Passionate & empathetic teacher. I have a Master's in Physics with honors from the University of Leicester (which was featured at the time as a top 5 Physics university in the UK by The Guardian) and a - french - European School diploma in which I achieved 90% in Physics and 85% in Maths.

Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have 6 years of experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds both in a homework schools as well as via private teaching. In private teaching, I have experience tutoring people with learning disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia, Discalculia and more), younger kids of ages 7-12 and older students preparing for their final baccalaureate exams in advanced maths/physics curriculums.

In my classes, I aim to:

- help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths
- clearly explain and break down topics
- give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorization)
- help with ADHD & other learning disabilities
- give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life.

Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject!

Struggling with math, physics, or chemistry? You're not alone — these subjects are hard, and classroom explanations are rarely enough.
I offer personalized tutoring for middle school, high school, and early university students following the French Mission curriculum, the Moroccan national curriculum, or the international baccalaureate.
Topics covered:

Mathematics: algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, probability
Physics: mechanics, electricity, optics, thermodynamics
Chemistry: organic, inorganic, stoichiometry, reactions

My approach:
I don't re-explain the textbook — I identify exactly where your understanding breaks down and fix it from there. Each session is built around your specific difficulties, not a preset program.
I completed CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) in Mathematics and Physics before graduating as a State Engineer — I know these subjects at an advanced level and I know where students typically get lost.
Individual and small group sessions available. Online (worldwide) in French, Arabic, or English.

I am a Physics graduate from Universität Leipzig, currently pursuing my MSc in Physics. I grew up speaking English as my first language and have been teaching Physics and Maths for over five years to students at GCSE and A-Level. I enjoy breaking down complex topics into simple, logical steps and find it genuinely satisfying when a student finally understands something they have been struggling with. Outside of academics I am a sports coach, so I am used to adapting my approach to different people and skill levels.

Anatomy is the subject where you can study for hours and still go blank on exam day. The problem usually isn't effort. It's that the material was never made to stick.

I'm Hina, a final-year Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) candidate, and I tutor anatomy, physiology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and biology one-to-one. You send me your syllabus, lecture slides or notes before we meet, and I build each lesson from your own course material, so we cover exactly what your exam covers and nothing twice.

Every topic gets a memory hook: a short mnemonic or diagram you can still recall under pressure. I draw live during the lesson and test you out loud, so we find the gaps in the session, not in the exam hall.

One of my students, a medical student at the University of Milan, had failed six subjects, including anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology. After two months of lessons, she passed all six.

I teach students from school level (O Level, A Level, FSc, MDCAT) through MBBS and university health-science courses, in English or Urdu, whichever makes it click.

Start with a free 30-minute trial. Tell me what's going wrong and you'll leave with a study plan either way.

Federica

Hi, my name is Federica and I am an astrophysicist. I obtained my PhD from ETH Zürich and, for over ten years, I have been working in international research teams, contributing to space missions such as ESA Euclid and NASA Roman, and collaborating with scientists from all over the world.

For more than ten years, I have also been active in teaching, tutoring and science communication. In my teaching approach, I consider it essential to listen to the student, understand their needs, and identify the way they reason and learn best. This is key to creating a truly personalised learning path that motivates them to engage with the subject and gradually take on more advanced learning challenges.

I helped several students to strengthen the foundations, identify strategic points early, and progressively work towards more advanced problem-solving and exam preparation.

I do not believe in a standard “one-to-many” lesson, but rather in a learning path designed to genuinely consolidate the student’s knowledge, help them become progressively more independent, and make them aware of the practical and interdisciplinary applications that a particular subject can have in their academic journey.

I am fluent in Italian and English, and I am currently strengthening my knowledge of French. Thank you for your attention.
