Hi, I'm Conall! I am a passionate educator with a Master’s in Organic Chemistry and a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering from Montana State University. My journey in chemistry started with a fascination for natural product synthesis, but I truly found my calling while serving as the Head TA for Organic Chemistry. Over the course of three years, I’ve worked with hundreds of students, helping them navigate the complexities of reaction mechanisms, retrosynthesis, and NMR spectroscopy. I understand that for many, Organic Chemistry feels like a daunting wall of memorization. My goal is to break that wall down by teaching the underlying logic of electron flow and molecular stability, turning "memorization" into "intuition."
My tutoring approach is highly adaptive and student-led. Whether you are a pre-med student tackling O-Chem for the first time or an engineering major working through General Chemistry, I focus on identifying your specific roadblocks and building a personalized roadmap to mastery. Beyond just solving problems, I aim to provide the "why" behind every reaction, ensuring you feel confident both in the lab and on exam day. I am available for remote sessions and in-person sessions in the Bozeman area and look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals!
