Tutoring for Cambridge Sciences - GCSE - Chemistry, Combined Sciences and Physics

Tutoring for Cambridge International Examinations.

In person or via Zoom, the tutoring can be delivered on a regular basis or as an unique act.

Going through the sylabus, doing exercises proposed in the topic book, answering to paper questions, whatching videos that explain the topic, everything in a relaxed environment that invites students to share their knowledge and also their doubts.

Tutoring process can be very rewarding when students see their self-esteem increasing because they have someone that can help them navigate alongside the studying .

Rafael
Excel, Math, physics, Calculus, Civil Engineer, Math is life, and life is good.
Math is life, and life is good. Hello everyone! My name is Rafael. I have been teaching online and locally for over two years and I really enjoy it! I'm currently studying for my Ph.D. If you are a parent who reads my profile, I do my best to make math enjoyable for students. It is a very difficult subject and sometimes students just need a boost of confidence and learn the basics. On the other hand, I like to encourage students who do well on their own. I like to challenge students and push their limits so that they become really strong mathematicians. If you are a student reading my profile, know that I can really help you learn your math well and enjoy doing it! There are many different ways to explain any topic; my goal will be to make you comfortable with your skills. That's all I have for you :) Have a wonderful day!

Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVT
The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss maturity program and gymnasium or French programs are done by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools. Special program for Matura and Terminales. As well as for (students in international and European Schools in English, they can have support in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology). For the start of the academic year in Switzerland, support courses for EPSU and ECUS exams. For the first university year, support courses in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology. My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students. I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects. Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

Jan
Mathematics and physics lessons for secondary and higher education
I have a PhD in physics. I have several years of experience at various tutoring agencies. I always start by going over the theory, after which I work out a number of exercises together with the student. Afterwards I let the student do exercises themselves and correct where necessary. That is where they learn the most. It is important to gain insight into the subject matter

Mathematics and physics are foundational disciplines that form the backbone of both theoretical understanding and practical applications in science and technology. Mastery of these subjects is essential for advancing knowledge in the natural sciences, engineering, and numerous applied fields. I offer comprehensive lessons in a wide range of topics, including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, electromagnetism, special relativity, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, quantum computing, and quantum technologies. Additionally, I cover mathematical disciplines such as algebra, geometry, and mathematical analysis. Each lesson is carefully tailored to match the student's prior knowledge and learning goals, ensuring a personalized and effective educational experience.

Roland
Math/Calculus/Physics Tutoring for secondary/high school and university students
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.

Nitesh
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics for School Students
In my class, I would like to help my students with the necessary tutoring and proper direction towards understanding natural science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for students at IB level, high school level, and school level. I am familiar with the European School system, International School System, and A-level. I myself was among the top 3s during my high school days and since then I have a great experience tutoring. I would look into problems from the student's point of view. This enables me to know where they are having difficulty and then help them study nicely.
