Amira
Certified Organic Chemistry Tutor
Amira
BA Northwestern University
5+ Years Tutoring

Amira's neuroscience degree at Northwestern required her to master organic chemistry from both the chemistry and biological sides — understanding how functional groups on neurotransmitters determine receptor binding, how drug metabolism depends on carbonyl reactivity, and why stereochemistry matters at the molecular level. That dual perspective lets her teach synthesis and mechanism problems with concrete examples students actually remember.

Felix
Certified Organic Chemistry Tutor
Felix
BA University of Georgia • Doctor of Medicine, Medicine Duke University
1+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and Felix learned to speak it fluently during his biochemistry degree, where arrow-pushing wasn't optional — it was survival. He teaches students to recognize patterns across reaction types, whether they're tackling nucleophilic substitutions, elimination competitions, or carbonyl additions, so each new chapter feels like a variation on a theme rather than a fresh nightmare.

Priya
BA University of Central Florida
6+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms are essentially stories — each arrow push has a reason rooted in electron density, sterics, and leaving-group ability. Priya approaches organic chemistry by teaching students to read those stories rather than memorize hundreds of individual reactions, drawing on the biochemistry she encounters in her Burnett Medical Scholars coursework at UCF.

Daniel
BA United States Naval Academy
5+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms become manageable once a student can track electron flow and recognize nucleophile-electrophile pairs without second-guessing. Daniel's chemistry degree gave him deep practice with arrow-pushing and stereochemistry, and he teaches orgo by building each mechanism from a small set of recurring patterns rather than treating every reaction as a new thing to memorize.

Kevin
BA University of California-San Diego
1+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and Kevin reads them fluently after years of science coursework at UCSD and medical school at UCF. He breaks down arrow-pushing, stereochemistry, and functional group reactivity by emphasizing the electron-density patterns that predict product formation — so students learn to reason through new reactions instead of memorizing hundreds of individual outcomes.

Harrison
BA University of Central Florida
5+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms are the storytelling of organic chemistry — each arrow describes electrons moving for a specific reason, not at random. Harrison's research background in nanotechnology keeps him fluent in the thermodynamic and electronic arguments behind substitution, elimination, and addition reactions, so he can explain why a mechanism proceeds the way it does instead of asking students to memorize hundreds of individual reactions.

Payal
BA University of Miami
1+ Years Tutoring

Payal's physics degree means she thinks about organic chemistry the way a physicist would — tracking electron density, orbital overlap, and energy barriers rather than treating each mechanism as a standalone recipe. That quantitative instinct is especially useful for topics like conjugation, aromaticity, and reaction kinetics, where understanding the 'why' behind electron movement makes predicting products far more reliable than memorizing outcomes.

Viral
Current Undergrad Student, Biology, General University of Miami
8+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms are the backbone of organic chemistry, and getting lost in arrow-pushing early makes every subsequent chapter harder. Viral approaches orgo by drilling the electron logic behind substitution, elimination, and addition reactions so students can predict products instead of memorizing hundreds of individual transformations. His biology background also means he connects organic reactions to the biochemical pathways where they actually matter.

1+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and Roy treats them that way — each arrow-pushing step tells a story about electron density, nucleophilicity, and leaving-group ability. His science training at UF required mastering multi-step synthesis and retrosynthetic analysis, so he walks students through everything from substitution and elimination to carbonyl chemistry with a focus on the logic behind each transformation.

Max
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

Max spent much of high school independently pursuing organic chemistry through coursework and projects well beyond what was required — the kind of deep, self-driven study that builds real fluency with reaction types and synthesis logic. His chemistry degree from MIT and mathematical instincts mean he approaches problems like retrosynthetic analysis and multi-step mechanism design as structured puzzles, breaking each one into clear decision points. Rated 5.0 by students.

Andrew
PhD Boston University • BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

Reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry are essentially molecular storytelling — electron pairs move, bonds break and form, and stereochemistry shifts in predictable ways. Andrew's molecular biology training required deep fluency with organic reactions at the biomolecular level, so he teaches arrow-pushing and functional group transformations as logical sequences rather than steps to memorize.

James
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying chemistry at Harvard while preparing for Columbia Medical School means James has worked through organic chemistry from both the academic and pre-med sides — understanding mechanisms deeply enough to satisfy a chemistry major, and efficiently enough to apply them in biochemistry and pharmacology contexts. He's particularly strong at teaching students how to predict reaction outcomes by analyzing charge stability and leaving group trends rather than treating each transformation as a new thing to memorize. Rated 4.9 by students.

Junpei
BA Johns Hopkins University • Professional (JD, MD, DMD, etc) Virginia Commonwealth University
2+ Years Tutoring

I'm a current medical student at VCU School of Medicine, and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I've had the pleasure of tutoring a diverse range of students for 5 years; while I tutor a broad set of subjects, I'm most passionate about biology, psychology, and chemistry. I'm a big proponent of ensuring understanding over memorization and teaching concepts that last for years to come (particularly for other students interested in medicine!) In my free time, I love to write poetry, edit essays, and gush about game writing with friends.
