Mike
BU 2023 | BU Med (MD) 2027
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 platform I have dedicated nearly all my free time to tutoring, pre-med mentoring, summer bootcamps, and social media content to help all of you reach your goals! Outside of my medical school duties, I'm likely at the gym or making content. I look forward to working with you!
Justin
BU 2023 | Quinnipiac Med (MD) 2029
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 medical student with an interest in interventional cardiology.
Nadja
BU 2023 | Mizzou Med (MD) 2029
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.
Tamar
BU 2027 | BU Med (MD) 2031
Hi! I'm Tamar, and I am currently studying human physiology at BU as an undergraduate student. I had the privilege of working as a Learning Assistant for the general chemistry department at BU, as well as assisting in teaching a preparatory summer organic chemistry course at BU! I have been tutoring AP sciences and maths for over three years now at the high school level as well. Having recently taken these courses (general chemistry, organic chemistry, cell biology, biochemistry, etc.), I know firsthand how frustrating it can be when hard subjects don't click right away! I always aim to explain ideas step by step and adjust to each of my students' learning styles :) My goal is to help you not only improve performance, but also feel more confident tackling challenging questions alone! I am currently accepted into BU's medical school!
Arjun
Arjun Verma, Ph.D. | Clarkson University
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.
Simon
Simon Spark, Ph.D. | UC Davis
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.

“I absolutely recommend tutoring from Tamar! After one session I got a clearer understanding of the content overall. Everyone I've worked with is highly competent in teaching any unit.”
“This tutoring service is the best one I have ever tried. I was immensely helped with content review and holistic understanding of various topics such as general and organic chemistry, aswell as many topics covered on the MCAT. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of these difficult, yet crucial topics.”
“I would highly recommend using GeneralChemistry.org! Michael was extremely helpful and knew the material really well: he gives you tricks for approaching certain problems and makes you do a ton of practice.”
“Michael truly loves to teach and cares about his students learning and understanding each subject he covers. He explains complicated material in an extremely digestible way that makes you remember it long term. I've used Michael for Orgo and MCAT tutoring and I truly don't know what I would do without him!”
“Mike was incredibly patient and understanding, no matter how many times I had to redo the same problem. I would 100% recommend getting tutoring from Mike for the best support during such a difficult academic time.”
“Mike is a wonderful tutor, and I would definitely recommend his tutoring services! I learned a lot from him, and he definitely helped me succeed in my general and organic chemistry classes.”
“Mike made general chemistry the least stressful it could have been. He breaks down tough topics into simple steps and really helped me understand the material. I saw improvement after his tutoring and would not have received the grades that I did without his help!”
“I had Mike tutor me for two years as a pre-med student at Boston University. My grades DRASTICALLY improved and my overall ability to understand the professors' teaching styles became easier. Mike also was a perfect example of balance and showed me the importance of having life in & out of school.”
“I've had help from Mike and Justin with both high school and college level chemistry, and thanks to them, my confidence with chemistry has improved so much. They explain complex concepts in a way that make sense, and they are incredibly knowledgable and prepared.”
“Mike is a phenomenal tutor who really helped me understand challenging material and succeed in my class. He is also a great guy who I would highly recommend.”
“Mike is an amazing teacher who really breaks down the concepts in a way that lets you understand them beyond memorization. He also ensures you can apply the information by providing many practice problems so you can reinforce the concepts. Really helped me learn the content.”
“Amazing help as a premed. Mike matched me with an amazing tutor. He explained everything, was organized, and extremely helpful. Definitely recommend!!”
