Tutoring Experience
Over the past five years, I have dedicated over 1000 hours to tutoring IB and IGCSE students in Physics. My teaching spans all topics, from quantum phenomena to classical mechanics, and I have guided numerous students towards achieving top grades. I take a holistic approach, focusing on both content comprehension and exam techniques. I've helped students boost their confidence, manage stress, and transform their approach to studying.
I have also tutored at summer science camps in Germany, sharing my love for Physics with young learners. I have been invited several times as a guest lecturer at local high schools and am known for my engaging teaching style. The smiles and achievements of my students have always been my most rewarding experiences.
Tutoring Approach
My approach to tutoring is rooted in the belief that understanding is the key to learning. Each lesson, we tackle a concept, breaking it down to its most basic elements and then building it up step by step. My teaching methodology is very interactive; I always encourage questions and critical thinking.
For exam preparation, we conduct regular timed practice with past papers, analyzing mistakes, and revisiting areas of difficulty. I place a heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding over rote learning, allowing students to solve a broad range of problems with ease. Physics, at its core, is about the world around us, so I frequently use real-world examples and applications to foster an appreciation for the subject.
