Student Feedback & Testimonials

Julie is so dedicated to helping my son with Organic Chemistry. There is no question that without her he would really have struggled. She takes it as her mission to help the student succeed. A+++!!!

Julie went over Chapter 1 of my General Chemistry textbook in detail with me. She explained everything I was unsure of and had analogies to help do that. She also recorded the session, so I can re-listen to it to reinforce what we went over.

Julie was a life saver. She helped my daughter to prepare for her chemistry test. Specifically they covered the (1) Bohr model of the atom, (2) Moving an electron from ground state to excited state, (3) and taking in / giving off energy in the form of a photon, light energy packet. I would highly recommend her; she was responsive, proactive, organized, and explained everything clearly!

We reached out to Julie during my freshman daughters 3rd week in college for help with Principles of Chem. She was overwhelmed, lost and struggling while falling behind. Julie immediately began working with her and soon after the results began. Increase in understanding the subject, better grades and confidence in herself. Julie’s approach to the instruction was to actively speak with my daughter, learn her assignments and what she needed help with. I know Julie is engaged and wants success for her students. Her feedback was welcomed and appreciated. She will be our go to for the next 4+ years with the sciences in the pre-health field!

Still working with Julie, and I currently have an A in the class, got a 95 on my last test! My past Chemistry experience, I had little to no knowledge, I had Chemistry doing COVID and struggled. With her, I’ve been able to get ahead and prep for the summer and I’m thriving!!

Julie makes sure that you understand the core fundamentals before delving into complex topics. Additionally, she creates a comfortable environment to ask questions, especially any from a textbook. I highly recommend her for Organic Chem I. With her help, I made an A last semester!

Julie is by far one of the most amazing tutors my son has had. My son is taking a Summer Organic Chemistry Class that is fast-paced. She has helped him maintain an A in this summer class. On a recent test, the class average was 60, and he earned an A. Julie is fantastic! I recommend that you trust her tutoring process as she teaches fundamentals and concepts needed to ensure my soon successful Ace all of his quizzes and tests. Julie will request the syllabus to understand concepts required for each quiz and test and know the coursebook. Julie is exceptionally patient, and knowledgeable ensuring that she uses different methods to ensure my son understands. She also is understanding and very flexible, and accommodating. If you want your child or you want to succeed in a challenging curriculum, I strongly encourage you to book Julie. She has a special gift.

She makes very hard concept easy to understand. Helped me get an A in honors organic chemistry this semester! I always understand my assignments and she always helps me stay ahead of my work!

Julie was a great and friendly tutor who maintained excellent communication in scheduling lessons and was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. She never hesitated to explain anything I had difficulty understanding and walk me through any processes I was missing.

She makes sure you understand everything and doesn’t move on until you do. She is also so very patient and answers all questions asked. She also makes it fun to learn and keeps you engaged throughout the entire tutoring session. Best tutor I have ever had.

Julie S. is the best tutor that I have ever worked with. Being a student at a university that is known to have some of the most challenging chemistry courses, Julie helped me ace general and organic chemistry with flying colors. She explains everything really well and makes complex topics easy to understand and master. I am forever grateful to have found Julie on Wyzant's platform because she is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for help with chemistry classes. Thank you so much for everything, Julie!! :)

Julie really helped me to understand the basic and fundamental principles of organic chemistry. She was very clear, and helpful. 10/10 recommend!

Julie S. was able to help me understand organic chemistry on a whole different level. Made sure to go back to the basics so I was able to understand everything. Great tutor and really helps you get a good grasp at the material.

Took first chemistry course (gen. chem) and couldn’t understand it. Julie broke everything down and made the subject doable instead of impossible. Chemistry is so not my major and some concepts were doubly harder for  me to get but Julie definitely helped me keep it all together.

Fantastic tutor! She is extremely knowledgeable about everything in Chemistry!  She simplifies homework, and she explains the concepts behind problems not just the answers!

Had a session with Julie to get ready for my organic chemistry mid-terms. She gave me the confidence and tools necessary to feel great about my test. She is thorough, patient and cares about the performance abilities of her students.

Would recommend!! Julie is very helpful and is helping me stay on track with course material. She is very informative and patient and accommodating. Very grateful I found her

Julie S. breaks down the concepts and makes things easier to understand and digest. Excellent teaching principles and examples. Gives feedback to ensure I am understanding all the definitions and materials.

Thank you so much for all your help! I had a late night last minute need to have help with a chemistry lab project and Julie was able to help me! It was easy to do and I got the project done.

