Dr. Mignerey's Exam Style

Dr. Mignerey's exam questions are short and straightforward...for Exams 1 and 2. Exam 3 has long, challenging problems that cause students to struggle and lower their exam grade average.
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Mignerey sources her exam questions, what she emphasizes, and what she excludes from your textbook.
Learning is self-directed as students tend not to watch the online lectures posted by Dr. Mignerey. I'll clearly explain chem concepts, and teach you strategies to answer exam questions fast and accurately.
In Fall 2020, she posted 1 old exam for CHEM 135 and CHEM 271. If you tutor with me I will provide you the past 10 semesters worth of pre-online and online exams to study.
