Jeffrey

Former Med-Student turned Professional Science Tutor

My name is Jeff and I am a full-time professional science tutor with a passion for teaching and a track record of helping students raise their grades, improve their self-confidence, and enjoy subjects they once hated. I have worked as a tutor since high school, tutoring my friends in return for chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately, I cannot pay my rent in chicken sandwiches, but if I could, that would still be my rate. I attended college at the University of Virginia where I worked as a tut...

Jeffrey G. was so much more than we could have ever expected! What an outstanding gentleman, who KNOWS HIS STUFF... I must advise everyone reading this review, "If you choose a tutor for Organic Chemistry, other than Jeffrey, you just walked away from the FINEST TUTOR EVER... Jeffrey is tutoring my college age son in Organic Chemistry and has made my son feel 200% confident in learning! JEFFREY G. ROCKS... Our family will continue to utilize Jeffrey for tutoring, for all three of our sons because Jeffrey is absolutely amazing!!! I have already provided Jeffrey's WyzAnt information to a few family members and friends because I am GINORMOUSLY impressed with Jeffrey. I must add, I think Jeffrey's fee of $65.00 an hour is a joke!!! I would pay Jeffrey $1,000 an hour if I could afford to do it. Jeffrey is an "Absolute Blessing In Disguise"! PERIOD... Trust me, you will not be disappointed... Jeffrey is the real deal from head to toe!!! Shane and I take our hats off to Jeffrey! I do not know where our family would be if we did not find Jeffrey on WyzAnt! Now, send Jeffrey an email and get started with him on WyzAnt!!!

Jeffrey was the first tutor in my college career of a Biology major. I tend to study the material intensively on my own; however, Organic Chemistry was not that easy, especially with a professor who is not capable of teaching it well enough. Thus, Jeff was able to identify my position in understanding the concepts of this science and helped me to improve upon it. With every topic that I needed help with, he first understood my perception and then modified it with examples that would allow me to understand his way of thinking as well as relate it back to mine. Additionally, he built his own system of breaking down the content in order to apply it to every problem in an organized way, so be ready to expose yourself to a completely new point of view that can alleviate your struggles!


Joseph S. from Brooklyn, NY

Organic Chemistry is definitely one of those classes that intimidate the individual pre-medical student beginning the first day of one's undergraduate career. Being on that boat, I took the liberty of contacting Jeff, via WyzAnt, to schedule periodic meeting throughout the course of my third semester. Jeff was an amazing tutor that brought the concepts taught in class to life. I began to see the relevance and significance of concepts, like reaction mechanisms and chirality, as Jeff taught and, more importantly, I enjoyed the material that was being explained. I received an A- in Organic Chemistry 1 and am very content with my decision of taking Jeff as my mentor.


Richard J. from New York, NY

Jeffrey walked into the door and connected immediately with our 14 year old son. He was patient, understanding and provided numerous useful tips on how to navigate physics. My son was delighted with the results and is looking forward to using Jeffrey again. I highly recommend Jeffrey.


Chavi K. from New York, NY

I truly gained a lot from having Jeffrey as a tutor before my physics final! He has a way of explaining things really clearly in terms that are easy to understand and apply when problem solving. Jeffrey was patient and helped me feel confident in my problem solving skills enough to cover a large range of material in a short amount of time. Jeffrey also made himself so readily available, even taking questions via email/phone when I had specific questions before my exam! He truly went above and beyond as a tutor to help me gain as much as possible and succeed at a course which was challenging for me. I would highly recommend Jeffrey to any college student taking physics-- you will not regret it!


Helena G. from New York, NY

Jeffrey has worked with my 14 year old son on a number of occasions for exam preparation. He is a kind and patient teacher who pays attention to detail. When planning lessons, communication is clear and easy. Jeffrey likes to be well-prepared. My son is very grateful to have worked with him as he shows a true interest in his success. We look forward to working with him in the future.


