Personal Description:
***I am the highest rated Science/Chemistry/GAMSAT tutor on First Tutors***
As a practising medical doctor with degrees from Trinity College Dublin and the University of Limerick, I bring a strong academic and professional background in Medicine, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology to my tutoring. I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Biochemistry, a PhD in Pharmacology, and a Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery.
My track record of success includes helping over 100 students gain entry into medical school through expert GAMSAT preparation. Most recently, my students achieved outstanding results in the September 2024 and March 2025 GAMSAT sittings — many scoring well above the required threshold and now holding firm offers for graduate medicine. My personal GAMSAT score of 76 (first attempt) and extensive experience as both a tutor and examiner put me in a strong position to guide you through your own journey.

With a personalised approach, a wealth of academic resources, and a track record of success, I’m committed to helping you meet — and exceed — your goals.
Tutoring Experience:
With over 12 years of experience in teaching and tutoring, I’ve worked with students across a wide range of academic levels, both individually and in group settings. My background includes time spent as a university lecturer and as a private tutor, allowing me to support students in ways that are both structured and personalised.
Early in my academic career, I spent two years lecturing in Biochemistry and Biology at Trinity College Dublin. I also taught undergraduate practical labs in these subjects for four years, which gave me the chance to help students build confidence through hands-on learning.
For the past nine years, I’ve focused primarily on one-to-one tutoring in Biology, Biochemistry, and Medicine. This work has allowed me to adapt my teaching to the needs of each individual student, helping many improve their understanding and academic performance.
Through First Tutors, I’ve supported over 200 students in a wide range of subjects, including research skills, essay writing, and study techniques. I place a strong emphasis on helping students become more independent and confident learners, with a focus on long-term academic development.
In addition to private tutoring, I’ve lectured in Enzymology and Drug Design at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), experiences which have broadened my subject knowledge and shaped my teaching style.
Now working as a Senior House Officer, I bring clinical experience into my teaching. This practical perspective helps bridge the gap between academic content and its real-world application, especially for students in health and life sciences.
Each tutoring engagement has helped shape my approach, and I continue to learn and adapt so I can support students in a way that works best for them.
Approach to Grinds:
I like to bring a solid foundation in the theory followed by an interactive approach to practical learning. A solid understanding beats learning off by heart. I try to mix things up a small bit in grinds to make them less of a slog and have been told by many students that I'm very easygoing. For repeat exams I like to focus on specific exam question preparation and will help the students formulate answers to exam questions. I think a solid approach to logical reasoning skills really helps GAMSAT preparation.
Ultimately I really enjoy tutoring and I strive to make every session as enjoyable as possible.

ChristopherFrom Rosemary (5/5): (University Chemistry) Christopher is an EXCELLENT tutor. His love for teaching and his expertise in chemistry really shine through at every lesson. I love his analogies and his ability to make the lessons fun and enjoyable. After a few hit and miss past experiences, I was a bit nervous approaching tutoring but I have really relaxed into it now which is a testament to how personable and professional Christopher is. I found his method of relating certain concepts to things you have an interest in really helped with overall understanding of an abstract topic. Christopher is extremely patient and is always happy to work at your pace and go back over things as many times as needed. He also made me think about my own abilities and the reason why I might have struggled to grasp certain concepts initially and he was absolutely correct. My confidence has definitely increased since starting the lessons and never before has a chemistry exam felt so doable. Christopher is also happy to answer questions or look at topics between lessons-in fact he encourages you to contact him with questions. Christopher is without a doubt the best tutor I've ever had-worth every euro. I would highly recommend him (10 stars!). I hope he decides to teach for many years to come!
Reply from Christopher: Thanks so much Rosemary you’re too kind!!
From Max (/5): (University Chemistry) Christopher is not only an outstanding tutor but also incredibly personable—you'll pick up on this from day one. His positive energy and sense of humor make even the toughest pharmacology lessons enjoyable. Learning with him feels relaxed and fun, which is such a rare quality in a tutor for such advanced material. He strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and approachability, and his friendly demeanor made me look forward to each session.
I struggled for months to find a tutor who could handle my advanced pharmacology modules, but Chris stepped up and took them head-on. His deep knowledge and ability to simplify complex topics made a huge difference in my understanding. I never once felt nervous starting a new section because I knew Chris had complete control over the material, which made me feel confident and at ease.
What makes Chris stand out even more is his wide range of teaching methods, perfectly tailored to different learning styles. As a mature student with dyslexia, I found his analogies and explanations invaluable—they just clicked with me. He works fast but always slows down if he notices you're struggling, showing remarkable patience. He helps you find the gaps in your knowledge while also completing each session's agenda efficiently.
Highly organized and dedicated, Chris never wasted a minute, and every session was worth it. I can say without hesitation that he’s worth every cent. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, fun, and completely dedicated to your success, Chris is your guy, BIG TIME! You won’t regret choosing him as your tutor!

