College Organic Chemistry Private Tutor — Master Logic, Not Memorization
Hello, are you looking for an organic chemistry private tutor? Then you are at the right place. Let me introduce myself. My name is Sube Singh, and I have been teaching organic chemistry for the last 8 years. I provide private tutoring for college-level organic chemistry.
I have completed my Master’s in Organic Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), and in the last 5 years alone, I have helped many students studying at different universities in the USA. I have students studying at MIT, Stanford University, the University of Texas, etc. If you are also looking for one-on-one organic chemistry tutoring, then you can connect with me.

Overcome Your Organic Chemistry Struggles
I also provide a free demo class so that you can analyze my teaching methodology and understand the way I teach.
My approach focuses on understanding the logic behind organic chemistry rather than memorizing hundreds of reactions, which can be very difficult to do.
If you are struggling with organic chemistry, then let me tell you that you are not alone. Organic chemistry requires a strong conceptual foundation and an understanding of many different concepts. I will help you build a strong foundation so that you can solve difficult organic chemistry problems. I will work on your weak areas and build a structured plan to improve your understanding.
Why Work with an Organic Chemistry Private Tutor?
Let me tell you one thing: organic chemistry can be more challenging than the introductory science courses we study in high school. You simply cannot succeed by just memorizing reactions. You have to understand how the reaction is happening and understand the mechanism of the organic reaction. Only then will you be able to solve the questions, and this is where personalized tutoring can help you.
What I have observed is that professors at different universities in the US usually have limited time to complete the syllabus. They may simply prepare the slides and go through the material very quickly, making it difficult for students to understand the concepts.
With one-on-one organic chemistry tutoring sessions, the sessions will be entirely focused on your needs. You can ask as many questions as you want, and I can explain the reactions as many times as you need.
One-on-One Tutoring Sessions Can Help You:
- Understand difficult organic chemistry concepts
- Learn reaction mechanisms step by step
- Improve your problem-solving approach
- Practice a lot of organic chemistry questions
- Understand stereochemistry and molecular structures
- Interpret NMR and IR spectroscopy problems, which are very common topics in most US universities
- Check whether you have completed your homework properly
Who I Help
My private tutoring for college organic chemistry is designed for students with different academic backgrounds and goals.
Organic Chemistry Tutoring for Pre-Med Students
Organic chemistry is an important part of the syllabus for pre-med students. If you are taking organic chemistry as one of your undergraduate courses, then you need a deep understanding of organic chemistry. An organic chemistry tutor for pre-med students can help you focus on concepts rather than simply memorizing reactions.
I will help you cover topics such as:
- Functional groups & Resonance
- Acids and bases
- Nucleophiles and electrophiles
- Reaction mechanisms
- Stereochemistry
- Substitution and elimination
- Alkene and alkyne reactions
- Aromatic chemistry
- Carbonyl chemistry
- Organic synthesis
- Spectroscopy (And more)
Private Tutoring for Chemistry Majors
If you are pursuing a chemistry major, then you definitely need a deeper understanding of organic chemistry. I will help you connect different concepts together, such as electronic effects, stereochemistry, and reaction conversions.
Organic Chemistry 1 and 2
I provide support for students studying Organic Chemistry 1 and Organic Chemistry 2. The exact topics covered will depend upon your college syllabus and individual needs.
Organic Chemistry 1
Some of the most common Organic Chemistry 1 topics include:
- Atomic structure
- Hydrogen bonding
- Hybridization
- Molecular structure
- Functional groups
- Resonance
- Acids and bases
- Conformation
- Stereochemistry
- Nucleophiles and electrophiles
- Leaving groups
- SN1 and SN2 reactions
- E1 and E2 reactions
- Alkene and alkyne reactions
- Radical reactions
Organic Chemistry 2
Organic Chemistry 2 mostly builds upon the concepts you learn in the first course. Topics may include:
- Aromatic compounds
- Electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution
- Aldehydes and ketones
- Carboxylic acids & derivatives
- Aldol reactions & Condensations
- Amines
- Multi-step synthesis
- Spectroscopy (NMR, IR, Mass spectrometry)
Let me tell you one thing: Organic Chemistry 2 will heavily depend on the fundamentals you learned in Organic Chemistry 1. So, if you haven’t properly completed Organic Chemistry 1, then a quick revision of the fundamentals will definitely be required so that you can understand the concepts of Organic Chemistry 2.
Core Topic Focus & Specialization
Reaction Mechanism Training
Without understanding reaction mechanisms, you will never be able to predict the products of reactions. First, you should identify which reagent will attack which site of the reactant. Only then will you be able to predict the product. If you simply memorize reactions, you may not even be able to identify where the reaction will occur in a molecule.
SN1 and SN2 Mechanisms
SN1 and SN2 reactions are foundational topics in organic chemistry and are very frequently tested in college courses. Most students simply memorize the basic differences between SN1 and SN2, but let me tell you that this alone is not going to work. You have to deeply understand the concepts behind SN1 and SN2 reactions. A private tutor can help you understand how carbocation stability, nucleophilic strength, and leaving groups define the outcome of these reactions.
Organic Chemistry Synthesis Problems
This is one of the most difficult areas for many students. You may be given a starting material and asked to determine the final product using different sequences of reactions. In synthesis problems, you have to recognize:
- Functional group transformations
- Oxidation and reduction
- Carbon-carbon bond formation
- Nucleophilic substitution & Elimination
- Carbonyl chemistry
- Protecting groups and deprotection
- Stereochemistry
Stereochemistry Help
Students often struggle with stereochemistry because molecules need to be visualized in three dimensions. I will help you understand:
- Chirality, Enantiomers & Diastereomers
- Meso compounds
- R and S configuration
- E and Z configuration
- Fischer projections & Newman projections
- Chair conformations
NMR, IR, and Spectroscopy Tutoring
Spectroscopy is also an area where students often need additional support. I will help you understand Proton NMR, Carbon-13 NMR, IR spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, and Chemical shifts. I will help you identify the different chemical environments of different hydrogen and carbon atoms so that spectroscopy problems become easier to understand.
Exam Preparation & Homework Help
Exam Preparation: If you have an upcoming organic chemistry exam, tutoring can be focused specifically on your exam syllabus. As an organic chemistry exam prep tutor, I can help you prepare for your upcoming exam in a short period of time. We will review important questions, practice problems, and analyze previous exams.
Homework Help: If you find your organic chemistry homework assignments difficult to solve, then I can help you understand and solve those assignments and prepare you well for your upcoming exams.
