Patrick

Patent and Compassionate PhD Organic Chemistry Tutor

I love tutoring students in organic chemistry. I believe I'm one of the best tutors you can get and I offer a lot of value for my services: I often help students that other tutors have been unable to reach. If you feel desperate, contact me. I emphasize learning how to think and using basic chemical concepts to solve a problem. I focus on mechanisms to teach reactions and I generally shy away from memorization. I enjoy helping students learn the art of synthesis. It is a lot like a soph...

ACT Science

I have analyzed so many scientific problems both as an practicing scientist and a patent attorney that I am ideally qualified to help students get through this portion of the ACT.

I have practiced criminal law since 2006. I took criminal law in law school and understand the elements of crimes, defenses to them, and criminal procedure required to prosecute a defendant. I understand and have used constitutional defenses to charges. I have represented defendants for misdemeanor and felony offenses and have participated in appeals processes. I understand basic criminal law and criminal procedure as well as constitutional, statutory, and common law defenses under federal law and state law.

Linda D. from Alpharetta, GA

Explained difficult organic chemistry topics, provided lots of guided practice, reviewed course homework questions, posed questions, and offered clear explanations. Looking forward to next session.


Bianca A. from Huntsville, AL

I am an international student, taking Organic Chemistry through the summer semester. This quest has proven to be not very easy, so I started looking for help from a professional with tutoring experience. Patrick has what I was looking for a long time: a tutor that really helped me to regain my confidence in my ability to learn and understand, a tutor that is very joyful and very motivating and a tutor that has an answer for all my questions. Also, he is very patient with me and always ready to encourage me and he sees that I am trying and he doesn't misses any opportunity to motivate me. That impressed me very very much and comforted me. Just what I needed, a little boost, a pat on my shoulder! I'm sure we will be a great team.


Angela D. from Atlanta, GA

Patrick made me answer the questions myself, and explained how my answer could be stronger. He built my confidence in one session for Legal Writing. I now see the connection I was missing when answering in IRAC form. I will be using him throughout law school as much as I am able. Although he hasn't been in law school in a long time, he knew how to answer my legal analysis in the format wanted in school.


Christopher M. from Athens, GA

Patrick has an exceptional knowledge over the material and it clearly shows with his session. He was able to break it down so that it didn't seem like a foreign language which at times I consider O Chem to be. He drills and teaches concepts which stick tremendously more than memorization. He truly believes that once you're familiar with the process, there isn't any need to cram material that'll simply stick for the test. Since O Chem builds on top of itself, his approach makes it very possible to understand the material and get the grade you want!


Melissa N. from Salem, OR

I was hesitant about online tutoring, but really needed help studying for my organic chemistry midterm. Fortunately, I found Patrick a few days ago and he has made online tutoring just as helpful as in person tutoring! Patrick is very patient, understanding, and genuinely cares about his students. He is extremely knowledgable and explains concepts very well. I have really appreciated his help and feel a lot better about my midterm. Thanks Patrick!


Dorianne T. from San Rafael, CA

My son had a last-minute assignment in his Honors Chemistry class, and wasn't sure how to approach it. Admittedly, his parents are not good resources in this area, so we decided to try Wyzant's online tutoring with Patrick. Patrick was very knowledgeable and clear in his explanations of complicated problems, and he made excellent use of the time. My son left the session with better knowledge of the topic at hand, and greater confidence regarding his upcoming test. We hope to work with Patrick again when difficult concepts come up, and are happy to recommend him to others in need of a chemistry boost!


Tyler B. from Springville, UT

He was able to help me understand difficult organic chemistry concepts that I have not been able to grasp before. He was patient with me and working through problems slowly and making sure I knew how to do it. He did not just lecture. He also encouraged me by congratulating me when I got an answer right and not being rude when I got one wrong.


Imtiaz I. from Atlantic City, NJ

Very experienced organic chemist which made understanding the subject easier for me. Great tutor, very flexible, and willing to work with you. I'd recommend him!


Alan H. from Decatur, GA

First and foremost Pat is a highly qualified and has actually worked in the field of chemistry. Along with the fact that he is very personable and patient ,which make makes him a outstanding tutor. My son's confidence and skill level are really blossoming under the tutelage of Pat. He is a real bargain at $35 a hr.


Rachel H. from Sebastian, FL

Currently taking Organic Chemistry 2, and it's definitely been a struggle! But with the help of Patrick, he has helped me tremendously.


Mike D. from Suwanee, GA

What can I say except "wow"! Patrick met with us even though he had a busy day and we requested tutoring just the day before. I appreciate his willingness to work with us and fit us into his schedule. Thank-you sir for your determination to work with us and take the extra time for this session to be a success!


Alexis S. from Matthews, NC

I was on the verge of failing my organic chemistry class and found Pat about 3 weeks before the final started. He is very easy to reach, his price is very reasonable and came to a place convenient for me. He really knows his stuff and is so helpful. I learned so much in just 4 or 5 sessions and ended up raising my grade by a whole letter grade! He is very willing to help and has such a positive attitude! Definitely recommend him as a tutor!
