Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Over the past 10 years, I have tutored IB and IGCSE Physics to students worldwide, with more than 2000 hours of classes. My students have ranged from those struggling with basic concepts to those seeking a top score. I have refined their understanding of physics, improved their problem-solving skills, and instilled a genuine interest in the subject.

My ability to relate complex physics principles to everyday life has helped students grasp these concepts better. Parents often compliment me on my patience and commitment, and students appreciate my engaging teaching style. I also have experience as an assistant lecturer at Delft University, where I guided undergraduate students in their physics coursework and laboratory experiments.

Tutoring Approach

Physics is not merely a subject; it's a way to understand how the world works. When I tutor, my aim is not just to impart knowledge but also to inculcate a scientific temper in my students. I start by understanding the student's current level and then personalize my teaching strategy. For exams, I focus on making the students practice a lot with past paper questions, which I believe is the key to success in physics. I guide them to structure their answers to optimize marks and provide detailed feedback to ensure they improve.

For extended essays and internal assessments, I help students choose the right topic, structure their research, and provide inputs to improve their academic writing. My approach is to ensure that students understand the underlying principles, which leads to a better understanding and eventually better performance in exams.
