I offer personalized university-level support in Advanced Physics, Optics, and Photonics for undergraduate, Master's, and engineering students. Lessons are adapted to the student's academic program, level, objectives, and specific difficulties, whether the goal is to better understand a course, solve exercises and problems, prepare for exams, or explore an advanced topic in greater depth.

Depending on the student's curriculum and needs, lessons can cover:

¤ Advanced Physics — classical mechanics, electromagnetism, waves and vibrations, thermodynamics, statistical physics, quantum physics, atomic physics, solid-state physics, and materials science
¤ Optics — geometrical optics, physical optics, interference, diffraction, polarization, Fourier optics, electromagnetic waves, spectroscopy, and optical instrumentation
¤ Photonics — lasers, optical fibers, optical communications, photodetection, electro-optic modulation, nonlinear optics, optical metrology, and free-space optical systems

My approach focuses on developing a deep understanding of the physical principles behind equations and models rather than simply applying formulas. I help students connect mathematical formalism with physical intuition, analyze unfamiliar problems, identify the appropriate methods, and construct solutions logically step by step.

I hold a PhD in Physics, with a specialization in optics, photonics, optical metrology, and space applications. My doctoral research at Université Côte d'Azur and the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, through a research program co-funded by CNES, focused on the development and experimental validation of a 10 Gb/s free-space optical system over a 5 km atmospheric link.

My academic and research experience allows me to combine theoretical explanations with concrete examples from experimental physics, optical instrumentation, laser systems, telecommunications, and scientific research.

About Me
I hold a PhD in Physics and have an international academic background spanning Lebanon and France. I began my studies in Physics at the Lebanese University, Lebanon’s leading public university, before pursuing a Master’s degree in Applied and Engineering Physics, specializing in Photonics and Optics, at the University of Lorraine and the engineering school CentraleSupélec in Metz. I then completed my PhD at Université Côte d’Azur, within the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, through a research program co-funded by CNES, the French Space Agency.
My doctoral research focused on space optics, space geodesy, optical metrology, photonics, and laser communications, including the development and experimental validation of a 10 Gb/s free-space optical system over a 5 km atmospheric link.

Learning science is about much more than memorizing formulas, definitions, or finding the right answer to an exercise. It is a way of learning how to think: how to approach an unfamiliar problem, identify what really matters, question assumptions, connect different ideas, and construct a solution logically, step by step. My goal is not only to help students understand their courses and achieve better academic results, but also to sharpen their reasoning, stimulate their curiosity, build confidence in their own abilities, and become more independent learners and problem-solvers. These skills extend far beyond the classroom and can shape the way we analyze situations, make decisions, and approach challenges throughout life.

I offer personalized support in Physics and Mathematics, from secondary school to university level, as well as in Chemistry and Biology at secondary and high-school level. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s needs, objectives, pace, and way of learning, whether the goal is to strengthen fundamental concepts, overcome specific difficulties, prepare for an exam, or explore a subject in greater depth.
For university and engineering students, I also offer specialized support across a broad range of scientific fields:

¤ Advanced Physics — mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, and materials science
¤ Optics & Photonics — lasers, electromagnetism, waves, spectroscopy, and optical metrology
¤ Astrophysics & Space Science
¤ Mathematics
¤ Statistics & Probability
¤ Data Analysis
¤ General Chemistry
¤ Signal Processing
¤ Scientific Computing — MATLAB and Python

Dedicated classes covering these different areas are available on my profile.
Lessons can be provided in English or French, with explanations in Arabic when helpful.

I offer personalized academic support in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for secondary and high-school students. Whether the goal is to strengthen fundamental concepts, overcome specific difficulties, improve problem-solving skills, prepare for tests and exams, or simply gain confidence in a subject, each lesson is adapted to the student's curriculum, level, objectives, and learning pace.

Learning science is about much more than memorizing formulas, definitions, and procedures. My approach focuses first on understanding: identifying what really matters, connecting different concepts, developing logical reasoning, and learning how to approach a problem step by step. The objective is not only to improve academic results, but also to help students become more confident, curious, and independent learners.

Depending on the student's level and curriculum, I can provide support in:

¤ Mathematics — algebra, equations and inequalities, functions, sequences, geometry, trigonometry, vectors, limits, derivatives, integrals, probability and statistics
¤ Physics — mechanics, motion and forces, energy, electricity, electromagnetism, waves, optics, thermodynamics, atomic and modern physics
¤ Chemistry — atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, solutions and concentrations, acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, thermochemistry, kinetics and introductory organic chemistry
¤ Biology — cell biology, genetics and DNA, molecular biology, human physiology, reproduction, evolution, ecology and basic biochemistry

I hold a PhD in Physics and have a broad academic background in physics, mathematics, applied sciences, and experimental research. My scientific training allows me to connect concepts across different subjects and, whenever useful, relate what students learn in class to concrete examples, experiments, technology, and real scientific applications.

Lessons are adapted to the student's own school program and materials and can be provided in English or French, with explanations in Arabic whenever helpful.

I offer personalized support in Mathematics, Science, and schoolwork for students from 7 to 17 years old. The lessons are adapted to each student's age, school level, curriculum, learning pace, and individual needs.

The course can be used for regular academic support, homework assistance, strengthening fundamental concepts, overcoming specific difficulties, preparing for tests, or simply helping students become more confident and independent in their studies.

Depending on the student's age and school level, lessons can include:

¤ Mathematics — arithmetic, fractions, percentages, geometry, algebra, equations, functions, trigonometry, probability, statistics, and problem-solving
¤ Science — general science, matter and energy, basic physics and chemistry, biology, the human body, the environment, and other topics according to the student's school curriculum
¤ Homework & School Support — understanding lessons, completing exercises, reviewing difficult concepts, preparing for tests, and developing effective methods for approaching schoolwork

My teaching approach evolves with the student's age. For younger students, I focus on making mathematics and science intuitive and engaging through clear explanations, concrete examples, and curiosity. As students progress, I gradually introduce more structured reasoning, problem-solving methods, and independent thinking.

The objective is not simply to complete homework or memorize information, but to help students understand what they are learning, develop stronger reasoning skills, gain confidence, and gradually become more independent.

I hold a PhD in Physics and have a broad academic background in mathematics, physics, and experimental sciences. I adapt each lesson to the student's actual school program rather than following a fixed course.

Lessons can be provided in English or French, with explanations in Arabic whenever helpful.
