Id just like to thank you for all the videos you put out. It has helped me get a 95/100 on my Ochem Exam and I am so beyond greatful that you are here to teach. Keep doing what you are doing because you're making positive changes in students lives. I was in a negative mindset due to my first exam score being soso low. But these videos gave me hope and it really did change my thoughts and how I felt. I no longer feel like a failure and these videos are the reason for that. Keep fighting through everyone!! I am taking my final exam today :)

This man is the only reason I am doing good in Organic Chemistry 2. Thank you so so much!

[lilygurllovemuzic]

This has gotta be one of your best videos, thank u for explaining every scenario possible

[Xkwizit_P]

Thank you so much for giving Synthesis a very intuitive perspective. I dont have a major in Chemistry, but from this video I have got a very solid orientation of how to think about and solve synthesis problems.

[NicoleYang]

I learned more in the first minute than I ever learned doing two weeks worth of this stuff in lecture. Thank you!!!

[anniegrace]

I thought I understand organic chemistry until I took my exams. Haha I fooled myself big time

[luisdez]

this is a great freaking video to watch/review what you learned after you spend a good chunk of time going over the theory behind in your textbook. good way to synthesize everything you learned.

[chiefkeith]

this literally is one of the best videos I've ever watched

I think I’ve found the best organic chemistry tutor so far for real ♥️

Honestly I wasn’t doing great in organic until I started skipping class. I’m great at pattern recognition (need a ton more data than is provided in class) and learning but horrible in the class setting teachers always talk to slow and don’t challenge me enough to be interested. Here I can just play everything 1.5- 2x speed pause and solve the problem and easily and quickly figure out where I messed up. Normal pace in class kills me and I can not help but zone out. But i can easily absorb everything discussed in class in 20 min by myself. Which is probably the amount of time I actually pay attention in normal class. I can’t remember anything but if I just throw myself into the information and expose myself to as many situations and problems as possible it clicks and all of a sudden and I see everything as images and videos in my head. It makes learning feel like a drug and you get high on the excitement of everything magically fitting together. Learning in class feels like hell the education system has a way of sucking the excitement of even the most interesting of things.

You are a so phantastic teacher!!! God bless you! I‘am looking every video of you and write it down! It’s so helpful!!! I can’t say enough: thank you soooo much!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[kevinghookas]

thank you mr ochem tutor you saved my life i love you youre the best :D

[namenamington]

You have been helping me for years. Thank you so much for all of the good times!

[landofthebeyond]

This video saved me. Love your channel

[khaylakhairunnisa]

it helps me a lott, english is not my motherlanguage but i can understand everything so well!! thankyou sir 🤩

[harrolddjani]

I swear my professor probably watches your videos. This is precisely what she said what going to be on our test. And you even should the mechanism (Friedel - crafts with carbonation rearrangement) we need to know. I find this too funny. Hopefully I get a 100%

[ronitmandal]

This was exactly what i was searching for! Thanks

[eugeneaderkotey]

Great video, perfect explanations, God richly bless you

[irynabochan]

Omg, this is sooo helpful! Thank you very much for your hard work! Your videos helped me a lot with my studies! :)

[sitisuraya]

This video really help me to study..Thank you!!!☺️
