About Patrick
Hi! I’m a college student at the University of Rochester with experience tutoring students in subjects including biology, chemistry, calculus, MATLAB, and standardized test preparation. I enjoy helping students understand difficult concepts by breaking them down into clear, manageable steps.
As a student myself, I understand how frustrating a challenging subject can be, and I aim to create a comfortable environment where you can ask questions, make mistakes, and build confidence. Whether you’re looking for help with a specific topic, preparing for an exam, or simply want to strengthen your understanding, I’ll work with you to find an approach that fits your learning style.
I’m excited to help you reach your academic goals!

I am a sophomore at the University of Rochester with a 4.0 STEM GPA and a passion for helping students succeed in challenging courses. I earned a perfect 36 on the ACT and a 1580 on the SAT, and I specialize in SAT/ACT preparation as well as biology, chemistry, calculus, physics, and MATLAB.
At the University of Rochester, I have earned top grades in introductory biology, general chemistry, MATLAB, Calculus I, and Calculus II. I also earned a 5 on the AP Biology exam and received my high school's Highest Achievement Award in Physics, reflecting a strong foundation across the STEM subjects I teach.
In addition to my academic background, I have experience supporting students in both one-on-one and classroom settings. I have tutored introductory biology and currently serve as a teaching assistant for Introductory Biology and MATLAB. As part of my TA appointments, I completed CASC 352: College Teaching Assistantship, a University of Rochester course focused on evidence-based teaching, facilitating student learning, effective communication, and creating inclusive learning environments. I also participate in teaching workshops for both courses, allowing me to continually strengthen my instructional skills and better support students.
My teaching philosophy is centered on understanding, not memorization. I tailor each lesson to the student's goals and learning style, breaking down challenging concepts into manageable steps while encouraging critical thinking and independent problem solving. For SAT and ACT students, I combine content review with proven test-taking strategies to help maximize both confidence and scores.
Whether you're preparing for the SAT or ACT, working toward a top AP score, or looking for support in a high school or introductory college STEM course, I am committed to helping you build confidence, deepen your understanding, and achieve your academic goals.
Prefer in-person.
