Chemistry lessons for university students by Oxford uni post-doc / teaching lang: English / communication in French available

Von 56.94 € /Std

I offer private lessons in Chemistry to school students following French, British, IB or American systems. Being a PhD-holder in Chemistry from Imperial College London, I also offer support to chemistry students at university level.
Classes are delivered online via Zoom.

In my classes:
- I encourage asking relevant questions and I am willing to repeat explanations as much as necessary.
- I use technological tools and web interfaces to provide visual support to verbal explanations, which I consider a key part of effective teaching.
- I share my own, tailored, class notes and encourage the student to take notes him/herself as practice.
- We solve problems and I also assign homework and correct it in the following lesson.

After my classes, I share my notes with my students to help them retain the information and revise.

Über mich

I am a PhD holder in Chemistry research from Imperial College London, where I also completed my undergraduate studies (1st class Honours).
Throughout my years in secondary school and at university, I have always been driven by a thirst for understanding, which helped me break away from the understandable but restricting reluctance to ask questions, for either fear of embarrassment or of seeming geeky. As a result, I find my eagerness to share the knowledge I have gained with young students is fueled by the hope of helping these students break away from such worries, and enjoy the process of learning. Apart from the importance of creating an environment where students feel comfortable to ask when struggling to understand, I am also aware of the value of using creative yet simple analogies when explaining concepts, not just to engage students’ attention, but also to inspire them to ask questions which may go beyond the level they are at.

Bildung

I obtained my undergraduate (MSci; 1st class) and postgraduate (PhD) degrees from Imperial College London, after completing my French Baccalaureate with distinction.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen

My chemistry students include French Bac and IB students. I also teach Arabic and English to professionals. However, my love for and experience in teaching goes back to when I used to teach my younger sister maths and science, as well as help peer students struggling with chemistry and physics in grade 12.
During my studies at Imperial College London, I held various tutor/mentor roles which included working as a demonstrator for a workshop on some basics of coding using Python. During my PhD, I also acted as assistant supervisor for a BSc student doing her final year research project; I helped her plan some experiments, understand the data and analyse it. I also worked as mentor for students attending summer schools at Imperial College; these roles were mostly pastoral. More recently, I have worked as a private tutor in French and Chemistry for students in grades 7 and 11 at the French Lycée.
