"I had Mayya as a tutor for organic chemistry, and with her help I received an A+ in the class!! She is an outstanding tutor who is extremely organized and always came to sessions prepared. Mayya makes learning efficient and simple by breaking down difficult concepts into clear, manageable steps. She is very patient, never rushed through explanations, and always made sure I fully understood the material before moving on.
In addition to explaining concepts clearly, Mayya helped me develop better study strategies and problem-solving skills, which made a huge difference in my confidence with organic chemistry. Her teaching style made a challenging subject feel much more approachable. She was an amazing tutor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help in organic chemistry."
