Science Education and Communication

I want to thank you, you were an excellent tutor. You really matched my learning style. You were able to clearly and concisely answer all my questions, and you were great at providing additional context for further learning. I especially appreciated how you effectively used some of my examples to assist in the topics we were covering.

I felt you were a great tutor. I came into my third semester scared to take organic chemistry because of how deeply I disliked chem 1 and 2. I thought organic chemistry would be the same or even worse. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the course and you were a very big part of this. Having you explain the material so well and so clearly before I'd learn the topic in class (or as i was learning it), alleviated a lot of the stress.

You excelled at a lot of things. Teaching concepts, being consistent in your approach, and coming up with creative ways to understand these concepts, which are all important. You were always on time for my tutoring sessions, and I appreciate the times we took a little extra time to go over concepts I didn't fully understand.

Overall, I think you did a great job explaining concepts clearly and thoroughly. You were especially strong at breaking things down step by step and making sure I understood why something worked, not just how to do it. I also appreciated that you were willing to re-explain things in different ways when something didn't click right away.
