What to look out for in UMD CHEM 135

    • Competitive Office Hours

    Students tend to wait ~30 minutes before the professor opens their door, just to be the 1st to ask their own questions.

      Organic Chemistry

    At UMD, CHEM 135 teaches 20% of organic chemistry reactions. This extra material catches students by surprise since it involves different applied thinking. A tutor like myself, who has mastered both Gen Chem and Orgo, is best suited to help you navigate the peculiarities of this class.

      Absence Policy

    After an emergency, including hospitalization, ~80% of UMD chem professors expect you to take their exam same time as everyone else when you return to campus.

      Homework Points

    UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.

    • Study Tips for CHEM 135 Exams

    Don't Cram

    Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.

    Avoid Distractions

    Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.

    Work with a tutor, find a study group, or talk to your professor if you get stuck.

    Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 135?

    • Accelerated Catch Up - If you're behind, I'll help you catch up 10x faster than studying on your own using private resources.

      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.

      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.

      Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 135 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.
