Austin was a great help! His explanations were very clear and he came up with analogies that are sure to stick in my head. He is knowledgeable on the subject matter; he was able to answer any question I had about chemistry. He also made sure I could work the problems myself in the end. |

Austin was great, he took the time to back track and explain a concept to help me better understand the problem solving process. He was very quick to communicate with me about meeting, and seemed interested in making sure I got the clarification I needed in my chemistry class. I will definitely try to use him again for either chem or other science classes! |

Austin helped me in what I was having trouble and explained every step so that I could solve the problems myself, and then gave me great studying tips :] |

Austin helped me with my homeworks for chemistry and physics and I got As on those homeworks. I also learned from the sessions quite a lot.
Austin has great communication skills. He will explain things in a way that is easy to understand and stick in your mind well when it comes time for exams. He is also extremely insistant in making sure he is teaching the right and correct info and never minds checking his sources. |

Austin and I exchanged emails a few times. I ended up using a professor at ACC for tutoring, but apprecaite Austin's follow up. |
