I have a Masters Degree in Physics specializing in Particle Physics. I have spent the last 3 years tutoring students who were and are currently studying their Bachelors in Physics.
Learning physics requires you to think outside the box and under my guidance, you can expect the classes to be focused on not only improving your problem solving capabilities but also learn the theory in a very imaginative way to make you love the subject rather than just learn it. It is expected that my students have a good understanding of standard Mathematics for the Physics classes to be more effective. Thank you for coming across my profile and hopefully you will find it worthwhile.
Regards
Dip
