Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!

Why Tutor With Aromatic Prep for CHEM 131?
Excel on What's "Actually" Tested - ~75% of UMD professors recycle old exam questions. Some professors repeat entire exams verbatim, some repeat only 1 or 2 questions per test. Yet, having seen them, students still don’t know how to begin due to confusing wording. Tutor 1-on-1 with me and I’ll help you translate Chemistry into English so you can answer quickly and correctly.
Tech Savvy Tutor - I know the ins and outs of online meeting software, like Zoom, Webex and Join.me. I'll easily fix your tech issues as well to ensure our session runs smoothly.
Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 131 UMD professors create their own exam questions. ~25% of professors pull from outside sources (such as textbooks) that students are not aware of. As part of 1-on-1 tutoring, I’ll prioritize your access to resources, so you know which questions to study and most likely tested in class.
