FAQs
1. How can I get the Midterm Survival Guide document? What is it?
You can get the midterm survival guide for OChem1 or OChem2 by clicking this link and sharing your email and which guide you need!
My YouTube content covers “up-to-the-midterm” material for both OChem1 and OChem2 but it can be difficult to know where to start. My Midterm Survival Guide gives you direct links to the specific playlists, in the order I made them to be watch.
I also provide my personal insights and tips for approaching the topics, and understanding how they will be useful (both for the midterm, and the final!).
2. Are the YouTube videos enough to pass my course, or do I also need the paid Udemy course?
My YouTube playlists cover common topics taught at universities across North America up to the mid-term for OChem 1, OChem 2, and Biochemistry.
These videos are the exact same lesson videos that appear inside the Udemy courses. They’re a great way to sample my teaching style and get comfortable with the fundamentals.
What the Udemy course adds, is structure and depth for the entire semester: full-length lecture series, practice problem sets with step-by-step solutions, and a built-in Q&A forum where you can ask me questions directly and get a personal reply on the Udemy platform.
If you want to do well on your first midterm, the YouTube videos should be very helpful. If you want to do well on the final, I highly recommend you check out my Udemy courses.
3. What’s included in each Udemy course?
(Links for OChem 1&2 are 30% discounts!)
OChem 1 (Organic Chemistry I) – roughly 15 hours of video, broken into bite-size lessons. You also get downloadable summary sheets, a large bank practice problems with step-by-step solutions, all with lifetime access!
OChem 2 (Organic Chemistry II) – another 15 hours of lecture-style video, plus the same package of practice problems, solution walkthroughs, summary sheets, lifetime access, and Q&A support.
Biochemistry (launching Fall 2025) – an estimated 10 hours of video at launch, growing over time as I add new topics. Unlike the OChem courses, questions are multiple choice across all the topics, as most biochemistry courses rely heavily on multiple choice questions.
For all three courses, you can post questions in the built-in Udemy Q&A forum any time and I’ll reply personally. New practice sets and review sheets are added free of charge, so the course library keeps expanding long after you enroll.
4. What if I purchase a course and decide it’s not for me?
No worries, Udemy’s standard 30-day money-back guarantee applies. Just request the refund through your Udemy dashboard and the platform reverses the payment automatically, no questions asked.
5. Do the courses match my course syllabus?
That depends, but for many schools (especially if you saw one of my posters), yes. Every module, example, and practice set was built based on my experience at tutoring at over 20 schools in North America. It is a very strong fit for many schools in 2025/2026.
Whichever way your instructor shuffles topics, the complete set is waiting in my courses. If you have any questions, feel free to email me and provide your syllabus, I can check for you!
6. How Long Do I have Access to your courses?
Enrollment comes with lifetime access. After you purchase, the videos and all downloadable resources stay in your Udemy library forever, so you can stream or re-watch lessons on-demand whenever you need a refresher—next week, next semester, or years down the road.
