I just have to say that you are the most excellent teacher. I am learning Chemistry with my son through your course and you take the intimidation out of everything. You explain terms and concepts so simply and understandably. I am so grateful that I chose your course. I have said countless times that you are the most fabulous instructor… it’s time that I told you! Thanks again.

We wanted you to know that your ChemExplained chemistry class has been a bright spot for our students this year. Thank you for delivering a quality course that is challenging enough to engage their minds in learning, but guides them through the process. You teach not only chemistry, but the skills needed for learning!

My daughter started the year with another curriculum. She simply wasn’t getting it. She would literally cry at how she couldn’t get it. So, I looked for suggestions and saw ChemExplained was mentioned quite a bit. Let me tell you, my daughter gets it now! I am not saying she doesn’t struggle with it, but she’s not crying and hating every single minute of it. Mr. Riz explains things in a way that she understands. She also likes the note pages because it’s all organized and concepts are reinforced as she fills in the blanks. I would very much recommend ChemExplained!

Having tried several times to learn the subject from other sources, I was wary of beginning yet another course. But as I started watching the videos, Mr. Riz’s engaging personality and passion for chemistry made me excited about it as well. After finishing my first year of college, I can attest to the value of the methods he uses. I wholeheartedly recommend this course because of its uncomplicated format, intelligibly explained concepts, and in-depth approach to a formerly daunting subject.

The teacher is brimming with enthusiasm for the class and makes it interesting with his thorough explanations, real-life illustrations, and constant interaction on the chalk board. The format is easy to rewind and see again for more thorough understanding. This class prepared our son to do well in his first year of college engineering courses. We highly recommend this course to any homeschooler looking for an understanding of chemistry.

“We have tried many different science programs. Chemistry was a course we found to be a challenge. ChemExplained proved to be just what it is titled: chemistry explained in a systematic tutorial with video lectures and worksheets allowing the student to work through chemistry at his or her own pace.”
