Ezenwa Your chemistry tutor
My name is Francis and I am a third year student at the University of Regina, Regina, SK. I am currently pursuing a degree in mathematics and chemistry under the premedical tract. I am a dedicated and passionate teacher and mentor with years of tutoring experience in various subject areas; ranging from mathematics to sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology). I am a very interactive and engaging tutor and I am excited to making learning an interesting exercise for students. I see education and learning as a journey—a path, that both the tutor and the student moves along with guidance and confidence towards scientific discovery. I aim to ensure the academic prowess of students, and to instill the attribute of scientific inquisitiveness. Let us embark on this learning journey together for a brighter future and a wonderful road to potential success.

Chemistry class overview
My tutoring style is characterized with various modes of learning; ranging from visual learning and test preparation to discussions and class quizzes. I am more interested in interactive learning and student engagement than long sections of continuous reading. Additionally, I focus on exam preparations and completion of assignments or worksheets. I specialize in both chemistry and mathematics including organic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, linear algebra, Calculus and Vector calculus, physical concepts and so on. I cater to a diverse audience of 10+ students including college, high school, middle school, and so on. I am also very flexible in the sense that I am able to structure my learning styles to better fit the students’ preference, making sure that every student is satisfied. I look forward to instilling knowledge to various students.

Chemistry concepts taught by Ezenwa
The student and tutor reviewed acid-base chemistry, including various definitions of acids and bases, pH calculations, and titration concepts. They then transitioned to redox reactions, practicing oxidation state determination, equation balancing, and identifying oxidizing/reducing agents. The session concluded with a review of spontaneity and cell potentials, with the student working through practice problems.
Lewis Acids and Bases
Water Ionization and pH
Strong vs. Weak Acids and Bases
Redox Reactions and Oxidation Numbers
Titration and Equivalence Points
The Student and Tutor discussed preparations for an upcoming organic chemistry exam, covering IUPAC nomenclature, reaction mechanisms (Grignard reagents, organolithium reagents), epoxide synthesis, and IR/NMR spectroscopy. They planned to review reactions and reagents from a previously created list and then practice IR/NMR interpretation. The student has homework problems involving Grignard reagents and epoxide compounds.
IUPAC Nomenclature
Drawing Chemical Structures
Predicting Organic Products
Epoxide Chemistry
Synthesis and Mechanisms
Spectroscopy (IR and NMR)
The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts of oxidation and reduction, focusing on the reactions of aldehydes and ketones with Tollens' reagent and Benedict's solution. They practiced identifying functional groups, predicting reaction products for reduction, and understanding the relationship between aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols. The next session is planned for a refresher on oxidation and reduction before moving to Chapter 16.
Tollens' Reagent and Benedict's Solution
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
Oxidation and Reduction
Reversing Redox Reactions: Oxidation of Alcohols
The Student and Tutor delved into the chemistry of aldehydes and ketones, covering their structure, functional groups, electrophilic nature, nomenclature, isomerism, and physical properties like boiling point and solubility. They practiced drawing isomers and understanding intermolecular forces. The next session is scheduled for tomorrow to continue working through the material.
Aldehydes vs. Ketones
Structure-Property Relationships in Ketones and Aldehydes
Intermolecular Forces and Physical Properties
The Carbonyl Group (C=O)
The Student and Tutor reviewed organic chemistry concepts, focusing on alcohols, phenols, and ethers. They covered functional groups, molecular geometry, IUPAC naming of alcohols (including unsaturated ones), classification of alcohols (primary, secondary, tertiary), and hydrogen bonding. The Student practiced naming and classification, and they discussed the properties related to polarity and intermolecular forces.
