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.

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.

Mavi
Math, Physics and Science tutoring for children and teenagers: IB MYP, IGCSE, and GCSE.
I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company. I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 9 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools. Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments. As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!

Tamanna
Basic maths , chemistry ,english for school going students.
Mathematics explores the language of numbers, shapes, and patterns, teaching problem-solving skills and logical reasoning. Students delve into algebra, calculus, geometry, and statistics, mastering techniques to tackle real-world challenges. Chemistry investigates the composition, properties, and transformations of matter, unraveling the mysteries of atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions. Through experiments and theory, students understand chemical principles, bonding, and the periodic table, applying knowledge in fields like medicine and environmental science. English language and literature classes foster communication proficiency and critical thinking. Students analyze literature to discern themes, characters, and literary devices, while honing grammar and vocabulary for effective expression. They refine reading, writing, and speaking skills, preparing to communicate fluently and persuasively in written and spoken English contexts. Together, these subjects empower students with essential knowledge and skills to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex world. You will learn basic learning skills and have a good understanding

Sachin
Chemistry (in English) for High School and College Students
With over 12 years of experience in chemistry, I am currently a final year Ph.D. student at Charles University in Prague and doing research at Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry at Czech Academy of Sciences. As a part of this course, I take responsibility to make sure that the most elemental form of chemistry is understood by the student in the easiest way using examples from daily life. Chemistry is all around us. We as part of nature are made of chemicals in one form or other. Therefore, none of us can live without a knowledge in Chemistry. Since everything happening around us in the universe is because of one or the other form of a chemical reaction (slow or fast), the reason behind them are to be truly revealed before understanding what is happening e.g. in our kitchen while cooking food or while drinking cola or juice.
