Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors
serving Bremerton, WA

Helping students in their education is my passion. I understand how frustrating it is to keep trying on understanding a concept or master a skill without getting a satisfying result. I aim to help students enjoy learning and acquiring knowledge. Always remember that knowledge is power, and nobody can take it from you. I have sufficient tutoring and teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary settings. I worked as a tutor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I tutored college students different courses in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology. Also, l worked as a graduate teaching assistant at Marquette University. I taught the laboratory part of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry. Furthermore, l worked as a science teacher at different secondary schools. I taught science for grades 4,5,6, and 8. Also, l taught chemistry for grade 9. When it comes to my education, l have a bachelor degree in biology healthcare science and chemistry biomolecular science (double major). In addition, l have a master's degree in chemistry. I received my undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and my graduate education at Marquette University. I tutor for numerous subjects such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, human anatomy, developmental biology, ecology, and biochemistry. Also, l tutor for the GRE, DAT, TOEFL, and IELTS. My favorite subjects are the math, physics, biology, and chemistry subjects because l, simply, enjoy these fields. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style are based on practicing with various examples. When you are confronted with numerous problems to solve, you become more confident in that subject area. As a result, better performance in quizzes and exams. Outside of academia, learning about other cultures and countries around the world is my interest.

Preparing for medical school means Benjamin ground through organic chemistry with the kind of intensity that only MCAT stakes demand — reaction mechanisms, carbonyl chemistry, and spectroscopy all studied until the logic behind each transformation became second nature. His evolutionary anthropology background at Duke also gives him a knack for seeing patterns across complex systems, which is exactly the skill that separates students who struggle with synthesis problems from those who can map a retrosynthetic pathway confidently. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having earned a chemistry degree from Yale, Zosia spent years immersed in the subject well past the introductory orgo sequence — which means she can contextualize tricky topics like electrophilic aromatic substitution and acyl chemistry within the broader landscape of how molecules actually behave. She walks students through spectral analysis and multi-step synthesis by building from first principles of electronegativity and sterics, so each new reaction type feels like an extension of what they already know rather than a fresh page to memorize. Rated 4.9 by students.

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and learning to read them — arrow pushing, stereochemistry, regiochemistry — requires a different kind of thinking than most science courses demand. Kevin studied organic chemistry as part of his biomedical engineering curriculum, where understanding molecular behavior was essential rather than optional. He walks students through each mechanism type until the logic behind substitution, elimination, and addition reactions becomes second nature.

As an MD/PhD student at Northwestern doing doctoral research in organic synthesis, Austin lives in the world of reaction design — figuring out which bonds to form, which protecting groups to use, and why one retrosynthetic route beats another. That daily immersion means he teaches mechanisms and stereochemistry with the fluency of someone who actually builds molecules, not just someone who once passed the course.

Reaction mechanisms are the language of organic chemistry, and Josef teaches students to read them — arrow pushing, stereochemistry, and functional group reactivity — rather than memorize hundreds of individual reactions. His biochemistry focus at Cornell means he can connect orgo concepts like nucleophilic substitution and carbonyl chemistry directly to biological molecules students will encounter later.

Reaction mechanisms become far more intuitive when you understand the electron-level logic behind each arrow push. Andrew earned his biochemistry degree and continues working in biochemical laboratories, so he teaches organic chemistry as a language of molecular behavior — connecting nucleophilic substitutions, elimination pathways, and carbonyl chemistry to the biological contexts where they actually matter.

Reaction mechanisms are the core of organic chemistry, and most students struggle because they try to memorize arrow-pushing patterns instead of understanding why electrons move where they do. Jamie has tutored organic chemistry extensively alongside his pre-med and medical coursework, and he teaches students to read a mechanism the way you'd read a sentence — identifying the nucleophile, the electrophile, and the driving force before ever drawing an arrow.

Reaction mechanisms are the backbone of organic chemistry, and most students struggle not because the material is impossibly hard but because they try to memorize hundreds of reactions instead of recognizing patterns. Manpinder approaches orgo by teaching students to trace electron movement through arrow-pushing — once that skill clicks, predicting products for substitution, elimination, and addition reactions becomes systematic rather than overwhelming.

Chemical engineering at Cornell meant Rahul didn't just pass organic chemistry — he applied it daily in reactor design, synthesis planning, and thermodynamic analysis of reaction pathways. That engineering lens gives him a distinctive angle on topics like carbonyl chemistry and stereoselectivity, where he ties mechanism logic back to energy landscapes and kinetic versus thermodynamic control. Rated 4.9 by students.

Reaction mechanisms are the heart of organic chemistry, and they only make sense when a student can track electron movement and predict how functional groups behave. Malcolm is studying biochemistry and cell biology at Rice, where organic chemistry is foundational — he knows which arrow-pushing patterns show up repeatedly and teaches students to recognize them instead of memorizing hundreds of individual reactions.

Reaction mechanisms click when you understand electron movement — why a nucleophile attacks one carbon over another, how steric hindrance redirects a pathway, what drives an elimination versus a substitution. Enric's PhD in Chemistry means he's spent years thinking at the mechanistic level and can unpack arrow-pushing, stereochemistry, and retrosynthetic analysis in ways that make each reaction type feel logical rather than arbitrary.

Most organic chemistry struggles come down to not recognizing patterns — why a nucleophile attacks here and not there, or how electron-pushing arrows predict a product. Eric's graduate training in chemistry means he teaches reaction mechanisms as a connected framework of electronic and steric principles rather than a list of isolated reactions. Students rated him 5.0.
