The wondrous world of quanta for non-physicists

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 28 € /h

Quantum mechanics has developed from an abstract theory to a technically application-oriented science over the past 50 years. We discuss the basics of quantum mechanics on the basis of a heuristic approach and try to develop an intuition for relevant facts. Depending on the audience, we will discuss case studies from biology, chemistry or computer science and show to what extent quantum mechanical effects influence our everyday life.

Extra information

This course is intended for absolute laypeople, you don't need to know anything about quantum mechanics. We discuss the level of knowledge individually and start exactly where the course participant is.

About Me

I came across physics in a roundabout way, but quickly developed a great passion for science and have been on fire ever since. Since I was a career changer myself and have been giving tutoring for several years, I am familiar with most of the problems. Even if the mathematical basics are poor, it is quite possible to build up an intuitive understanding of physics and to work with it.

I enjoy introducing laypeople to the wondrous world of physics and this creates a pleasant learning atmosphere.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Graduated and experienced for more than 18 years, I give private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Chemistry - Biology, Geology to students of French program of Terminales, patent and secondary or international programs (IB ) or Canadian in English (Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) or competitions and medical university preparatory classes or 1st and 2nd university years for the academic year 2022/2023 either at home or by internet online by virtual class method .
The online method is easily done by a link that serves as a writing board, typing and projection more than Skype or Zoom talking about which we communicate. This method is very modernized and reliable (it's like we are in the same place) for more than 6 years I have been working by this method.
The results of my students and in particular the students of Terminale are superb with successes in mention very good and good and sometimes excellent.
Homework help for CNED students.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

Thanks to math-focused workshops I attended throughout my primary and high school, I have learned how to explain mathematical concepts in simple language. This is what matters most to me — that the students I tutor truly understand mathematics. That is why I use elements of the Hejny method, which is based on guiding students to solve the problems on their own. I mainly ask questions or further explain the theory, which helps students work more independently on problems.

It is important to me that we have enough time to focus not only on what students are currently covering at school, but also on strengthening the fundamentals, which will help them succeed more in the future.

I tutor elementary and high school students who feel unsure about mathematics, and I believe that through working together we can help them feel confident and at home with math.

I offer clear, structured tutoring in Maths, Chemistry, and Physics, supporting students with both content mastery and exam success at IGCSE and A-Level. My lessons focus on clear explanations and the core ideas behind each topic, so things actually make sense.

For exam preparation, I shift focus to exam technique: you'll learn how mark schemes work, how answers are graded, and how to phrase responses clearly so you don’t lose marks because of wording, even when you know the content.
