Hi CHEM 233 STUDENT!

It's that time of year again. It has been shown in history (see my analysis of CHEM 233 grade trends below for the past 10 years) that the rumours are false that so many students fail CHEM 233 and can find no way of redeeming themselves on a 2nd effort. The truth is that a lot of people fail the midterms. Almost all students pass in the end just like in any other course at UBC. The caveat is that a lot of students pass with a low grade (a lot of students in the range of 50-80%). It doesn't matter if you're born smart or not. It doesn't matter if you've gotten 90%+ in all your other subjects up till now. Doing well in this course requires most students to change the way they approach a course. The bottom line is that CHEM 233 is a very unique and different course from other science courses at UBC and it therefore equally demands a different approach to do well in. I understand the approach to doing well and I am confident that students who learn under me will come to realize, appreciate and put this proper mentality in focus to achieve success. You don't have to be naturally smart to get my teaching and my ideas because I myself am not a genius. However, what I am smart at is making wierd/abstract things simple and easy to me because I personally can't understand a lot of the confusing things out there in this world, especially all the complicated stuff we have to learn in University. Unlike a lot of students who do well in University, I am able to solidify and tell you in concrete words what it takes to succeed in CHEM 233 and in life.

Please peruse this blog, which I have spent many hours creating to grab tips and information on everything that has to do with CHEM 233 and succeeding in it. I hope it's useful for you.

I am charging $40/person for each 2 hr session.
