Mayya Alocci : Online Organic Chemistry Tutor
Education: I graduated NYU Cum Laude with a double major in Chemistry and Psychology. I was also Valedictorian of Lafayette High School.
Experience: I have been a full time online Organic Chemistry tutor for over 14 years. I specialize in chemistry and tutor High School, General and Organic Chemistry only. When I took organic chemistry in college, I loved it so much, I decided to major in chemistry! With the help of my guidance combined with their hard work, my students go from failing their class to receiving As as their final grades. I am also the founder of Transformation Tutoring.
Approach: Organic Chemistry is known to be one of the hardest subjects in the premed journey. The class material and tests are unique to each professor. I make sure to gear my lessons to each student and the material their professor provides. Together, we try to find the most efficient way to prepare and study for their organic chemistry tests. My approach relies heavily on a lot of practice. We go over past exams, practice exams, home work problems and I am happy to create practice problems resembling those given by the professor. There is no understanding like that which comes from doing relevant practice.
I try to make my tutoring sessions as efficient as possible while still making sure my student is fully grasping the concept we are going over. I welcome questions and mistakes. That is the only way to learn!
Mayya helped me increase my organic chemistry grade by 2 whole letters. By the final exam, I felt so prepared due to her efficient and concise breakdown of the most important concepts of orgo. She made everything so much less stressful and overwhelming and it was a pleasure to work with her. I could tell from the start of our sessions together that she knows the ins and outs of organic chemistry, as she always answered my questions with so much insight and detail. Overall, an amazing experience!”

Online Tutoring Method
For the online organic chemistry sessions, I use a combination of Facetime and Miro whiteboard. I create a separate whiteboard for each student. On the whiteboard, I upload problems, write, post pictures and notes. My students can also write on the whiteboard and I can see and guide them through problems. All of our sessions are saved and my students can always go back to their board to review everything we did in the previous lessons. In order to write on the board, my students use either ipads, touchscreen laptops or writing pads.
Policies
I tutor weekdays 8am-7pm and weekend mornings and evenings. I try to be as available to my students as possible. However, it is best to set up reoccurring sessions to make sure that the time spot you want is not taken. All payments must be made prior to the session to secure your time. Payments can be made via Venmo, Zelle, or an invoice from my website.
