About Me

I’m Valerian, a Chemistry BSc from TU/e. I help high-school and first-year university students master Chemistry, Calculus/Math, and high-school Physics.

My tutoring is clear and structured: I diagnose where understanding breaks down, rebuild concepts step by step, and coach problem-solving so students become confident and independent. I care about efficiency, calm progress, and real understanding—not rote memorization. Lessons are in English, online worldwide. If you want clarity and steady results, I’d be happy to help.

Outside of teaching I love dancing, debating, and cooking — things that keep me curious, communicative, and creative, qualities I bring to every lesson.

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.

IB Physics is one of the most technically demanding subjects at Diploma level. Success requires more than conceptual understanding — it requires structured exam execution.

This programme is designed for students aiming to move up grade boundaries through disciplined, examiner-aligned preparation.

Each student follows a structured performance cycle:

• Diagnostic assessment of current level
• Concept consolidation with precision
• Command term interpretation training
• Markscheme alignment and structured answer writing
• Timed past-paper simulation
• Error pattern analysis and refinement

Many capable students lose marks due to poor structure, misinterpreted command terms, or lack of exposure to examiner-style questions. These gaps are addressed directly.

Over the past year, students have improved by two to three grade boundaries within eight to ten weeks through targeted intervention and consistent practice.

Sessions are delivered online in a professional, interactive format and are suited to students preparing for mocks, final exams, or IA refinement.

Designed for serious students aiming for 6s and 7s.
