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.

Key manuals for learning the syllabus:
Atkins & de Paula Elements of Physical Chemistry
P. Monk Physical Chemistry
Eremin V.V. Theoretical and Mathematical Chemistry

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.

My daughter enjoyed the class

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.

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.
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

My goal is to provide specific and structured knowledge and help increase self-confidence through the use of modern techniques for all ages and purposes. See you in my next class!

Nursiti
Chemistry, Physics, and Test Prep Tutoring for Grade 10 - 12
Chemistry and Physics are fun subjects. Here I want to teach my student how to understand these subjects and solve all the case related to both subjects. As we know, chemistry and physics are close to our life, in every single part of life these subjects are exist. Chemistry exist in our food, body, and every chemical things in our home. Physics is how to we understand all activities we do, such as run, walk, pull or push something, drive car, and so on. That's why these subject are interesting. We learn these subjects mean we learn all things in our life. In this class we will try understand the meaning, the reason, the formula and prepare to complete the assignment.

Aurélien
Swiss maths teacher expat helping students in Bangkok
Graduated from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) in mathematics, and with more than 15 years experience in private lessons with very good references, , I can help you math, physics, computer, economics for all levels, for intensive courses, exam preparation or private home teaching. I'm willing to teach foreign or thai students, from 11 years old to adults, in the following subjects: - mathematics (all subjects) - physics (up to second year of university) - economics: trading, general economics, financial math - computer science: basic algorithms, coding, how to use american software (microsoft office, adobe, google, facebook...) The class will be in English or French or Spanish because I don't speak or write Thai fluently. -------- I really like to know the student needs and expectations, and as I'm a qualified teacher, I can notice the level of the student quickly and how he/she can improve. I attach importance on punctuality and good communication at the beginning, maths is important in our society so to succeed the exam, we need to apply rigor and methodology during the classroom. -------- PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING :) :) :) For online class, I use skype or zoom, both are free of use, you just have to open an account and add me in your contacts. For class in your house or in my apartment, please consider to book minimum 3 days in advance and come on time or before such I welcome you nicely. In the eventuality of cancellation (or no show-up) of class, you will have to pay cancellation fee if you cancel within the 3 days period before the class starts. The apprentice website automatically manages payments, and the classes calendar.

Işık
Chemistry and Math for Middle and High School Students
In my classes, I first aim to teach the foundational principles of the subject before building upon them with practice. As a university lecturer, I have developed this habit through the years. As someone who still enjoys solving chemistry and math problems at the middle and high school levels, I find great satisfaction in helping younger ones to develop their skills in these subjects.

Prakhar
Classes in mathematics, biology and physics by a doctoral researcher
A strong foundation in understanding of basics of science is important to culture a lifelong interest. Without having fun studying science and maths during your schooldays, you cannot decide if you wish to pursue it in the future. This is where my belief lies. My course will tailor to your needs and requirements, and will aim to get good grades by not mugging concepts of science and maths, but by enjoying abd remembering them for life :) I will structure the course to your needs and requirements, and will maximise your output and interest! We can also work on immediate preparation needed for an upcoming examination!
