Joseph really helped me strengthen my problem solving skills for classes like biology and organic chemistry. He challenged me to really think about why an answer was correct and gave insightful tips on what professors typically test students on. He is a very knowledgeable and receptive tutor, andwith his help I was able to get As in biology and organic chemistry.

Ukana was my tutor for 1st semester General Chemistry (CHEM2070) through the on-ramp program. Whenever he saw that I didn't understand,he would go through the material again slowly and create useful analogies which helped deepen my understanding. He was also very approachable and made asking questions easy which helped a lot as I was a freshman.

Working with Ukana really helped me turn things around in my Biology course. Before I was struggling and feeling overwhelmed,but his consistent support helped me gain confidence and eventually finish the class with a high grade. His annotated slides helped break down complex topics in a more digestible way, especially for memorizing detailed concepts.

Ukana was an excellent tutor. He was always very prepared for each tutoring session, asking questions and reviewing materials that were essential to my preparation for different exams.He was always very responsive and would answer questions off-duty as well. Additionally, he was very patient with me and would explain things as often as I needed until I understood the content.

Ukana was an incredible tutor and helped me do well in organic chemistry last semester.He was wholeheartedly committed to my success. Despite having his own major responsibilities, he went above and beyond by always being very flexible with meeting times, making practice problems for me to work on between sessions, and coming prepared to each session with a lesson plan tailored to the material taught in my specific class. If you have the chance to learn from Ukana, I 1000% recommend.
