Review by Maria
"Matt tutored me for both Organic Chemistry I and II. His lessons were incredibly effective. My Organic Chemistry professor is known as a very challenging
Orgo professor at my school and any difficult concepts and questions that I would bring to Matt, he researched efficiently, and discussed with me at length until I understood the topics. He took the time to meet with me when it was good for my schedule, even if it was at inconvenient hours like late evening during the weekends, etc. Whether it was working at difficult practice problems my professor would assign, practice test questions, textbook problems, or simply deciphering the terminology of Organic Chemistry, Matt was a huge help and helped me develop my passion for Organic Chemistry!"

About Abby
I've had twenty years of piano and vocal practice, ten of those years with classical training. Music is my passion. When it comes to lessons, I feel that if a student isn't enjoying himself, true learning can't take place. Confident students who are supported and heard tend to perform well and take away more from the experience. I'm a big believer in being patient with students; taking the time to get to know them so that I can best tailor their lessons to their own individual goals. Students will be encouraged to play what they want to learn, and will receive classical training that will prepare them for anything they choose. While I strive to work with students and give them the opportunity to design some of their own lessons, I also want to make sure that parents are involved every step of the way and can weigh in on the progress of t
heir children. Each week the student will make progress and gain a confidence in their ability that they can take home and share with the family.

I'm usually a horrible mathematics student but this semester I was taking calculus which is daunting on its own even for students who have been taking mathematics. I have had a 5 year gap from my studies and Varna has been excellent, she helped me work my way up from an F to an A!!! I would recommend her for ALL my future mathematics classes.

About Dr. Alan
I am a recently retired university professor with 37 years' teaching and research experience in organic and bio-organic chemistry at two major U. S. State universities. During the past 18 years I have served as an MCAT content contributor by providing "units" (passages + questions based on passage content) to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the agency that produces and administers MCAT. I currently tutor students worldwide by using interactive Skype and Google Hangouts with screen sharing. The screen sharing feature permits chemical structures, formulas and reaction mechanisms to be drawn onscreen in real time during tutorial sessions. All visual materials produced in this manner are saved as jpg files and sent to students as email attachments at the conclusion of each tutorial session. In addition to one-on-one tutor
ing, Students are provided with study and review materials, practice problems and sample exam questions that I know from experience are likely to appear on midterm and final examinations.

I teach all ages, young and old, novice to experienced, and take great joy in meeting new people and getting to know them and helping them learn.

I received one of the highest marks ever in the country for Grade 8 pia

no when I was 14 years old and I haven't looked back! I've performed all over the world as a singer, and have always incorporated my piano as much as I can. I have had a joint number one in the UK, as well as other singles in the charts and have done arena tours throughout the UK and Europe. I have masses of performance experience and a lot of industry contacts as well.
Get in touch and we'll go from there! I'm excited to meet you and chat about what you want to achieve.

Welcome! I am a former teacher with 10+ years for experience. I teach all levels of English, Spanish, and test prep, especially math.
I attended Seton Hall University for Education and Spanish where I was able to travel to Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Spain, and Costa Rica. After graduation I attended Rutgers for English as a Second Language. I am certified in New Jersey.
In our first lesson I like to see what level students are, ask what their goals are, and begin lessons that target those goals. Personalized lessons are the most effective and motivating. I love to help my students accomplish their goals and enjoy the process!

I have an M.S. in organic chemistry and have been tutoring chemistry full time for the past five years since graduation. I've helped students locally at nearly every college in Western Mass, and I have thousands of hours experience tutoring online for students across the United States and world, including at UPenn, Stanford, Columbia, Wellesley and many others.
Organic chemistry is unique in the way that first principles build on each other throughout the course. I am an expert at breaking O-Chem down into fundamental concepts so that you can spend less time memorizing, and more time understanding. I can also identify various tips and tricks along the way that Professors seem to keep secret!
