Organic Chemistry is one of my top subjects! I am a practicing Organic Chemist. I have terminal knowledge in the subject and have been consultant for corporations (publishing and pharmaceutical) and worked as full-time university faculty (CU, Mines, Princeton). Chemistry is work for me, however teaching chemistry is what I enjoy most. I think you will find it fun too, once the rules are actually explained to you. (Surprise! No one has or will explain it to you, not even your professor--see for yourself).
I primarily tutor Organic and General so you can rest assured 100% accuracy and depth of understanding from a chemist, not just any science major. Don't risk your time and money on someone with barely a semester of experience more than you. It takes years of graduate organic education not experience tutoring or assistant teaching. To communicate the subject precisely at the level you need to ace your class and even your professor, you need someone who thinks like your professor. A tutor a with master's or PhD in another subject has the same experience of organic as an undergraduate. They will overcharge you to boot for being an expert in another field completely.
Organic is unlike any other subject, even polymer chemists who do reactions and use organic chemicals all day have not done actual organic chemistry in years. They follow a recipe, same with chemical engineers who ensure the plumbing in the reaction and distillation towers is running but not the reactions taking place and how they happen. That's what consultants are for.
You have nothing to lose except stress and the risk of retaking this course which may postpone your expected graduation for a year. You may need organic for upper-division classes which aren't offered every semester. Imagine what dropping this course (or failing it) will cost you, growing interest on your loans, more tuition, and a lost year of salary and experience you could have earned if you graduated as planned. Try it and see what a difference it can make in your grade, your science education, and your lifetime earnings potential.
I have dozens of recommendations from pharmacists, dentists, and surgeons who got there with a little guidance. I can help you too, online or in person.
I am an organic chemist. I will only teach you at the level you are assigned. My background makes it easier for you.
Anyone can learn organic chemistry or the other subjects and standardized exams I've tutored. I focus on understanding and independence with a minimum of memorization. In fact, that's the only difference between an "A" and something that is unacceptable.
I hold a 100% pass rate (or better). I've learned how to make the subject simple, save you time, and learn so you retain it. We work at your pace (nothing else works) but we make progress immediately.
I establish rapport with students and quickly gauge what the difficulties are and what they concerns are.
I guide you through the process and make is a step by step process to outperform others, maintain peace of mind and graduate on time. Confidence is essential in organic. We build that first and clear ... read more
