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 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.
Protecting Groups in Synthesis
1
2- vs. 1
4-Addition Reactions
Grignard Reagents
Organometallic Compounds
Gilman Reagents (Organocuprates)
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.
Carbocation Stability and Rearrangement
Transition State in SN2 Reactions
SN1 vs. SN2 Reactions
Nucleophiles and Electrophiles
The Tutor and Student reviewed carbonyl compounds, their reactivity, and the influence of inductive and resonance effects on stability. They practiced predicting products and illustrating mechanisms for reduction reactions of various carbonyl derivatives using reagents like LiAlH4 and NaBH4, and began exploring organometallic compounds.
Carbonyl Compounds: Types and Reactivity
Inductive and Resonance Effects on Stability
Organometallic Reagents: Nucleophilic Carbon
Reduction of Carbonyls and Related Functional Groups
The Tutor and Student reviewed electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, focusing on the directing effects of activating and deactivating groups and the mechanisms of specific reactions like Friedel-Crafts and carbonyl reductions. They worked through an assignment that required predicting products and proposing synthetic routes based on these concepts.
Activating vs. Deactivating Groups
Ortho
Para
and Meta Directing Effects
Friedel-Crafts Reactions
Reduction of Carbonyls: Clemmensen and Wolff-Kishner
The tutor introduced electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, covering the mechanisms for bromination, nitration, sulfonation, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and acylation. The tutor also began discussing activating and deactivating groups and their influence on reaction products, with plans to continue this in the next session.
Aromatic Compounds
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
Substituent Effects on Aromatic Rings
The Tutor and Student reviewed organic chemistry concepts including Hückel's rule for aromaticity and various reaction mechanisms like ozonolysis and electrophilic addition. They worked through numerous practice problems, identifying starting materials, reagents, and products, and discussed preparation strategies for a comprehensive final exam.
