Course Description

Let me know if any of this sounds familiar to you...

Organic Chemistry – It’s a weed-out course, many students fail, you will fail, it’s hard, it’s time consuming, it’s complicated, you won’t like it, good luck (with sarcasm), you won’t have a life, you may have to take it again, it will wreck your GPA, it may keep you out of medicinal school…and on and on. 

The story we hear about something dramatically influences how we see and experience something.

Now, I want to share with you a different story about organic chemistry. And this story is backed up by years of teaching the material.

Organic chemistry is simple and easy to learn. There is a very effective and direct way to learn the material that allows you to start using it immediately. No matter where you are in the class, there are simple and effective ways to immediately increase your understanding and grade. 

Since I began teaching in 1998, I have been working on creating the simplest and most effective way for anyone to learn organic chemistry. And this course, as well as all my other courses, is what has come out of those efforts. 

Well, let’s not waste anymore time...Let’s get to it!

Let me start by asking you this…

Let’s say you just got the most recent iPhone. Now, do you want to read a manual on how to use it? Or would you prefer to start using it NOW?

Yeah, me too!

Well, I feel that organic chemistry should be the same way. You should be able to understand organic chemistry and start working problems immediately. And that is the point of this course.

I began teaching and tutoring OChem back in 1998. Since that time, the amount of resources available to help students is astronomical. However, the overall situation has not changed. Students still struggle with organic chemistry and many dislike the class.

Why is this?

The story about organic chemistry has not changed!

Here are a few you might have heard – It’s a weed-out course, many students fail, you will fail, it’s hard, it’s time consuming, it’s complicated, you won’t like it, good luck (with sarcasm), you won’t have a life, you may have to take it again, it will wreck your GPA, it may keep you out of medicinal school…and on and on.

Nice examples and explanations but I felt everything was a bit rushed by how quickly it was gone over.

By Anonymized User on 2/28/2023

I needed a stronger foundation. Tuition was good.

By Natalia Romanova on 4/19/2022

It gave me a bit better understanding of what I already knew, but I feel like the previous knowledge of ochem is required. Or maybe I just perceived the information this way.

By Venus Sahu on 3/7/2021

I can not study organic more easier than this.

By Caroline Ong on 10/10/2020

YES!! Dr. Dinsmore has a clear cut way of explaining and simplifying reactions and mechanisms. I am now significantly more confident in my ability to do mechanisms and reactions.

By Marius van Niekerk on 5/12/2020

This is a fantastic course. The lecturer explains and simplifies the concepts of synthesis easily. I wish this course was available when I was a student.

By Michael McCorkindale on 4/2/2020

This is a great course for those needing help with an organic chemistry class, I was looking for a more retro synthesis specific course or something for actual degree chemists to refresh knowledge with so wasn't a great match for me but its still a great course.

By Orode Aniejurengho on 9/26/2019

A bit fast but trying to keep on top of it. Refreshing my knowledge of chemistry.

By Oliver Soltis on 5/19/2018

I will use this course for professional gains.
