private lessons in organic and quantitative chemistry
-A qualified teacher with more than 5 years of experience, I offer individualized teaching, assistance in preparing for questions and official exams. my goal is to teach you simple tips and methods to progress without being overloaded. I give homework after each lesson and periodically give you progress reports. I offer support until the day before the exam thanks to private lessons in organic chemistry to master the nomenclature and physicochemical properties of organic compounds (hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, alpha amino acids, etc. .) to develop acid-base reactions and better understand chemical balances as well as the kinetics of certain chemical reactions. Even more, you will learn tips to remember and understand redox in a short time. This will allow you to have more peace of mind during the exam. So don't hesitate to contact me. See you soon, I hope.
