Chemistry can be challenging if it’s taught as pure memorization — my goal is to change that. With over 5 years of tutoring experience and a BSc in Chemistry from TU/e, I help students understand the “why” and “how” behind chemistry, turning tricky concepts into something logical and even enjoyable.
This class is for high school students (IB SL/HL, A-level, AP) and first-year university students taking General Chemistry. Lessons are in English and are ideal for international students or anyone who prefers studying in English.
We cover all major topics, including stoichiometry and moles, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids, bases and buffers, kinetics, electrochemistry, atomic structure, bonding, and organic chemistry basics (nomenclature, mechanisms, isomerism).
A typical 60-minute lesson includes: 1) quick check-in and goal-setting, 2) a clear explanation with one core example, 3) guided practice with feedback, 4) an exam-style problem under light time pressure, and 5) recap and micro-homework with an error log to track recurring mistakes.
Lessons are available online (interactive whiteboard, past papers, custom notes) or in-person in Eindhoven.

About Me
I’m Valerian, a Chemistry BSc from TU/e. I help high-school and first-year university students master Chemistry, Calculus/Math, and high-school Physics.
My tutoring is clear and structured: I diagnose where understanding breaks down, rebuild concepts step by step, and coach problem-solving so students become confident and independent. I care about efficiency, calm progress, and real understanding—not rote memorization. Lessons are in English, online worldwide. If you want clarity and steady results, I’d be happy to help.
Outside of teaching I love dancing, debating, and cooking — things that keep me curious, communicative, and creative, qualities I bring to every lesson.

Math becomes manageable when you see it step by step. I help students build solid foundations and tackle problems with confidence.
For: high-school (algebra, pre-calculus, IB HL math, A-level math) and first-year university Calculus I–II.
We cover functions and graphs, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications (rates, optimization, curve sketching), integrals and applications (area, volume, accumulation), sequences/series, and basic vectors/linear algebra if required.
A typical 60-minute lesson: 1) short diagnostic to spot weak points, 2) concise concept explanation, 3) guided examples → independent practice, 4) exam-style problem under light time pressure, 5) recap and small next-step plan with an error log to track progress.
Available online (interactive whiteboard, problem banks) .

Physics gets easier when formulas connect to intuition. I guide students step by step so concepts make sense and problems feel solvable.
For: high-school physics (IB SL, AP Physics 1, A-level foundations) and students preparing for exams or needing a stronger base for university.
We cover kinematics, Newton’s laws, forces and friction, energy and power, momentum and collisions, circular motion, simple harmonic motion and waves, basic electricity and DC circuits.
Lesson structure (60 min): 1) goal-setting and concept overview, 2) worked example, 3) guided practice, 4) short timed problem, 5) recap and next-step plan. Mistakes are logged and revisited to ensure steady improvement.
