A book on teaching organic chemistry is a rarity and is likely to generate considerable interest. On the whole, this text, which resulted from an American Chemical Society symposium, should not disappoint. The topic is a challenging one and no ‘magic bullet’ solutions are presented. What are provided are insights and evidence-based approaches to help tackle the common difficulties learners encounter.

Claire McDonnell reviews the strengths and weaknesses of Advances in teaching organic chemistry as a resource to support learners.
