<p>My S. is now a couple weeks into Chem 141 and says he needs some help. What is your advice to get a really good Chem Tutor. </p>
<p>My S. has Mulford for his Chem teacher. My S was the top chemistry student at his high school and got a 35 on his Science ACT, and wants to major in Chemistry. </p>
<p>My S. said that there is a lot of material covered in class, and would like someone to review and prepare for tests. He said he went to the Chemtutors and was not as helpful as he would like. He would really like someone who can help him get a great grade in this class. </p>
<p>Any suggestions are appreciated and he is willing to pay the right person if available.</p>
<p>I also went to the chem mentoring session and it was not as helpful as I’d like it to be…</p>
<p>Maybe your son should look into EPASS. Although I have not tried it, I heard it’s very very helpful. Just tell your son to google “EPASS Emory” and he should be able to schedule a time where he can meet with a private tutor to help him in chemistry. I believe it’s free. :)</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>You must go to Chem Mentors to do well in Mulford’s class… he has the data to demonstrate this fact. Also, go to Mulford’s office hours as they are extremely helpful as well. Finally, the mentors can provide helpful suggestions on how they prepared for Mulford’s tests. With the above, attending all classes and hard work an A should be attainable for most people.</p>
<p>Thanks, you are all awesome! I hope you know how much we appreciate your help, support and advice.</p>
<p>That data did not include all of the people I don’t think. They didn’t say how many fell in each of the frequency categories but merely correlated the amount of times w/some average GPA in which case, those who went 7+ times still averaged below 3.0. It was like a 2.9 or something. If the course average was about 2.8-3.0, I’m going to guess that the correlation does not=causation. Perhaps the students who were already slated to do better are more aggressive and attended more sessions (as with epass). In addition, I think chem mentors could probably be run better (such as giving students the sheet before hand), otherwise, the students get there, get the sheet, claim it’s hard, and the mentor just does it for them instead having the students take a crack at it or provide an idea first.</p>
