We are incredibly grateful to have had such an outstanding AP Chemistry teacher for our daughter. Thanks to her expert teaching and personal attention, our daughter scored a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam!
What truly sets her apart is not just her deep knowledge of the subject, but the way she takes personal care of each student’s success. She was always available to clarify concepts, offer encouragement, and adjust her approach to suit each student’s learning style.
Her passion for chemistry is infectious, and it inspired our daughter to stay engaged and confident throughout the year — even during the most challenging topics. This score is a reflection of her dedicated teaching and unwavering support.
We cannot thank her enough and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any student pursuing AP Chemistry.

This review is way overdue but is very important to share with you :
Dr.Uma is an excellent teacher. Our daughter was able to master material for AP Chemistry test in a very short time. Dr.Uma was very flexible and understanding of our needs and gave ample amount time to make sure material was easy to understand. Dr.Uma provided a lot of review material in a very useful and organized format. Dr.Uma is very diligent and focused. We were very fortunate to find such an amazing teacher. We will be taking lessons with Dr.Uma in the future. Thank you!

My grand daughter needed help in Chemistry for 12+ examination ( 2017-18) in NY. I contacted Dr Uma Sharma & had interaction on how she teaches online; being satisfied we engaged our grand daughter for online assistance. She did very well in her school examination & SAT. Now She has joined University of Chicago. We are extremely happy the way the interaction between our grand daughter & Dr Uma helped to inspire her to work hard & achieve good results.
I am retired Professor from IITDelhi, with my experience can vouch for Dr Uma as a patient & capable Chemistry tutor , who knows how to counsel her students and make Chemistry an interesting subject. Dr Uma is among the best teachers who knows her subject & the art of tutoring!

I am pleased to share my enthusiastic recommendation for Dr. Sharma who worked with my daughter on AP chemistry this year. Throughout the course of the year, Dr. Sharma demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment and dedication to ensuring that my daughter had a complete understanding of the material.
From the outset, it was clear that this tutor was passionate about teaching AP Chemistry and truly cared about the success of her students. Her tireless work ethic and love for the subject helped to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that fostered my daughter\'s growth and development.
Dr. Sharma’s expertise in AP Chemistry was evident from the first session. She was able to provide clear, concise but yet simplified explanations of complex concepts, and her use of real-world examples helped to bring the material to life. Her deep knowledge of the subject matter was also reflected in the challenging and thought-provoking quizzes she created, which were instrumental in helping my daughter develop a strong understanding of the material.
Perhaps most impressive, however, was Dr. Sharma\'s unwavering dedication to her students. She always made herself available outside of class to answer questions through the chat room and was patient and encouraging even in the face of difficult challenges.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Dr. Sharma highly enough. Her hard work, care for her students, and expertise in the subject make her an outstanding teacher. I have no doubt that any student fortunate enough to work with her will benefit immensely from the experience. Thank you Dr. Sharma for all your work with my daughter. My husband and I very much appreciate your dedication!!
