I have taught and tutored Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, as well as Chemistry (all levels), for the past 11+ years, having the pleasure of meeting, getting to know, and teaching hundreds of students. What I love about tutoring compared to teaching is the ability to work one-on-one at the pace the student needs. I am not always able to work one-on-one as a teacher, but being one helps me be flexible and know how to meet the needs of all types of students.

I have received numerous awards for tea...

Session was great went over many organic chem stuff to prepare for organic chemistry this semester. Really enjoyed it thank you!

My daughter was struggling with Organic Chem 1 so I reached out to Alex to see if could help her before the final exam. Even though he was busy, he found a way to accommodate her in his schedule. She just had two lessons but felt better and more confident. She said Alex explained well and made the concepts easy to understand. He was very organized, interactive, and made notes while explaining. She wishes she had taken lessons with Alex at the beginning of the semester. With exams in a week, she is hoping that the few lessons will help her perform well. She definitely had a wonderful experience and is looking forward to the next session.

Alex is a gem. I found him way, way too late in the semester but he?s helped me so much. Alex has forgotten more about organic chemistry than I?ll ever know, he?s absolutely brilliant. I found him very late into my first semester of orgo, yet he?s already helped me tremendously not only with actual concepts, but also with my confidence. I excited to continue to work with Alex over the summer and do well in orgo 2. Alex is so patient and so willing to help you with anything, no matter how small, basic, or silly. Alex was the first tutor I got on wyzant, and as far as organic chemistry is concerned, he?ll be the last.

Alex is very knowledgeable and very helpful. He?s very patient and allows me to think through this on my own. I have a big exam coming up and I?m looking forward to practicing and ultimately doing well, all thanks to Alex?s help!

After my first session with Alex I felt relieved. He was very, very patient and willing to explain things multiple different ways if needed. I really enjoyed my session with Alex and I hope to continue and cultivate a relationship with him, he was awesome!

Helped me prepare for my exam this Friday by going over a practice exam with me. Was patient and made sure the I understood what he was explaining.

Alex is an excellent tutor. Before I started my tutoring sessions this fall semester with Alex, I had gotten a very poor foundation in my Orgo 1 class barely passing with a C-. I got into Orgo 2 really uncertain that I could pull through. Working through the Orgo 2 concepts and even Orgo 1 sometimes with Alex really boosted my grades. From a 59, on my first test, I had an 88 and a 93 on my second and third exams respectively. And what's more, I did so well on my final exam bringing my final grade to an A-. I never dreamt of doing this well and it was all because of how well Alex guided me through all the concepts I needed for this course even with such a poor background in Organic Chemistry. He is patient and extremely flexible. He even helped through my Chem lab class and I felt really comfortable approaching my tests. Alex is simply an amazing tutor

Alex was very knowledgeable, flexible and patient. Alex had no trouble breaking down some of the trickier content and thanks to him I was able to survive the goliath that is Organic Chemistry 2. I found his extra practice problems to be very helpful and he was always willing to answer questions even if it was between sessions. I couldn't have picked a better tutor. Thank you Alex!
- Alyssa F. from Orlando, FL
Alex is an excellent tutor.He has really been of tremendous help in my Orgo 2 class this semester. He is patient and will do all he can to help you understand the concepts and help you apply them
- Sally K. from Quincy, MA
Alex is brilliant, he is very knowledgable and patient. He is able to help me understand basic tricks and concepts in my Orgo 2 class. He is very kind and understanding and goes down to break down complex concepts for you to succeed in Chemistry
- Sally K. from Quincy, MA
Alex was very flexible and could meet at times that didn't interfere with my schedule. He broke down topics piece by piece, to help me understand the concepts. I definitely feel like I learned more after my sessions with Alex. I would recommend him to anyone taking a challenging Chemistry class. I enjoyed working with him and look forward to working with him again in the near future.
- Alisha S. from North Las Vegas, NV
Alex was my tutor for both organic chemistry 1 and 2. He is extremely intelligent and is kind and patient and will make sure you know everything that you need to know. Because of him I was easily able to master synthesis and mechanisms that were in organic chemistry. I would usually leave class confused but after a lesson I would have a great understanding of the material. Alex is great at what he does and you will become much better at organic chemistry with Alex as your tutor.
- Taha R. from Marlton, NJ
Alex is an awesome tutor! I reached out to find a tutor after a rough first exam in Orgo II. I made a 65 and was absolutely panicking, I messaged Alex and he relied promptly and with genuine sympathy. I went from a 65 on the first test to a 110 on the second and a 100 on the third. He was always so helpful in explaining orgo topics in a way that is understandable and much less intimidating. I will continue to use Alex in the future and in my humble opinion you should too!
- Peyton M. from Calera, AL
Alex was my tutor for Organic Chemistry II at the University level. He is intelligent and patient. I tried several tutors before I found Alex, and he was by far the most helpful. I fully recommend Alex for any student. I believe his level of knowledge coupled with his patience make him a naturally qualified and excellent tutor. Choose Alex as your tutor to increase your grade. I made an A- in Org Chem II from a tier 1 research institution because of Alex.

I requested Alex's help because of his high recommendations on Wyzant and because I received by first test grade in Organic chemistry 2 and it was a failing grade (69%). My organic chemistry 1 professor taught my class nothing and gave us answers for tests, therefore I had no real organic background and that was a huge problem. Alex deserves all his praise, he is an awesome tutor, he is extremely patient, incredibly thorough, and teaches in an expert way that makes this very hard subject very understandable. I looked forward to all of our tutoring sessions because I knew, with his teaching, I would be able to grasp the specific orgo 2 lesson I was learning that week. It was never awkward or uncomfortable, he made learning fun and comprehensible! 3 weeks after tutoring with Alex, I took my second orgo 2 test and I received a 97! My third test I got a 93 and on the final exam of the entire course I received a 98! The huge jump in my first test to my last 3 is extremely impressive to his tutoring skills, but to really emphasize his ability to teach, I have to reiterate the fact that I knew absolutely nothing from organic 1. And with no basis of the prerequisite, through Alex's teaching and a lot of hard work, I received an A in Organic chemistry 2. THANK YOU ALEX!!

In the beginning, I wasn?t sure how this whole online tutoring would work on Wyzant and was a little apprehensive about it. After the first session, I knew that the interactive tool and webcam video would suit my learning style. It eased my apprehension about online tutoring and I liked that you could save the boards for notes and review it later. Alex is very knowledgeable and a patient tutor. He broke down complex concepts and made them easy to understand. He went over basic concepts with me that I had trouble with. He used diagrams, graphs, charts and practice problems to help me grasp concepts and to remember them. He would go through step-by-step and explain the reason behind the reactions. He would say "time and practice builds confidence" and I slowly became more confident in my weak areas of organic chemistry.
- Kristen T. from Richmond, VA
Great session, feel very confident and comfortable with the materials we went over and am having less and less fears with organic chemistry. Overall great lesson and feeling accomplished.
- Faith L. from Conroe, TX
Alex taught me Organic Chemistry 2 and was super helpful! He went out of his way to make sure that I understood the problems and would cover things multiple times in different ways until I understood them. He was very polite and encouraging throughout the course. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor!
- Sydney M. from Canton, GA
My session with Alex was great. I came into the session very confused and ended the session having a much better understanding. Alex is very patient and is very good at listening to why and what you don?t understand and then tackles the problem imediately.
