Hello! I am a seasoned chemistry tutor specializing in organic chemistry. I am a former college professor seeking students interested in not only passing but mastering the art of organic synthesis. In addition to building organic chemistry courses from the ground up, I have competency in biochemistry and general chemistry (and can tutor these subjects ad hoc).

I am familiar with many texts and has plenty of sample problems from years of teaching. My students will receive an organic chemistry handbook as well as lecture slides that I have authored and used in my lectures for free. My handbook breaks down topics into understandable chunks. I focus not on rote memorization (though knowing your reaction tool box is key) but on how to use concepts like Lewis Acid/Lewis Base to decipher all sorts of challenges in organic chemistry.

As a little more information about me, I possess a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry and actively taught several courses in organic chemistry at multiple instutions (UCONN, UPenn, VCU). During that time I gained 15+ years of tutoring experience. I am always excited to help students crack the code of organic chemistry and succeed on exams!

Outstanding Organic Chemistry Tutor – Clear, Thorough, and Truly Exceptional!

I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. His ability to break down complex organic chemistry concepts and explain them in such a clear, structured way made all the difference in my understanding of the subject. Thanks to his patient and thorough teaching style, I was able to grasp even the most challenging topics.

Very helpful tutor

Christopher helped me with organic synthesis reactions . He explained each question in detail breaking them down into smaller steps. He helped me to identify my weaknesses and improve my problem solving skills. Thank you,

Great tutor

Scheduled a session with him to review practice problems and he did a great job answering all of my questions and explaining the mechanisms behind the answers. Will definitely be scheduling more sessions!

Very helpful in OChem I and II

I have worked with Christopher since October of 2024 for OChem I and II. In my experience, he is pretty available in the evenings which has enabled me to have a consistent study schedule with him. This is unlike some other tutors who I've worked with who tend to have very limited availability or who only work in the mornings, which doesn't tend to work in the schedules of busy college students. I think that he breaks down concepts very well and efficiently, so that I can go over a lot of content in a short period of time. He gives me the opportunity to show my own thinking on problem sets, while also helping out when I'm super stuck on questions. I have found him to particularly helpful when it comes to learning IR spectroscopy, and he has given me a lot of strategies to figure it out quicker and more accurately. It is apparent that he is highly competent in the field of chemistry and is able to break concepts down for people who aren't intuitive in understanding chemistry such as myself. I haven't received help from Christopher in anything other than OChem I and II, but I'm sure he would be very helpful in other chemistry-based topics as well.

10/10

He was knowledgable about all topics and was flexible with how I was conducting my sessions. He can explain things clearly and quickly, and will give you as much detail as you ask. Sometimes I would come with many questions/problems prepared and we would always have enough time to get through all of them. I would totally recommend him

Great Tutor!

Christopher was a great resource during my organic chemistry course. He was patient and knowledgeable during lessons. He even included fun background information to make learning more fun! He was flexible and responsive when scheduling, which was especially helpful during exam season. My grade improved a full letter grade from the previous semester with his help!

awesome teacher

Every session with Christopher is really helpful and he’s really patient and make sure I understand the assignment by breaking everything down.

Christopher is great at everything explaining concepts

Chris helped me understand concepts and is easy to work with. I highly recommend him for organic chemistry. He also is quick to respond and can find convenient times that work for you even across a different time zone.

great organic chemistry tutor!!

Great tutor! Was super knowledgeable in all the material solved all my questions without hesitation!! Got so much done in just one hour I was so shocked and so appreciative !

Jess, 1 lesson with Christopher

Patient and informative tutor

Christopher was incredibly patient and helped me work through every problem that I was confused about. He made sure that I fully understood each concept, and he took the time to provide online resources that would help me with future problems. I will definitely be signing up for more tutoring sessions with him!
