Sir Rickson made it possible for me to understand our current lesson/concepts in organic chemistry. He really breaks down the lesson step by step when he teaches, and you can rest assured that you will be able to follow even if the topic in chem gets confusing. I also enjoyed his tutoring sessions because the topics become clearer and not overwhelming. He is very patient when explaining, and he repeats the discussion whenever you miss something just to make sure that everyone understands. He is a big help, especially for students who are having a hard time with the subject. For me, sir makes organic chemistry a subject that is not scary or something you would dread, because you can really understand the lesson with his guidance. You can feel that he really wants his students to learn, and he takes time to make sure no one gets left behind. Kudos to Sir!!

I had a highly productive three-hour session with Sir Rickson for Organic Chemistry. Even with limited time, he managed to break down complex lessons into digestible pieces, making the material much easier to grasp. The drills he provided were incredibly helpful in testing my actual understanding. Beyond his teaching method, he creates a very supportive environment by reminding us that it’s okay to make mistakes and encouraging us to ask questions whenever we face difficulties. He's definitely the tutor to go to if you need help with Organic Chemistry!

Sir Rick is hands down one of the most efficient and engaging chem tutors I’ve had. Even though our sessions were very short, he managed to teach so much in such an effective way. As someone who’s not a STEM graduate and really struggled to keep up with Chemistry, I appreciated how he started from the basics without making me feel left behind. What I liked most is how he made everything interesting and fun. Instead of just pure formulas and theories, he explains concepts using real-life examples, which makes them easier to understand and remember. Chemistry felt less intimidating and more relatable because of that. I’m also very thankful for all the practical tips and exam hacks he shared, super helpful and honestly a game-changer during tests. Highly recommended if you want Chemistry to actually make sense and not just be memorized! ><

i needed help to pass my final exam in a chemistry subject, leading me to find sir rickson in facebook. although only meeting for two days and about 6? hours, i could say i learned a lot more than i did with him in those hours than in one semester ? His experience in taking the exact same subject i needed definitely helped. His "predictions" for the concepts, types of questions that were going to be asked were spot on. His explanations were simple, clean, and understandable even to someone that was slow + has a relatively weaker background in chemistry! Coming out of my exam, I was beyond confident about passing, and it was all thanks to sir Rickson! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone struggling in Chemistry! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + ⭐️

As a student with very little background in organic chemistry, Sir Rickson quickly became my lifesaver when we started biochemistry. From our first meeting, he showed how professional and knowledgeable he is, explaining concepts clearly, knowing every topic by heart, adjusting the pace to your level, and staying very approachable and easy to talk to. He recently passed the Chemistry board exam, and it shows in how updated and confident he is when teaching. What I appreciate most is how he personalizes his teaching style. I’m a visual/step-by-step learner, and he used drawings, references, pneumonics, and memory tricks for every concept. We tackled all the cycles of carbohydrate metabolism, and he made them genuinely understandable. He tests your knowledge without making you feel embarrassed, creating a safe and comfortable learning space. Despite having many tutees, he always makes time for you. Thank you for helping me throughout the semester; I could not have survived without you po

Sir Rickson was absolutely incredible! I am so grateful for how he taught me. He made the basics and the concepts finally click after I struggled to understand them on my own. He’s the kind of tutor you turn to when everything feels confusing, and somehow he makes it all make sense. By the end of the session, you’ll definitely walk away with something valuable! Whether it’s the fundamentals, the important concepts, or his super fun little facts! Those fun facts honestly made the whole learning experience enjoyable and memorable. I truly appreciate his patience, clarity, and the passion he brings to every explanation. Highly recommended!!

I was fortunate to have Sir Rickson as my tutor throughout my Organic Chemistry course, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better tutor. From the very beginning, he ensured that I had a solid grasp of each fundamental concept before diving into more complex mechanisms. His teaching style made the subject much more approachable compared to how it was presented in the classroom. Sir Rickson provided clear, step-by-step procedures and plenty of practice exercises, which proved incredibly helpful—especially during exams. What really set him apart was his kind, approachable, and patient demeanor. He emphasized during our first session the importance of open communication, encouraging me to be transparent about my learning pace and challenges. This made a huge difference, as it allowed him to tailor each session to fit my needs and learning style. Thanks to his guidance, I realized that Organic Chemistry isn’t as difficult or intimidating as it’s often made out to be. I’m truly grateful!

Sir Rickson is a great tutor! As someone who started with little to no knowledge in Chemistry, I can confidently say he made the subject so much easier to understand. I went from having the lowest test scores in class to ranking among the top students. He takes the time to understand where your understanding is before, during, and after the session. He breaks down the concepts in a way that you can understand. He also makes sure to provide exercises and tips to help reinforce your understanding. The tips he has are things you won't find online and have helped me a ton on test day. Beyond academics, he is incredibly friendly, approachable, and supportive. He answers any chemistry-related questions patiently and thoroughly. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their understanding of Chemistry!

