When you add more resistors to a circuit… does the current go UP or DOWN? πŸ€”
Most students guess wrong here because circuits don’t behave the way you expect.
In my newest video, you’ll finally see what actually happens when current splits in series vs parallel circuits, why resistance sometimes goes DOWN when you add more components, and the shortcut that makes these questions way easier on the MCAT.

What part of resistors still feels most confusing to you:
how they affect voltage, current, resistance, or knowing which equation to use?

I just posted a new video showing you the one simple diagram that helps voltage, current, and resistance finally click.

πŸ”΄ Monday! Aldehyde and Ketone Reactions
Register here πŸ‘‰ Leah4sci.com/Orgolive

Aldehydes and ketones show up in MCAT organic chemistry, but you do not need to memorize every mechanism.

What you do need is the logic behind carbonyl reactivity.

This Monday I’m teaching a focused session on my Orgo channel covering how nucleophiles attack carbonyls, why aldehydes and ketones react differently, and how to predict common reaction outcomes without brute memorization.

You will learn:
βœ”οΈ Why the carbonyl carbon is electrophilic
βœ”οΈ How to predict nucleophilic addition outcomes
βœ”οΈ How reduction changes aldehydes and ketones
βœ”οΈ When acetal protection matters
βœ”οΈ How to think through carbonyl reactions on exam-style questions

πŸ“… LIVE this Monday at 8:30 PM ET

If aldehydes and ketones feel like a memorization game, this session will show you the pattern exams actually test.

❓ How confident are you with carbonyl reactions right now on a scale of 1 to 10?

πŸ”΄ Tonight! Resistors in Series vs Parallel

Circuit questions shouldn’t make your brain freeze.

Tonight I’ll show you how to make sense of resistors in series and parallel, understand the circuit equations, and use mental math shortcuts so you can reason through circuits instead of guessing.

Tonight, you’ll learn how to:

βœ… Understand what resistors actually do in a circuit
βœ… Read a circuit diagram without your brain shutting down
βœ… Recognize series vs parallel circuits instantly
βœ… Understand the equations behind circuit behavior
βœ… Use mental math shortcuts to combine components quickly

If circuits have felt confusing or formula-heavy, this session will make them finally start to click.

Help me choose this week's livestream topic!
Skipped last week due to the blizzard and kiddo being home for 2 snow days.

But the sun is shining, the snow is melting,
so let's do it!

Which topic should we cover this week?

πŸ”΄ Tonight! Amino Acids on the MCAT

Join here πŸ‘‰ Leah4sci.com/live

Amino acids don’t have to feel like pure memorization.
Tonight, I’ll show you how to read the side chains and reason your way to the answer.

Tonight, you’ll learn how to:

βœ… Break down amino acids using side chain chemistry
βœ… Determine polar vs nonpolar and charged vs neutral from structure alone
βœ… Identify acidic and basic amino acids without memorizing pKa tables
βœ… Recognize chirality and key structural exceptions
βœ… Answer MCAT amino acid questions without guessing

This is one of the most memorization heavy MCAT topics, but after tonight, it won’t feel that way.

πŸ”΄ Wednesday ! H-NMR Foundation for MCAT Spectroscopy
Register here πŸ‘‰ Leah4sci.com/Orgolive

Spectroscopy shows up on the MCAT, and you can't tackle NMR passages without understanding the fundamentals first.
This Wednesday I'm teaching a beginner deep-dive H-NMR session on my Orgo channel covering splitting patterns, chemical shifts, and integrationβ€”the core concepts you need before applying them to MCAT-style problems.

You'll learn:
βœ”οΈ How to identify splitting patterns using the n+1 rule
βœ”οΈ How to recognize functional groups from chemical shift ranges
βœ”οΈ How to read integration values to determine molecular structure
βœ”οΈ The systematic approach for analyzing H-NMR spectra
βœ”οΈ Practice problems to build your foundation

πŸ“… LIVE this Wednesday at 8:30 PM ET

If spectroscopy feels shaky, start here. You need these H-NMR basics locked in before you can apply them under MCAT time pressure.

πŸ”΄ TONIGHT! The MCAT Reset: Stop Guessing What to Do Next

Join here πŸ‘‰ Leah4Sci.com/workshop

If you’re studying for the MCAT but not actually sure where you stand, this is for you.

Tonight, I’ll walk you through how to:

βœ… Figure out exactly where you are in your MCAT prep
βœ… Identify what you’ve already done that actually counts
βœ… Stop guessing and changing strategies every day
βœ… Know what to focus on next and what to stop doing
βœ… Leave with clarity instead of overwhelm

Guessing creates whiplash.
Clarity creates progress.
