I have been knowing Dr Bortacchini for 10 years and I can strongly recommend his services as teacher. He is both a highly skilled chemist with a Phd and a particularly emphatic person, cornerstone skills for a teacher.
Great tutor and great lessons! Ivan helped me to understand how to read the periodic table and predict the trend of reactivity of elements. Lessons are fun and engaging making it easy to progress. I have been able to get better grades and enjoying chemistry as well.
