Organic Chemistry I & II | General Chemistry Tutor| College Professor

Garima G.

Need help with Organic Chemistry I or II? Whether you're preparing for an exam, struggling with reaction mechanisms, or working toward a higher grade, I'm here to help. I provide personalized online tutoring that focus on understanding concepts—not memorization.

About Me
I am a full-time community college chemistry professor and Ph.D. chemist with over 12 years of teaching experience. Since 2012, I have taught undergraduate Organic Chemistry I & II and General Chemistry (lecture and laboratory) at community colleges throughout Southern California. I also hold a Certificate in Teaching in Community Colleges (CSUDH) and have research experience at USC and in the pharmaceutical industry.
My Teaching Approach

I believe chemistry should make sense. Instead of memorizing reactions, I help students understand the reasoning behind them so they can confidently solve new problems on homework and exams. Every lesson is personalized to your course, instructor, and learning style in a supportive environment where questions are always encouraged.
