PhD in Chemistry | Trinity College Dublin | Leaving Cert Specialist I hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry (cum laude, international distinction) and currently work as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin, where I develop metal-based catalysts for selective chemical reactions. Why choose me? I don't just know chemistry – I live it every day. My research involves the same topics that appear in the Leaving Certificate: reaction mechanisms, acid-base chemistry, redox reactions, thermochemistry, organic synthesis, and volumetric analysis. I have designed and synthesised over 100 chemical complexes and use advanced analytical techniques (NMR, UV-Vis, GC, electrochemistry) daily. My approach to grinds: · Online and presencial (flexible evenings and weekends) · Focus on exam paper practice and understanding the marking scheme · Clear explanations of mandatory experiments (the 28 required for Leaving Cert) · Help with AAC (Assessment of Chemistry in Practice) – the 40% coursework component introduced in 2025 What students say (paraphrased): "He explains complex topics in a way that finally makes sense" – undergraduate student, TCD.
