Organic Chemistry Introduction Part 1

Organic Chemistry seems like a new language at times but don't worry, in this video I'll translate the main ochem topics you will need to know. I'll even show you my trick to drawing skeletal structures correctly each time!

🙌 This was my go-to homework help when I was in school. Chegg Study is one of my favorites.

📚 I made the mistake of buying all of my textbooks, I wish I had the option of renting them. Thankfully you do, with Chegg Textbook Rentals.

💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

Watch me guide a student through Organic Chemistry in my new Study With Us series:

Please... for the love of God... do NOT stop making these videos for Organic Chem. keep bringing that heat!

[kikolee]

you taught me more with this vid than my teacher did the whole chapter

[taylorstitt]

I don't think I have ever kept up with a YouTube channel as much as I have with yours. Thank you for your service. A true queen.

I'm currently in grade 12 and have to learn from home at the moment for all my subjects (including chemistry) and we got sent your YouTube links for organic chemistry. Of all videos I've had to watch associated with science, this would have to be one of the best I've seen as it was very clear and easy to understand. Unlike other videos we've had to watch, you didn't mumble, got straight to the point, didn't include anything particularly unnecessary, didn't assume that people understood a whole bunch of knowledge prior to watching, AND didn't speak at 30 words per second like crash course science does!

You deserve way more views and subscribers.

As an Egyptian student who's at grade 12th and also, I'm taking Organic chemistry, I literally understood what you said and your explanation is incredible and simple, however, I'm totally thanking you for effort melissa!!! Following you from Egypt :D

[cowslane]

As I progress through my chemistry courses, I'm delighted to see that more of your videos are there to hold my hand. You were there for the fundamentals, now you're there for organic. YES!

[thatdudeevan]

I am looking forward to getting carried by Melissa for the next year

[Bandsokk]

I want to cry online school is so hard and these are literally teaching me 🥺❤️

[jalajarora]

I got a 9 in GCSE chemistry, just found your amazing YouTube channel today so I am confident that with these brilliant videos and my hard work, I will get an A* in a-level chemistry!

[sanchi]

I love how they are short and to the point

[KCM]

I’m getting ahead and just freshing my memory before my ochem class this summer! I’m nervous and scared but I really want an A!

[maribelgonzalez]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELPFUL VIDEOS! You are the reason I got an "A" in Chemistry last semester. Now I am taking Organic Chemistry and it seems so difficult I hope to see more of these videos soon!!!

[brittneyvasta]

45 seconds in and I'm learning more than from my actual college class... Tysm.. I have an exam Monday and I will gladly be cramming these videos in my head 10x a day until then. Cheers.

[ezranabisa]

Thank you for doing video like this. You are more helpful than my instructor.

[gabrieldayot]

Currently taking up chemical engineering, soon to be in 2nd year. I am studying in advance for the organic chemistry because I was not in the STEM back in senior high school. Your videos are helping me, thank you so much and hopefully I can adapt to my classmates, and probably be better than them? :D Please continue to make videos like this for organic chemistry. Happy learning during these quarantines and lockdowns. :)

[pariswilliamson]

Haven’t started yet! Class starts the 19th wanted to do some prior learning and you make so much

[arlynjoybona]

I wish I knew you sooner 🥺🧡 I was contemplating if I’ll go with my dream career because I hardly understand science lessons but you made me realize that chemistry isn’t that hard. Thank you!

[hollybush]

OMG this is the best explanation. I am taking Microbiology and there is a chapter on organic chemistry- and I haven't taken that class yet! It was an entire class condensed into one chapter. I literally cried when I read it because I didn't even understand the first paragraph. This explains it SO much better than my book! I will definitely subscribe and thank you so much for the help!
