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 25 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish and Danish.
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

Moscow State University, Department of Chemistry (6-year Chemistry major, specialising in radiochemistry, my thesis looks at the potential uses of radiation to pre-treat lignin for biorefinery uses)

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching physical chemistry to advanced pupils for 3 years, and 5 of my pupils have won the Russian Chemical Olympiad in 2021 and 2022, amongst other regional Olympiads.

Excellent teacher
Eine wunderbare Einführung in die Sprache.
Très bonne introduction à la langue latine avec de très bons exemples et une plongée immédiate dans la langue vivante. Je me réjouis de poursuivre.
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.

Private lessons in math, physics-chemistry and science.
Give your child the future he deserves. Do you want to significantly increase your child's average? Do you want it to become autonomous? For 2 years, I have helped more than 10 students in difficulty from college (sixth, fifth, fourth, third) and high school (second, first, terminal) to achieve their goals (good average, baccalaureate,) and to regain confidence in them. I am a student at INSAT. I had my scientific baccalaureate with an average of 16 so there is no need to worry;). I offer support courses in (physics, chemistry, math, science), each course is adapted according to the level of the student. My method in 3 points: - short term: significantly increase the average by assimilating the course and preparing for the next tests (assimilating the course, training in standard exercises, anticipating the teacher's expectations and test questions) - medium term: integrate reasoning and work methods assimilation, training exercise) - long-term: set a goal, build the steps to achieve this goal, become aware, have confidence in your abilities, unlock your potential) My greatest reward is to see my students progress, overcome difficulties and flourish throughout the school year, so do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. I wish you very good luck in your research. Cordially.

Dillan
Knowledgeable A-Level & GCSE Science Tutor / Medical Student
Hello! I am Dillan and I am 19 years old. I have completed my A-Levels and GCSEs and studied at a top grammar school in the UK, and I am currently a Medical student. I am a keen and enthusiastic tutor with experience. I have a few years of tutoring experience. I have taught many students subjects such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science. I have had students initially reach level 5 in specific issues, and through hard work and some guidance, they reached level 9 as their final GCSE grade. My teaching style is interactive whiteboard lessons; I use my iPad to annotate and write notes on the virtual whiteboard. My primary focus is to allow the students to understand the material through annotated diagrams. To ensure engagement throughout the lessons, students will be asked different questions, such as why something behaves this way or why this is the answer. I do not just aim for the students to memorise the material but instead to understand the material at hand. From the very beginning, exam questions will be used. I use exam questions from the beginning to help students understand how the mark scheme is structured. Starting exam questions early allows students to practice and perfect their exam technique for the most excellent chance of success in the actual exams. The subjects I offer are: Chemistry: KS3, GCSE and A-Level Physics: KS3, GCSE Biology: KS3, GCSE and A-Level Maths: KS3, GCSE English: KS3, GCSE Computer Science: KS3, GCSE and A-Level Economics: GCSE Medical School Tutoring: Personal Statement advice, UCAT, BMAT & Medical Interviews Python: Beginner and Intermediate lessons

Bastien
Graduate teacher teaches Mathematics, Physics, Finance, many years of experience.
I prefer to know the student and the long-term follow-up for more efficiency, I also give exam preparation courses but it is more difficult for me to help a student that I do not know well. The courses are based on the student's ability to understand his exercises, if his level does not allow him to have at least 5/6 of general average, then I do a thorough work on the theory on everything I teach: - maths: everything up to first year UNI in maths, economics, medicine, other sciences - physics: everything up to third year of college (Geneva system therefore equivalent to terminale in France) - eco: financial maths, techniques of gains and investment in the stock market I can come to the student's home or also take the course via Skype. Courses can be given in French, English or Spanish.
