Private Tutoring in Physics, Chemistry, and Python Programming for University and High School Students

Van 33.29 $ /h

I assist with learning university and high school level physics, chemistry, and programming across a range of topics, leveraging my 6 years of university teaching experience to ensure you understand the core of the concepts. I believe in an approach that focuses on ensuring you understand not just what the answer to a problem is but also why it is correct and how to get to it.

Physics topics include: special and general relativity, atomic physics, linear and rotational kinematics, optics, and electro-magnetics
Chemistry topics include: organic and inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and materials science
Programming is taught in Python and includes functional and objective programming as well as runtime analysis

All of the topics available with me are topics I have already tutored or taught as a lecturer at first, second, or third year university levels.

I am a teacher who believes in lead by example tutoring. I start with a question from the student - perhaps a problem in their textbook, or perhaps a general question of concepts - and then using this I use examples to extend the breadth and depth of the concept and their understanding. This means preparation of material on my side beforehand to ensure I understand what the student needs and to ensure I am prepared with multiple techniques to provide explanation.
No student learns the same and I appreciate when a student informs me that they aren't quite following what I'm saying. This is a crucial part of the discussion that needs to take place in learning, because at the core of all learning is when we ask questions and figure out for ourselves how we understand things. This often results in an "aha!" moment of clarity when a concept clicks with a student and it is these moments that make my job worth it. These moments may take a while to arrive at and I take no issue with that. Sometimes it takes time for our brains to think through ideas and learn, and I myself am no stranger to the benefit that time can have on learning new concepts. Even when students understand the concepts, I appreciate and encourage them to ask questions, as it helps reinforce their own learning and knowledge of concepts.

Opleiding

I have a Masters of Applied Sciences in Computational Materials Science from the University of Toronto and a Bachelors of Science in Materials Science from the University of Waterloo, where I graduated with Dean's Graduation Honours.

Leservaring

I began teaching at the university level in just the second year of my undergraduate degree due to my strong intellect and people skills. I started as a teaching assistant in chemistry and then quickly moved into physics and computer science. I eventually assisted with course delivery full-time during 2 work placements in my undergraduate degree, where I prepared and delivered lectures and tutorials, as well as developed and graded exams.

Across my degrees I taught 6 distinct university courses, with many of them taught multiple times. My return to teach some courses a second time stands as a testament to my skill at teaching. On multiple occasions I was nominated for, and on one occasion I received, an award for my excellence as a teaching assistant.

I am specialized (>5 years of experience) in tutoring math for school (any level, but preferably higher level), including competitive exams such as the SAT, GRE, GMAT, and the IIT-JEE.

This class is aimed to train
1) high-school students undergoing VWO or an IB curriculum, who are having problems following math at school or university,
2) Anyone who wishes to take the VWO Math-A/B/C entrance examinations by Boswell or CCVX and wants to train for that.

Personally, I am currently working as a Quantitative Researcher of stock markets, and therefore analytical math is also a part of my job.

The classes could be rigorous or lenient depending on the student. There will be periodic homework and I'll make sure that the student achieves her/his desired goals.

Your child has difficulty with math, physics, chemistry or natural sciences. It cannot process the subject matter and you want to do something about it.

As a teacher (engineer with a certificate of pedagogical competence), I have been teaching mathematics, physics, chemistry and natural sciences in secondary education for 25 years.
I am an independent teacher in secondary occupation and recognized by the Flemish Community.
Because of my experience and empathy I can make the abstract terminology and exercises that your child does not understand anything understandable.

I tutor students from secondary education to higher education students. From Pythagoras to quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, ... Everything is possible!

Students preparing for the examination board often experience problems in the subjects of mathematics, chemistry or physics. Through intensive guidance I can greatly increase the chances of success. I have a lot of experience with the online course of "Inzicht", Geogebra, interpreting subject sheets, ... The tutoring can take place both on weekdays and in the weekend.

Students with dyscalculia are remedied by practicing the subject matter, using tips, mnemonics and a lot of patience. Experience shows that the way of mathematical thinking in dyscalculia is different and therefore requires a more structured, step-by-step approach.

References are available.

The tutoring sessions are given online every day via Zoom. Zoom has a handy online board where we can write at the same time. It is as if we are sitting next to each other and writing on the same sheet of paper.
If you would like tutoring, please download the Zoom app and send me the email address you linked to it.

As an engineer, I would like to help other students navigate the sometimes complex world of mathematics and physics. During my studies, I tutored for 6 years in secondary schools in the region of The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam and Antwerp. I try to go through the course material interactively with the student and link theoretical concepts as much as possible to examples from our daily lives in order to prepare and motivate the student.

So if you would like tutoring on one or more subjects in mathematics or physics, you can contact me.

I tutor students from primary and secondary education to higher education. From multiplication tables to quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, limits, derivatives, integrals,... Everything is possible!

Math, calculus and physics can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when the theory or solving method is unclear. I am a cum laude Aerospace Engineering graduate from TU Delft and have helped other pupils with their problems since 2017. With my calm and stepwise explanation, a second view of the solution procedure is given, which is often what is missing. I tutor a variety of math and physics courses on both secondary and high school levels, but also at a scientific bachelor level. These can either be theory/exercise-based, but also exam preparation.

My lessons are aimed at teaching a method that can allow student's autonomy in using Max/MSP programming language and the Gen/Gen~ environment. The neophyte can benefit from a practical method, which focuses on the constant exchange between theory and practice; the advanced student will benefit from the refinements of their practice in patch design.
Ideally, the student will be able to be independent in some months.

Students can expect partial covering of DSP topics for music. If needed, a specific lesson can be requested.
Students are invited to present their works and patches, and can expect to discuss them in detail.

Students are expected to be present for each scheduled class, not late, and to avoid a rude or disrespectful beahviour.

DISCLAIMER

I am learning Dutch as for September 2024. As you can understand, I am not able to sustain a lesson in Dutch. So, for the moment, only in English or Italian...
