Hello! My name is Anna and I’m a full-time faculty member specializing in organic chemistry. I have taught thousands of students in the classroom and many more one-on-one. I want to help you reach your organic chemistry goals!

I realized my passion for teaching during my undergraduate degree when I became involved in both one-on-one and group tutoring for general and organic chemistry. I continued this passion into my graduate and post doctoral teaching positions at two of the worlds best teaching institutions, Princeton and Cambridge Universities.

As I moved into my teaching career at the faculty level, I developed my classes and teaching style to focus on understanding of the course concepts. Organic chemistry makes a lot of sense, when someone takes the time to tell you why. I genuinely love that moment when something “clicks” for a student and organic chemistry is beginning to make some sense. Let’s make this happen for you!

I am a faculty member at a Colorado university and I teach organic chemistry every day. I have taught courses from the 200-level foundational level to the 400-level advanced organic synthesis and class sizes ranging from 15 to nearly 500. I can help you with your organic chemistry at any level. I completed a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry at Princeton, followed by a teaching-focused post-doctoral fellowship at Cambridge University. I have been teaching organic chemistry at the College level as faculty for 7 years and have been tutoring chemistry for over 20 years.

Contact me and start getting help now! Did you miss a class or want to get ahead? We can do a private lesson. Are you struggling to connect the concepts? We can build bridges between those islands. Do you have no idea where to start when you sit down to study? That’s okay! We can start together. Organic chemistry is hard, but it does not have to feel impossible. We will work to make sure you understand the concepts and don’t need to rely on brute force memorization as well as look at patterns that will

Knowledgeable and Helpful

Anna is extremely gifted at explaining a variety of different topics in different ways that make sense. She can look at my work and guide me through to the next step with patience and understanding. My confidence has increased because she has worked with me to reinforce basic understanding instead of just teaching to a test or set of questions. I have used her for Organic 1 and 2 after trying many different tutors who were unable to make things “click” for me. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Anna!!!

Knowledgeable, Friendly and Good at the Details

I had a fantastic tutoring session with Anna. She was able to fill in the small details that helped me understand part of my organic chemistry quizzes that I kept missing. She helped me practice until I was able to complete everything correctly. Great tutor! I highly recommend her and was thankful for her help.

Anna made OChem so much easier!

I’ve been working with Anna for the past 9 months, starting even before my Organic Chemistry class began over the summer. We met multiple times a week throughout both semesters, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t have gotten an A+ without her. She’s incredibly reliable, never cancels, responds to messages quickly, and is always flexible with scheduling. What sets Anna apart is how well she knows the material. She can answer any question on the spot and explains concepts in a way that actually makes sense. After teaching, she always gives me time to ask questions and never makes me feel rushed or judged for needing extra time to understand something. She’s also generous with resources and gives plenty of extra practice when you ask. Her patience and clarity make all the difference, especially for a subject as difficult as O Chem. O Chem is tough, but with Anna, it becomes manageable and even rewarding. She’s the kind of tutor every student hopes to find. Thanks Anna!!!

excellent instruction

Great teacher. Very patient and friendly. Helped my son who was struggling with college organic chemistry. Definitely recommend Anna as a tutor.

Mike, 5 lessons with Anna

Very patient

I learn slower than most and Dr. Anna has been very patient with me, explaining the material at a pace that I can understand. Organic chemistry is very challenging but after she explains the material, she lets me walk through a problem and provides great feedback. I actually end up getting the answers right! I feel better prepared to do the homework and my confidence is growing.

Very helpful and patient!

Anna was able to help me pin down the parts of Organic Chemistry I was struggling with, and helped me work through them by giving me practice problems. I highly recommend her for Orgo!

Helpful and Knowledgeable in Orgo

Anna A. helped me in Organic Chemistry I and II. She explained and broke down difficult topics in Organic Chemistry. There were some sessions in which I needed clarifications of particular concepts, and others when I had specific questions. She also showed helpful tricks on how to solve difficult organic chemistry problems. She also gave some practice problems which helped me grasp the material better for particular concepts I needed more practice on. I learned a lot from her sessions and it greatly enhanced my understanding of the material. I would highly recommend Anna A. as a tutor for Organic Chemistry.
