Seth C. from Lavon, TX I took a Gen Chem 2 class during a summer semester and Bruce taught me the subject matter better than my college professor and was far more patient. I learned more from him in the 2-3 hour sessions we would have than an entire week's worth of information from my very ineffective professor. Thanks alot Bruce.

Brandon G. from Denton, TX Bruce is a great tutor, he took me from a C to an A. He is very flexible, he was willing to arrange his schedule for my success. He never missed an appointment. He really knows his stuff and I am lucky to have found him as a tutor. PS. He loves Dirk Nowinski and the Mavs!

Raya K. from Allen, TX Mr. H helped my niece with her Algebra II class which she was struggling with. I found him to be courteous and always on time. I also observed that he takes his time to explain the solution to the student not just provide answers and tries to teach the correct techniques for solving these problems which is what we needed. My niece was amazed how patient Mr. H was with her and thanks him for all his help. I would recommend this tutor to anyone who is struggling with math.

E P. from Plano, TX I took Gen Chem II at a university and was struggling a lot during the first half of the semester but after having weekly sessions with Bruce, he showed me how to go step by step for every problem and showed me how to solve multi-step problems easily. If you are struggling with Gen Chem I or Gen Chem II at a university I would definitely recommend Bruce as he is very knowledgeable in the subject area and can help you with problems easily!

Lauren B. from Dallas, TX Bruce tutored my child throughout the year in Pre-AP Chemistry. He was always prepared, patient and flexible. The sessions increased my child's confidence in Chemistry, and he ended the year with a great grade. Bruce is dedicated to helping students and was a pleasure to work with.

Susan F. from Richardson, TX Bruce worked with my son on Pre-AP Algebra II for the past seven months. During that time, he spent many hours going over specific problems and the steps needed to solve them. Showing my son how to break down the steps of each problem was very beneficial to him. Bruce was patient and thorough in his explanations and because of that, my son's problem solving strategies greatly improved, and he was able to finish the school year on a positive note. Bruce was also always professional in his approach, well-prepared, and was always on time for his twice-a-week sessions with us. Both my son and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Troy C. from Dallas, TX I was very happy with my tutoring experience with Bruce. He guided me through the second semester of organic chemistry in a fast-pace summer school session!! After having struggled through the first summer semester of o-chem on my own, I decided to seek help for the second semester. Bruce knows his stuff in chemistry! He was patient, took the time to teach me, and followed my lead as to what I thought I needed to study. I would definitely use him again for future science classes and highly recommend him to other students. Don't struggle through alone -- call Bruce and enjoy his guidance and calm teaching style.

Monica U. from Plano, TX I highly recommend Bruce for math and chemistry tutoring! He is extremely accommodating, patient and knowledgeable. I needed a dual math and chemistry tutor for the PCAT examination. This exam is the pharmacy school entrance exam and the testing material had basic to organic chemistry, algebra 1, 2, pre-calculus and calculus 1. Bruce taught me the "unit factor method" along with test taking strategies. Since the calculator is not allowed, he helped me figure out problems the most efficient way to save time and whenever I felt a problem was too tough to solve, Bruce would guide me through it rather than tell me the answer. He is a professional and if anyone wants to master math or chemistry, he is the tutor to select.

Dan C. from Allen, TX Bruce was prompt, efficient, and thoroughly knowledgeable. He brought our daughter up to speed on her Algebra and Geometry for an SAT retest and she did better the second time around.

Krissy H. from Sachse, TX He knew his stuff and his intellectualism is obvious. But I found him impatient and he made me feel belittled when I did not understand something. At times he seemed quite boastful. One time I came to meet him and he told me about how he got a job offer prior to meeting me but had to cancel to meet with me. He made it clear he would have rather not met me, although it's not like he's meeting me for free. He has also bragged about how he is one of the highest in demand tutors from this site. My experience was not great with him. Although he helped me get my work done, at times I would leave in tears because he made me feel so intimidated and dumb. He has had great reviews, maybe because he is used to working with students that already know their stuff. I have been struggling and I am not up to par or pace with other students. That is why I sought out a tutor in the first place, because my needs weren't just that I needed help with my work. I needed help understanding the material. He could have adapted to my needs or tried to understand that maybe I was a different student on a level he was not used to. Everyone works differently and he just wasn't the right fit for me. If you already understand material from class and just need help with problems then he's good for that, but if you, like me, kind of need someone to reteach you things, then he is definitely not someone I would recommend.

