Hello. My name is Alan. I am an experienced chemistry educator. My total commitment to student-centered learning is coupled with my deep knowledge of the best organic chemistry resources which I supplement with individualized lessons to maximize student growth. None of my students has ever failed organic chemistry. I know your organic chemistry class is an abstract maze of symbols, arrows, and shapes, all laced with short hand abbreviations, bizarre names, and confusing words. I will show...

I have had the pleasure of attending multiple organic chemistry tutoring sessions with Alan, and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of remarkable. From the onset, it was evident that Alan possesses an exceptional teaching ability, coupled with a profound understanding of organic chemistry that is both deep and wide-ranging. Each session was meticulously planned and tailored to address my specific areas of difficulty, making the complex and often daunting concepts of organic chemistry much more accessible and understandable. Alan employs a variety of teaching methods, including visual aids, practical examples, and interactive problem-solving, which greatly enhanced my learning experience. His ability to break down complicated topics into manageable, bite-sized pieces is truly commendable. Thanks to Alan's guidance, I have seen significant improvement in my grades and, more importantly, my understanding of organic chemistry. His patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm for the subject matter have not only boosted my confidence but have also ignited a genuine interest in organic chemistry that I didn't know I had. Moreover, Alan has been incredibly flexible and accommodating with scheduling sessions, always going the extra mile to ensure that I get the help I need, when I need it. His dedication to my success is evident in the great results I have achieved under his tutelage.

Excellent tutor!
Alan is a great and knowledgeable organic chemistry tutor. He helped me understand everything from the basics to complex problems. He not only teaches problems but also provides practical applications with his easy-to-understand teaching style. I would highly recommend take Alan for organic chemistry tutoring for anyone who struggling and needs help! I enjoyed learning organic chemistry, even though it was one of the hardest courses I took.

Kind, Thorough, and Passionate Tutor! Highly Recommend
I sought help in Organic II as I was struggling and needed at least a C in order to graduate from my program (it was my last semester) but was a little hesitant to seek out tutoring as I had never gotten services from Wyzant before. When I first reached out to Alan i described my situation in the class, and expressed my concerns about being a little nervous about tutoring for both the financial reasons as well as not having experience with being tutored in a professional sense before. Alan was very kind and replied in a timely manner, addressing my concerns and assuring me we could work on the material and that I could get through the class. Alan worked with me on practice quizzes and test provided by my teacher and always stressed the fundamentals that I was lacking on. He provided good reference material to better help me understand fundamentals that helped me reason through the problems. I really enjoyed that Alan was always polite, courteous, and understanding to any concerns I had. There were multiple occasions where Alan worked longer than the allotted time to make sure I understood material before a test or quiz, and even would mention fun facts about molecules or reagents that not only helped me remember them but were also interesting! On several occasions I reached out about general questions about Ochem Lab and Alan was happy to help! With Alans help my test average went from a 60 (after being curved) to 80's (after curve) and the mistakes I made were typically careless mistakes that once I saw the problem when test were handed back I immediately knew where I had messed up. I looked forward to sessions with Alan, and would highly recommend him for his professional demeanor and knowledge on the subject which helped me succeed in my final semester of undergrad! Thank you so much!

This tutor saved my grade in organic chemistry 1
Before going to this tutor I was genuinely debating whether I should drop the class. I had failed my last test and my grade was pretty low. My professor for the class was not doing very well in preparing anyone for the tests so I was basically trying to teach myself. Fast foward a couple weeks and I start my tutoring with Alan and it completely turned my graded around. I went from failing to having a B in the class and I a pretty confident in my abilities in organic chemistry now. To make a long story short if your struggling with organic chemistry I highly recommend to take Alan for tutoring. He will help you save your grade.

Clear and very knowledgeable!
Alan has been a great Organic Chemistry tutor thus far- with his vast knowledge in the subject, he is able to convey difficult topics to students very clearly in order to enhance their understanding of the material. He utilizes visual aids, analogies, rules, definitions and more to both familiarize students and teach. Alan's mastery of the topic is obvious, as he is able to immediately explain a given question that a student may find themselves perplexed by. I would highly recommend Alan if you are looking for an Organic Chemistry tutor!

Very effective teacher
Organic Chemistry was a subject that I struggled with a lot prior, but he was able to guide me through problems and figure out any mistakes that I was making and rectify them.

Exceptional Organic Chemistry Tutor
Alan possesses a combination of patience, kindness, and expertise that distinguishes him. Despite the inherent challenges of Orgo, Alan made the lessons comprehensible. What sets him apart is his teaching approach — he ensures that the foundations of Orgo are solidified in your understanding of each problem. Alan's provision of effective shortcuts and explanations cuts through the complexity of the subject without sacrificing depth, simplifying complex concepts. Throughout our sessions, Alan never wasted a moment of time, offering concise, insightful feedback and practical advice in response to challenging questions. I am proud to share that, under Alan's guidance, I achieved a final grade of A in my Orgo I class. For anyone seeking a tutor who can truly make a difference, I wholeheartedly recommend Alan.

Kind and Considerate tutor to help you achieve your Organic Chemistry goals
Alan is a very kind and enthusiastic tutor who helps you build confidence and understanding of Organic Chemistry. As you go through a problem with him, he explains the material very thoroughly and breaks it down in a way that helps you to understand. He is a tutor that allows you to think for yourself and build connections that make the material stick. I have benefitted a lot from his teachings and have done much better in my Organic Chemistry course. I recommend his tutoring to anyone in Organic Chemistry I or II!
