My name is Filip, and I am an experienced organic chemist. I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and helping those around me unlock the secrets of the world of organic synthesis.

Organic chemistry can be extremely intimidating, and trust me, I have been there before. However, one quote that changed the way I viewed chemistry in general came from my high school chemistry teacher, who told me: "Chemistry is just about thinking, nothing else." Reducing chemistry to such a simple concept made it so much easier for me to navigate through the subject's challenges. I hope to be able to teach you how to do the same!

I have several years of experience tutoring IB HL Biology and Chemistry, as well as medicinal chemistry and biochemistry, online to undergraduate students and medical school students. Additionally, I have one year of experience working in a synthetic organic chemistry laboratory. If you are interested in learning about the nuances of working in an organic lab, I am here to share my knowledge with you!

Furthermore, I am currently in the process of synthesizing my own anticancer drug. In May of 2022, I began the synthesis of a novel anticancer drug, working on synthesizing the organic backbone of the drug in collaboration with Spark904 BV of the University of Amsterdam, where I serve as the lead researcher of Benzenoplex BV. This research is conducted alongside Luka Novković, M.Sc., an organic chemist from the University of Belgrade. The drug combines an intercalating agent with targeted radionuclide therapy.

Moreover, during the first semester of my studies at Jacobs University - Bremen, I was involved in the inorganic chemistry group led by Professor Ulrich Kortz. Additionally, I participated in the synthesis of Knoevenagel condensation products (ethyl cyanoacetate with p-nitrobenzaldehyde) with the organic chemistry group under the guidance of Professor Thomas C. Nugent. I also have experience in microbiology techniques and bacterial culturing. Leggi di meno

I teach online via Teams or Zoom, and I teach in English since Dutch is not my strong suit, as I have only recently moved to the Netherlands this year.

I believe in the Socratic method of learning, as it encourages asking 'why?' and leads students to explore nuances more thoroughly. This approach not only enhances their understanding but also allows them to gain more knowledge compared to mere cramming and rote learning, which are common strategies in organic chemistry and can be exhausting for students.
