Description

With almost a decade of experience tutoring OChem I at post-secondary institutions across North America, I have found that the curriculum is similar between many schools (despite the different course codes). This course is an excellent resource for any students taking an undergraduate OChem I course who are looking for a one-stop shop for understanding the core ideas in Organic Chemistry.


This course is not meant to replace your lecture notes! Your professor makes your test, and their lecture notes should be the "ground source of truth". However, my videos and problems are designed to help you build a solid foundation quickly so that you can better understand you lecture notes. Students using this course save countless hours of studying to achieve great grades.


I have had direct experience tutoring the following courses:

UofA: Chem 261

SFU: Chem 281

UofC: Chem 351

Berkeley: Chem 3A

UCSD: Chem 40A

Rutgers: Chem 307

University of Michigan: Chem 210

And more!


The goal of this course is to provide a cost-effective, topic-by-topic resource that you can use in your own time to learn about material before your professors’ lectures, or to help solidify the concepts after them. For each concept, I will go into detail about the material in video lectures, with a focus on the common mistakes and helpful tips and tricks to ensure you have a solid foundation. The layout of the course is comprehensive, and matches the order of the material typically taught, making this a one-stop shop for your needs as a student!


Who this course is for:

  • Students who want to excel in OChem I, and are willing to put in the work to get there!
  • Students who are looking for tutoring, but find the cost of weekly sessions unmanageable.
  • Students who want to save time studying, and want to understand the core concepts with applied practice!
