Award-Winning Private Organic Chemistry Tutoring in Rockville, MD

"We covered immunology during our session. The student began to understand presentation and how helper T cells would be able to activate B cells and cytotoxic T/memory cells. The overall concept was difficult, but she maintained a positive attitude during the material. Some of the study skills we talked about were how to identify possible sections that could be tested, how to figure out what concepts were the most important, and how to approach studying the material on her own. "

"We focused on preparing the student for his science exam tomorrow on solutions. We practiced and worked on molarity calculations and discussed solution concepts including polar vs. nonpolar substances. "

"We continued discussing E+M free response questions. We also spent some time looking over the topic list for the exam and briefly reviewing each topic. Overall, I have seen significant improvements in the student's confidence and accuracy and expect him to do well."

"We began by discussing the student's previous exam. In terms of the material, we went over her synthesis quiz step by step to discuss how to approach the problem and how to study for it. Throughout, we went over specific reactions, including the oxidation of aldehydes/ketones, Friedel Crafts alkylation, TIPS protecting group, and more. We also left 30 minutes to go over mechanisms she had in class this week, including aromatic substitution of aryl amines/pyridine, alkylation of amines, and Hofmann elimination. "
