnikov Rule, carbocation stability, chair conformers, Newman projections, stereochemistry, Synthesis, Arrow mechanisms

Organic Chem 2:
NMR, Grignard reactions, Aromatic substitutions, carboxylic acid derivatives, Aldols and enolates, Epoxidations, oxidation of alkenes, reduction of carbonyls, aromaticity and Huckel Rule

See a few of your topics? I'm available most weekdays 9 AM to 4 PM and 8 PM to 11 PM Eastern. As well as most weekends so feel free to reach out!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 is one of my favorite subjects. I have always excelled at manipulating equations and solving for variables. Since my first encounter with Algebra 1 in 9th grade, I have over five years experience with fundamentals and problem-solving techniques. Overall, mathematics is my strongest subject and combined with my six year tutoring background, I am confident that students can demonstrate dramatic improvement on standardized tests and quizzes.
Chemistry

Chemistry

Earning a B.S. degree in chemistry has exposed me to a wide-range of chemistry courses. I especially have experience with ideal gas law, atomic structure such as orbitals, equilibrium reactions, bonding, acids & bases, and electrochemistry. My focus is making sure students understand the concepts well enough to be confident and self-proficient after tutor sessions.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I have been teaching organic chemistry full-time with a M.S. in chemistry since 2019. I have taught 15 students how to understand a few concepts that can be applied repeatedly to ace organic chemistry! During my undergraduate career, I scored in the 95th percentile on the ACS final and began tutoring organic later that year in 2011. I received an A in organic 2 and soon realized what I wanted to with my life! Organic chemistry is not a memorization course as many are led to believe. I can give you the tools to break away from un-productive studying to become an expert!
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

Reading comprehension is an important skill for every student regardless of their field of study or interests. As a chemist for example, I spend months on certain occasions writing abstracts and research reports which requires me to read perplexing articles from professional chemists. Since then, I have been accepted to conferences, scored well on reading tests and continuously apply this useful skill in my research.

Truly outstanding organic chemistry help

Bryan is hands-down the best Organic Chemistry tutor I’ve ever worked with. I came into our sessions overwhelmed, anxious, and genuinely unsure if I could keep up with the course. From day one, he completely changed the way I approached the material. He’s incredibly patient, clear, and unbelievably knowledgeable about every aspect of Organic Chemistry. No matter how confused I was or how many times I needed something re-explained, he never made me feel rushed. He breaks down complicated mechanisms in a way that makes sense. Beyond just teaching the content, Bryan helped me significantly with my anxiety around Organic Chemistry. He creates a calm, encouraging environment that makes it possible to actually think, ask questions, and build confidence. After working with him, I understand the material so much better. I cannot recommend Bryan enough. If you need someone who is patient, supportive, and truly an expert in the subject, he’s the person you want.

Knowledgeable, patient and prompt

Bryan was quick to respond to my daughter’s aid and made her feel better and comfortable with taking her Org 2. I wish we knew him earlier but we will surely keep Bryan as her teacher as she goes through college. Thank you so much Bryan you are surely a God sent.

Evelyn, 6 lessons with Bryan

Knowledgeable and professional

We worked on some organic synthesis. Brian was very helpful in teaching me certain rules about certain compounds and the behavior of those compounds. Would definitely work with him again.
