Enthusiastic & Accessible Math & Science Tutor (PhD) in Amsterdam

From 68.32 C$ /h

Hi, reader! :)

I am probably one of the most enthusiastic and versatile tutors in Amsterdam!

I have been tutoring students for over 10 years at various levels, with a focus on middle and high school students. Many of my students have been preparing for exams such as IB, AP, A-level, and IGCSE.

I hold several relevant degrees, including a PhD and MSc in Financial Justice from the University of Amsterdam, as well as a BS and MS in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (an Ivy League institution).

While my main area of expertise is math (ranging from simple arithmetic to advanced university-level calculus), I have also assisted students in preparing for high school level Chemistry and Economics exams.

What sets me apart as a UNIQUE tutor, in addition to my extensive background, is my PERSONAL approach to tutoring. I customize my teaching methods to suit each individual student. This includes the way I present material, work through problems, structure our sessions, and provide tailored feedback to help the student thrive. Additionally, I provide all of my students with my personal phone number, allowing them to contact me OUTSIDE OF SCHEDULED HOURS at NO ADDITIONAL COST if they are struggling while studying on the nights leading up to exams!

For me, tutoring is not just about covering the material; it is about tailoring the learning experience so that students can develop the necessary tools to excel in their courses and eventually become self-sufficient, no longer needing a tutor. :)

Extra information

My standard approach is to guide students in finding the answers THEMSELVES rather than simply providing them with solutions. I typically take the time to ask students to carefully analyze and explain each step in a problem, as well as justify any assumptions made. By doing so, even if it takes us 60 minutes to work through a single problem, they will be fully equipped to tackle 50 more problems on their own without my assistance!

I have the curiosity and eagerness to learn. It gives me a natural ability to teach because I believe only a good student can be a good teacher. I have tutoring experience in the past.

I have completed my graduation in engineering. On the professional front, I am a banker. I moved to the Netherlands and am currently on a break. I would love to indulge in my passion for teaching.

I can teach school level Math and Science. My goal is to keep students challenged to learn new things. I will be tutoring whatever is required for the school syllabus along with extra information or facts to make learning fun. Test preparation and tutoring for exams can also be done.I cook Indian dishes on a regular basis and would love to teach Indian-style cooking to people who are interested.

Every student is different and I will take extra care to have tailor-made classes for each person. I create presentations, use assignments, and prepare before each class. Time is important and I do not want to waste yours.

You can message me regarding the classes or your needs. I will make sure to do my best.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

If you are struggling with a specific subject, we can look together at what you are good at and what we can best focus on during the sessions. A few subjects that I have coached students in in the past are: mathematics, business economics, economics, arithmetic, accounting/accountancy, cost accounting, managerial accounting, financial accounting, corporate finance, risk management and investments. I give tips on which information is most important, how you can best prepare for the subject, and how you can best read test questions. This method has proven to be very effective!

During my sessions I coach almost everyone! From pupils at the vmbo to (almost) graduates at the university, in all financial-economic subjects. Because of this I have developed a coaching structure that is effective, efficient, and fun.

During exam training I work with old exams with a focus on the latest developments in the field. In this way I ensure that students get a good grip on the exam material and enter the exams with confidence. During the training I teach the students how an exam is structured so that they feel familiar with the final exam.

Tutoring or homework support are designed in consultation. Some pupils or students benefit from doing assignments together, while others need more explanation of the theory.

Lesson: Electrochemistry
Duration: 60 minutes
Grade Level: Advanced Science / Chemistry (IGCSE, A Level, IB)
Main Objectives:
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
1. Define electrochemistry and explain its importance.
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
Cu2+/Cu: +0.34 V
Calculate the standard cell potential of a Daniell cell.
3. Application Question:
Describe one practical application of electrochemistry in everyday life and explain how it works.
