Support in exact subjects at every level of education (also for deepening out of interest) by a Ph.D in astrophysics.

From 51.8 £ /h

Creating a good foundation for the exact courses is useful for everyone. It is especially essential that the teacher is skilled and didactic in building the knowledge. I myself experienced that this was missing when I transferred from MBO level 2 to a Ph.D in physics at the University of Amsterdam.

I would like to make a difference and send you on your way with a dose of self-confidence to the wonderful world of mathematics, physics and astronomy. For all secondary school levels and higher education, I can guide you with a plan to increase your knowledge and get the best out of yourself for both tests, exams and exams and deepening out of interest.

Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.

51.8 £ /h

Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.

From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.

In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.

I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:

- Setup and planning

- Doing literature study

- Quality assurance

- Presentation and structure/content

- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts

- Review with a critical look

- Give layout and design input

- And much more

Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!

Facing problem in Physics? Does your teacher presume that you know every single basic concept and start teaching directly advanced concepts!!
Here is the solution. We'll be starting from the basic concepts and will be mastering over the advanced concepts gradually. You can simply tell for which topic you need more attention and time and which topics are your strengths (if any).

I am providing you a brief summary of our course which we generally follow but that doesn't mean that I am bound to just this much content. In case you have any doubt for any other specific topic related to the subject, you could always come up to me or you need any help in your assignments or projects, you are always welcome.

Here is a brief overview of the topics we'll be covering :

* Physical World and Measurement
* Kinematics
* Laws of Motion
* Work, Energy and Power
* Motion of system of Particles and Rigid Body
* Gravitation
* Properties of Bulk Matter
* Thermodynamics
* Behaviour of Perfect Gas and Kinetic Theory
* Oscillations and Waves
* Electrostatics
* Current Electricity
* Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism
* Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents
* Electromagnetic Waves
* Optics
* Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation
* Atoms and Nuclei
* Electronic Devices
* Communication systems

In case you have any query, please feel free to contact me.
Give yourself a chance for a better future.
All the best

I usually teach math and economics in English to students who want to become scientists. I help write a good paper. As long as Corona is there, it is possible via Teams, Zoom, or Skype, but in principle, the lessons in my building are within walking distance of the Central Station.

Mathematics is a challenging subject for many Secondary School students. However, with the right guidance and an appropriate amount of practice, the students will eventually be able to make sense of Math and become better at it. This will be my job, to guide the students to a point where they understand the Mathematical topics they learn at school and be able to solve their homework exercises and pass their tests.

-- Tutor For High School / IB and University Students --

I am a Maths and Physics Tutor with over 8 years of experience tutoring teenagers, students and young adults. After having received a bachelor in Aerospace Engineering and Philosophy & Mathematics, I am now doing research at the University of Cambridge in the field of AI. Because of this, I am only able to give online classes.

My teaching is based on a principles of compassion, understanding and personalisation. I believe that every student is different and that for every student a tailor-made approach is required to create the perfect lesson. After all, each of us retains information in a different way. For some, visual learning is crucial, while for others simply talking through the problem can be enough. That is why I use my five years of experience in tutoring to gauge what the student exactly needs and how the student can fully understand the problem. Not only does the student become better at the subject they're being tutored, but they also become a better problem solver in general. A skill which they can apply throughout their entire life.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

As a professionally qualified teacher of Physics and Mathematics, I can assist any student taking pre-University level courses and exams. I have been a specialist in teaching GCSE and A Level Physics at an international school in Amsterdam for around a decade and have a wealth of experience to help students achieve top grades in these courses.

Previous to this I lectured in Physics and Mathematics at a large UK college. I was also a private tutor in the UK for students aged between 8 and 21. I have been a professionally qualified teacher for 10 years (PGCE - UK teaching qualification)

I have a great deal of experience teaching students with a wide range of interests and talents and I am able to make students see the fun in learning the subjects I teach and push the value of being skilful in these fields. Many of my students have gone on to top Universities around the world and it makes me very proud to see my students develop and become passionate about Physics and Mathematics.

I can offer tuition towards specific courses (GCSE, A level, IB) or I can make a custom curricula which addresses any specific needs you feel you may have.
