My Chem Mentor is one PhD chemist working with you directly. Not a rotating roster, not a marketplace, not a chatbot. The same person every session, who learns how you think and builds the help around it.
Live, virtual sessions on the exact course you're taking: general chemistry, organic chemistry, and the topics inside them that tend to break people. You work real problems with me on a shared whiteboard, in the formats your exams actually use. High school and university students are both welcome.
University students
For college students who want more than a passing grade: a coach who helps you plan your courses, choose a direction, and build toward the career you're actually after. Chemistry is where it starts. It's rarely where it ends.
Structured courses that get you ready before the semester starts, or back on track in the middle of it. General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, built as prep or review and priced per course rather than per hour.
You are not short on chemistry resources. Here is what each one does for you, and where I come in.
The drop-in tutoring centerFree and on campus. It also hands you a different face every week, so nobody there has seen your last exam.
YouTubeEndless explanations of the general case. None of them are built around the course you are actually enrolled in.
AIFine for a quick definition. It hands you a solution and skips the part where you learn to solve the next one on your own.
Professor office hoursThe right place to go first. In a lecture built for three hundred people, they also fill in ten minutes.
Study groupsGood for staying on schedule. Harder to use when everyone at the table is stuck on the same step you are.
A PhD chemist who can see where you are stuckNot just that an answer was wrong, but which idea underneath it broke, and in what order to fix it.
Strategies that fit how you learnA coach who builds the study methods around the way you actually think, instead of handing you someone else's system.
The same coach across semestersOne person holds the full picture: the class you are in, the exam that is coming, and what you are aiming at after it. The help compounds because the relationship does.
Prep aimed at the exam you are takingYou work real problems with me on a shared whiteboard, in the formats your exams actually use.
Career coaching past the courseHelp planning your courses, choosing a direction, and building toward the career you are actually after. Chemistry is where it starts. It is rarely where it ends.
The tools are not the problem. What is missing is an expert who can see where you are stuck and stays with you until it is fixed.
Individual sessions, support packages, coaching, and prep courses are available for any of the courses below.
Real students, real courses, in their own words.
Organic Chemistry I grade, over seven weeks
Shannon B.
On the final. Class average on that final: 74.7%
Mackenzie A.
On the final. Class average: 122
Maxwell S.
Finished Organic Chemistry I with an A
Riley D.
I started working with Dr. Wolfson when I had a C- in OChem 1 and it jumped to a B+ in three weeks. Even my professor made a comment about it. Now I'm getting the highest grades in my lecture and lab courses.
73% to 90%
Her Organic Chemistry I grade, a 17-point climb over seven weeks. In OChem II she posted the top exam score in the class, and she finished with two pharmacy school acceptances, including her top pick.
I can't even make this up I got 100% on the final and ended the class with 97.93%!!!
100%
On the final of an accelerated summer Organic Chemistry I. She ended the class at 97.93%. Class average on that final: 74.7%.
I got a 162/200 on the final and the average was a 122. I'm very happy with that. Thanks so much for your help.
162/200
On the organic chemistry final. The class average was 122.
Working with Dr. Wolfson really helped me improve my understanding and confidence throughout the course. He was always there for questions with patience and encouragement, and customized our sessions for what would help me succeed. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without him, and I only wish I'd had him for OChem I as well to get a better foundation.
Passed, first try
Ava came to MCM after failing OChem I, terrified she wouldn't pass. She not only passed, her grade actually improved.
I don't have enough positive things to say about Dr. Wolfson! Besides having a true talent for teaching and explaining complex topics, he is also very flexible and available to work with your schedule. He truly supported me in my learning of OChem! He helped me solidify topics I was confused on, as well as prepared me for future topics in my class. I 10/10 recommend Dr. Wolfson and know he can help you too! I think his virtual platform was very accessible and convenient to use, and he really maximized his time with every session we had, not to mention fast responses to last-minute questions I would send him!
Eric was the best teacher I have ever had in any subject. I always left a session with a significantly better understanding of the topic than I entered with, and he was always able to answer my questions in full detail that was easy to understand and digest. In our sessions, we usually worked through problem sets and practice tests and he was always able to identify concepts I needed to work on. He also offered some valuable career advice! Eric was a large contributor to my success in organic chemistry and made learning it very enjoyable.
The practical details, in one place.
60-minute sessions, 100% virtual
Every session runs on Kedyou, a shared whiteboard with live audio and video, so you work problems side by side with me in real time.
A written recap after every session

Email follow-up between sessions
Questions that come up mid-week do not have to wait for the next session.

Unlike one-off sessions, the prep courses follow a clear progression through course material with milestones. Estimates assume 1–2 sessions per week; actual scope and schedule are determined during your free consultation. See the full course table and pricing.
Answer 14 questions and get a topic-by-topic read on where you stand, before you spend a dollar. You'll know exactly what's solid and what to shore up first.
Takes a few minutes. Results on the spot.
The things students and families ask most, before the first conversation.
Yes. High school students get one-on-one chemistry support at every level: standard, honors, AP, and IB. Career coaching and long-term academic planning are built for university students, but the chemistry help is the same expert instruction either way.
For a quick definition, sure. For actually learning chemistry, an answer isn't the point. AI will hand you a solution and skip the part where you learn to solve the next one on your own. A good tutor does the opposite: asks the question that gets you unstuck, then makes sure you can do it without help next time.
Yes, and it's a feature. Sessions run on a shared whiteboard with live audio and video, so you get the same back-and-forth as sitting side by side, from anywhere. You also keep notes from every session to review later.
Individual sessions are $120 an hour, or $100 an hour in a package of five or more. Prep and review courses are priced per course. The consultation is free, and there's no obligation to book after it.
Bring it to the free consultation. Tell me the course and where it's going wrong, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll say so.
Thirty minutes, no cost, no pressure. Tell me what you're up against and I'll tell you how I'd help. And if your first session isn't the right fit, you don't pay for it.
