About Fern
Radical reactions often seem straightforward until you apply them to complex synthesis pathways in a clinical context. Resonance and acidity combined with curved-arrow notation form the backbone of my instruction for pre-med students. I draw on 2 years of experience as a Columbia medical student to simplify aromatic chemistry and isomerism for those struggling with these concepts.
Developing fluency in alcohols and ethers requires a deep understanding of molecular behavior rather than simple memorization. This specific approach to organic chemistry makes the most difficult reaction mechanisms feel surprisingly intuitive and logical during my tutoring.

Fluency arrives when a student finally predicts the outcome of a complex multistep synthesis on the whiteboard without hesitation. Through 8 years of study and 2 years of active tutoring, I have identified exactly which topics the AAMC prioritizes in their examinations.
My lessons focus on weekly mechanism drills to ensure students receive immediate feedback on their structural logic. I incorporate my medical school training to connect theoretical organic chemistry to the biological systems found in high-stakes testing. This practice builds consistent habits for complex problem solving. My teaching strategy emphasizes clear communication and structural precision throughout the process.