Jamie P. from New York, NY

Jeff is one of the best tutors I have had! He is very knowledgeable and patient. He has great pneumonics for difficult topics that have helped me through my courses. He centers each lesson around what the student needs that day and is very flexible! I had Jeff for anatomy and physiology and microbiology, and I got an A in both classes! Jeff is just awesome, and I would definitely recommend him!


Dolly R. from New York, NY

Jeff is tutoring my twin boys in Chemistry and Physics. Jeff is a very patient, intelligent, and great tutor. He knows his subjects and knows how to teach and make my boys understand Chemistry concepts and Physics problems. I would recommend Jeff to anyone who needs help with the subjects he teaches. 5 starts!!!! Thanks, Jeff.


Hawa C. from New York, NY

Jeff is a great tutor who forces you to actually do the thinking on your own! I have high hopes for this first time tutoring experience.


Mark F. from Astoria, NY

Jeffrey is down to earth, very patient and extremely intelligent. He used a variety of different methods to help me learn Anatomy of the Bones in a way I was unable to on my own. He was able to extend his time without any issue. Jeffrey is very knowledgeable and very helpful in teaching me ways to remember ridiculous names of the bones and where they were located. Never had a better tutor. If you need help with science or anything related to anatomy and physiology, you can't get a better teacher. 5 stars!!


Polina S. from New York, NY

I had several questions about ACT English section, and Jeffrey helped me a lot to understand some subtle details I didn't pay attention to. We went over couple of passages; Jeffrey suggested some creative solutions for questions I had most difficulties with. For example, the tutor gave me an advice to treat 'adding sentences' tasks like a lawyer! For other questions, Jeffrey shared some actual grammar rules. Anyway, at the end I was getting a 100% on my passages. I left with a better understanding of the material as Jeffrey gave me very clear explanations. Good job!


Daawar C. from New York, NY

I was extremely lucky to have Jeff as my tutor for Organic Chemistry I this past semester. Long story short, Orgo was a nightmare the first time around so I had to retake it. I decided to get a tutor and eventually reached out to Jeff. My first impression was that Jeff was very professional, yet laid-back and easy to talk to. He was very eager to help me reach my goals and showed willingness to do so however he could. I can't say much more about our tutoring sessions other than that they were way better than I could have hoped. Jeff utilizes very direct and easy to understand methods for teaching the fundamentals of Orgo, and with his methods I found Orgo to be actually somewhat enjoyable. He took my least favorite course and made it my favorite -- I can't ask for much more than that. Further, the abilities I found in myself after working with Jeff were truly surprising. I went from failing every exam the last semester to getting some of the highest grades in the class. Beyond his abilities as a tutor, Jeff is honestly just a cool dude. Our sessions felt extremely casual, like hanging out with a friend, and because the sessions were so relaxed, I feel that I learned concepts with ease. I'm happy to say that Jeff felt like a good friend by the end of my time with him. I really don't write reviews for things unless I've found the experience to be very bad or very good. My experience with Jeff was very, very good. Do yourself a favor and reach out -- I can't emphasize this enough. I am very thankful that I did.


Diane C. from New York, NY

I can't say enough good things about Jeffrey G. as a physics tutor. I don't know anything about the subject, and certainly had my reservations about finding a tutor off a website, but my high school junior is now back on top of a course she struggled in this year. And we have Jeff to thank for that. Junior year is anxiety central for most students, as these the are grades most colleges focus on. Physics may have been a challenge, but the added pressure of keeping the GPA in the clouds only exacerbated the problem. Jeff, first and foremost, came in and allayed my daughter's fears by listening to her describe where she needed extra clarity. He reviewed the topics she was struggling with and managed to explain them and work through them in a way she never heard at school. You could see with every session she was building up her strength in the subject as well as her confidence. Jeff was always on time and always came prepared. My daughter would text him the topics she wanted to review before every session so they were ready to get to work as soon as he arrived. He was extremely professional, always encouraging my daughter to text him anytime she had a physics question. I would highly recommend Jeff as a tutor. He clearly knows his stuff, and he knows how to explain it in a manner that clicks.


