I have an M.S. in organic chemistry and have been tutoring chemistry full time for the past five years. I'm an expert at breaking chemistry down into fundamental principles so that students can spend less time memorizing, and more time understanding. I've accumulated various tips and tricks over the years that make tricky subjects like resonance, stereochemistry, mechanisms, synthesis and spectroscopy more manageable. I have spent many years studying both content and pedagogy in chemistry, e...

algebra 1
I've taken many math classes including up to calculus 2 and got A's in all of them. Algebra is also used quite frequently throughout chemistry, which I have tons of experience teaching and tutoring.

prealgebra
I've taken many math classes including up to calculus 2 and got A's in all of them. The basic mathematical operations used in prealgebra are also used quite frequently throughout chemistry, and I have experience tutoring and teaching them.
microbiology
In addition to chemistry I was also a microbiology major for my undergraduate degree (3.8 GPA). I can help you with lab reports and class assignments.

Matthew's a great tutor and helped out a lot. I recommend for others to work with him. He's easy to get a hold of by phone. Whenever I had a question, he was eager to help me out, even outside of the session. He's an easygoing guy and knows the material very well.

Extremely helpful and knowledgable. Highly recommend for orgo and orgo2. He doesn't just skim topics. He actually helps you learn concepts and ways to apply it to your exams.

Very patient. Explains the concept very well. Great tutor!! The best at working with your time to accommodate the student. He impacts the knowledge indeed. Thanks.

I went to Matt looking to review and re-learn general and organic chemistry for my medical school MCAT exam. Matt did a spectacular job, giving me clear understanding of material I had not seen in years. He was very adaptable to using several different books, and was extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend Matt for both organic and general chemistry.

In the past I have had several chemistry tutors but none have helped me as much as Matthew did. He knew all the material on the spot and taught the way a teacher would. He broke down the problems into a manageable way therefore understanding the concept was enjoyable and not strictly memorization. Instead of talking and writing the duration of the meeting, Matthew would have me do the problems and guide me through them! This allowed me to learn and gain the confidence to do them myself, much like any test would be. This prepared me a huge deal and the turnaround of my test grades reflected that! I would recommend him to students trying to master general and organic chemistry.

Matt is a fantastic tutor. I knew right away he knew the Organic Chemistry like that back of his hand when we had our first session. He is patient and makes sure you understand the basics before trying to learn the course. His test prep method is highly advanced and his experience in tutoring is very apparent.
