About Us

O Chem Unlocked was built for every student who’s ever stared at a reaction mechanism and
thought, “Am I the only one who doesn’t get this?”
Spoiler Alert: you’re not.

We’re on a mission to make Organic Chemistry simple, direct, and (believe it or not) kind of fun.
This isn’t another wall of content- it’s a guided system built from 15 years of real tutoring
experience helping pre-meds all over the country finally feel confident, calm, and in control.

Every lesson breaks down the chaos into clear, logical steps you can actually follow. No
confusing jargon, no overcomplicated “professor-speak.” Just practical tools that help you earn
points on exams, build confidence, and keep your med-school dreams alive.

Because you don’t need to love O Chem- you just need to defeat it and get on with your life.

Meet Joe De Luca

Hi, I’m Joe- and I’ve spent the last 16 years helping students slay the Organic Chem dragon.

On my first day of O Chem, my professor told us most of the class would fail. (Inspirational, right?) By the end of the year, 80 percent had dropped- and that never sat right with me. So I taught myself the subject from scratch, figured out how to retain the mountains of information, and went on to ace both semesters (including a perfect ACS exam score- which, yes, even I was shocked by).

Since then, I’ve tutored hundreds of students nationwide- from panicked first-timers to high-achievers chasing As- and helped them not only pass but thrive. I believe you don’t need to be a
genius to do well in O Chem; you just need someone who knows how to translate it into plain English and give you the confidence to trust yourself again.

O Chem Unlocked is that system. It’s the same approach I’ve used with my one-on-one students, distilled into a self-paced online format you can access anytime, anywhere.

Let’s make you the next success story- and maybe even enjoy the ride a little.

Our Values

At O Chem Unlocked, our values aren’t buzzwords- they’re the backbone of how we help students finally stop suffering through Organic Chemistry.

Clarity Over Chaos

You don’t need five textbooks and twelve YouTube channels. You need one clean, calm, step-by-step system that actually makes sense. That’s what we build here.

Confidence Is the Goal

Our mission isn’t to make you fall in love with chemistry (though hey, if it happens, cool). It’s to make you confident- walking into exams knowing you’ve done the reps and you’re ready to score points.
