From high school to college studies, I am also specialized in preparing specific subjects such as Honors and AP programs, and students and adults who wish to pursue a career in the medical field (MCAT, DAT, Nursing, PA, Physical Therapy, etc.).

I am a professional tutor with the highest degree of education. I also dedicate my time to prepare the classes thoroughly before the tutoring. Do not hesitate to contact me, I will be glad to assist you.

Here is a bit of my biography. Talk to you soon!

After a master's degree in Mathematics and Biochemistry, I was awarded two competitive national fellowships to teach for 4 years in a European university and study for a PhD in Biology and Biochemistry. After graduating with highest distinction, I took a position as a Postdoctoral fellow at UNC-Chapel Hill, where I undertook a 5-year research project in Biology and Biochemistry, which received a U.S. federal grant from the National Institutes of Health. I was then promoted to Research Assistant Professor, continued to teach Biology and Biochemistry at UNC for 4 years, and was the award winner of a year-round in-house oral presentation research contest in my Department.

I also supervised and trained students in all the steps from thinking and building a scientific project around various scientific disciplines (Chemistry and Life Sciences), to obtaining and interpreting preliminary data and writing a successful competitive fellowship application. Under my

A solid, deeply knowledgeable, friendly, professional, no-nonsense, meticulous, supportive, first-rate tutor!

Dr. Patrick helped my son with his AP Chemistry preparation over many lessons during the 2018-19 academic year. In the beginning, we tried several tutors, many of which were excellent. But, from the very first lesson to the very last one, we were confident that Dr. Patrick was the best tutor for my son due to his solid teaching experience, deep knowledge of the subject and excellent temperament for the role. He has a friendly, professional, no-nonsense demeanor. We found him to be meticulous in his teaching and constructive in the advice he provided. He was always supportive, encouraging and gave invaluable insights regarding what the examiners were looking for in their answers. If you are looking for a quick, superficial review of the main concepts in AP Chemistry, perhaps Dr. Patrick is not the right one for you. He is in-depth and thorough and will not give platitudes just to make you feel good if he believes you haven’t yet “got it”. But, if you are looking for someone who will try hard to ensure that you really understand the concepts, then I don’t know of anyone better than Dr. Patrick--he is simply first-rate.

5 in AP CHEMISTRY 2019 - Dear Gary, I am very grateful for your very kind and thorough review of your experience with my tutoring sessions. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Also, I would like to thank you for providing your son with the necessary number of hours of tutoring so we were able to go through the difficult concepts a student has to face in AP Chemistry. Kind Regards Dr. Patrick

Absolutely Amazing

I have been working with Dr. Patrick since the beginning of the semester. He has helped me do so much better in the area of Science, am a Biology major. I love the academic subject however I have always struggled when it comes to the exams. I received my first A this semester after starting with Dr Patrick in a Science Midterm Exam since I started at University last year. This semester I am in Cell Biology. He does a great job of bringing the lectures I have during the week to a greater understanding for me. Thank you Dr Patrick, I appreciate all your help!

Great learning experience with Dr. Patrick

My son took a few sessions with Dr. Patrick to prepare his AP Chemistry exam. Dr. Patrick is very knowledgeable, and more importantly is that Dr. Patrick can teach complex concepts and solve problems in a way that my son felt easier to understand. We greatly appreciate your help!

Sha, 4 lessons with Dr. Patrick

Very patient and knowledgeable tutor

Dr Patrick helped my Sophomore with a specific topic in his honors Chem class that he was struggling to understand. My son not only understood the topic but also did amazingly in his upcoming test. Highly recommend Dr. Patrick for your highschool chem needs.

Exceptional Tutor for Chemistry 1

Dr Patrick tutored my son, Trevor (10th grade), in preparation for a Chemistry 1 test. After my husband (a mechanical engineer) had been trying to assist Trevor for days without solid success on teaching the material, Dr Patrick explained it all to Trevor, clearly and thoroughly, in one hour! Dr. Patrick is well worth the time and investment, and we highly recommend his services! We personally will be booking with him again as well. (Thanks again to you, Dr Patrick!)

Dr. Patrick is very knowledgeable and patient

Thank you for helping with Chemistry. Our son is understanding the concepts and that has helped him improve performance on his assessments. He is confident that now he will finish chemistry strong with Dr. Patrick’s reviews.

Really good!

My daughter was struggling with Chem a lot. He helps her with her homeworks and concepts that she doesn't understand. So nice and kind. Super patient to teach over and over.
