Patryk G

Hi, I'm Patryk and I'm a third year Chemistry and Biochemistry student at University. Having succeeded at A Level and University, achieving A*s in Biology and Chemistry and getting a first in both years of study at uni, I wanted to share the techniques and tips that allowed me achieve the top grades to help others who want to succeed in their studies. My main areas of expertise are in Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, and in Molecular and Cellular Biology, but I'm also a confident tutor in all disciplines within Biology and Chemistry.

I have experience as a volunteer tutor with the Coronavirus Tutoring Initiative, in which I tutored two A Level Chemistry students and helped them gain a deeper level of understanding of the subject - as well as helping them develop their maths skills and edit personal statements. Furthermore, I have participated in a variety of mentoring schemes including Zero Gravity, which seeks to help prospective first generation university students in their applications, and a peer mentoring scheme at my university, in which I'm guiding first year students and helping them find their feet in a new learning environment. In my tutoring, I like to give control to the student and let them decide how our sessions will pan out. This way they can target our work to the areas in which they most need help and lets me tailor my sessions to their specific learning styles. I also give students key techniques and tips that helped me excel in my exams, as well as offering useful resources to supplement their studies.
