One-on-one tutoring for Organic Chemistry 2 — carbonyl chemistry, aromatic reactions, multi-step synthesis, and spectroscopy — for US college and pre-med students.

Book Your Orgo 2 Trial ClassOrgo 2 is where organic chemistry becomes cumulative — synthesis problems require combining several mechanisms at once. Sessions focus on building that combination skill directly.
“Multi-step synthesis feels completely overwhelming.”
We train retrosynthetic thinking directly — starting from the target molecule and working backward — instead of hoping you'll pattern-match your way to an answer.
“I never know which reagent to use for a given step.”
We build a functional-group-first framework: what does this reagent do, and what functional group does it need to act on? That turns reagent choice from memorization into logic.
“NMR and spectroscopy problems are overwhelming.”
We break spectra interpretation into a repeatable process — count signals, read splitting patterns, cross-reference with IR and mass spec — so problems stop feeling random.
“I passed Orgo 1 but Orgo 2 feels like a completely different subject.”
Orgo 2 assumes fluency with Orgo 1 mechanisms. We quickly identify and close any gaps from Orgo 1 so the jump to synthesis and aromatics doesn't feel like starting over.
We quickly confirm your mechanism fundamentals from Orgo 1 are solid before building on top of them.
Instead of memorizing reagent lists, you learn to reason about what each reagent does to a functional group.
You learn to work backward from a target molecule to plan a synthesis route, step by step.
NMR, IR, and mass spec are taught as a repeatable process, not a guessing game.
You practice on synthesis and structure-determination problems similar to your actual course exams.
We analyze incorrect answers together to find the specific reasoning gap, not just mark it wrong.
