About

Sign up for a helpful crash course on organic chemistry—taught to you by a UCLA bioengineering student! This can seem like a daunting subject if you do not know what to expect. However, I am here to demystify this class by guiding you through the big subjects—from electric structure to different types of reactions! My goal is to not only give you a solid foundation, but to also inspire your interest in organic chemistry!
The class structure will consist of 45 minutes of lecture, where I’ll guide you through all the major units—breaking down the big ideas, core concepts, and commonly seen practice problems. By learning the foundations now, you will walk into your class with confidence, making all the difference. This is not meant for an in depth lesson, but a helpful insight.

View Profile

I'm a undergraduate bioengineering student in my sophomore year! I am also on a pre-dental path. I've always loved academics and tutoring my friends and I want to extend that to people across the country. I truly believe that everyone can learn anything successfully as long as they have a lesson that is tailored to them. My goal is to personalize each tutoring session to the student to engage them with the content. I specialize in math, science, SAT prep, and college applications.
