IGCSE, ICSE & CBSE Chemistry and Physics (Grades 7-10) with Exam Technique

From 20 £ /h

I am a Postgraduate Teacher of Chemistry and Physics with over ten years in the classroom. I currently teach ICSE Grades 8 and 9 at an international school in Gurugram, and before that spent nine years teaching CBSE Grades 9 and 10.

In 2022 I served as a CBSE Assistant Head Examiner for Class X Science. I have marked board scripts against the official marking scheme, so I know precisely where students lose marks on answers they think are correct. Very little of what I teach is guesswork about what examiners want.

Results my students have achieved:
- 100% board pass rate across every batch I have taught
- Between 50 and 80 students per batch scoring above 95 marks
- Multiple perfect scores of 100/100 in Science

WHAT I TEACH
Chemistry and Physics for Grades 7 to 10, across CBSE, ICSE and IGCSE. The full foundation years: atomic structure, bonding, the periodic table, acids bases and salts, stoichiometry and organic basics; motion, force, work and energy, light, sound, electricity and magnetism. I also prepare students specifically for board and IGCSE papers, including Paper 2, 4 and 6 technique.

HOW MY CLASSES WORK
Every session starts from where you actually are, not from where the syllabus says you should be. I diagnose the gap, teach the concept properly, then drill it with past-paper questions so the understanding survives contact with a real exam.

I teach on a digital whiteboard with a pen tablet, so you get clean worked solutions and diagrams, and I share the notes after every class. Between sessions I set targeted practice and mark it the way a board examiner would, with the marks broken down so you can see exactly what earned credit.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Students moving from a middling grade to a top one, students who find Chemistry abstract and want it to finally make sense, and board or IGCSE candidates who need their answer-writing sharpened rather than just more content.

I also run my own online academy, Nexus Minds Academy, and have taught online for WhiteHat Jr, so these are properly designed live online lessons, not a classroom lesson pointed at a webcam.

First class: tell me your board, your grade and the topic you are struggling with most, and I will build the session around it.

Extra information

Please have your textbook, notebook and a calculator at hand. If you have a recent test paper, worksheet or marked answer script, send it to me before the session and I will build the lesson around the specific gaps it shows

About Me

I have taught Chemistry and Physics for over ten years, and what still holds my attention is the moment a student stops memorising and starts reasoning. Chemistry is the subject most students try to survive by learning things by heart, and the one where that fails hardest. My job is usually to undo that habit before I teach anything new.

In 2022 I worked as a CBSE Assistant Head Examiner for Class X Science, marking board scripts against the official scheme. That year changed how I teach. I read hundreds of answers from students who clearly understood the concept and still lost marks, because they wrote loosely, skipped a step, or answered a slightly different question from the one asked. So I teach the science properly, then I teach how to write it down, which is a separate skill almost nobody is taught explicitly.

I am patient with confusion and firm about precision. Tell me you did not understand something for the third time and I will find a fourth way to explain it. What I will not do is let a vague answer pass as a correct one, because an examiner will not either.

The students I enjoy most are the ones who ask "but why does that happen", and the ones who have decided they are bad at science. That second group usually is not. They were taught science as a list of facts to accept rather than ideas that follow from each other, and that is fixable.

I teach live online with a digital whiteboard and pen tablet, share worked notes after every session, and mark practice the way a board examiner would, so you can see exactly what earned credit.

Swiss-Focused Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry Tutoring – Passerelle, BMS, Berufsmaturität, Matura, Fachmaturität, QV & Adult Education

This class is designed for students and adult learners in Switzerland who want serious, structured and exam-focused support in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The main focus is preparation for Passerelle, BMS, Berufsmaturität, Matura, Fachmaturität and QV/final apprenticeship exams, as well as support for learners in adult education who are returning to study, changing career direction or preparing for a new academic path.

What makes my tutoring different is the strong connection to the Swiss education system. I completed my master’s degree at a University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland and have many years of experience teaching students in Switzerland. This means my lessons are not generic international tutoring. They are built around Swiss school expectations, Swiss exam styles, Swiss curricula and the specific challenges faced by learners in Switzerland.

➜ Special focus on Passerelle preparation
The Passerelle is one of the most demanding Swiss pathways because it requires strong discipline, independent thinking and solid exam technique. I help students prepare systematically in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry by working through the required theory, typical task types, old exams and exam-style practice.

➜ BMS and Berufsmaturität support
For BMS and Berufsmaturität students, I provide structured help in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, depending on the programme and exam requirements. We focus on building strong foundations, closing gaps and applying methods correctly in exam situations.

➜ Matura and Fachmaturität preparation
I support students preparing for Matura and Fachmaturität exams with clear explanations, relevant exercises and a structured learning plan. The lessons help students understand difficult topics, organize their knowledge and gain confidence before important assessments.

➜ QV / final apprenticeship exam preparation
Many vocational students need Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry for their QV/final apprenticeship exams, especially in technical, scientific, laboratory, healthcare or engineering-related fields. I help students connect theory with practical calculations and exam-style tasks.

➜ Adult education and returning learners
I also work with adult learners who are returning to education after a break, preparing for Passerelle, Berufsmaturität, Fachmaturität, QV or further studies. Adult learners often need a clear, respectful and efficient teaching style. I explain from the foundation upward, without judgment, and help rebuild confidence step by step.

➜ Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taught with equal seriousness
The focus is not only Mathematics. Physics and Chemistry are also important, especially for Passerelle, Matura, Fachmaturität, technical BMS directions, QV exams and later studies. I explain formulas, concepts and calculations clearly so students understand the logic behind the subject.

➜ Old exams and Swiss-style practice
Where suitable, I use old exams, typical Swiss exam questions and realistic practice material. Students learn how questions are asked, how to recognize the correct method, how to structure their solutions and how to avoid common mistakes.

➜ Clear step-by-step method
Every task is approached with a simple structure: What is given? What is required? Which formula, law or method is suitable? Why does it apply? Then we solve the task step by step with all formulas, calculations and explanations.

➜ Why choose a Swiss-focused tutor?
Many tutors may know Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, but Swiss exams often have their own wording, structure and expectations. Because I studied in Switzerland and have taught Swiss students for years, I can prepare learners in a much more targeted and relevant way.

➜ For serious students who want real progress
This class is ideal for students and adult learners who want to pass an important exam, improve their grades, close knowledge gaps, prepare for further studies or gain more confidence in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

➜ Success-oriented preparation
My goal is to help students build real understanding, not just short-term memorization. With clear explanations, structured practice, old exam material and consistent preparation, students can develop the confidence and exam technique needed to perform at their best.

Additional materials + practice qs | Lesson plans + regular feedback | Recording + session notes available

A common theme running through our lessons will be to simplify - even topics like electromagnetic induction can be reduced to small bits :)

Together, we'll:
1. Find learning gaps
2. Break concepts into small bits
3. Apply to real world and exam questions
4. Work on exam technique - like the difference between "explain" and "describe" questions
5. Build mark-scheme friendly language

“It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer”
- Albert Einstein, while studying superposition of waves, I’m sure :)
