Hi! Welcome! I am a Ph.D. researcher in Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. Recently, I graduated from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands with a Master's degree in Nanoscience (w/ cum Laude). I offer private tutoring (for high school and/or university-level students) so you can understand the fundamental concepts and excel in your studies. I have teaching experience of 5+ years in Physics and Mathematics to both high school and university-level students.

This class aims to provide an overview of calculus and linear algebra and focuses on the fundamental mathematical tools and concepts, such as limits, differentiation, and integration. Building on these basic concepts, we will review methods for solving problems related to optimization, linear differential equations, and matrix algebra.

Outline of the course:
1. Calculus:
1.1 Limits of functions
1.2 Continuity, types of discontinuities, intermediate value theorem
1.3 Differentiation (or derivative), slope, secant, tangent
1.4 Rules and theorems for differentiation, power rule, product rule, chain rule
1.5 Derivatives of exp, log, and trigonometric functions
1.6 Implicit differentiation and derivative of inverse functions
1.7 Rolle's theorem, mean value theorem, critical point, maximum/minimum of a function
1.8 First and second derivative tests, inflection points
1.9 Anti-derivative, indefinite integral, integration by substitution, integration by parts
1.10 Definite integral and its application (area between curves, application in physics)\
1.11 Optimization and linear differential equations

2. Linear Algebra:
2.1 Vectors and scalars in Euclidean space, vector arithmetic, scalar product, cross product
2.2 Equations for lines and planes, vector spaces, linear independence, span, basis, dimension
2.3 Linear transformations, coordinates, and representation of linear transformations by matrices
2.4 Matrix operations: matrix multiplication, transpose, determinant, inverse, and Hermitian conjugate
2.5 Systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination
2.6 Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
2.7 Range, kernel, and rank-nullity theorem

and many more...

*Note that the sessions will be held online (via Discord/Zoom/Microsoft Teams).

About Me
Welcome!

I have recently obtained my Master's degree in Nanoscience (w/ cum Laude) at the University of Groningen and started my Ph.D. journey in Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. Before that, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics at Jacobs University Bremen. I already have 6+ years of experience tutoring students as both a teaching assistant and a private tutor. I adapt my tutoring individually for each student so you can get the most out of it.

With me, you can expect the following advantages:
+ 100% attention and support
+ Safe and judgment-free learning environment
+ Learning pace and content adjusted to your needs
+ Identification, solving, and overcoming of problem topics/tasks
+ Elimination of knowledge gaps
+ Flexible lessons possible (also on weekends and public holidays)
+ Lessons for high school and university students

I look forward to hearing from you and working together to help you achieve your study goals. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Education
Regarding my academic qualification, I have been pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany, since 2023. Quite recently, I obtained my M.Sc. Nanoscience degree (w/ cum Laude) at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In 2021, I completed my Bachelor's in Physics and Mathematics from Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, with a 1.05 GPA. During my Bachelor's, I took various specialization courses such as Condensed Matter Physics and Devices, Advanced Quantum Mechanics, Elementary Particles and Fields, Advanced Optics, etc.
Experience / Qualifications
- 6+ years of private tutoring for high school and university-level students
- 3+ years teaching assistant at Jacobs University for Bachelor's courses such as Classical Physics, Modern Physics, Analytical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics. Additionally, worked as a teaching lab assistant at the University of Groningen for the 'electricity and magnetism' course. Currently, I am also working as a teaching lab assistant at the University of Cologne for a master's course in condensed matter.
- Organized MINT workshop in Physics for high school students around the Bremen area
- Actively involved in Physics and Math societies during my studies
- Participated in the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO 2016, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) and the University Physics Competition (UPC 2018, 2019, 2020)

Hello, I am a mathematics masters student specializing in algebra, geometry and number theory. I have graduated from the university of Groningen with a bachelor in mathematics. As such, I've spent a great deal of time studying mathematics at a higher level and have become acquainted with a broad range of mathematical disciplines such as algebra, geometry, analysis, calculus, probability, optimization and more, this of-course includes any high school mathematics. During my studies I working as a teaching assistant whenever possible so I have some experience teaching.

In mathematics there are often many ways to come to the same conclusion and it varies from person to person what they consider easiest to understand. As such I try to get to know the student first and figure out how they may learn best. Personally, I rely a lot on intuition and deep understanding of concepts and so i try to convey to students the most essential and fundamental ideas before moving on, as well as, giving them interpretations of what is happening so that they may becomes easier to imagine and more tangible. In solving any problem, I think it is important to first sit back and understand what is going on before embarking on any calculation or proofs.

In a typical class I would first survey what the student already knows and discuss the concepts with them making sure they understand them very well then we would move on to discussing examples and non-examples (this would take most of the class). Finally we would solve problems together discussing them as we go along. This of course can vary from student to student, their level and time available.
