About Skylar
Sitting at my desk after scoring 522 on the MCAT, I realized that many bright students struggle not with conceptual understanding but with the mechanical fluency required for high-stakes exams. I teach organic chemistry by breaking down complex carboxylic acids and elimination reactions into manageable patterns that reduce cognitive load during testing. My approach centers on drawing mechanisms clearly while mastering SN1 and SN2 reactions, curved arrow notation, and radical reactions to ensure you handle functional groups with confidence.
I have guided countless students through the intricacies of alcohols, ethers, amines, and NMR spectroscopy, keeping my methodology grounded in the reality of medical school demands. You will find my teaching style emphasizes clarity and logical progression rather than rote memorization.

Starting our first session, we will identify your specific roadblocks with a diagnostic problem set designed to mirror actual exam conditions. This allows me to see exactly where your logic falters in real time.
Because I spent 6 years teaching full time, I recognize the exact moment a student feels overwhelmed by reaction pathways. We will then spend the remainder of the hour building a more robust mental framework for your chemistry work. My MD from Harvard Medical School provides a unique lens through which we view these foundational topics. Are you ready to refine your technical accuracy and increase your speed across these complex problem sets?
