Physics & Materials Science Tutoring – University & Engineering Level

Von 50.42 Fr /Std

Physics and materials science can be challenging without the right explanations. I offer structured, clear, and personalized tutoring to help students truly understand concepts rather than memorize formulas.

I hold a PhD in Materials Science & Nanotechnology and have several years of experience teaching and mentoring university students in physics, materials science, and semiconductor-related topics.

My classes are adapted to the student’s level and goals, whether you are:
- Preparing for university exams
- Studying engineering or physics
- Struggling with core concepts and problem-solving
- Looking to deepen your understanding for research or advanced studies

Topics can include (but are not limited to):
- General Physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics)
- Solid-State Physics & Semiconductor Physics
- Materials Science fundamentals
- Nanotechnology & MEMS basics
- Exam preparation and problem-solving strategies

I focus on clear explanations, step-by-step problem solving, and building confidence. Lessons are interactive and always tailored to your needs.

Über mich

I am a passionate and patient physics and materials science tutor with a strong academic and research background. I hold a PhD in Materials Science & Nanotechnology and have several years of experience teaching, mentoring, and supporting students at university and engineering-school level.

My teaching style is clear, structured, and student-centered. I focus on helping students truly understand concepts instead of memorizing formulas. I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and learning pace, whether they need help with coursework, exam preparation, or strengthening their foundations.

I enjoy working with motivated students who want to improve their confidence and problem-solving skills. My lessons are interactive and practical, with step-by-step explanations and real examples drawn from physics, engineering, and applied research. I aim to make complex topics approachable and less intimidating.

I teach in a calm, supportive environment where questions are always welcome. My goal is not only to help students succeed academically, but also to help them enjoy learning and develop long-term understanding.

Mathematics course taught by an engineering graduate with over 14 years of teaching experience in mathematics up to the undergraduate level. I also have more than 9 years of experience in teaching and guiding standardized tests such as the GRE and SAT. I can help you learn these standardized courses (GRE, SAT, and even TOEFL) more effectively.

I offer mathematics lessons for various levels of students, including Bachelor students, IB (Math SL and Math HL) students, A-level students, European S6 and S7 level students, GCSE students, and IGCSE students.

I also provide science courses in Physics and Chemistry for students up to the European upper secondary level, as well as IB and A-level students. Additionally, I offer Biology lessons for students up to the European Secondary level, GCSE level, and IGCSE level.

Currently, I am teaching a diverse range of students, including:
- GCSE students
- IGCSE students
- IB students
- European School students
- AS/A-level students
- Lycée Vauban students
- Athénée de Luxembourg students

My current students are from the following schools:

If you’ve ever felt that science and math are difficult, it’s probably because no one showed you how to think like a problem solver.
In my classes, you’ll learn not just formulas or code but how to truly understand concepts, apply them, and build strong logical intuition.

I teach:
• 🔢 Mathematics: From algebra and calculus to applied problem-solving for real-world use.
• 💻 Computer Science: Coding fundamentals (Python, C++), algorithms, and logical thinking for beginners and intermediate learners.
• ⚛️ Physics: Mechanics, thermodynamics, and practical examples that make abstract ideas simple and visual.

As a Software Engineer and Master’s student in Engineering at Nagoya University, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on experience from real projects. My teaching approach is interactive, visual, and deeply focused on understanding over memorization.

Let’s turn complex problems into clear, step-by-step insights — and make learning something you genuinely enjoy.

Hi there,
I offer tutoring for math and science subjects here.
Regardless of whether it's school, university or work - having to learn to pass a subject is neither fun nor much point, as you'll soon forget most of it.
But how can it be better?
I have experienced several times how much of success depends on the emotions associated with learning. That's why I'll try to create an environment in which you feel free to make mistakes - because mistakes are important for learning! I rely on understanding, patience and curiosity to develop a positive relationship with learning rather than applying pressure.

Following the neurobiologist Gerald Hüther, I see the art in setting just the right big challenges to be exciting but not frightening, so that you automatically develop joy in discovery.
I would be happy to have an introductory meeting in order to take your needs and wishes into account from the outset.
Background information about me:
I am a qualified engineer (mechanical engineering) with 3 years of work experience, as well as a master's degree in bionics (cross-sectional discipline between biology and engineering) and a PhD in environmental protection of mountain regions. I was active as a youth leader at the Alpine Club.
I have been giving tutoring lessons on the side ever since I was at school.
I am pleased to meet you.

Whether you need help with homework, or would like to better understand various concepts that are covered in the curriculum, I am delighted to help!

First class will be to assess the level you are at and where you need assistance. Then we can start tackling whatever questions and problems you have.

I am here to help, and to guide you through the questions, but you are here to learn, not to have someone do the work for you, so I won't give you the answers, I will help you find them.

I have a BSc in Mathematics and am passionate about helping people to understand and enjoy the subject.

Mathematics is a key subject in the Baccalaureate exam and requires clear understanding and regular practice.
In this course, I help Bac students master mathematics step by step, following the official program. Lessons are explained in a simple and structured way, with many examples and exam-style exercises.
The course focuses on understanding methods, avoiding common mistakes, and gaining confidence to solve problems independently.
This class is suitable for students who want to improve their level, prepare seriously for the Bac exam, and achieve better results.

As an MSc Astronomy student, I completed university-level courses in Calculus/Analysis and Linear Algebra during my Bachelor’s studies. Over the years, I’ve learned how to explain concepts in a way that feels clear and intuitive, not overwhelming. If you want to pass your course with more confidence, I can help by working directly with your syllabus, lecture notes, assignments, and past exams. Together, we’ll practice efficiently and focus on the types of problems that matter most.

How lessons usually work:
- We start with your level, goals, and what your lecturer expects
- I explain concepts step-by-step, then we practice together with similar exercises
- We’ll write short summaries and you'll get optional "homework" so you improve between sessions

Lessons are available online and in person if you’re nearby. Send me a message with your course name/topic and what you need help with, and I’ll suggest a plan for the first sessions.

Economics and business concepts can seem abstract at first — my goal is to make them clear, logical, and practical.

This class is designed for school students who want to better understand economics, business studies, and applied mathematics in a structured and supportive learning environment. I focus on explaining concepts step by step, using real-world examples, simple models, and exam-oriented explanations.

My background includes:

A strong academic focus on Economics & Business & Math

A successful internship at Deutsche Bank

Winner of the “Planspiel Börse” (stock market simulation)

Experience tutoring fellow students at my school

While mathematics is part of economics, the focus is on understanding and application, not abstract theory. I help students develop confidence, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills — especially useful for exams and coursework.

Lessons are fully personalized and adapted to the student’s level, goals, and school curriculum.
