I have a PhD in Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University with 10 years of experience tutoring college students in organic chemistry, general chemistry, and other areas of chemistry. I am passionate about chemistry and enjoy working with students to help them understand key concepts in a fun and concise manner. I will go the distance to help you achieve your goals and to improve your test results. I believe that open approachable communication, the establishment of a positive and creative learning environment, and working as a team are the key ingredients to a successful learning experience. I will take the time that is needed to help students develop their knowledge and skills while listening to their goals and needs. I will help them unlock their true potential and help them learn and achieve their educational goals.

When I enrolled in Organic Chemistry for the 3rd time, I was feeling like I would never pass the class. I met with Paul virtually and right away, he helped me understand the concepts. Paul was available at night and during the weekends and was always prompt, cheery and knowledgeable; he referenced multiple organic chemistry textbooks during our meetings to make sure I understood everything. Paul would go over every single chapter problem from the textbook and even prepared a practice final exam for me on concepts I was slightly struggling with. Paul was an excellent tutor; he made the atmosphere comfortable (for someone who was ready to give up on science), he was smart (he owns organic chem textbooks), and he was gifted in the way that he could explain the same topic in five different ways in a cheery tone. Needless to say, I passed the class as well as organic chemistry two and this would not have been possible without Paul's help!
