Hi guys! My name is Mike Quinn, founder of generalchemistry.org. Over the past 6 years I have worked with countless students for 2,000+ hours of tutoring! If you're struggling with Gen-Chem, Orgo, or the MCAT, I'm your guy. As a current medical student, I know how hard this journey can be. Trust me, I was once in your shoes. Since starting this pl...

Mike is a phenomenal tutor !! He breaks down difficult gen chem topics into bite-sized pieces and creates super funny mnemonics to ensure true comprehension. He goes above and beyond in each lesson, which is broken up into 3 main parts: learning/understanding the content, being taught how to solve questions, and then solving practice problems on your own. I've never met someone more passionate about gen chem and his enthusiasm is contagious ! If you are looking for real improvement in your grade, ability to understand content, and solve problems independently, Mike is your guy !

I graduated from Boston University in 2023 with a B.A. in Biology. I've been teaching General Chemistry for over five years, working as a Teaching Assistant during undergrad and as a tutor after graduating. I know how hard chemistry can be, but after working with hundreds of students I'm here to help you get the grade you want! Currently a 1st-year...

I worked with Justin and I had a great experience! I had multiple calls with Justin throughout last semester for help in general chemistry 1 and I really recommend using this as a service to succeed and boost understanding!

Six years as a teaching assistant for general chemistry at BU, including one year as Head TA. Involved in chemical education research and comfortable sharing evidence-based strategies to help you succeed. I truly enjoy working with students and understand that each student has their own unique learning style and needs.

Mike and Nadja are the absolute best!!! All thanks to them, I was able to earn an A in General Chemistry and even over a 100% on my final! They are so patient when going over difficult topics and truly care about you as a student. They are both so knowledgeable about every single topic and explain everything so well that chemistry actually turned out to be one of the classes I did the best in and felt most confident in. They are some of the best tutors I have ever had and I can't recommend them enough!

Ph.D. in Physics at Clarkson University with a 4.0 GPA. I've been helping college students with physics for over eight years and was lucky enough to earn teaching awards, including one for having a 4.9/5 student rating. I try to keep things simple and conversational — my goal is to break it down in a way that actually makes sense.

Organic Chemistry

Ph.D. in Chemistry (Organic) from UC Davis. Associate Instructor in Organic Chemistry, head TA for General and Organic Chemistry, and TA for graduate level Organic Chemistry. 5+ years of tutoring experience. I approach teaching with a growth mindset and the belief that any student can learn and master chemistry.

Mike and Simon were amazing tutors for Organic Chemistry. They explained difficult concepts in a clear, simple way and were always patient and encouraging. They really took the time to make sure I understood the material instead of just memorizing it. Thanks to them, I felt much more confident going into exams. I highly recommend Mike and Simon to anyone struggling with orgo!

Best tutoring service for science students! Mike helped me find a tutor for Orgo who was a total lifesaver. They made the material so much easier to digest, and I saw a huge improvement in my grades immediately. 5 stars all the way for anyone looking to ace their science courses.

I followed up with Mike after I stumbled across his IG reel. They are very informative for a 1st generation immigrant parents who has no idea about how medical school prep works in US. He was very responsive to my message and we discussed options for my daughter.

My tutor was amazing. He really helped me understand the concepts and material, and taught it to me in a way that was simple to understand but still at the level of the course. In general this service was really helpful. I will definitely be using them again!

Gabriel Klein

My experience with Mike was wonderful— I'd give it 6/5 stars if I could. I went into the summer absolutely terrified of general chemistry due to a combination of everything I had heard and my fall professor's incredibly low RMP score— it was Mike who helped me feel confident and prepared.

Mike and Nadja are the absolute best!!! All thanks to them, I was able to earn an A in General Chemistry and even over a 100% on my final! They are so patient when going over difficult topics and truly care about you as a student. They are also both so willing to make time to help even with their busy schedules which I really appreciate as a busy college student. They are both so knowledgeable about every single topic and explain everything so well that chemistry actually turned out to be one of the classes I did the best in and felt most confident in. They are some of the best tutors I have ever had and I can't recommend them enough!

As a college student on a pre-dental path, this is the best tutoring for general chemistry and organic. The concepts are explained very thoroughly and effective. They made sure I not just knew how to memorize a reaction or predict products, but truly understood the underlying concepts.

As a rising first year pre-med student, I was very clueless on how to plan and prepare for my first year in college. I wanted to maximize my success as a pre-med student, and achieve a strong GPA, secure a clinical position, and have strong extracurriculars. Mike helped me navigate all of this.