Nikhil G. from Allen, TX Bruce taught Chemistry to my son who's in Junior High this year. My son found a new interest in Chemistry after he started having regular weekly classes with Bruce since the past 6 months, and improved his class grades as well. He's appearing in the AP Chemistry exams next week and targeting a "5". I'd recommend Bruce for High School Chemistry tutoring and wish him all the best in life.

Nailya N. from Dallas, TX Dr. Bruce tutored my daughter for eight months in AP Chemistry. It is a very challenging course. I was lucky to find Dr. Bruce. If you need an AP Chemistry tutor he is the one. He is able to explain to her in a way that she is able to understand and has provided excellent visuals as well. He is very knowledgeable and works to find out what concepts my daughter doesn't understand. My daughter has made amazing progress in chemistry in just a couple of months. Thank you Dr. Bruce.

Deborah D. from Richardson, TX My son enjoys a challenge, but his first grades in PreAP Algebra 2 and Chemistry put him at risk of failing both courses. I selected Dr. Bruce to tutor my son because as a high school algebra and chemistry substitute teacher, Dr. Bruce has full access to current curriculum materials and schedules. When Dr. Bruce began tutoring my son, he first assessed my son?s knowledge of both courses. Dr. Bruce then reviewed critical concepts my son had missed in class. They worked together to ensure my son?s understanding of these foundation concepts before moving on. As Dr. Bruce makes clear in just one of his tutoring sessions, he likes to first take a small piece of the troubled section in algebra or chemistry and then breaks down that section, stressing the importance of each part; which my son found to be very effective to his understanding of the material. My son asked questions of Dr. Bruce which he did not feel comfortable discussing in class. He was able to take his time and work through problems, complete homework, and prepare for test during tutoring. Dr. Bruce was always aware of testing schedules and upcoming curriculum topics. This was very helpful to me, because my son was so focused on trying to keep up; he often missed important pieces of information. Dr. Bruce takes his job as a tutor very seriously. He was always on time, always prepared, finished on time, was flexible when needed, and was straight forward about my son?s progress. When it comes to learning there is no magic, just hard work and effort. With Dr. Bruce?s help, my son can now move on to subjects which accentuate his talents with the proven knowledge that when challenged with subjects difficult for him, he can be successful.

Marcia L. from Carrollton, TX Bruce tutored my daughter in AP Chemistry for most of the past school year. He was always punctual and prepared for each lesson. I also need to mention that he is "Mr. High Energy." My daughter is also very focused and desires to learn. With both of them working together, she was able to get a 780 on her Chemistry SAT Subject Test and a 5 on her AP Chemistry Exam. I would recommend Bruce for his dedication and his commitment to his students' success.

R M. from Coppell, TX I worked with Bruce for my Gen Chem II. I must say he is very very strong with the subject matter. He is thorough and is extremely professional. Every Chapter in Gen Chem II demands strong grasp of the concepts that will be put to full use in solving problems. Bruce's strong Math background also comes in very handy when solving problems. All his years of teaching college level really shines through during the tutoring sessions. He will give you additional information about the subject matter sometimes that will be both interesting and will come in extremely handy during exam prep. I completely recommend Bruce for College Chemistry. I will however add, that to get the full benefit of his tutoring sessions, the student MUST do his/her homework prior to each session. It is best to go in knowing exactly where your problem areas are so Bruce can work with you on that. In other words, you can tap into Bruce's expertise in Chemistry better by letting him know where exactly you need help rather than going through the whole chapter with him and letting him figure it out for you.

Lauren B. from Dallas, TX I needed help for general chemistry and he helped me immensely. He's very great a making you understand the material and providing examples to help you learn. Give him a call and he'll work around your schedule. He was very helpful and knew all about the mastering chemistry online software. I'm coming to him for help with organic chemistry 2!

