Physics and Math (high school, gymnasium, university exams)

From 201 C$ /h

I am a PhD physicist and teacher known for being able to explain the most complex topics in the simplest way, from Newton's laws to the high-school student, to quantum physics to the university student.

Teaching focus:
- Fundamental theory: most difficulty in solving exam problems does not come from the complexity of the problem but from the student not being comfortable with the theory.
- Problem solving: breaking a question down into its simplest parts, visualising the physics involved.

Format:
- Lessons at my home where I have a whiteboard and desk set up for teaching
- Online via Google meet
- Lessons at the student home (depending on distance, possible surcharge)

Exams: Any pre-university examination, including Matura, PAM, IB, A-levels. The type of exam is not as important as the topics being studied.

What students say:
- "I had to repeat the first semester of medical school because of physics, and after working with Ralph, physics actually became one of my best subjects. He explained the theory incredibly clearly and went through the exercises step by step. I could ask questions at any time, and I was also able to decide what pace we wanted to work at during our lessons." (Helena, UZH student)

Personal accomplishments:
- Gold medalist at the International Astronomy Olympiad (Beijing 2005)
- Lecturer at ETH Zurich 2020-2024
- Phd in Theoretical Physics, University of Bristol
- B.Tech. in Engineering Physics, IIT Bombay

About Me

As a student, researcher and teacher of physics, the two most incredible feelings I have experienced are:
1. when I understand something for the first time, and
2. when I get another person to understand it too.

There is nothing better than watching someone make that mental step from curious to enlightened, and no higher feeling of accomplishment than knowing it was your explanation that led them there.

Math and physics are especially significant subjects because they rely not on rote memorisation but logical reasoning, a skill that extends to all facets of life. I'm not teaching what to think, I'm teaching how to think, which is far more interesting — and important!

Above all, doing physics and math has been a source of joy all of my life, and I'd really like it to be that for everyone. If taught well, I believe it can be.

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.

Have you been staring at the equations that the teachers write as if you were looking at hieroglyphs on the wall? Do you feel stuck when you are confronted by your exercises, not a single idea coming to mind? My name is Bastien, I studied Physics for my Bachelor's at EPFL and a Master's in Quantum Engineering at ETH. During my studies, I was a Teaching Assistant for classes in Electromagnetism, Fluid Dynamics, Analysis, and Special Relativity. I also gave private lessons to students in need before their exams. Through these experiences, I discovered that no matter your level we all tend to get stuck in front of math equations at one point or another. We get lost in the details and seem to be unable to see the big picture, to understand where all of this is going, and why any of it is useful at all.

In these classes, I want to help you deal with these issues. It doesn't matter if you are in middle school, high school, or starting your Bachelor's. The goal of these classes is to help you cultivate the skills needed not only to improve your grades but also to be a better problem solver. I will help you develop your passion and curiosity for mathematics. The passion that you maybe never knew you had! We will look at mathematics not as a monolithic entity but as a language. Ultimately, mathematical excellence can be decomposed into four primary skills: memory, patience, curiosity, and creativity. During this class, we will:

🟢 Assess in which areas you are struggling

🟢 Come up with a plan tailored to your needs

🟢 Fill in the gaps in your understanding

🟢 Stay up to date with the content of your classes

Mathematics in the end is not about the mathematics themselves. It is about the problems they allow us to solve and the language they give us to confront them.

If you have any questions about this class, my availability, or pricing, please don't hesitate to contact me. Click the blue "Contact Bastien" button above and let's discuss!
