Experience Physics Tutor - PhD in Nuclear/Particle Physics.

I have extensive taught general Physics to students with no background in Mathematics using lucid demonstrations of simple concepts. Physics is an experimental science. A set of experiments to be followed just after the concepts learned in theory in a proper pedagogical order is mandatory for the course curriculum development. I try to create innovative and simple projects for understanding Physics without the use of very expensive equipment. For example, I assigned a project to my students to measure the pitch (spacing) of the data tracks on CD’s, using the diffraction pattern displayed by the CD. They were advised to use a monochromatic source of light – a laser pointer on the CD. So, it is not always essential to have extremely expensive equipment like a grating, a spectrometer etc. to understand simple concepts in physics. I also give daily life examples of how interference causes colors in thin films, wings of butterfly etc. Experimentation could also be based on just observing the physical world around you and I take up this as a challenge to make my students observe things and think about the physics behind it. Thus, experimentation based on observation is a great tool for teaching physics. I have Bachelors in Education from a reputed University in Calcutta, India which gives me specialized pedagogical training for this type of course curriculum. I had 12 years of teaching experience in this field in India and further enhanced my skill in the US while woking as a TA during my PhD from University of Kentucky. I successfully taught and tutored students in Physics in various mega cities in India (New Delhi, Mumbai and Calcutta) and in the US too.
