Olympiad-Level Physical Chemistry Online (Theory+practice)

You will learn the most important theoretical aspects of physical chemistry necessary for solving problems at National and International Chemical Olympiads and put them to use in a myriad of problems from previous Olympiads. We will walk through the solutions for problems from the Olympiads of different countries: Canada, Germany, France, Russia, Poland, and others. All problems will be translated into English, so you will be able to access material that your peers can't. Homework will include solving other problems from past Olympiads and doing simpler practice problems.
Additionally, we will look at the practical applications of the theories and what philosophical implications they might have.

Key manuals for learning the syllabus:
Atkins & de Paula Elements of Physical Chemistry

About Me

I am a polymath, I am majoring in chemistry but I am also interested in theoretical physics, sustainable development, permaculture & regenerative agriculture, music, video games as narratives, and linguistics.
I am also a polyglot, I have studied over 30 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish, Danish and Latin.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning vast amounts of information, given the right approach. I strive to find the right approach to my students and explain abstract ideas in terms that anyone can understand.
I like to combine knowledge from different, seemingly disparate fields and find analogies and parallels between them, and I hope to show my students the beauty of these parallels that tie together so many different areas of learning.

Education

Specialist in Chemistry Radiochemistry, Moscow State University, Department of Chemistry (6-year Chemistry degree; I wrote a thesis on the effects of gamma-radiation on the hydrolysis of lignin)

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching physical chemistry to advanced pupils for 4 years, and 5 of my pupils have won the Russian Chemical Olympiad in 2021 and 2022, amongst other regional Olympiads.
My degree qualifies me to teach at any school in Russia.

Excellent teacher
A wonderful introduction to the language.

Very good introduction to the Latin language with very good examples and an immediate dive into the living language. I look forward to continuing.

Having trouble with quantum mechanics? Can't make sense of operators, eigenvectors, eigenfunctions, perturbations and so on? Then you've come to the right place! I can help you with any questions that you have regarding both the mathematical and the conceptual sides of quantum physics (with the latter being in fact even more important than the former!) At my lessons you will get: - clear explanations with analogies, examples and striking visualisations - guided problem practice with a gradual increase in complexity - lots of curated resources, both textual and audiovisual
You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker! For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level: Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta" "Corderiī Colloquia" Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria" John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it) We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary
You will learn the syllabus necessary to pass A-levels, GCSE's, and after that we will walk through past exam papers together. Your homework will include solving similar problems and practice problems on your own, the solutions will be reviewed at the start of each subsequent lesson.

Rico (Ph.D)
Tutoring and support in science subjects at every educational level (also for deepening out of interest).
Building a good foundation for the science subjects is useful for everyone. It is especially essential that the teacher is skilled and didactic in building up the knowledge. I personally experienced that this was missing when I progressed from MBO level 2 to a PhD in physics at the University of Amsterdam. I would like to make a difference and send you on your way to the wonderful world of mathematics, physics and astronomy with a dose of self-confidence. For all secondary school levels and higher education, I can guide you with a plan to increase your knowledge and get the best out of yourself for tests, exams and examinations as well as to deepen your knowledge out of interest.
