Chemistry Coach™ is a 24/7 learning companion built for ADHD brains — helping students understand chemistry step by step without shame or shortcuts.
Active learning • No answers given • Designed by Doc Knott, PhD
Secondary path
🎓 Premium Personalized 1:1 Coaching
For students who need structure, accountability, and deeper support
Chemistry Coach™ is not an answer-spitting AI, a shortcut tool, or a place to copy homework.
It’s an active learning coach designed to help students build real understanding — especially students with ADHD and neurodivergent brains.
Built by a PhD chemist and ADHD-informed educator with 15+ years of teaching experience.
Instead of giving answers, Chemistry Coach™ guides students to the answer.
That difference matters.
How Chemistry Coach™ Actually Works
After signing up, your student gets access to their private Chemistry Coach™ learning space.
We use a familiar classroom-style platform so students can jump in quickly without learning new tech.
Inside, your student can:
- Ask questions anytime
- Practice with guided prompts
- Build understanding through active learning
No setup headaches. No complicated software. Just learning that works.
✔ Guided Questions
Students are led step by step using carefully designed questions that mirror how a great teacher thinks — not how a search engine responds.
✔ Active Learning (Not Passive Watching)
No endless videos to zone out to. Students engage, respond, think, and practice — because learning only sticks when the brain is active.
✔ Retrieval Practice That Builds Memory
Frequent, low-pressure recall helps strengthen neural pathways far faster than rereading notes or watching explanations.
✔ ADHD-First Design
Explanations are broken into manageable pieces, language is clear and calm, and progress is structured to reduce overwhelm.
✔Beyond Chemistry
We build the executive function skills—like organization and task initiation—that help students succeed in every subject.
Why We Don’t Give Answers
Because answers don’t build understanding.
Guided thinking does.
Chemistry Coach™ is designed to help students:
- Learn how to think through chemistry problems
- Build confidence instead of dependence
- Retain material for quizzes, exams, and future courses
That’s how confidence grows.
That’s how anxiety drops.
That’s how chemistry finally makes sense.
Most students believe:
Reading = learning
Watching videos = learning
Quizzes = Assessment, just checking what you know
But cognitive science shows the opposite.
More learning happens during quizzes than during reading or watching.
That’s because retrieval builds memory.
Short, frequent, low-pressure quizzes:
-Strengthen neural pathways
-Improve long-term retention
-Reduce test anxiety
-Build confidence fast
Doing homework helps.
But retrieving information repeatedly is what drives learning to its highest peak.
Chemistry Coach™ treats:
-Questions as learning
-Quizzes as practice
-Mistakes as progress
Students don’t just study chemistry.
They train their brain to think chemically.
That’s why understanding sticks.
Chemistry Coach™ wasn’t built to replace teachers or hand out answers.
It was built to feel like the calm moment when chemistry finally clicks.
I’m Dr. Japheth Rauscher, a PhD chemist and educator who has spent decades working with students who are smart, capable — and completely overwhelmed by chemistry.
What I’ve seen again and again is this:
Most learning tools are designed for neurotypical brains.
ADHD and neurodivergent students don’t need more repetition — they need a system that works with how their brain actually functions.
That’s why Chemistry Coach™ is built on the F.O.C.U.S. Chemistry Method™, a science-backed framework that powers the Study Buddy experience:
Find the gaps without shame
Organize thinking into manageable steps
Connect concepts through guided questions and retrieval
Unleash confidence by showing students what they already know
Step into success with skills that transfer to quizzes, exams, and future courses
Instead of passive videos or answer-spitting AI, Chemistry Coach™ acts like a patient, highly skilled study partner — guiding students through the thinking process until understanding becomes automatic.
Students don’t just raise grades.
They stop feeling broken.
They start trusting their own minds.
That’s not an accident.
It’s how this was designed.
