Lucy Alessi
Organic Chemistry teacher | Experienced educator in USA
I hold a degree in Organic Chemistry from the Medical University of South Carolina. With a passion for unlocking the mysteries of molecules, I bring a deep understanding of the subject to my teaching. Whether it's elucidating reaction mechanisms or simplifying complex concepts, I strive to make organic chemistry accessible and engaging for my students. My goal is to instill not just knowledge, but also a genuine appreciation for the beauty and importance of this field in our everyday lives. Let's explore the wonders of organic chemistry together!
