Dr. Jensen's Exam Style

CHEM 130 practice exams provided are the same every semester, and do not show enough of the curveballs that are ACTUALLY tested on your exam. What you need to study are the ACTUAL exams given out in past semesters which I can provide through 1-on-1 tutoring.
Dr. Jensen's exams are concept multiple-choice and calculation multiple-choice. 70% of questions are NOT straight-forward
Dr. Jensen speaks with a thick accent, however, her engaging personality and genuine interest in student questions overcomes that language barrier, and she is one of the most effective chem instructors at PSU.
Dr. Jensen's exams are typically harder than canvas quizzes and PLA's for CHEM 130. Past exam questions are used in lecture, but not exceptions, and hard variations are taught before exams.

    • Accelerated Catch Up - If you're behind, I'll help you catch up 10x faster than studying on your own using private resources.

      Learn to Sound Smart with Your Professor - Students frequently mention that nothing annoys Dr. Jensen like "easy" or vague questions to look unprepared in her eyes. Learn how to shine among your peers by visiting office hours often with "smart" questions ready in hand - I'll teach you how and what questions to ask and get the most out of 1-on-1 face time during Dr. Jensen's office hours.

      In-Depth Review - Because of the pandemic online setup, her live and pre-recorded lectures can be difficult for students to engage and understand. Students frequently find themselves self-learning this course while skipping lectures entirely. I'll ensure all relevant topics are reviewed with 1-on-1 in case pre-recorded lectures are inefficient.

      Focus on What's "Actually" Tested - I emphasize topics that I know have been historically tested on in your class during our sessions. I'll reinforce really important subjects that you'll need to know to pass your exams and get your desired grade.
