Melanie N. from San Jose, CA My son was struggling with AP Chem in the 2nd semester. Ms. Julie started tutoring my son in February. By the end of April, my son grade improved to A-. Thanks Ms. Julie for your patience and dedication.

Rommel C. from Hayward, CA Julie tutored my son in AP Chemistry. She is an expert on the subject matter. She is methodical in her approach and adjusted her style of teaching to my son's way of learning. On her first visit, she helped my son understand the areas that were confusing to him in school. She breaks out the concepts in small parts in a way that can be easily understood. She came once a week yet follows through on each assignment and course work during the week. She helps develop discipline and got my son used to presenting step by step calculation rather than just the final calculation. She gives a good amount of homework. She is generous with her knowledge and even provided insight on SAT. Her first goal is to make sure the kid learns. She works hard to make sure that every penny spent is worth it. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a tutor. She is also a very nice person. She cares and that is important! After her tutoring, my son became confident with his knowledge that he plans to take Chemistry for his SAT subject test in addition to Math. 5 stars to Julie.

Milind D. from San Jose, CA Julie removed the fear of Chemistry from my daughter's mind. Julie pushed her to work hard. Initially my daughter did not like that but as she saw the test results improve, she loved it. Julie was well prepared - she came with models, supporting material, additional test problems. She was always on time, and accommodated schedule changes easily. I highly recommend her.

Kevin G. from Sunnyvale, CA My son is taking Chemistry Honors at an elite private high school. Julie has helped him tremendously, preparing him for tests and stepping through complex topics. Since he began working with Julie, he has increased his course grade level and understanding of chemistry. Julie is an expert in chemistry and has an ability to explain complex scientific concepts. She tracks the chemistry curriculum of local public and private area high schools and knows the key concepts students need to grasp in order to do well. She is conscientious and on time. I definitely recommend her for tutoring Honors or AP level chemistry.

LISA W. from Los Altos, CA My child was interested in self-studying for the AP exam, but thought it would be helpful to get in one or two sessions for an overview. Julie was magnificently prepared with curriculum materials, websites, and pertinent study topics. She was able to answer any question my child had. We highly recommend her.

Brian W. from Sunnyvale, CA She really is a chemist by training and knows her stuff! She wants every student to do very well and to get excited about the field. She is genuinely interested in the progress of student. She will assign and review extra problem sets, and even make time for extra sessions if she sees a deficiency. She is accessible by email for additional questions. Our son had a very demanding and confusing teacher, and she rose to this challenge.

Krishna S. from Salinas, CA Julie is a superb AP Chemistry tutor with uncommon teaching techniques. While simplifying complex concepts, she separates the important from mundane, and inculcates in the students a quiet sense of confidence. This confidence allows the students to do exceptionally well in the classroom that in turn feeds their confidence on the AP exam. While being gentle, she also is a tough task master. I am not sure who suggested her as a tutor but I am in their debt. All in all, an exceptional find. Thank you, Julie.

Viresh P. from Fremont, CA Not reliable. She came one hour late first time, and second time she did not even show up. We were waiting for her for tutoring on Sunday, and she did not show up, even though we called her few times. She did not even answer.

Margie K. from Mountain View, CA Julie tutored my son for his honors chemistry class. During the handful of sessions he had with Julie, she was able to explain and clarify the more challenging concepts that were confusing to him. In addition, she would follow-up immediately with additional information and sample questions to build on the tutoring session. Julie was always on time and well-prepared to begin each session. I would highly recommend her for those requiring tutoring in chemistry.

Ping Z. from Cupertino, CA My daughter has skipped her 9th grade Bio Class and jumped into Chem class this year. At the beginning it was quite a challenge for her because her teacher is very demanding and she doesn't seem to grasp the ideas the teacher was trying to convey. Julie has spent some time with my daughter and after a month and half my daughter's confidence level has significantly improved and her understanding of Chem concepts has improved significantly. Of course, so has her performance in the class. We are really happy about the work Julie has done. Thanks Julie!!

Nira R. from Saratoga, CA Julie has been tutoring my son for the last month or so in chemistry honors. He says she's a great teacher and explains things in a very clear, simple way. She's always on time and is very professional. She seems to truly care about my sons progress. We're very happy with her and I'm hoping my son will get a good grade in this class.
