A passionate organic chemistry tutor with a doctorate in organic/medicinal chemistry — teaching one-to-one since 2007, from first-year fundamentals to spectroscopy. Around a hundred organic chemistry students a year, from all over the world.
Bonding, hybridization, bond-line structures, electronegativity, acids and bases, stereochemistry — the concepts every later mechanism stands on. Get these right and the subject stops feeling like memorization.
Substitution and elimination, alkene and alkyne additions, aromatic substitution, enols and enolates, carbonyl chemistry, amines — taught with curly arrows and reasoning, so you predict products on unseen problems.
IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy — reading spectra and determining structures, a favourite exam area and Dr. Ramajayam's own teaching specialty alongside medicinal and analytical chemistry.
I am a passionate organic chemistry tutor. In addition to organic chemistry, I love to teach allied subjects like medicinal chemistry and analytical chemistry topics — UV, IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. Generally, I prefer one-to-one teaching rather than groups. In addition to tutoring, I extend support to students who need short and crisp learning material for any Organic chemistry topic. Every year I tutor at least a hundred organic chemistry students from all over the world — talking about the mechanism that makes a reaction possible, and then applying those skills to decode biological reactions.
Functional Groups — Nucleophile & Electrophile | from our channel
Nucleophiles and electrophiles — the vocabulary of every mechanism — from Dr. Ramajayam's YouTube channel. This is the teaching style: visual, patient, and built on reasoning.
“100% awesome. I was having so much trouble and this helped me pass my tests and gain more confidence in organic chemistry. I will definitely recommend the professor to all my friends!”

We find exactly where the thread was lost — often earlier than students think — and plan from there.
Mechanisms on a live whiteboard, doubts cleared as they appear, notes and practice problems for each topic.
Exam-style practice with step-by-step review, until unseen problems feel like familiar decisions.
Synthesis fails when reactions are stored as flashcards. We build a mechanism-first map of the reactions, so multi-step synthesis becomes chaining decisions you already understand.
There is a fixed reading order — molecular formula, degrees of unsaturation, IR functional groups, then NMR pieces. We practice that order until structure determination is systematic.
That is exactly what one-to-one fixes. The pace is yours, and every 'small' question gets answered — those are usually the load-bearing ones.
“He gave me the exact information I needed and didn't ramble. He kept my interest and I feel more confident about my test now.”
