Mathematics and Physics, understanding beats learning !
As a student at Oxford University in Energy, with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, I can give tutoring at all levels (high school - university) in most scientific subjects.
In my teaching, I aim to make people understand rather than learn. This is a method that has followed me throughout my studies and has greatly facilitated my own learning. I receive very good reviews of this approach and am well motivated to share it with you!

Imperial College Student teaching French, Arabic, Maths, Physics ... at all levels!Hello !
My name's Ilyass, I am doing a Master in Applied Mathematics at Imperial College and I just arrived from Paris about a month ago! I have a strong mathematical background and have taught students in their bachelor in France to prepare for the nation-wide examination for "Les Grandes Ecoles".
I helped them with oral and writing skills, whether it was for french dissertations or solving maths and physics problems! I fluently speak Arabic, French, English and spanish, and trying to learn Japanese as well. Feel free to get in touch and we will discuss all of it with more details, I am always listening and willing to learn and help you learn for that matter!

Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVTThe math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the French or Swiss program of maturity or university are done by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools.
A special follow-up program to better prepare for the Terminales session.
So that I can give support courses for the 1st year of university in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.
Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

Tutoring in physics and mathematics, primary to university levelDuring a regular school curriculum, the material to be assimilated can be considerable, so much so that many concepts are only understood superficially, just enough to pass an exam. In my opinion, it is essential to establish a solid foundation before building new knowledge. The course is therefore structured as follows:
- Review of relevant physical and mathematical concepts prior to the course.
- Course overview: We identify the key concepts, what is well understood and less well understood by the student, in which case misunderstandings are addressed.
- Practice: We put new concepts into practice through a series of exercises aimed at anchoring the learning.
- Summary: I like to conclude each session with a discussion where the roles are reversed: the student explains the concepts covered in their own words. It is often by trying to teach in turn that we highlight our misunderstandings — and really consolidate our knowledge! "If you cannot explain something simply, it is because you have not understood it well." - Albert Einstein - Written record: I give lessons via videoconference, with a tablet and stylus as a visual aid. Notes are taken on Notability and are shared at the end of the session.

Physics & Maths Lessons! - Experience with Belgian and EU Baccalaureate, IB, CCVX, University Applications & Learning DisabilitiesHi,
My name is Jeremy and I have a Master's in Physics with honors from the University of Leicester (which was featured as a top 5 Physics university in the UK by The Guardian) and a - french - European School diploma in which I achieved 90% in Physics and 85% in Maths.
Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds at the homework school in Saint-Gilles (CASG du Service Social Juif asbl) as well as 4 years of private teaching.
In my classes, I aim to:
- help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths
- clearly explain and break down topics
- give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorization)
- help with ADHD & other learning disabilities
- give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life
Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject! My lessons will always be tailored to the individual needs of the student, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions!
