From my own experience of struggling through High School Chemistry to receiving a PhD in Chemistry from Princeton University under the supervision of a Nobel Prize winner, I am convinced that everyone has the ability to do well in this subject. The trick is having the right teacher and the right way of approaching the material. My responsibility as your tutor is to break down complex O-Chem concepts in to simple patterns that are easy to process. With this approach, you will not have to memorize a million reactions. Instead, you will learn to rely on a small set of trends that are intuitive, and allow you to tackle even the most complex problems with ease.
I am currently a senior scientist at a large pharmaceutical company in the Philadelphia area. I hold a BS from Boston University in Chemistry and both a MS and PhD in Chemistry from Princeton University. My PhD supervisor was David W. C. MacMillan who was the recipient of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. I have published several scientific articles in top tier scientific journals including the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Science Magazine.
I love organic chemistry and I love sharing this subject with students that I teach or tutor. I have 2 years of direct tutoring experience and was a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 while completing my PhD at Princeton.
