This addresses a gap between college chemistry lecture and high school chemistry memories of
chemistry material. 

                                                                         --        Nancy Waits, Instructor, Lon Morris College

Chemreview.net has some incredibly detailed tutorials on topics in chemistry.   This year, I had a couple of students (who struggled with the pace and rigor of my AP class) use some of the chapters, and in this case, the topic was equilibrium.  Their grades went up dramatically.  This is an excellent resource, almost like having one's own personal tutor in a book.

               AP Chem Listserve, 6/3/10

I have linked ChemReview to my web pages for general chem students. Your tutorial materials are extremely readable and the practice problems very well done.  I have suggested that students go to ChemReview in preference to other Chemistry problem books.

These lessons encourage students to take more responsibility for their learning.   I used
the first 8 modules for summer homework.  The results were excellent.

        North Garland High School

I tried the "Naming Ionic Compounds" lesson with my students.  They really liked the exercise!

--        Carolyn Sweeney Judd

       Houston Community College

I host a free group tutoring session for general chemistry students.  I recommended your site for
practice on stoichiometry and other math based concepts.  You give great step-by-step break downs
of how to look at a problem.

Reviews from Students:

My professor suggested that we use ChemReview often to assist with our studies. 

On our acid chapter, we moved quickly through full titration curves involving weak and strong
bases/acids, pH,  and buffers.  Your lessons assisted me greatly and I was able to score a 99 on
that test. 

I have maintained an A average thus far.  I would not have been able to perform so well without
your excellent teaching materials. 

                                                                          --     Buu Du, Oklahoma State University-OKC

I have failed at chemistry in the past but am currently getting an A after using these modules.

                                                                             --    Jody Van Thull, Folsom Lake College

I review on this site because it offers a different viewpoint.  Added to the way my professor instructs us,
it is enough for the material to*click*. I am able to learn and remember "why" things are happening
and not just memorize formulas.

                                                                           --    Craig Giles, Moorpark College

The lessons pinpoint the fundamental problem solving processes which aren't spelled out very well in
our textbook.  Being able to go through the problems step by step in your lessons, then return to the
text problems has worked very well.  I'm now much more confident in the subject.

                                                                            --      Finn Parnell, University of Washington

These lessons have been incredibly helpful.

--   Lauren McShane, Brown University

 The lessons on your website have helped me tremendously in preparing to take my Optometry
Admissions Test (OAT).

                                                                            --   Thien Nguyen, University of Oklahoma

I'm a sophomore taking AP Chemistry.  I have not had a 1st year chem class, and the lessons have been
a lifesaver!  Since I started using them, I've been creeping up from a B to a B+ and now I'm almost at
an A-!

                                                                          --    Gregory Ow, Galileo High School

The modules are great for practice drills!

--    Annie Hoang, Yale University

Our professor gave us a copy of module 7 to help with naming compounds.  I noticed the website name
at the bottom and have printed a few modules for myself.  If it is any indication, I received an A+ on my
first two exams.

                                                                       --      Ron Clark, Austin Community College

This is my second attempt at chemistry, the first time I ended up having to drop the class in order to
avoid receiving a failing grade. This time around I am doing much, much better and my grades are
in the A - B range. Your site has been extremely helpful and I have in fact suggested it and given the web
address to some of my other classmates who have been struggling.

--     Keri Kaiser, Los Angeles Valley College

Chemreview.net has helped me tremendously this semester and I recommend it to everyone that I know
who is taking chemistry.

                                                                                --      Patricia Neal, South Suburban College (IL).

                                                                     --        Florida Community College -- Jacksonville

I began Chem I in Fall 2007 and was immediately overwhelmed.  I found your website and worked
my way through a tutorial only to find that WOW, I actually understood what was going on!  I
understand so much better.  This was by far the best material I found, better than  both books that
I purchased and mostly found to be a waste of my money.  Yours is excellent!  5 stars!

Thank you for presenting this information in such a straightforward manner.
