Written reviews from parents

Our daughter had an outstanding experience learning AP Chemistry with Ms. Faridah. From the very beginning, it was clear that she brings a rare blend of deep subject expertise, patience, and genuine care for her students. She doesn’t just teach the material, she helps students truly understand it, building both confidence and strong problem-solving skills along the way.

Throughout the year, we saw a remarkable transformation in our daughter’s comfort with complex concepts. Ms. Faridah explained even the most challenging topics in a clear, structured, and approachable way, always encouraging questions and making sure she felt supported. Her classes were well-organized, her communication was consistent, and her dedication was evident in every session.

By the time the AP exam arrived, our daughter felt fully prepared and she scored a 5. We are incredibly proud of her, and we credit a significant part of this achievement to the guidance, clarity, and encouragement she received from Ms. Faridah.

As a parent, I couldn’t be happier with 7 week AP Chemistry Boot Camp before AP Exam. The program is incredibly organized, challenging, and supportive. Ms Faridah genuinely cares about each student’s success, provides personalized feedback, and keeps both students and parents informed throughout the process.

My Son has gained confidence, developed a much stronger understanding of AP Chemistry, and approached exam-style questions with a clear strategy. The support outside of class is outstanding as well. After each session, students receive practice assignments and can ask questions through a WhatsApp group that includes both the student and parent. Ms Faridah provides prompt, individualized feedback and clearly explains where points are being lost and how to improve.The structured lessons, regular practice, and constant guidance make this program worth every penny.

I highly recommend this boot camp to any parent looking for a program that truly prepares students for success on the AP Chemistry exam.

Faridah is an exceptional AP Chemistry tutor. We had two children with very different starting points. Our 12th grader was struggling in AP Chemistry at school and getting Cs, while our 10th grader was self-studying AP Chemistry outside of school and had hit some roadblocks.

Both started working with Faridah just one month before the AP exam, and the results were amazing—one earned a 5 and the other a 4!

Faridah quickly identified their weaknesses, explained difficult concepts clearly, and taught them how to approach AP-style questions effectively. She is knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to her students. Most importantly, she helped both of our kids gain confidence and achieve results beyond what we expected in such a short time.

We are incredibly grateful to Faridah and would highly recommend her to any student preparing for AP Chemistry!

I wish I had found Faridah at the beginning of the school year! My daughter started AP Chemistry tutoring with her in March, exactly two months before the AP exam, and she scored a 5 on the exam.

Faridah has a very well-structured teaching method, and her availability to clarify doubts is truly impressive, especially considering the significant time difference between us. I especially appreciate the way she reviews concepts and tests students during the lesson to make sure they truly understand the material and to assess their level of understanding.

To all the parents out there—if you are looking to reduce the stress and burden of AP Chemistry, I strongly recommend Faridah as a tutor. Her guidance can make a real difference in helping students build confidence, understand the concepts thoroughly, and excel in AP Chemistry.

Uma S. · Parent of an AP Chemistry student · Facebook review

AP Chemistry is a very demanding course. My son took it in 10th grade without having previously taken regular Chemistry or Honors Chemistry, which made the experience especially challenging. For students who need additional support, I strongly recommend tutoring with Faridah.

I spent about a month searching for the right tutor before finding her, and I am very glad that we connected. I appreciated the way she structured the course and supported her students. Although the classes were held in a group setting, she checked in with each student individually, helped them with difficult concepts, and made sure their questions were answered. She also communicated with parents whenever she felt that a student was falling behind or needed additional support.

The intensive review sessions during the final month were especially helpful for my son. Faridah’s guidance, dedication, and encouragement played an important role in helping him successfully complete this challenging course. We are very grateful that we found her and would highly recommend her to other AP Chemistry students and families.

We are incredibly grateful to Faridah for her outstanding support in helping our son prepare for AP Chemistry. We only discovered her a little late in the preparation process, but even in that short time, the difference she made was remarkable. We only wish we had found her sooner.

Her one-on-one tutoring sessions were personalized to our son’s learning style, allowing her to quickly identify areas that needed improvement and focus on the concepts that mattered most. She explained challenging topics in a clear and easy-to-understand way, encouraged questions, and provided valuable practice and test-taking strategies. Her patience, encouragement, and consistent feedback helped build his confidence before the exam.

Thanks to Faridah’s dedication, expertise, and individualized approach, our son earned an excellent score on his AP Chemistry exam. Her support and encouragement throughout the process were truly amazing, and we are so thankful for the positive impact she had on his success.

We highly recommend Faridah to any student looking for an exceptional AP Chemistry tutor. She is knowledgeable, caring, professional, and genuinely committed to helping her students achieve their goals.

Geetha Sivaguru · Parent of an AP Chemistry student · Facebook review

I honestly can’t thank Faridah enough. My daughter was nervous going into AP Chemistry, but working with Faridah changed everything. Her teaching style is so thoughtful and clear—she doesn’t just go over content, she makes sure students really understand it. She gave my daughter a structure to follow, showed her how to approach problems, and built her confidence week by week.

Faridah pushed her to think deeper, practice more intentionally, and stay consistent. The way she teaches just works. My daughter ended up scoring a 5 on the AP exam, and I know without a doubt that it wouldn’t have happened without Faridah’s guidance.

We’re so, so grateful to have found her. If you’re a parent wondering whether it’s worth it—yes, it absolutely is.

I couldn’t ask for a better tutor. 5 Stars !!! Faridah tutored my son in 12th grade chemistry and got him through the year and grade level up to a B+. She checked in at times when he had exams. She now has tutored my daugther in 11th grade Chemistry and now 12th Grade Biology. She is the best. If you have a child struggling with their studies she is the go to person. Book her now I mean it!!! My children have been tutored under Faridah for 3 years now.

I cannot recommend Faridah enough! She has been an incredible guide and mentor for my daughter in AP Chemistry. Her teaching style is clear, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs, making even the most challenging topics manageable. My daughter not only gained a deep understanding of Chemistry but also developed confidence and a love for the subject. Thanks to Faridah’s support, my daughter achieved outstanding results and has been accepted into an Ivy League school. Faridah’s dedication, expertise, and genuine care make her an exceptional tutor.

Vinoo M. · Parent of an AP Chemistry student · Facebook review

I got to know Faridah through Facebook, and in a short time, she understood exactly what my son needed. She adjusted her teaching style just for him, and with her help, he scored a 5 in AP Chemistry. Faridah is not only smart and talented, but also very friendly and supportive. She connects so well with students and makes learning easier. You can go with her without a second thought—she truly cares and delivers results.

Mangai E. · Parent of an AP Chemistry student · Facebook review

Faridah is an outstanding and dedicated tutor. My daughter enjoyed learning with her—especially appreciating the way she broke down complicated topics using interesting analogies. Faridah is highly organized and thoughtful in her lesson planning, and she consistently follows up with both students and parents to ensure meaningful progress. At the beginning of the school year, my daughter struggled with AP Chemistry, but with Faridah’s guidance and support, she certainly got a hung of it, and ultimately achieved a strong score on the AP exam. Again, we appreciate Faridah‘s hard work, and wish her all the best!

She was super sweet, and knew every concept really well, and was able to explain concept in a way that was easy to understand, and gave good tips to help memorize concepts as well.

Anoushka B. · Student · Facebook review

Amazing Tutor, very understanding. I have never taken a chem class before and she makes me feel like I can learn anything. Also finds ways to make things easier for you to understand. Really cares for her students success. I 10/10 recommend for anyone who just simply wants to learn. Even with no prior experience in the subject. If you have some and have a few confusions she can definitely put you on the right track.
