Course Overview
A topic-by-topic breakdown of OChem/Orgo II, with videos and problem sets to help you conquer chemistry!
With almost a decade of experience tutoring OChem II at post-secondary institutions across North America, I have found that the curriculum is similar between many schools (despite the different course codes). This course is an excellent resource for any students taking an undergraduate OChem II course who are looking for a one-stop shop for understanding the core ideas in Organic Chemistry.
This course is not meant to replace your lecture notes! Your professor makes your test, and their lecture notes should be the "ground source of truth". However, my videos and problems are designed to help you build a solid foundation quickly so that you can better understand you lecture notes. Students using this course save countless hours of studying to achieve great grades.
I have had direct experience tutoring the following courses:
UofA: Chem 263
SFU: Chem 282
McMaster: 2OB3
UofC: Chem 353
UBC: Chem 213
Berkeley: Chem 3B
UCSD: Chem 40B
Rutgers: Chem 308
University of Michigan: Chem 215
And more!
The goal of this course is to provide a cost-effective, topic-by-topic resource that you can use in your own time to learn about material before your professors’ lectures, or to help solidify the concepts after them. For each concept, I will go into detail about the material in video lectures, with a focus on the common mistakes and helpful tips and tricks to ensure you have a solid foundation. The layout of the course is comprehensive, and matches the order of the material typically taught, making this a one-stop shop for your needs as a student!

What You’ll Learn
- Learn how to approach NMR spectra with a step-by-step approach and the "Doorway" method, while also understanding the complexities of multiplicity, Understand the core concepts in Molecular Orbital Theory as they apply to conjugated and aromatic systems. Including reactions of conjugated systems, Learn the step-by-step mechanisms of OChem II chemical reactions: Aromatic Rings, Carbonyls Reactions, Carboxylic Acid Derivatives, Enol reactions and more!, Break down Carbonyl reactions into Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode 3 Reactions. A framework for organizing the complexity of carbonyls, You will gain hands-on practice, both by following along with my "work-along" videos at the end of each chapter, and by doing practice problems yourself!

Great instruction, Could not understand anything from this course through lectures, but these videos made it so much more clear. The distinctions of Mode 1 and 2 made it so simple to understand the reactions! Would 100% recommend
