The main difference is live interaction vs. flexibility:

✅ Live Bootcamp – Best for students who can attend sessions in real-time, ask questions, and get live support. Includes office hours and interactive Q&A.

✅ Recorded Bootcamp – Perfect for students who can’t make the live sessions but still want full access to all the lessons and materials. You’ll also receive a PDF with answers to common student questions—so you’re never left wondering!

Both options give you study guides, practice problems, and lifetime access, so you can review at your own pace anytime.

While YouTube has great free content, it’s not structured. You’re left searching through random videos, hoping to piece everything together.

✅ This bootcamp follows a step-by-step structure where each lesson builds on the previous one, ensuring you develop a solid understanding from the ground up.

✅ It’s interactive! Instead of just watching videos, you’ll have the chance to ask me questions directly, get real-time explanations, and join live office hours for extra support.

✅ No guesswork. You’ll have structured notes, practice problems, and direct guidance so you know exactly what to focus on—no more wondering if you’re studying the right things.

If you want clarity, structure, and personal support, this bootcamp is the best way to actually master OChem. Not just watch someone explain it!

The bootcamp runs for 7 weeks ( Plus 1 Bonus Week), with each group having one session per week.

Live Bootcamp: Each session is 90 minutes of lecture + 30 minutes of Q&A, so you’ll get 2 full hours of instruction and support every week.

Recorded Bootcamp: If you choose the recorded option, the bootcamp will be organized into * structured modules, with new lessons uploaded after each live session, so you can learn at your own pace!

In total, the Bootcamp takes about 10.5 to 14 hours of your time this summer, depending on how much support and review you choose to use.

This way, whether you join live or recorded, you’ll get structured, easy-to-follow lessons that build on each other week by week.

Simple! If you’re enrolled in the live bootcamp, you’ll get lifetime access to the recordings, so you can rewatch anytime, as many times as you need.

✅ Make sure your schedule aligns with the group you choose for the best experience.
✅ If you know you’ll miss too many sessions, or none of the times work for you, then the recorded version might be the better fit!

Either way, you’ll have access to all the lessons, study materials, and practice problems—so you won’t miss out!

Each week, the main lecture will be about 1.5 hours, whether you're in the recorded or live version, there's enough time to fully cover the material without overloading you.

If you’re in the live version, there’s also an optional 30-minute Q&A session right after the lecture, plus access to weekly office hours (you’ll help pick the times!).

So if you're doing the live version and want all the support available, you're looking at about 2–2.5 hours per week total.

Not for the live version  as spots are limited, but you can schedule a free 15-minute intro Zoom meeting to see if it’s a good fit.

The recorded version will include a free trial once the first module is uploaded. You’ll get access to Week 1 before deciding if you want to continue!

If you want structure and live support, the live version is best. Prefer to work at your own pace? Start with the recorded one!

This is one of my favorite questions! And the answer is YES.

Just because Gen Chem didn’t go well doesn’t mean you can’t succeed in OChem! Think of them as two completely different classes—they require different ways of thinking and learning.

Bonus: Unlike Gen Chem, OChem has NO math! 

This bootcamp is designed to break everything down step by step, so you’ll actually understand the material, even if chemistry hasn’t been your strongest subject in the past.

No worries! If you need to switch to a different session, just email me at [email protected], and I’ll take care of it for you.

I want to make sure you get the best learning experience. So if another group fits your schedule better, I’m happy to help!

Super simple: Lifetime access.

Whether you need to revisit the recordings before an exam or refresh your knowledge for the MCAT, your access never expires. Once you're in, you're in forever!

About 85% of the material you’ll encounter in OChem 1 will be covered in this bootcamp!

Every university structures OChem a little differently, but 100% of the foundational topics, the ones that trip students up the most early on, will be taught in depth.

What’s Covered:
✅ Core OChem principles—bonding, resonance, hybridization, acid/base chemistry
✅ Mechanisms & Reaction Types: SN2, SN1, E2, and E1 (master these, and everything else becomes easier!)

What’s Not Covered:
The only topics not included are alkene and alkyne reactions, since these are often introduced later in the course.

Bottom line? If you solidify these foundations (which this bootcamp will help you do), the rest of Organic Chemistry 1 will feel WAY easier to handle!

To ensure the bootcamp is a perfect fit for you, feel free to email cooper@catalystchemistry your class syllabus! I'd be more than happy to look it over!

I want you to feel 100% confident about joining this bootcamp, so here’s how refunds work:

Live Bootcamp:
✅ You can request a full refund within 3 days of purchase, as long as the bootcamp hasn’t started yet.
❌ Once the bootcamp begins, refunds are no longer available since spots are limited and reserved for enrolled students.

Recorded Bootcamp:
✅ If you’re unsure whether this bootcamp is right for you, I offer a “First Module Guarantee.”
❌ Once you’ve accessed more than Module 1, refunds are no longer available, this ensures fairness and prevents abuse.

My goal is to make sure you get real value out of this bootcamp. So if you have any concerns, just email me at [email protected], and we’ll find the best solution for you!

The Live Bootcamp runs from the week of June 16th to the week of August 5th. If you’re enrolled in the Recorded Bootcamp, here’s how it works:

✅Weekly Releases: At the end of each week, you’ll get access to the full recording from the live session.

✅Resources in Advance: All study guides and practice problems will be available before the session, so you can follow along as if you were there live.

✅Q&A Summary: Any questions asked during the live sessions or Q&A will be included in a PDF for you to review.

✅Bonus! If common questions come up during office hours, I’ll add those to the Q&A PDF as well, so you’re never left wondering!

Whether you’re attending live or recorded, you’ll get everything you need to succeed in OChem!

Yes! I understand that finances can be tight, so I offer flexible payment options:

Recorded Bootcamp: 2 payments of $75 over 2 months.

Live Bootcamp: 2 payments of $105 over 2 months.

Important: If a payment is missed or not completed, access to the bootcamp materials may be paused until the balance is paid.
