Pre-term general chemistry intensive
Five consecutive mornings on your campus, run as a bootcamp for incoming students: a hands-on first pass through the material behind the first midterms, in the exam formats they will actually face.
Your students have the talent. Give them the experience, skills, and guidance to match.
A pre-term intensive, semester cohort coaching, and faculty workshops that turn gateway attrition into retention your board can see.
Give your students the skills general chemistry demands.Give your campus a retention program a board can point to.
Arm your gateway students with an advantage.
Clearing the gateway sequence takes more than talent. It needs:
- Fast-paced studying
- High-stakes exam preparation
- Smart use of the resources around them
- Real time management
Be the campus that provides the foundation.
Get the Full Program Pitch
Semester cohort coaching
Twelve weekly live-virtual sessions for a cohort of 8 to 12: study systems that hold up under a real course load, course planning, STEM career direction, and the self-management a gateway course assumes students already have.
Workshops your faculty and advisors can put to work the same week.
Working sessions for a whole room at once, on campus or live-virtual, delivered by a scientist who uses the tools he is teaching.
For your faculty
Teaching technology & AI implementation
Which teaching technology and AI are worth adopting, what to skip, and how to run it in a course that still assesses honestly. Methods for the next lecture block, not a vendor pitch.
For advisors & administrators
Strategy & evidence sessions
What the tools cost, what they change for students, and how to evaluate the claims before the purchase order clears, so the decisions you defend stay grounded.
For your students
Skills the syllabus assumes
Study methods that survive a gateway course load, career pathing in the sciences, and using AI honestly. One session that reaches a whole room at once.
Booking note. Workshops are the fastest way to start an engagement, and they bundle onto an intensive week when I am already on site.
A program families notice and your success center can lean on.
These programs do work before anyone enrolls. A family choosing between two schools notices when one of them has a chemistry support program with a name and a person attached to it. That gives your admissions team something real to talk about.
They also plug into what you already run rather than competing with it: your success center or advising office refers a cohort, the coaching holds a fixed weekly schedule, and every session comes from the same instructor.
One PhD chemist designs and teaches every session. No subcontractors, no rotating tutors, and nothing outsourced for you to explain later.
Start with a conversation. Leave with a plan.

Built to fit your budget, not the other way around.
The discovery call sets the scope; the written proposal carries one all-in number your office can take straight to budget.
- Every engagement is a fixed-price contract
- Scoped to your institution and calendar
- Travel itemized at cost; little to none in MD, DC, and greater Columbus
Meet the instructor.
I'm Eric Wolfson, a PhD organic chemist who spends his week teaching students through the exact courses yours are fighting. My work sits on both sides of the gateway: one-on-one coaching with university students in general and organic chemistry, and institutional programs built for the offices responsible for getting students through them.
Every program on this page is designed and delivered by me personally, so what your campus buys is what your students get.
- PhD in organic chemistry, The Ohio State University
- 6 peer-reviewed publications, 650+ citations
- 2,000+ hours teaching chemistry across a decade
- Senior-level industry researcher
- Built and delivered workshop programming for Johns Hopkins University's academic support office

Questions campuses ask.
Tap a question to expand the answer.
What does our campus need to provide?
A room and a cohort. I bring the curriculum, the materials, and the teaching. The discovery call settles the calendar and the right first program, and you leave it with a written scope your office can take straight to budget.
Who actually teaches the programs?
Every session is designed and delivered by me, Eric Wolfson: PhD organic chemist, a decade of teaching, and workshop programming built for Johns Hopkins University's academic support office. No subcontractors, no rotating tutors, and nothing outsourced for your office to explain later.
Which programs run in person, and which are virtual?
The pre-term intensive is in-person, on your campus. Workshops run either way: on campus or live-virtual. Semester cohort coaching is live-virtual by design, so it slots around lectures and labs without a travel line on the invoice.
When in the year can a program run?
The intensive runs May through August, timed to the summer before the fall term. Cohort coaching runs across a fall or spring semester. Workshops are single sessions and book year-round.
What does an engagement cost?
Every engagement is a fixed-price contract scoped to your institution: the discovery call sets the scope, and the written proposal carries one all-in number your office can take straight to budget. When travel applies, it is itemized at cost with receipts and never marked up; Maryland, the Washington, DC area, and greater Columbus, Ohio carry little to no travel cost.
