About Jeremy
In addition to private tutoring, I have held several chemistry teaching positions:
- GSI (teaching assistant) at UC Berkeley for Chem 3A/B (sophomore organic chemistry)
- GSI for graduate-level organic synthesis
- TA for analytical chemistry
- Lab instructor for general chemistry
What makes organic chemistry so difficult is the number of different types of concepts that are covered in such a short time. These concepts build on each other, so it's important to have a good understanding of each concept as the course progresses. Some of the common topics that I cover:
- Electronic structure and bonding
- Drawing compounds
- Resonance structures
- Stereochemistry
- Thermodynamics, kinetics, and energy diagrams
- Functional groups
- Drawing arrow pushing mechanisms (e.g. radical reactions, SN1, SN2, E1, E2, reactions of carbonyls, etc.)
- Recognizing reaction types
- Predicting products
- Retrosynthesis and synthetic planning
- Aromaticity
- Biomolecules (e.g. carbohydrates and peptides)
- Lab techniques
- Spectroscopy and structure elucidation

Organic chemistry is one of the most difficult courses offered in college. Success not only does it require learning an entirely new set of material but also the ability to apply that knowledge to problems on the exams.
The best tutoring sessions are when students bring problem sets to work on. This gives me the opportunity to see how well you both understand the material and also apply it. If necessary, I can provide a mini-lecture on demand to review any material that you might have missed in class or didn't quite grasp the first time around. The goal is to make sure that you can complete exam style problems.
Face-to-face tutoring is the best, but I also offer online sessions for people with full schedules or limited transportation.
