Does organic chemistry need to be hard?

Absolutely not!

At first glance, organic chemistry seems like a huge barrier or challenge to overcome. It seems that is it between you and your goals in life.

However, this does not need to be the case. Check out Change Your Perspective to see for yourself!

Organic chemistry, just like every other class, has its own specific language.

I will admit that the language of organic chemistry is not something that is immediately intuitive.

However, it can be broken down into something that can easily fit into your style of learning.

No matter what information is learned, it requires some form of repetition

Organic chemistry is no different.

Knowing your strengths about how you best learn are extremely important and more than half the battle to conquering O-Chem.  My goal is to help you become aware of the strengths you already have and then use these in the most efficient manner.

Here are a few quick tips to think about

Identify how you learn

  • Visual, auditory, etc.
  • Use this to make your own associations

Repetition

  • The mind learns through repetition. Find ways to do this so it becomes automatic with no effort on your part

Trust yourself

  • I know this sounds like a played-out phrase…but give it a try.

In all my posts as well as tutoring sessions, I utilize all the various methods of learning. This way, I provide you with many different perspectives of OChem. Eventually by repetition, the information becomes second nature, like your name.