From Paula (/5): (University Essay Writing / Study Skills) I was looking for a tutor for the GAMSAT's 3 months before the exam this March. I am so thankful that I found Dr Christopher . I was not very confident going into our first tutorial in January. However, after that first tutorial with Dr. I felt confident that I could pass or at least give it a of a good try. Dr. is so knowledgeable and experienced. His tutorials are fun and I learned so much from him in such a short space of time. I am due to sit the exam this coming Sunday March 2022. I feel confident of passing, thanks to the tutorials with Dr. . He is a true boffin and polymath. Thank you Dr. !

Reply from Christopher: Cheers boss, absolute legend, you'll make a fantastic doctor in a few years!!
From Sahra (/5): (University Science) I had weekly sessions with Dr Christopher for the Gamsat exam. I came from a non science background and struggled quite a bit with section 3. He was very good at explaining concepts I had trouble grasping and I found that with each session, I grew more confident in tackling a new section of the paper. I would highly recommend Christopher to any potential client!
Reply from Christopher: Thanks so much Sahra! Best of luck with the rest of your studies!
From Niamh (/5): (University Science) Chris is a great tutor. Chris gave me grinds in the final 6 weeks leading up to my GAMSAT exam. In this short space of time, he provided clarity on several complex Chemistry and Biology concepts that made me more comfortable and capable of taking on GAMSAT-style questions on exam day. I would definitely recommend him!
Reply from Christopher: Thanks a million Niamh, good luck with Medicine!
From Oisín (/5): (Senior Cycle Chemistry) I'll keep this short and sweet: I started tutorials with Chris a few months before my GAMSAT exam. I came from a non-science background so this made studying for it especially daunting. He was so good at distilling fairly complex Biology and Chemistry into digestible and really interesting material.
I ended up getting a 70 in my exam, couldn't have done it without his help. Aside from that, I got on really well with him and actually had a lot of fun during the grinds. Couldn't recommend Chris highly enough!

He is punctual, flexible and very friendly which puts you at ease while learning topics you might feel are over your head. Not only does he very effectively outline 'need to know' material, but he makes sure to gauge very early on what your understanding of each topic is, in order to tailor each session specifically to your level of understanding. He is very approachable and patient also. 10/10
Reply from Christopher: Cheers Robyn!!

We are in contact regarding future tutoring when I start back at college for my second semester.
Reply from Christopher: Thanks Cliodhna, you’ve been a great student so far!
From Bridget (/5): (University Biology) V good at explaining everything!!
Reply from Christopher: Thanks Bridget!
From Jack (/5): (University Chemistry) I have been getting Chemistry grinds for college. I did not do Chemistry for the leaving cert had no previous knowledge. Concepts that seemed like rocket science at first were explained in an easy and straightforward way. My knowledge on the subject has increased greatly in just a handful of grinds. Christopher always tries to make the topic relevant to the course I am studying. He is also very flexible and easy going which make the grinds enjoyable.
Reply from Christopher: Nice one Jack, you've been a great student so far and it's been a pleasure to tutor you, even when you show up with concussions from the rugby!
From Michelle (/5): (University Chemistry) I have given a neutral rating (neither good nor bad) because we never met but unfortunately communication broke down after I purchased Dr. Christopher's details and he stopped replying to emails. He doesn't have a working phone for scheduling etc.
After cancelling our session at short notice on the day we were scheduled to meet, Christopher explained to me that he has been very ill this week which I was unaware of and I don't want to put extra strain on him but I would like to try and make contact with another tutor to commence getting lessons.

Reply from Christopher: I really don't understand this feedback. I lost my phone but have been in contact with all my students via email, though my phone is back working now. Communications didn't break down, I have been emailing Michelle consistently. None of my other students have had a single issue with this.
Michelle was made aware at the start of the week that I was very ill and might not make grinds this week which she accepted and wished me to get better soon. Again, none of my other students have had an issue with me rearranging scheduled grinds. Understandably this feedback comes as a bit of a shock. I have wished her well in her search for an alternative tutor.

