Organic Chemistry can be the monster of pre-medical requirements. Even the most ambitious of students can be overwhelmed by the barrage of facts and principles that are required knowledge at test time. Organic Chemistry is the number one reason why students drop pre-med and never obtain their MDs.

Over the years, I have worked with countless students who have now achieved their goals of becoming physicians, dentists, and nurses. My very first student called me when he had been admitted to medical school (which he completed at Georgetown University). He claimed that I had 'righted his ship' -- that is, he credited me for correcting the course of his career! I believe that his own energy and devotion had been the deciding factor in his success. However, I also believe his achievements in Organic Chemistry boosted his confidence, so that he knew he could easily take on any other class. (Dr. Pepek is now a physician on the West Coast.)

I am patient, thorough, and very experienced. Most importantly, I enjoy the material and instructing it. It makes me proud to see my students succeed.
