Thank you all SO much for these suggestions! I'm going to start with The Organic Chemistry Tutor videos tonight, then check out Khan Academy. If I'm still struggling after that, I might look into samedaypapers.com or the university tutoring center. Really appreciate all the help - feels less overwhelming now knowing there are resources out there!

As someone who tutors other students in chemistry, my biggest advice for those seeking help with chemistry homework is to focus on understanding rather than memorizing. If you can understand WHY a reaction happens a certain way, you'll be able to predict similar reactions.

For visual learners who need chemistry homework help online, check out Crash Course Chemistry on YouTube. They have great visualizations that make abstract concepts more concrete. Also, the Clutch Prep website has topic-specific videos that are more focused than full lectures.

I found www.PapersOwl.com really helpful when I needed organic chemistry help with specific problems. Their tutors explained the mechanisms step by step and gave me practice problems similar to my homework. Helped me understand the patterns rather than just memorizing.

As a fellow humanities person who survived chem, my advice for chemistry homework help is to use a combination of resources. No single YouTube channel or website explained everything in a way that clicked for me. I had to piece together understanding from multiple sources.

Have you tried office hours? When I was struggling with help with chemistry homework, I found that most chem professors are actually willing to help if you show up and ask specific questions. Bring your attempted work to show you're putting in effort.

@JakeTThompson for organic chemistry help try to focus on understanding functional groups first! once u recognize the common patterns, it gets easier. i used the app "chemist - virtual chem lab" to practice reactions without wasting real chemicals lol

I was in the same boat when I took chemistry as a psychology major. For help with chemistry homework, I used EduBirdie a couple times when I was really stuck. They have tutors who specialize in different science subjects and can walk you through the problems step by step.
