Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors
serving Seattle, WA

Helping students in their education is my passion. I understand how frustrating it is to keep trying on understanding a concept or master a skill without getting a satisfying result. I aim to help students enjoy learning and acquiring knowledge. Always remember that knowledge is power, and nobody can take it from you. I have sufficient tutoring and teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary settings. I worked as a tutor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I tutored college students different courses in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology. Also, l worked as a graduate teaching assistant at Marquette University. I taught the laboratory part of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry. Furthermore, l worked as a science teacher at different secondary schools. I taught science for grades 4,5,6, and 8. Also, l taught chemistry for grade 9. When it comes to my education, l have a bachelor degree in biology healthcare science and chemistry biomolecular science (double major). In addition, l have a master's degree in chemistry. I received my undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and my graduate education at Marquette University. I tutor for numerous subjects such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, human anatomy, developmental biology, ecology, and biochemistry. Also, l tutor for the GRE, DAT, TOEFL, and IELTS. My favorite subjects are the math, physics, biology, and chemistry subjects because l, simply, enjoy these fields. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style are based on practicing with various examples. When you are confronted with numerous problems to solve, you become more confident in that subject area. As a result, better performance in quizzes and exams. Outside of academia, learning about other cultures and countries around the world is my interest.

Reaction mechanisms are the backbone of organic chemistry, and most exam mistakes trace back to shaky arrow-pushing fundamentals. Abhinav teaches students to classify reactions by nucleophile-electrophile interactions first, then layer on stereochemistry and regiochemistry — an approach that turns a seemingly infinite number of reactions into a manageable set of patterns.

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and Troy spent two semesters teaching that language as an organic chemistry TA. He walks students through arrow-pushing, stereochemical outcomes, and retrosynthetic analysis by emphasizing the handful of recurring electronic patterns that make hundreds of reactions predictable rather than random.

Reaction mechanisms are the heart of organic chemistry, and they only make sense when a student can track electron movement and predict how functional groups behave. Malcolm is studying biochemistry and cell biology at Rice, where organic chemistry is foundational — he knows which arrow-pushing patterns show up repeatedly and teaches students to recognize them instead of memorizing hundreds of individual reactions.

Reaction mechanisms are the backbone of organic chemistry, and Natasha teaches them the way she learned them in her biomolecular engineering program — by tracing electron movement step by step until the logic feels inevitable rather than arbitrary. She digs into arrow-pushing, stereochemistry, and functional group reactivity by asking students to predict products before revealing answers, building real intuition for how molecules behave.

Having fought through orgo on the path to a 36 ACT and a biology degree — with MCAT prep sharpening every mechanism further — Aleeza knows exactly where students get tripped up on topics like carbonyl additions and substitution-vs-elimination decision-making. She teaches reaction patterns by connecting them back to the biological molecules they show up in, which makes the logic behind electron flow feel purposeful rather than abstract. Rated 4.9 by students.

Jonathan's human biology degree and pre-med track at Cornell meant organic chemistry wasn't just a prerequisite — it was the course that connected molecular structure to everything he'd later study in physiology and biochemistry. He tackles synthesis problems and spectroscopy interpretation by linking functional group behavior back to biological relevance, which gives students a reason to care about each mechanism. Rated 4.9 by students.

Reaction mechanisms click once you stop memorizing arrow-pushing patterns and start understanding why electrons move the way they do — nucleophilicity, sterics, leaving group stability. Mitchell's neuroscience degree required extensive organic chemistry coursework, and he breaks down everything from substitution and elimination reactions to carbonyl chemistry by connecting each mechanism to the electronic principles driving it.

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and Casey reads them fluently after years of bioengineering coursework that demanded constant fluency in electron-pushing, stereochemistry, and functional group transformations. She teaches students to recognize patterns across reaction types — why nucleophilic additions behave the way they do, how leaving groups dictate substitution vs. elimination — so each new chapter feels like a variation on something familiar rather than a fresh nightmare.

Reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry demand the same kind of pattern recognition Seong uses in her neuroscience coursework at Northwestern — tracking electron movement, predicting intermediates, and understanding why one pathway dominates over another. She unpacks arrow-pushing notation by tying each step to underlying principles of nucleophilicity and sterics, so students can reason through unfamiliar reactions on exams instead of relying on rote memorization.

Reaction mechanisms are essentially stories told with curved arrows, and the trick is learning to read them rather than memorize hundreds individually. Mark approaches organic chemistry by teaching students to recognize patterns — nucleophilic attacks, leaving group stability, steric effects — so they can predict products on reactions they've never seen before. His chemistry coursework at Notre Dame keeps these concepts fresh and grounded in real molecular behavior.

A bio-organic chemistry degree means Alex didn't just pass orgo — the entire major was built around understanding how molecular structure dictates reactivity, from substitution and elimination selectivity to multi-step synthesis design. He breaks down each mechanism by identifying the nucleophile, electrophile, and driving force first, so students develop a repeatable framework instead of a growing pile of flashcards. That same logic scales directly into spectroscopy interpretation and retrosynthetic analysis when exams get harder.

Being on the pre-med track at Northwestern while studying both biology and chemistry means Kade is taking organic chemistry alongside the same students he tutors — he knows which professors emphasize what, which problem sets are brutal, and where the common mistakes hide in topics like stereochemistry and acyl substitution. That proximity to the material gives him a practical, recently-tested understanding of how to break down multi-step synthesis problems into manageable pieces.
