Oxford PAT (Physics Aptitude Test) Tuition - For November 2020 Test

From 48.85 C$ /h

The PAT is the examination sat by all high school students applying to study Physics at Oxford University.

The test is mostly Year 12 content (under the UK A Level system), but questions are significantly different to A Level exam papers, requiring greater understanding and critical thinking.

In these sessions, we will go through past PAT papers, and review frequently appearing content. I will set questions at the end of each session for you to complete before the next one, where we will discuss them and I will provide solutions.

About me: I am an Oxford BA Physics, and MMathPhys Theoretical Physics graduate, beginning a PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Sussex. I have experience in preparing students for the PAT, as well as A Level teaching more generally.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

The courses of Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology of the French or European French or English programs (Secondary or university levels) are given by explanations either in depth or by a rapid course and summary of essential need according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or by evaluations and exams from other high schools.
My experience is too long and for years, I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.

Chemistry is often taught as a series of facts to memorize, but at its heart, it's a beautiful and logical story about how the world works at the molecular level. As a master student of theoretical and computational chemistry, I don't just teach you what happens; I teach you the fundamental why.
This class is designed for students who want to truly understand chemistry, not just pass a test. Whether you're a high school student grappling with stoichiometry, an undergraduate diving into organic chemistry, or simply a curious mind wanting to understand the world around you, this course is for you. I believe that anyone can understand chemistry with the right guidance.
My goal is to be that guide. I'm here to help you, whether you're feeling lost in class, preparing for final exams, or starting a university course that feels overwhelming. I adapt to each student's unique needs and learning style.

I can help you master:
The Atom and Periodic Table: Understanding the building blocks.
Chemical Bonding: How and why atoms stick together.
Stoichiometry: Mastering mole calculations and chemical reactions.
Solutions and Concentration : Making sense of molarity and dilutions.
Acids, Bases, and pH : Demystifying protons and logarithms.
Thermodynamics and Kinetics: Understanding energy and reaction rates.

And more! Whether it's physical chemistry, organic chemistry, or inorganic chemistry, we can explore it together.
We'll work at your pace, fill in any gaps in your knowledge, and build your confidence step by step.

My goal is simple: to make math understandable in a clear and logical way. Many students think they are "bad at math," when they simply need different and structured explanations.

During my classes, we work on:

The fundamental basics (calculation, fractions, equations)
Algebra
Functions
Geometry
Trigonometry
Probability (school level)
Preparing for tests and exams

I adapt to each student's level and pace. I explain step by step and provide simple methods for solving exercises effectively.

The goal is not just to pass a test, but to truly understand the logic behind mathematics.
