Feedback From Joy’s Past Students:

 

“You’re conscientious which is really good for tutoring. You’re paying attention to all these small details… I think all that actually matters.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2024

 

“It is so much better to start off tutoring with you than drowning. When I came to you after Exam 2 I was literally drowning.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Spring 2022

 

“For Diels-Alder problems, I used your numbering method and did it literally in 10 seconds. It’s so quick now, I can’t even explain to you how much that helped.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2018

 

“I’ve been at this for hours and you did it in 5 minutes. Your method is a lot easier and puts me in a good place.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2021

 

“You’re all about efficiency and getting things done fast before the professor teaches the material. Seriously, I wish I knew about you during Exam 2 when I went home sick and fell behind.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 1035, Fall 2022

 

“I’ll definitely tutor with you throughout the semester. I don’t want to go through other tutors – I like what you give me!”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Fall 2020

 

“Oh my god, you’re the first tutor that’s given me worksheets, past exams keys, and a binder. With your method, I learn really well and everything is concise, clear cut, and color-coded.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2022

 

“I literally feel better already. My class notes look like a foreign language to me and don’t give me details like you do. You clearly lay out ‘Oxidation means this…’ and ‘Reduction means this…’ I learn better 1-on-1 with you.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Fall 2019

 

“I’m getting everything so this is a miracle. I work a lot better with your 1-page summary sheets. I’ve tried reading the textbook and it’s just a messy confusion.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Fall 2019

 

“I like your step-by-step method because that way I can figure it out in my head. You go fast but the steps are right there so I can follow really easily. Just having it step-by-step is important for me.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Fall 2022

 

“I can’t tell you how confident I walked in and out of that last exam. And how prepared I feel for this final because I know what to expect. You’ve done so much to help me with everything.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2021

 

“Most kids, once they finish Chem, won’t remember any of this 5 years from now. But with the lessons we had, I feel that I will remember.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2019

 

“I’m willing to privately tutor with you because I don’t want to waste time trying school resources, where they can’t fit within my schedule. We have an understanding where you tell me: ‘this is what we need to focus on, the other stuff is just fluff.'”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Spring 2018

 

“You’re really good at drawing it out and showing it. I need to see it drawn out the way you do – I’m not as good when they’re just telling me stuff. I saw your flowchart for Sn1 Sn2 E2 and E1 and those were really helpful.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Spring 2021

 

“I see there is a pattern that you can recognize – thank you for showing me because I had no idea what I was doing before today’s tutoring session.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2021

 

“If there ever was a fire in my apartment, we would take our Orgo tutoring notes first…I’m never giving them up.”

“I just wanted to let you know that I was recently accepted to my top choice nursing school – Mass General in Boston!! Thank you so much for always being an amazing tutor, you’ve really helped me so much and I just wanted to thank you!”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2536, Spring 2017

 

“Your hybridization cheat sheet was so helpful. Your way of organization is much better theoretically and manually compared to our chem 1 lab manual.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Spring 2024

 

“I can sit and do problems by myself, and feel way more confident than I did before. Thank you so much for tutoring me!”

“You’re literally saving my college career helping me get through Orgo!”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Spring 2024

 

“You teach in a simpler way than when my professor says it with big words and throws me off. I mess up a lot with practice problems, but I get it way better when you re-teach me with 1 by 1 steps like ‘just do this, just do that.'”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Fall 2022

 

“Thank god you tutor me, because otherwise I would not be doing well in Orgo. I would be so lost and not even know where to begin.”
– Tutoring for VT CHEM 2535, Spring 2024
