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.

Ozair Ahmed
Grand Blanc, MI

Physics Graduate

I studied Physics with a Minor in Mathematics at the University of Windsor and got my Bachelor's degree in 2023. I have a deep passion for the subject and desire to teach students how to develop an inquisitive nature that will drive them to want to be connected to the world around them and learn deeply with desire any subject of their choice. Moreover, logic is the most powerful mental tool that can be used in any field of expertise, through which one can assess any material or situation in life and rapidly come up with solutions for any problems. Physics and mathematics trains students to develop an intimacy with logic, enhancing problem solving abilities, and facilitating life in its entirety. In high school, I tutored students in mathematics with great success. Other tutors would also seek my advice in math, and I would assist a wide array of students in their problem solving ability. Furthermore, I had also been a Teaching Assistant in University, where I proctored exams, coordinated labs, assisted with physics problems, and managed up to 30 students at a time. I loved the experience and had enormous positive feedback from both faculty and students. I believe Physics and Mathematics is useful to build a strong, healthy, and successful mind, even for students that may not choose a career in Physics. I strive to teach this fascinating subject with passion and enthusiasm, as to reflect how beautiful and deep this subject is, and how it should indeed be perceived, rather that "boring" or "dry", as unfortunately many teachers make it out to be. This subject, when taught right, can positively change the mindset, and thus the life, of a student, and I strive to be the capable and willing tutor that does that.