Sir Rickson customizes his teaching based on the type of exam. Whether it’s multiple choice, short answer, or essay, you just need to inform him beforehand. He explains complex topics, especially in biochemistry, in a simple, relatable way, making difficult concepts easier to understand and retain. His subtle humor keeps sessions engaging and less overwhelming. He’s also highly responsive, accommodating, and offers a flexible schedule, which is helpful for busy student. Most importantly, he creates a supportive and non-judgmental learning environment that helps build both confidence and understanding. If you’re looking for a tutor who not only knows the subject well but also knows how to teach it effectively and with empathy, I highly recommend him.

Sir Rickson was very kind, understanding, and highly engaging in his tutoring approach. He makes sure that you understand the lesson by providing mini exercises during the session. The materials he created were also very useful because they were made tailor-fit based on the organic chemistry modules that we provided. He also provided us shortcuts and "cheat sheets" so that we could memorize various concepts easier. What surprised and impressed me the most was that he was able to fit 2-3 weeks worth of modules into 3 sessions. I always looked forward to these sessions because Sir Rickson's positive energy was highly contagious. Overall, because of Sir Rickson, I am more confident in organic chemistry!

The teaching is good and professional, but it's better to ask the student first how much they understood and where they were weaker, so that the teaching can be focused on that, because sometimes time is wasted, especially if the student is already okay with that topic and there is only a particular part such as complicated solving and just needs more practice, that's why I think it's better to ask the student first if they don't focus too much on that part or just a small review if they really understood it and if so, focus on what needs to be focused on as to not waste the time, thank you.

Rickson Albez has been an excellent tutor to me, as we've spent almost a month together studying Organic Chemistry. During our sessions, he elaborates on each subtopic in a way that is easy to digest. At times, he even provides techniques to help me remember the names, formulas, and essential information related to the topic. Moreover, he allows me to learn at my own pace, which has helped me absorb the material with ease—unlike the fast-paced learning environment in classrooms. He's also been very patient with me, despite my making multiple mistakes, even in areas I am already familiar with. This patience gave me the courage to push through, and throughout our last sessions, I noticed that I've gotten better at both nomenclature and solving problems. Overall, my performance in Organic Chemistry has improved since our tutorials. He made me realize that chemistry isn't as intimidating as I once thought; it also has its fun side. He gave me the confidence I have today, and I'm very grateful to him for guiding me throughout my college terms.

Sir Rickson is for everyone - whether you’re a beginner, a slow learner, or find chemistry topics hard to grasp. He is also the most affordable tutor I found. He is patient whenever I get confused with a concept and will ensure it is simplified until I can understand it. He does this through mnemonics, word associations, and analogies (and sometimes trivia). Often, he is also hilarious and likes to build connections with us to keep the discussion engaging. He also makes sure we complete various activities after discussing the topics, then assesses where we stand and continues teaching or clarifies points as needed. PS: I entered the examination room confident in my abilities because he had prepared me so well in Chemistry. Thank you, Sir!

Questions for You

Q: What areas of Chemistry do you specialize in, and what level of Chemistry do you usually teach?

My main focus is Biochemistry, more specifically protein chemistry of agricultural insect pests. I usually teach General, Inorganic, and Organic Chemistry.

Q: What types of resources or technology do you use to support your Chemistry lessons?

I use Zoom for holding online classes and Canva for editing the lecture slides needed in the tutorial sessions.

Q: How do you approach teaching Chemistry concepts to students who may struggle with Chemistry?

I go back to basics. Since chemistry has its own language, the student must first be familiar with how it is spoken, and so I usually conduct a refresher on the fundamentals before I begin my tutorial proper.

Q: Do you have experience with laboratory experiments, and how do you incorporate these into your Chemistry lessons?

Yes. I have a BS in Agricultural Chemistry, and several requirements to be fulfilled to earn the degree were to finish a huge load of Chemistry lab units. I show these laboratory experiments once the student has mastered the concepts behind in order for them to appreciate the phenomenon behind the observed reality of these lab exercises.

Q: What is your approach to teaching organic chemistry, and how do you make the subject engaging and accessible for students?

I own a molecular kit myself to demonstrate spatial topics, such as inversion, racemization, and conformation. I make it engaging by letting the student say their thoughts on what may be the answer to what I asked before I reveal the correct answer.

Q: How do you help students prepare for chemistry competitions, college applications, or other academic opportunities in chemistry?

We answer tons of practice problems together. Even though I am an educator at this point, I still have areas to improve on, and I make sure I am 100% present with my students as they prepare for their academic opportunities.
