“I would recommend this chemistry course because of the amazing teacher, in-depth class time, and helpful assignments. The teacher explained the concepts well and helped them become much more approachable. He was very encouraging and engaging. In class, we used the time efficiently to cover the material and assist with test preparation and chapter clarification. The homework was not busywork but instead it was challenging, thought-provoking, and helpful without being overbearing. We did labs at home, which were always helpful with grasping the concepts and going a little deeper. There were also a few self-designed labs which pushed our application more. We wrote lab reports, which I feel much more confident about now than I did at the beginning of the year. Overall this course has been very enjoyable and helped deepen my knowledge and appreciation of chemistry.”

“I learned SO MUCH through this course. The curriculum introduces concepts in a way that they tie together in future chapters, and where everything fits into a big picture. This is great for students’ understanding, since they can see how science is interrelated and connected!! The interactive online materials are also really helpful! With more academic rigor, we go deeper in the material, which also means we benefit more from it. The material was extremely difficult for me in certain areas, but my teacher made sure to answer ANY questions I had. He responds to emails quickly with very detailed answers, makes class entertaining and humorous, works through problems with extreme detail and care, and shows passion for what he is teaching. I love this course so much, despite how challenging it was for me. All the time and energy spent on this course was worth it.”

“This class was one of my most enjoyable this year. The teacher explained the subject well and in an interesting way, with many jokes along the way. Although Chemistry is such a hard subject, this class was made easier by the great teaching and humor. Workload was hard, but with some planning, it is manageable.”

“Chemistry is an essential class for all high schoolers. TPS Chemistry Honors has an excellent curriculum and the teaching of these course materials is obviously well-prepared.”

“I really enjoyed this course this year because the teacher went into full depth about each concept while also checking in with his students often to make sure they understood the material. I recommend this class to any science-loving students who are looking for a challenging but rewarding class that also provides time for questions and projects.”

“This course is comprehensive and well-taught. Compared to general science classes, this class allows students to better understand the mechanics behind the fundamental laws in science. I highly recommend the teacher, as he is good at explaining new concepts and always makes class time fun.”

“This class has been amazing to understand how chemistry works. It really has strengthened my faith and shown the complexity of our world. The work load was just the right amount where it pushed me but did not put useless work on me. The classes felt very insightful and the teacher has been amazing.”

“I LOVED this course! We had so much fun and the teacher is amazing all around. The work load was decent, and there were plenty of opportunities to solidify your knowledge of chemistry in all the aspects learned over the year. Absolutely loved it and loved being in class!”

“Chemistry (Honors) covers a very broad and in-depth approach to the subject. It definitely has its challenges but overall it forces you to study hard and pay attention to lectures; it is helpful to ask plenty of questions and listen in on others’ questions as well. The curriculum is balanced in teaching the conceptual fields of chemistry as well as providing plenty of practice with chemical equations and formulas. The progression of each unit and their topics build well on each other through the year.”
