About Emily
Clarity arrives when you finally connect individual reaction mechanisms into a cohesive mental framework. This transition happens during our sessions as we systematically dissect functional groups and complex retrosynthesis patterns. I bring 2 years of experience to these interactions, ensuring we address your specific hurdles.
Every student works through a synthesis roadmap practice every session to solidify their grasp of the material. We move beyond rote memorization to understand the underlying logic of resonance and acidity. This systematic approach effectively serves college chemistry majors and exam candidates alike.
Building a foundation in SN1 and SN2 reactions allows for deeper success in more advanced topics. Working through these puzzles together is genuinely rewarding as the pieces start to click.

Studying medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine shaped my perspective on complex science. I am currently in my final year of medical school after scoring in the 99th percentile on the MCAT. My practice focuses on supporting college chemistry majors, A-level chemistry students, IB students, exam candidates, and MCAT candidates. I have 2 years of experience helping students overcome walls in organic chemistry.
My expertise includes synthesis pathways, SN1 and SN2 reactions, and radical reactions. I also teach functional groups, reaction mechanisms, retrosynthesis, resonance and acidity, and amines. Students often find these topics overwhelming, yet clarity is possible through structured guidance.
You will find that these rigorous concepts become manageable with a clear roadmap. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and ready to achieve your target score.
