Chemistry class overview

My tutoring approach is a personalized and engaging one, focusing on structured and conceptual learning in Organic Chemistry. I use a variety of tech tools like Zoom, Google Docs and interactive whiteboards to deliver engaging and interactive lessons. Following a comprehensive curriculum, I tailor each and every session to meet the needs of Middle, High and Elementary School students. By emphasizing exam preparation and fostering a deep understanding of the subject, I ensure that my students excel academically. By implementing fast-paced drills and practice exercises to reinforce learned concepts my strength lies in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment that caters to the individual needs of each student, promoting a deeper understanding of complex concepts in a clear, lucid and understandable form.

Student learned 28 days ago

The session focused on reactions involving Grignard reagents, including their use in synthesizing carboxylic acids, ketones, and aldehydes. The Student also reviewed Williamson ether synthesis, including retro-synthesis and Fisher esterification mechanisms. The session concluded with cyanohydrin formation and conversions of nitriles to other functional groups; the Student will cover lactone formation, Wittig reagents, and acetal/ketal formation in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Grignard reagents, covering their definition, synthesis, reactivity, and various reactions with active hydrogens, carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), epoxides, dry ice, and nitriles. They practiced predicting reaction products and discussed the underlying mechanisms, including a brief introduction to the SN2 mechanism for alkylation. For future sessions, the Student will provide syllabus details regarding stereoselectivity, and the next class is planned to cover Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy.