From Shannan (/5): (Senior Cycle Chemistry) Great to work with , makes learning chemistry fun and helped me build my confidence
Reply from Christopher: Thanks Shannan!
From Aaron (/5): (University Chemistry) Can't recommend Christopher highly enough! I went to him looking for help with Chemistry with no understanding of the subject but after only a handful of grinds I can easily say that my understanding of the subject increased incredibly. I found my repeat exam a breeze thanks to him! Also, I asked him if I could get some physics grinds off him on short notice and he was able to increase my knowledge of physics so much in the space of a week. He's very flexible, and very easy to get along with. Thanks a mil for the all the help man!!!
Reply from Christopher: Cheers Aaron, was a pleasure!!!
From Ian (/5): (University Chemistry) Best tutor I've had. Easy to get along with and doesn't make you feel like an eejit. There's a reason why he's the highest rated tutor on this site! Very helpful.
Reply from Christopher: Haha thanks Ian, I don't make you feel like an eejit because you're not!!
From Haider (/5): (University Chemistry) Great tutor! Wish I had more time to cover materials before exam. Thanks
Reply from Christopher: Thanks Haider.
From Craig (/5): (University Biology) I have being doing grinds with Chistopher for the past few months now and I can thoroughly recommend him as a tutor. He has been helping me with some M.Sc. level essay writing for Pharmacology topics. I needed this following a burnout which I experienced during my masters course. His tutoring has helped to rebuild my confidence in essay writing and has provided me with the support and encouragement that I needed. For me, his experience in biochemistry and his PhD made him an outstanding candidate for a tutor. In person, he did not disappoint either. His passion and knowledge of science makes his grinds enjoyable. He is reliable and eager to help in any way he can also.
Reply from Christopher: Cheers Craig, you've been a great student so far and it's a pleasure to tutor you!
From Ian (/5): (University Biology) I have been getting grinds of Chris for six months now and I cant thank him enough for the effort and help that he has put into help me though my studies. He is always diligent and never lets me down. Chris is a very knowledgeable guy and has always came prepared for each grind, making it easy for me to understand the material. Being dyslexic, Chris take that on board and adapted the grinds perfectly, so that I get the most out of the few hours each week. 5/5 does not do Chris justice as he goes above and beyond for his students. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Reply from Christopher: Cheers Ian, been a pleasure so far and I'm looking forward to continuing our grinds over the next year of your MSc.
From Sahar (/5): (University Biology) I paid for €20 for nothing, I asked him to help me for my final exams and he said that he can and then never replied again. The worst experience ever and my advice is to keep your eyes open about those types of tutors or the rate of the first tutors website will go down so sharp as now I think is not reliable. Please keep yours as on him and the tutors like him as I wasted my time waiting him and he never helped me. Thank you
Reply from Christopher: Sahar never paid me anything, she paid the website for my details. She refused to meet up with me instead asked me to plagiarise answers for her for FINAL exams. This is illegal and so I refused to do it. My many other 5 star reviews would tell a different story.
From Sundos (/5): (University Biology) Chris is an amazing tutor, his background in science, having a PhD, and currently being a medical student made him extremely knowledgeable in the different types of sciences. I needed a tutor for my third year level college degree in 4 difficult and different modules, taking grinds with Chris made them so much easier to understand and actually feel like I would be a good scientist. His method of teaching is very good, as it is like having a conversation and then seeing what you understood from that conversation. I would highly recommend Chris as a tutor.
Reply from Christopher: Thanks so much, it's been a pleasure to tutor you and I know you'll make a great scientist very soon!
From Tristin (/5): (University Chemistry) Top class. Cant recommend enough. I dont say that lightly. I had no clue of science and had no confidence in the subject. Now i have a very good understanding and my knowledge is constantly growing because of Christopher’s tutorials.
Reply from Christopher: You're a gentleman Tristan!
From Killian (/5): (University Chemistry) Christopher was an excellent choice for many reasons. He has a PhD. currently a medical student and has experience in lecturing. Overall this has given him profound knowledge and experience in science disciplines and education. He is patient and has a problem based solving approach to studying. He is very easy to work with and is friendly - this is important as it creates an optimal environment for learning. He has helped me with biochemistry (his forte) and I continue to see him once a week as his grinds are more of an investment than anything. Choosing Dr. as my own personal tutor has been the best investment I've made, I regret not starting these grinds earlier.

From Emma (/5): (University Chemistry) Christopher was extremely helpful during the time I received tutoring from him. I received help from him with University level Chemistry. Not having a background in Chemistry previously, I found him remarkably patient with me as he guided me to understand the subject. He is punctual. flexible and manages to make topics easily relatable and easy to comprehend.I left every lesson with a better understanding and better knowledge of chemistry. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering tutoring.
Reply from Christopher: Thanks Emma, you were a great student!
From Hayley (/5): (Adult / Casual Chemistry) Christopher has been an excellent help throughout the summer. I have been getting gamsat chemistry tutoring from him once per week for nearly 2 months now. Chemistry was a subject I was extremely weak in. Now I can confidently answer this section of questions on practice papers for an upcoming gamsat exam. I find him friendly, punctual, prepared, enthusiastic and genuinely interested in how I'm progressing. I look forward to learning more about chemistry with him in the upcoming weeks.
Reply from Christopher: Cheers Hayley, you've been an exemplary student so far and it's been a pleasure to tutor you.

Reply from Christopher: All my reviews to date are 5/5. Rania expected me to write her entire MSc Literature Review for her, something against academic rules. Instead I came up with her research question, structure of the lit review, did all the research for papers, and even came up with her research methodology, going so far as to design her survey. Haven't been contactable for the last day so she gave me negative feedback.
From Ebtihal (/5): (University Science) He is a good tutor and I would recommend all students to treat with him.

From Beibhinn (/5): (Junior Cycle Essay Writing / Study Skills) Christopher transmits his knowledge for his speciality subjects of French, Science (all three areas of it) and maths with enthusiasm and makes the material engaging and accessible. He gets a lot of material covered in the study time. He is punctual, professional and has an engaging and bright personality that is a great asset. He makes sure to recap the last lesson at the start of the next one to see what is retained and he also gets my son to explain back at the end of the session what they have been covering. We look forward to continuing to work with him during the coming academic year. My son is entering Junior Cert exams this year.
