About Helen

AAMC examiners prioritize high-level synthesis over simple recall. Rapid, iterative feedback defines my teaching style because it forces you to identify your own logical gaps immediately. My instruction relies on 3 years of experience to ensure you are not just repeating steps but understanding the fundamental chemical behavior.

We will rigorously dissect every component of molecular biology alongside your core organic curriculum. Students frequently find that my Harvard Medical School background provides an edge in understanding how these mechanisms impact physiological processes. You will gain confidence in handling complex retrosynthetic puzzles that often appear on standardized exams. My boot-camp structure ensures that every session mimics the intensity of the actual testing environment.

I avoid generic practice, focusing instead on the precise areas that determine your final score. By the time we conclude our cycle, you will possess a robust command of the material. Join me as we transform your preparation process into a reliable, high-scoring routine.

About the lesson

Do you find the intricate dance of electron movement across organic mechanisms overwhelming? My 3 years of experience as a boot-camp leader have taught me that students often struggle most with the transition from rote memorization to true structural fluency. Having earned a Doctor of Medicine from Harvard Medical School, I translate difficult concepts into logical, actionable frameworks. I focus heavily on NMR spectroscopy, SN1 and SN2 reactions, and the nuances of alcohols and ethers.

Radical reactions and isomerism are equally critical components of my instruction. Carbonyl chemistry and retrosynthesis often present roadblocks, yet these are exactly the areas the AAMC tests with the greatest frequency. Elimination reactions require a specific mental model that I help you build from the ground up.

Beyond the textbook, I enjoy distilling high-level science into concepts that feel manageable for pre-meds and IB students alike. Outside of clinical science, I spend my time refining my own understanding of chemistry through independent research projects.