She is helping me get thru and understand chemistry 2. Chemistry has never been my best subject and have always struggled with this subject but working with Julie has been a blast and I've been doing better than I've expected.

Julie helped me clarify stereochemistry in a way that my professor never explained. I went into my test feeling prepared and confident. She makes herself available to answer any last minute questions, and she will continue to explain concepts until she is certain you master them. I highly recommend her!

Julie helped to explain calorimetry and thermochemistry to me. I enjoyed how she was able to explain the topics in a simple and straightforward way while incorporating problems into her explanation. Julie was friendly and informative. I look forward to working with her again.

Julie is excellent at all matters pertaining to the study of Chemistry. Most important when tutoring with Julie it is evident she loves the subject and sincerely wants to help her students gain an understanding.

Julie is a fantastic tutor for many reasons. She is willing to take the time online to explain subjects in detail. She really explains things clearly very thoroughly with room for questions whenever there is confusion. She is great with working with example problems and explains what is going on in the problem not just the answer. Her experience is wonderful  with 20+ years of tutoring experience, it really shows. She 100% knows what she’s doing and it's great to find a tutor that is comfortable with the subject the are invested in. Julie is not only a fantastic tutor but she knows her stuff. She used different technologies to tutor me in a  way that we could write and share problems even though it was all online. She tutored me in organic chemistry which in my opinion is a tough subject, so I was fairly nervous and intimidated. But Julie worked with me at a good pace twice a week and before I knew it the anxiety melted away. Not only is she great at this but she’s a very nice,  patient person willing to work around people's schedules. With a good sense of humor she brings a lot more than just tutoring to the table, she makes learning the subject enjoyable. I really recommend Julie to anyone looking for some chemistry help.

Julie is very knowledgeable and can explain things in many different ways. She is friendly, patient, upbeat and kind. I enjoy every session and would be lost without her.

Julie was simply amazing, she is excellent at taking chemistry concepts that confound and putting them into examples that easy to understand. If you have any difficulty with chemistry, setting up problems or understanding the concept Julie can't be beat!

Julie was amazing! She was incredibly encouraging and she wants to help you succeed! I went into our organic chemistry tutoring session hoping she  wouldn't think I was dumb or didn't know enough, and not once did I feel bad for not knowing a simple answer. She has a very flexible schedule and is on time when it's time for your lesson. Another great thing she does is, after your lesson, she will save all of the notes she wrote and email them to you so you can review even more. She helped me actually understand the problems instead of just memorizing. She also let me know that if I had any other questions she would be happy to help. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help with organic chemistry. So thankful I found her!

When I needed assistance with the Chemistry portion of the PCAT, Julie was  there to help.  In the tutoring sessions I had with her I was able to refresh my knowledge and pick up a few tips and new strategies to take into the test with me. Her hours are very flexible, and the online tutoring I did went very smoothly. Julie is energetic and makes learning the material easy due to her vast knowledge and ability to explain difficult topics very well. I highly recommend Julie as a tutor and a person!

For somebody being out of school for 25 years, Julie made Chemistry fun and easy to engage. All the formulas and practical applications came back to me and she also helped me with the algebra!!! I’ve found that in order to teach a subject, you must be excited about your subject and Solutions Tutoring is all of that!!!!! Solutions Tutoring is Totally Committed to Helping You Succeed!!!

Julie was a Godsend for me in undergrad chemistry, Inorganic and Organic (I  even pestered her a bit in Biochemistry). She was able to help me understand concepts that I had difficulty with, presenting the concept in a different light when needed. However, the reason that she excels at teaching is that she can see where weaknesses arise and help ‘fix the foundation’ so that future concepts are easier to grasp, MAKE SENSE, and are therefore more intuitive and easier to recall.

 Julie was a life saver! I really struggled with Organic Chemistry.  She spent hours with me every week making sure I understood the concepts. She had so many tricks to put abstract things into real examples that made sense. Without her, I know I wouldn't be a pharmacist today!

 Julie Smith was an integral part of my education success, reinforcing concepts learned at school, then extending it with many examples and ensuring it was mastered with challenging problem sets and impromptu quizzes. Julie’s experience teaching inorganic and organic chemistry was obvious and such an asset, the little hints and tips made learning  more difficult concepts easier and faster. To top it off, Julie’s teaching style was enjoyable, bringing out a laugh every now and then (which is not easy when discussing chemistry!). I know future students have the ability to do just as well, if not better, under the guidance of such a fantastic teacher.