Adrian R. from New York, NY

What more can I say that hasn't already been said in the title?...beyond the fact that Jeffrey is extremely relatable, there is a calm assurance about his approach to teaching. he's very knowledgeable and very comfortable with the material, but it is his ability to break that material down to its common sense concepts, combined with his ability discern a student's specific learning style and tailoring his sessions it that truly sets him apart. With him, I have personally gained a greater sense of confidence about certain subject matter and, specifically, with organic chemistry material I have gained a much deeper understanding and, for the first time, a command of those concepts. His approach is professional and friendly, yet challenging and direct; though not at all threatening or confrontational. I am saddened to be losing him as a tutor, but wish him all the best as he moves on to a new and exciting chapter. I am more than confident that he will be successful in whatever he chooses to do, and those who are fortunate enough to have his support and tutoring--especially for the MCAT--will be better for it.


Didi S. from New York, NY

Jeffrey tutored me for chemistry and without him I would have failed the class. He's incredibly personable and makes learning fun. He makes everything easy to understand and he is so knowledgeable. He's reliable, punctual and could not be any better. I cannot recommend him enough, he's the most wonderful tutor- you'll be so lucky to have him.


Haresh M. from South Richmond Hill, NY

Jeffrey is a very knowledgeable and helpful tutor who goes above and beyond to help students. He is thorough and ensures you understand the concepts clearly. He gives sound advice to his students. Jeffrey tutored me in Physics 2 and helped me to ace this subject. I highly recommend this tutor to everyone who has difficulties in any Science Subject. He is great!


Denise W. from Brooklyn, NY

Jeffrey reviewed 10th grade Chemistry with my daughter in preparation for her final exam. Post-note is that she felt that she did well on the final, and that material she was previously weak on was strengthened by her tutoring session.


Monique H. from Arlington, VA

I saw Jeffrey for Physics tutoring and I was so happy I did. He was able to explain things in a clear, simple, and concise way. He taught me things that will help me throughout my entire semester of Physics. He's a great tutor and I suggest him to anyone struggling with the hard sciences.


Jess S. from Washington, DC

We went over formal charges and identifying lone pairs on structures and the shortcuts for doing so, also talked about nomeclatures and the rules for naming structures.


Alex V. from Arlington, VA

Just an exceptional instructor. Truly cares about what he is doing. Looking forward to the continued lessons with Jeff.


Shelandra B. from Fort Washington, MD

Jeff met with my daughter for the first time to prepare her for an upcoming exam. I made the connection with Jeff late Monday night, inquiring about a session Tuesday evening. I was impressed with his willingness to meet with us on such short notice. During the session, it took the time to assess my daughter and was patient when she included comments irrelevant to the subject. That was her way of dealing with her shyness. He patiently allowed her to express the irrelevant idea and gently got her back on track. There was quite a bit of material to cover, so he spent two hours with her. She learned and retained more in the 2 hours with Jeff than she has with her teacher. This was a great session.


Beatriz N. from Washington, DC

Excelente! She did great in her test. She is understanding the new concepts and enjoying the practicality of physics in the everyday life. Thanks.


Sara M. from Washington, DC

Jeffrey is extremely knowledgeable and is friendly. He knows the material really well, and by all means deserves the 5 star rating. Jeffrey has helped me overcome the confusion I faced in Physics. If you are looking for a physics tutor? He is definitely the person to aim for!


Emily G. from College Park, MD

I was struggling a lot with understanding how my physics professor taught our class. Jeffrey was able to take the lessons I was being taught and explain them to me in a way that I could understand and learn from. I went from failing my first exam to receiving a 95% on my second exam! He was extremely helpful and made me feel very comfortable with the materials I was learning.


Annie S. from Washington, DC

patient when I didn't understand a problem and guided me through it. Seems like a great tutor and I look forward to working with him.


Tamu W. from Washington, DC

I hired Jeffrey as my daughter's AP physics tutor when she was having some difficulties in the class. He is consistently friendly, courteous, and professional. More importantly, however, Jeff has been teaching her the concepts she needs to do well in the class. My daughter really enjoys his teaching style and has even admitted that she now enjoys AP Physics!
