STUDENT REVIEWS
"She was very good at explaining the prelabs. One of the most in depth TAs I have had in lab. She is clearly passionate about teaching."
​
Student, Organic Chemistry II Labs
"Jessie is an amazing teacher. She simplifies difficult concepts, and her style is organized and easy to follow. I could tell she loved to teach, but I felt like she would have much more enjoyed being a TA for a problem session than a lab."
​
Student, Organic Chemistry II Labs
"I am extremely grateful for the tutoring sessions I have had with Jessie! She came to each session prepared with practice problems, and it was clear that she took the time to look at the lecture slides that I shared with her from previous classes. Her schedule was easy to work with, and she always responded to emails in a timely manner. Her teaching style was wonderful, and I appreciate how accommodating she was with my personal learning preferences as well. If you are struggling with a course or would like to refine your understanding of course material, I can confidently recommend her as a tutor. With Jessie's help, I got an A in organic chemistry 1 and felt like I had a better understanding of the course material than many of my peers."

Student, Organic Chemistry II Labs
"Jessie Garcia was one of the best tutors I had at my time at NC State University. She made the experience not only informative but also engaging. Thanks to weekly tutoring I ended the semester with a solid understanding of Organic Chemistry II and additionally, I felt very prepared for the relevant organic chemistry sections of the MCAT."
Tutored Student, Organic Chemistry II
"This instructor has been one of the best TA's I have had in a lab course. She was always prepared for lab and always took time to explain what we would be doing and how that applies to what we have learned in lecture. She made sure that lab didn't just feel like busy work. And, she made sure that we followed the procedures and didn't skip steps."
​
Student, Organic Chemistry II Labs
"I really liked not only how involved in the lab Jessie was, but also how she explained the real-life significance of what we were doing as well as the theoretical process."
​
Student, Organic Chemistry II Labs
"I'm really glad I had Jessie as our lab instructor. Although she taught very well and straightforwardly, that didn't stop her from being friendly and going around, offering help or explanations and solutions to our questions."
