Dr. Wang's Exam Style

Most orgo exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.

Dr. Wang is a genuinely nice person who wants to see his students succeed. For example, he is known to personally congratulate students in-person who jump 2 letter grades on the next exam.

His exams always contain a Wittig Mechanism and Intramolecular Claisen which tend to be worth a lot of points. The reason why I can state this online is because it’s seared into my memory from my tutoring experience with students in his class. Tutor 1-on-1 with me to find out which other reactions he favors!

Students have the ability to get an A or jump two (2) letter grades in this class by beating the curve with 2 standard deviations above the average, IF they practice all the old exams going back 3.5 semesters.

Avoid Distractions

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

Ask Questions

Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.

Don’t Cram

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

Why Tutor with Me for Dr. Wang's CHEM 237?

Focus on What's "Actually" Tested - I emphasize topics that I know have been historically tested on in your class during our sessions. I'll reinforce really important subjects that you'll need to know to pass your exams and get your desired grade.

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

Supplemental Learning- Dr. Wang has a thick accent, which can make [[her/him//them]] hard to understand sometimes. As long as students make the effort to keep up with the textbook they’ll understand what he is trying to say and I'll help facilitate that learning.

Curated Videos- Tutor with me to watch my videos specific to Dr. Wang’s curriculum. This will help you keep on top of his material and understand everything in lecture with Dr. Wang.
