I started tutoring because I was barely keeping up in orgo. After a few sessions, I went from feeling completely lost to actually being able to work through problems on my own and actually understanding the problem sets instead of using the answer keys the whole time.

I improved by almost a full letter grade after I started tutoring!!!!! The sessions were always focused on exactly what I needed help with, and instead of just repeating lecture we went through my lecture notes in a way that actually helped me understand them. Idk why all professors don’t teach like Matt!!
