About Patrick


Bio

I have MS in Organic Chemistry and during my time in school I tutored students in Chemistry and various other subjects. I was a Teaching Assistant for the 3 years during my masters and enjoyed teaching. It gave me an opportunity to not only improve my teaching style, but it was a challenging experience. In a class setting, it was always important to ensure that every student understood the lesson. Thus, it was imperative to make the lesson interactive and comprehensive as possible.

I have MS in Organic Chemistry and during my time in school I tutored students in Chemistry and various other subjects. I was a Teaching Assistant for the 3 years during my masters and enjoyed teaching. It gave me an opportunity to not only improve my teaching style, but it was a challenging experience. In a class setting, it was always important to ensure that every student understood the lesson. Thus, it was imperative to make the lesson interactive and comprehensive as possible.
This is something that I have encompassed in my tutoring. As a former student, I understand what student seeks in tutoring. Having tutored for more than 8 years now, each student I have had is a different experience. Each student is unique in the help that they need and how best you can help them succeed. That’s the great thing about one-on-one tutoring. It’s geared towards you, the student. My approach is geared to enhance your strengths and work on your weaknesses. It is a wonderful thing to see you understand a problem or pass your exam.

Test Prep
Standardized tests are a way of life nowadays. We all have gone through one or several; it’s a process that is easy for others and hard for others. I strive to make it as easy as possible. I offer tutoring for SAT, ACT, SAT II Subject Tests, PSAT, TOEFL, MCAT, PCAT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE, and GRE Chemistry. I have taken some of the highly requested tests such as MCAT, PCAT, and GRE and scored in the top 5 percentile in all three. I also offer help in AP exams in the Sciences and Math.

K-12 Coursework
I specialize in tutoring high school science and math: biology, chemistry, physics, and math through calculus.

College Coursework
I offer tutoring in most chemistry classes from General Chemistry to Physical Chemistry II. I offer first and second-year Biology classes. In Math, I can tutor from Pre-Algebra to Differential Equations. I also offer some general education classes such as Logic and can help in areas such as study skills and time management.

Knowledgeable Tutor

We discussed small molecule compounds and Patrick gave me really great ideas on how to use this for my paper that’s due soon. He is also going to send me some additional documentation to help me further.

Cliodhna, 1 lesson with Patrick

patient tutor.

great tutor!! he's teaching me how to approach different strategies regarding the components of the LSAT. I'm struggling a bit on the logic games portion but he is breaking everything down very well for me. looking forward to our next session.

Superb SAT Chem Tutor!

Mr. Patrick knows chemistry inside and out! Even with one meeting, he was able to pinpoint my areas of weakness and explain the various concepts thoroughly. He is responsive and flexible in scheduling and all around an excellent chemistry teacher.

Theresa, 1 lesson with Patrick

Patient, pleasant and knowledgeable, really knows how to teach.

Big help in getting to the root of my weakness in learning. Enjoy our lessons thoroughly. Very good tutor, I’m very happy with our lessons. He’s helping me see things in a different way that I wouldn’t have before our lessons together.

Patrick is an A-plus tutor

“Patrick offers the best of both worlds. Not only is he brilliant and knows the material, but he is a great teacher as well. He is patient, kind, devoted to his students, and dependable. He will work late hours if it takes that to help students reach their goals. Patrick is an A-plus tutor and any student who has the opportunity to work with him is very lucky.”

As Good an MCAT Tutor As You Can Find

Patrick is as good of a tutor as you can find for the MCAT. He took the time to learn my learning style and would organize our lessons around that fact in very subtle but ultimately helpful ways. When I took my actual MCAT there were little things that showed up that we had gone over that were very low yield where I was very thankful for his help. He always took the time to help me with the emotional aspect of this test (which is super real), and helped me on the strategy aspect more than anything else during my prep. Can't recommend him enough, he'll have your back 100%.

Knowledgeable

Patrick's helping me with organic chem 2. He explains things well and takes his time to do so. He is professional, flexible and willing to listen and explains things until I understand.

Great communication and helpful tuturing

Patrick was great regarding communication and setting everything up for the tutoring session. He made sure to secure as much information before arriving for the session so he was prepared and could make the best use of time. He worked on high school Chemistry and was very helpful. He walked through any challenge areas and also gave some sample problems to figure out to ensure that concepts had been mastered. He was very focused and effective.

Jennifer, 4 lessons with Patrick

tailored lesson

To the rescue! Patrick was prompt to respond and easy to coordinate with. He had my daughter fully engaged for the hour asking and answering questions about chemistry. And by the end, she felt ready for her test. Success!
