I teach mathematics, physics and chemistry from elementary to high school: I put much more emphasis on methodology and confidence building. This makes it easier for students to approach the material.

I support students throughout the year with personalized follow-up for each student: methodology, exam preparations, optimization and time management.

Homework help, revisions, preparation of revision sheets, exam corrections, personalized advice.

Depending on the level, the difficulties and the needs of my students, I set up a program to assess their progress. Some need more lessons to consolidate the basics while others master the course and they need more practice exercises. Once the students have mastered the course and the application exercises, we work through specific tests, self-confidence and time management, making it easier to tackle exams in class.
I have students who were below average and who have become good at the subject; others who were good but lacked confidence and subsequently became excellent.

I am available immediately for regular or punctual courses.

Hello,
Previously a double degree student in computer science and mathematics at Sorbonne Paris Nord University (formerly Paris 13).
Student in applied mathematics engineering at ENSTA PARIS and ENSAE PARIS in double degree
I can give tutoring in mathematics so that in physics and chemistry, the main advantage of my classes is that they contain tips that improve the student's response to an exercise, a very good course that aims the essential without forgetting the important details, and a follow-up of the evolution of the student through the tests of progression and exercises since the exercises of application until the starry exercises.
Apart from my good teaching approach, I have great skills in mathematics and physics chemistry besides I am the first dz my class in mathematics in double license.
Through my private lessons I want not only to transmit my knowledge, but also the good methods and reflexes before tests or exercises.
Cordially.

🧪 IB Chemistry Apprentice Lesson Plan

Topic: The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Level: IB Year 1 (Apprentice)
Duration: 60 minutes

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

‣ Describe the electromagnetic spectrum and identify its different regions.
‣ Understand and apply the equation c = fλ.
‣ Differentiate between a continuous spectrum and a line spectrum.
‣ Explain the concept of quantized energy in atoms.

Lesson Outline

Introduction (0–5 minutes)
Start the lesson by asking students a few engaging questions:
What are some examples of invisible light or radiation around us?
Why do we wear sunscreen?

Allow brief responses, then explain that all of these examples are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which we will study today.

Teaching Phase 1 – Overview of the Electromagnetic Spectrum (5–15 minutes)
Introduce the electromagnetic spectrum. Explain that it is a range of all electromagnetic waves, which vary by frequency and wavelength. Emphasize that all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum – the speed of light, c = 3.00 × 108 m/s.
Key formula to introduce: c = fλ, where:
c = speed of light
f = frequency (Hz)
λ = wavelength (m)

Point out that high-frequency waves have short wavelengths and higher energy (like gamma rays), while low-frequency waves have long wavelengths and lower energy (like radio waves). Display a spectrum diagram showing the range from radio to gamma rays, with visible light in the center.

Teaching Phase 2 – Spectrum Types: Continuous vs. Line Spectrum (15–25 minutes)
Explain the difference between continuous and line spectra.

A continuous spectrum** contains all wavelengths in a range, like a rainbow produced when white light passes through a prism.
A line spectrum** shows only specific wavelengths or frequencies. This happens when excited electrons fall back to lower energy levels and release photons of specific energies.
Explain that energy is **quantized**—electrons cannot have just any amount of energy; only specific values are allowed. Use the helium line spectrum image as an example.

Real-World Examples and Class Discussion (35–45 minutes)
Give students three practical examples and discuss their uses:

1. Microwaves – Used in cooking and communications.
2. Ultraviolet (UV) rays – Cause sunburn; used in sterilizing equipment.
3. Gamma rays– Used in cancer treatment and in detecting radioactive materials.

Ask students:
Where do you see or use electromagnetic waves in your daily life?
Encourage short contributions to reinforce understanding.

Student Exercises (45–55 minutes)
Have students complete these three questions individually:

1. A wave has a frequency of 6.0 × 1014 Hz. Calculate its wavelength using c = 3.00 × 108 m/s.
2. Explain the difference between a continuous and line spectrum, with an example of each.
3. Why are gamma rays more dangerous to humans than radio waves?

Wrap-Up and Recap (55–60 minutes)
Call on a few students to briefly summarize one key thing they learned.

2. Describe the difference between electrolytic and galvanic (voltaic) cells.
3. Write half-reactions and overall cell reactions.
4. Calculate standard electrode potentials and predict the direction of electron flow.
5. Understand practical applications of electrochemistry in everyday life.

Lesson Outline / Brief Notes:

1. Introduction to Electrochemistry (10 minutes)
Definition: Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity.
Key Concept: Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons.
Real-life example: Batteries, electroplating, corrosion prevention.
2. Galvanic (Voltaic) Cells (15 minutes)
Composed of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge.
Oxidation occurs at the anode, reduction at the cathode.
Example: Daniell cell
Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s)
Oxidation: Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−
Reduction: Cu2+ + 2e− → Cu
3. Electrolytic Cells (10 minutes)
Require an external power source to drive non-spontaneous reactions.
Example: Electrolysis of molten NaCl
At cathode: Na+ + e− → Na
At anode: 2Cl− → Cl2 + 2e-
4. Standard Electrode Potentials (10 minutes)
Electrode potential measures the tendency of a species to be reduced.
Example:
Zn2+/Zn: -0.76 V
Cu2+/Cu: +0.34 V
Predict electron flow: Electrons flow from Zn to Cu in a Daniell cell.
5. Applications of Electrochemistry (5 minutes)
Batteries (Li-ion, lead-acid)
Electroplating (silver plating, chromium plating)
Corrosion protection (galvanization)
Exercise (10 minutes)
1. Short Answer Questions:
a. Define electrochemistry.
b. Identify the anode and cathode in a zinc-copper galvanic cell.
c. Explain the difference between galvanic and electrolytic cells.
2. Calculation:
Given:
Zn2+/Zn: -0.76 V
