Astrophysicist & Experienced STEM Tutor Personalised Maths, Physics and Science LearningTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Hi, my name is Federica and I am an astrophysicist. I obtained my PhD from ETH Zürich and, for over ten years, I have been working in international research teams, contributing to space missions such as ESA Euclid and NASA Roman, and collaborating with scientists from all over the world. For more than ten years, I have also been active in teaching, tutoring and science communication. In my teaching approach, I consider it essential to listen to the student, understand their needs, and identify the way they reason and learn best. This is key to creating a truly personalised learning path that motivates them to engage with the subject and gradually take on more advanced learning challenges. I helped several students to strengthen the foundations, identify strategic points early, and progressively work towards more advanced problem-solving and exam preparation. I do not believe in a standard “one-to-many” lesson, but rather in a learning path designed to genuinely consolidate the student’s knowledge, help them become progressively more independent, and make them aware of the practical and interdisciplinary applications that a particular subject can have in their academic journey. I am fluent in Italian and English, and I am currently strengthening my knowledge of French. Thank you for your attention.

Mathe & Physik verständlich erklärt – Nachhilfe von den Grundlagen bis zum Abitur | RWTH-StudentTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Ich studiere Computer Engineering an der RWTH Aachen und biete individuelle Nachhilfe in Mathematik, Physik und naturwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen an – von den ersten Grundlagen bis zur Oberstufe und zum Abitur. Besonders wichtig ist mir, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler den Stoff wirklich verstehen, anstatt Formeln und Lösungswege nur auswendig zu lernen. Ich erkläre Zusammenhänge Schritt für Schritt, passe Tempo und Schwierigkeitsgrad individuell an und arbeite gezielt an den Stellen, an denen noch Unsicherheiten bestehen. Wir können gemeinsam: - aktuelle Themen aus dem Unterricht aufarbeiten, - Hausaufgaben und Übungsaufgaben besprechen, - Wissenslücken systematisch schließen, - uns auf Klassenarbeiten, Klausuren oder das Abitur vorbereiten, - und schwierige Themen mit zusätzlichen Aufgaben festigen. In Mathematik kann ich unter anderem bei Algebra, Gleichungen, Funktionen, Geometrie, Trigonometrie, Analysis, Vektorrechnung und Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung helfen. In Physik unterstütze ich unter anderem bei Mechanik, Elektrizitätslehre, Energie, Schwingungen/Wellen und weiteren schulischen Themen. Durch mein Ingenieurstudium beschäftige ich mich selbst intensiv mit höherer Mathematik, Physik und technischen Anwendungen. Daher kann ich bei Bedarf auch fortgeschrittenere Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Studienanfänger in mathematischen Grundlagen unterstützen. Der Unterricht kann auf Deutsch oder Englisch stattfinden und wird individuell an das Niveau und die Ziele des Schülers bzw. der Schülerin angepasst. Mein Ziel ist, dass Mathematik und Physik nicht mehr wie eine Sammlung zufälliger Formeln wirken, sondern Schritt für Schritt logisch und nachvollziehbar werden.
