Organic chemistry is the study of carbon — the element that builds all living systems.
It explains how molecules interact, react, transform, and create the structures essential for life. Learning organic chemistry in English opens the door to science, medicine, pharmacy, biotechnology, and global academic programs.

At Levitin Language School / Start Language School by Tymur Levitin, organic chemistry is taught through clarity, structure, and meaning. Instead of memorizing hundreds of reactions, students learn why molecules behave the way they do — the logic behind the world of carbon-based life.

Why Study Organic Chemistry in English

English is the universal language of science.
Mastering organic chemistry in English allows students to:

  • understand international textbooks and lectures
  • prepare for medical, pharmaceutical, and biochemical programs
  • communicate clearly in scientific environments
  • follow global terminology used in research, laboratories, and universities
  • build confidence before entering English-speaking academic settings

Organic chemistry becomes not just a subject, but a scientific language.

What You Will Learn

Organic chemistry is built on structure, reactivity, and mechanism.
Our course helps students understand each level step by step.

1. Structure and Bonding — The Foundation of Organic Molecules

Students learn:

  • hybridization (sp, sp², sp³)
  • molecular geometry
  • resonance
  • aromaticity
  • polarity and electron distribution

This forms the basis for predicting stability, reactivity, and molecular behavior.

2. Functional Groups — The Vocabulary of Organic Chemistry

Every reaction begins with functional groups.
We study:

  • alcohols and phenols
  • aldehydes and ketones
  • carboxylic acids and derivatives
  • amines
  • esters and amides
  • hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics)

Students learn to “read” molecules like sentences: logically, meaningfully, and structurally.

3. Reaction Mechanisms — Understanding, Not Memorizing

Instead of rote memorization, we teach the logic of:

  • nucleophiles and electrophiles
  • addition, elimination, substitution (SN1, SN2, E1, E2)
  • carbocation stability
  • reaction intermediates
  • stereochemistry and chiral centers

Students learn why reactions happen — the deeper structure behind organic transformations.

4. Stereochemistry — The Geometry of Life

Stereochemistry has direct implications in medicine, pharmacology, and biochemistry.
We cover:

  • enantiomers
  • diastereomers
  • optical activity
  • R/S configuration
  • geometric isomerism (E/Z)

This builds the foundation for understanding drug design and biological processes.

5. Organic Chemistry in Biological and Medical Contexts

We connect organic chemistry to real applications:

  • metabolic reactions
  • enzyme–substrate interactions
  • pharmaceutical mechanisms
  • molecular recognition
  • pathways based on carbon skeletons

Organic chemistry becomes a living system, not a list of reactions.

A Clear, Logical and Structured Way to Learn Organic Chemistry

Students often struggle with organic chemistry because they try to memorize instead of understand.
Our method focuses on:

  • logical mechanisms
  • visual patterns
  • comparison and analogy
  • multi-language clarity
  • structured progression
  • problem-solving instead of rote repetition

Organic chemistry becomes accessible — even for students who previously struggled.

Why Students Choose Levitin Language School

In our school, every academic subject is taught with the same philosophy as languages:

Global Learning. Personal Approach.

Each student receives:

  • an individual program
  • step-by-step explanations
  • practical guidance
  • clear academic structure
  • focused preparation for real scientific and medical goals

We teach not only knowledge — we teach thinking.
