Michael

I work as a medicinal chemist designing and synthesising new drugs! I enjoy teaching and helping people understand chemistry so tutor part time.

Currently only offering tuition at university level. I have specialised in organic chemistry so can only offer help with organic chemistry from Year 2 onwards.

Tutoring Experience

4 years experience demonstrating in undergraduate laboratories - imparting knowledge in both practical and theoretical chemistry.

10 years experience of tutoring high school to university level.

Tutoring Approach

My approach has always been to understand the fundamentals, recognising the patterns in chemistry and applying these to more complicated examples.

I'm really not a fan of the memorise/regurgitate that I see taught by a lot of schools.
