For Students · High School & University
1-on-1 tutoring and coaching from a PhD chemist, built around your course, your pace, and your plans.
Tell me the course and what you need. Every message comes straight to me, and I reply within 24 hours.
Free 30-minute consultation. If I'm not the right fit, I'll point you to who is.
Individual sessions, support packages, coaching, and prep courses are available for any of the courses below.
The basics you need to make a decision.
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
The recognition cues, the procedure in order, and the worked example, all captured so the work carries into your next study block.
From wherever you study
No commute, no travel radius, no settling for whoever happens to be near campus. Your dorm, your apartment, your kitchen table.
Email follow-up between sessions
Questions that come up mid-week do not have to wait for the next session.
You have resources. Use them! But they may not be cutting it. Here is what you have, and how I add to it or flat-out beat it.
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. Someone who stays with you until it is fixed.
"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."
The full picture: a 17-point climb over seven weeks, the top OChem II exam score in her class, and 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%!!!"
The full picture: Mackenzie's goal walking in was a B+. She absolutely crushed it: a perfect score on the final exam and a nearly perfect 97.9% in the class, against a 74.7% class average on that final.
"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."
The full picture: OChem II lecture and lab plus career coaching. A B+ on a hard curve, valuable career advice along the way, and a pre-dental track he's thriving on.
"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."
The full picture: Ava came to MCM after almost failing OChem I, terrified she wouldn't pass OChem II. 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!
Working with Eric in Ochem 1 made a huge difference in my understanding of the course. He has a great ability to break down difficult concepts and reaction mechanisms into manageable steps that actually make sense. His tutoring sessions were always well-prepared, patient, and tailored to the areas where I needed the most help. Because of his guidance, I felt much more confident approaching homework, quizzes, and exams. I would highly recommend him to any student looking for a knowledgeable and supportive organic chemistry tutor.
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.
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.
Structured prep and review for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry I and II. Each course follows a clear progression through the material, built to get you ready before a semester starts, back on track in the middle of one, or refreshed before the MCAT or graduate coursework.

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.
Tell me what you're up against and I'll tell you how I can help.
