Dr Patra is an experienced and patient tutor. I have been tutoring with him for the whole year of Year 12. My SAC results were excellent. Without the assistant of Dr Patra. I wouldn't be able to achieve the high SAC mark. I am confident to recommend Dr Patra to students who ever need extra assistance in Chemistry.

VCE Chemistry is a challenging subject, especially with all the required memorisation and knowledge retention for the VCE exam. Dr Patra is totally involved with your child's VCE chemistry learning, in the zoom, in person classes and the one to one tutoring. As a parent sitting in a number of classes, I was privileged to see his dedication and fully knowledge of the VCE curriculum. All of this helped my son achieve a good 2022 VCE result. Definitely recommend Dr Patra for your VCE chemistry student.

Dr Patra is a very committed and knowledgeable tutor. He has helped me immensely improve my knowledge in chemistry throughout years 11 and 12, through his clear and thorough explanation of content, and valuable resources and materials. He frequently held topic tests and revision lessons before SACs and the final exam, and provided insightful, detailed feedback which I found very helpful for my progression throughout the year. Overall, Dr Patra is a very valuable tutor who wants the best for all of his students, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is searching for a VCE chemistry tutor.

Dr Patra is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutor, who helped me immensely to improve my Chemistry. Through his teaching, I have come to like the subject and enjoy what I learnt every week. He provided various sources of materials that were helpful in preparing for SACs and the final exam, that were not given to me by my school, and these resources were really helpful. He always helped me when I didn’t understand a concept and put in lots of effort into each class.

Being an enthusiastic tutor, Dr Patra’s lessons are always refreshing and relevant as he often provides extended knowledge. His teaching style inspires students to engage and contemplate. With a small class, Dr Patra can identify my son’s strengths and weaknesses, thereby helping to improve his school grades. He is a dedicated tutor who sets out to ensure his students truly understand the topics. He uses the board to explain difficult concepts, he sets tests to determine their knowledge. Most importantly, my son does not see the class a bore, instead he looks forward to learn. That says it all.

Attending Mr Patra's class really helped me to stay on track with my progress and I gradually see improvement in my Chemistry results. He provides students with many wider knowledge that we can't learn from textbooks or in school. Mr Patra is also very helpful in terms of the preparation for my SAC, he replies messages sent as soon as possible, sets test and exams questions do to under exam conditions and gives tips on how to write a full mark explainations. Mr Patra is also very engaging and enthutiastic which makes Chemistry interesting and fun to learn.

Soumendra is a gold mine to find. He has gone above and beyond as a tutor. His knowledge, expertise,advice and guidance is invaluable. He brings multiple resources to lessons from various sources that aims to clarify and consolidate any possible grey areas. Similarly, at the start of every lesson, Soumendra explains exactly what we will be covering, for how long and what we aim to cover in the upcoming lessons. Ever since I started tutoring with Soumendra, my grades and understanding has increased exponentially and I believe that under his tuition I will be heading for an A pass in VCE or higher.
