Chemistry class overview
As a passionate Chemistry tutor with over a decade of experience and a Master’s degree in Chemistry, I have had the privilege of working with more than 200 students across Elementary, Middle, High School, and College levels. My tutoring approach is the result of years of refining strategies that are engaging, structured, and highly interactive—designed to foster true understanding, academic growth, and confidence. I believe that Chemistry is not just a subject, but a fascinating way to understand the world around us. However, for many students, Chemistry can initially feel overwhelming due to its abstract concepts, complex reactions, and unfamiliar vocabulary. My job is to make these concepts approachable, logical, and even enjoyable—by simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into digestible pieces, and linking them to real-world applications that students can relate to.

Chemistry concepts taught by Manpreet
The session covered chemical reactions of aldehydes and ketones, including the formation of acetals, cyanohydrins, imines, enamines, and alkenes via Wittig reaction and Wolff-Kishner reduction. The student practiced identifying products and understanding reaction mechanisms. The next class will involve reviewing assignments and then starting the topic of carboxylic acids.
Addition of Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)
Wittig Reaction
Wolff-Kishner Reduction
Reaction with Amines: Imine and Enamine Formation
Acetal and Hemiacetal Formation
The Tutor and Student reviewed aldehydes and ketones, covering their general properties, nomenclature (both IUPAC and common names), and methods of preparation. They then delved into physical properties and detailed the mechanisms of reversible nucleophilic addition reactions, particularly the addition of water under acidic and basic catalysis, along with factors affecting reactivity. The next session will cover further addition reactions.
Aldehydes and Ketones: Functional Group & Polarity
Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Ketones
Preparation Methods for Aldehydes
Preparation Methods for Ketones
Physical Properties of Aldehydes & Ketones
Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
The class session focused on organic chemistry, specifically organometallic reagents, nucleophilic addition reactions, and multi-step synthesis problems. The student practiced identifying valid reagents, predicting reaction products, and understanding reaction mechanisms, with a review of protecting group strategies for aromatic amines.

Organometallic Reagents: Grignard and Gilman
The tutor and student reviewed electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS), including general mechanisms, substituent effects (activating/deactivating, ortho/para/meta directing), and specific reactions like nitration and Friedel-Crafts. They also covered reduction (Clemensen, Wolff-Kishner, catalytic hydrogenation) and oxidation reactions, and practiced reasoning questions related to these topics. The session concluded with an introduction to carbonyl chemistry and a preview of organometallic compounds for the next class.

Carbonyl Chemistry: Reactivity and Addition
The Tutor and Student reviewed organometallic compounds, focusing on Grignard reagents and their mechanisms. They practiced predicting products of reactions with epoxides, esters, and carbonyl compounds, and discussed 1,2 vs. 1,4 addition reactions. The next session will focus on reviewing assignments and further practice.

The Tutor provided an overview of key organic chemistry concepts, including the definitions and differences between nucleophiles and electrophiles. They then detailed the mechanisms, characteristics, and conditions for SN1 and SN2 reactions, emphasizing carbocation stability and the role of hydride and methyl shifts in reaction pathways.
