About Me
My name is Andrew. I'm going to tell you a story, one I know you can relate to. I was once you- an organic chemistry student. When I was a student in this course, I struggled a lot at first. I had a difficult time understanding the concepts of the course, and professors were of little to no help. Textbooks were useless, and classroom lectures were dry and convoluted. I was looking for more simplicity and efficiency...
​
After the first exam, I went to office hours for the first time, and I was shocked to find that the 21-year-old Teaching Assistant (TA) was explaining the material better than the PhD professors. That's when I learned teaching is a skill of its own...
​
I was understanding everything the way he was explaining it. He made it seem so easy. I went to his office hours every week. On my second exam I did incredibly well, and on the third as well, and the fourth... I got an A in the course.
​
Inspired by my TA, I applied to become a TA for the following academic year. I set out to devise strategies and tips of my own to help the next set of students understand the material even more easily. I discovered my passion for teaching. So many students told me that I "carried them" through the course, just as my TA did for me.
​
Once I graduated, I thought about how I could expand the scope of my teaching. I did 1:1 tutoring for a year, and that was great, but I wondered if there was a way to scale my impact even more. That's when I thought about social media. I wanted to make my lessons accessible to anyone anywhere. Hopefully you've seen my videos and found them useful. If not, check out my TikTok. I have tons of content covering various organic chemistry topics.
​
After researching other ways to scale my impact, I discovered ecommerce. Online businesses are very popular nowadays. I decided to create one of my own, and I am currently in the process of developing it.
​
I hope you find my lessons useful. If you do, please let me know what you think! I appreciate all feedback, including constructive criticism. There is a contact form at the bottom of this website.

Sincerely,
Andrew- founder of Organic Chemistry Simplified
My Qualifications
I received my Bachelor of Science from Cornell University in May 2020.
My diploma can be viewed by clicking here.
After achieving an A, I became the Head Teaching Assistant of organic chemistry, a class of over 1000 students, for two years.
I have experience helping thousands of students get an A in organic chemistry through office hours, Zoom review sessions, as well as 1:1 tutoring.