Tatiana K. from Flower Mound, TX Bruce H. is a rare find. He is very knowledgeable in such a difficult subject as organic chemistry, but even more importantly, he fosters great enthusiasm for the subject. He always brings and shows articles about chemistry and its many applications. He explains clearly and in detail all concepts and logic. In particular, many concepts from general chemistry are critical to understanding organic chemistry, and Bruce knows which ideas are important and has a talent for teaching them and how they apply. Further, Bruce is very flexible and tries to accommodate your needs. When we needed extra time, he was always willing, even if it meant coming at very early or late hours, even on weekends. He is always very punctual, and you can always rely on him coming on time. He helped my son improve his grades and maintain the higher grades throughout the year they worked together. My son finished Organic chemistry 1 and 2 at UTD with excellent grades. I highly recommend Bruce H. for anybody who needs tutoring in any chemistry subject.

Larisa S. from Frisco, TX Mr. H tutored me for a year in chemistry and algebra. He is an excellent teacher who taught me material through several methods such as: working through the problem, presenting different problems about the same topic, and going into depth as to why certain answers are wrong and why one is right. He thoroughly explained the topic in a way that was easy to understand while making it so that I would learn as much he could teach me. I would definitely use Mr. H?s tutoring services.

Katie P. from Richardson, TX Dr. Bruce tutored my daughter in high school Honors Chemistry for the entire second semester (Jan-May 2014) portion of a full year course. She had been having significant struggles in the course for a variety of reasons. However, she is an A student and has not had the need for a tutor in any subjects before. Our decision to hire Dr. Bruce allowed her to turn the corner and ultimately make an A in the course. This was a major feat given how lost she was in the subject matter when they started. Dr. Bruce is extremely well versed in, and clearly has a passion for, the subject of Chemistry, but I?m sure that likely can be said about many tutors. I believe the difference maker is that Dr. Bruce has many qualities that allow the student-tutor relationship to work. Most importantly, Dr. Bruce lets the student drive the content to be discussed, in whatever level of detail is needed, and however much repetition is needed for the concepts to sink in. For example, one session might focus on a lab or homework assignment, while another may focus on an upcoming test. Dr. Bruce comes to each session well prepared. He brings and references many teaching aids throughout the session, helping to reinforce concepts. Obviously, it helps for the student to be prepared prior to each session beginning, and I did make sure my daughter studied and prepared her questions before each session to get the most out of it. Other qualities worthy of note are Dr. Bruce?s flexibility such as extending a session longer than the scheduled time, scheduling additional sessions during finals, rescheduling (as student?s demands are constantly changing), etc. Additionally, he is very patient with the student when repetition is required. And, I believe he is able to break complex topics down to their fundamentals, individualized to the student?s needs. And, to repeat myself, the additional teaching aids he provides are invaluable. All in all, Dr. Bruce was a great help to my daughter. I believe he is quite concerned about the student?s overall success and sincerely wants to do what he can to help them succeed. If my daughter continues with higher-level Chemistry course work, and she needs assistance to ace the subject matter, I wouldn't hesitate to use Dr. Bruce again.

Kyung K. from Frisco, TX I have been taking general chemistry lessons with Dr.H for about 2 months in preparation for general chemistry courses at college and found the lessons helpful. He helped me refresh topics from AP Chemistry I took in my junior year of high school as well as delving deeper into some of the main topics. I mainly reviewed important general chem topics that pertain to organic chemistry that I will have to take in sophomore year of college and Dr.H has done a nice job teaching and relating critical general chem topics to organic chemistry. He gave a lot of organic chemistry examples as it relate to general chem topics being covered as well as providing practical applications of some of the topics. Dr.H was always punctual and has been a reliable teacher.

Venkat B. from Plano, TX This is our second session with Dr. Bruce starting with Organic Chemistry I and now II. He is such a wonderful teacher who knows the subject and the student before he starts the session. He evaluates the student's knowledge of the subject and plans the classes accordingly. His sessions are based on the curriculum, which almost matches what the school teaches. I strongly recommend him.
