Dr. Dixon's Exam Style

Contact me for regular 1-on-1 tutoring for CHEM 131, CHEM 231, CHEM 241, CHEM 271, CHEM 461, BCHM 462 and CHEM 463 ASAP, and I can show you concepts that Dr. Dixon focuses in her exam questions.
Dr. Dixon NEVER follows the textbook. She has "rules" that are different and more in-depth than what is shown in the textbook and grades according to "her rules."
A lot of students organize their schedules around avoiding Dr. Dixon. This is because she teaches 6 chemistry classes up to Biochemistry 463, and it's likely every student will end up in her class at least once. I can help you navigate around her course times or help you pass her class on the 1st try.
Dr. Dixon heavily emphasizes on 3-D visualization for static molecules, reactions, and mechanisms.
