About Me

I’m teaching physics, math and chemistry because I like them. I dedicate all my time to understand them a bit more. My first education was chemical engineering and after then, I decided to study physics in Geneva. So I have a degree in chemical engineering and a Master degree in Quantum Matter Physics and I’m a PhD student in nano optics.

I like teaching and I find it challenging because in a one-to-one lesson the point is not the topics but the student. It’s important find a way to communicate the knowledge and it’s not the same for all the people.

I’m also a dad and I learn every day the best approach to catch the interest of a student

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

An experienced teacher, a graduate of a French Faculty of Science and a Faculty of Medicine, offers private tutoring in Mathematics, Analysis, Matrices, Statistics, Algebra, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, covering French, Quebec CEGEP, International (in English), and American curricula. I teach students in high school, the final year of high school, the Brevet exam, competitive entrance exams, and university preparatory classes. I also assist students enrolled in CNED (French National Centre for Distance Education) and those preparing for the SAT exams.
The lessons will take place either at home or online using a specific, very modernized method of a shared interactive whiteboard equipped with writing tools where I can write and correct homework with the student, displaying it directly, in addition to using Zoom or WhatsApp for communication (a very practical method, just like at home).
My students' results online for several years have been with grades of VERY GOOD, GOOD and EXCELLENT.
Contact me for more details.

Passionate & empathetic teacher. I have a Master's in Physics with honors from the University of Leicester (which was featured at the time as a top 5 Physics university in the UK by The Guardian) and a - french - European School diploma in which I achieved 90% in Physics and 85% in Maths.

Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have 5 years of experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds both in a homework schools as well as via private teaching. In private teaching, I have experience tutoring people with learning disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia, Discalculia and more), younger kids of ages 7-12 and older students preparing for their final baccalaureate exams in advanced maths/physics curriculums.

In my classes, I aim to:

- help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths
- clearly explain and break down topics
- give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorization)
- help with ADHD & other learning disabilities
- give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life.

Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject! My lessons will always be tailored to the individual needs of the student, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions!

Math, calculus and physics can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when the theory or solving method is unclear. I am a cum laude Aerospace Engineering graduate from TU Delft and have helped other pupils with their problems since 2017. With my calm and stepwise explanation, a second alternative view of the solution procedure is given, which is often what is missing. I tutor a variety of math and physics courses on both secondary and high school levels, but also at a scientific bachelor level. These can either be theory/exercise-based, but also exam preparation.

Welcome to my profile.
I am an experienced mathematics and science teacher with over seven years of experience helping students strengthen their understanding, improve their results and become more confident, independent learners.
My lessons are designed for students and families who value high-quality, well-prepared and personalised teaching. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all course, I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, objectives, school programme and learning style.
I teach students who need to rebuild essential foundations as well as those working on advanced topics, examinations or demanding international programmes such as the European Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate, as well as, the various Belgian programs.

◆ MY TEACHING APPROACH ◆

• • Initial assessment • •
We begin by identifying the student’s current level, strengths, difficulties and academic objectives.

• • Personalised lesson planning • •
Each student receives a structured learning approach based on their specific needs, curriculum and pace of progress.

• • Clear and accessible explanations • •
Complex concepts are broken down into logical, manageable steps, with visual representations and carefully selected examples.

• • Active problem-solving • •
Students are encouraged to think, explain their reasoning and develop reliable methods for approaching unfamiliar questions.

• • Targeted practice • •
Exercises are selected to address specific weaknesses, consolidate knowledge and prepare effectively for tests and examinations.

• • Regular review and feedback • •
Previously studied material is revisited when necessary, and clear feedback is provided to help the student understand what has improved and what still requires attention.

◆ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ◆

Professionalism and reliability are central to my work:
• • Lessons prepared in advance and tailored to the student
• • Punctual and well-structured sessions
• • Patient, respectful and focused teaching
• • Clear explanations without unnecessary complication
• • Constructive and timely feedback
• • Adaptation based on the student’s progress
• • A serious learning environment that remains supportive and encouraging

My objective is not simply to help students complete exercises. I aim to help them understand the underlying concepts, develop stronger reasoning skills and gain the confidence required to work more independently.

Mathematics and science can appear difficult when important foundations are missing or when explanations are poorly adapted to the learner. With the right structure, guidance and practice, these subjects become far more logical, accessible and rewarding.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

I teach Python specifically for finance and data applications - the kind used in economics, business analytics, and quantitative programs. This isn't a general "learn to code" course; it's built around real financial data, benchmarking, and the workflows you'll actually use in coursework or early career work.

Topics include:
Python fundamentals through a finance lens (data structures, functions, control flow).
Working with financial data and datasets.
Performance benchmarking and writing efficient code.
Applying concepts from Hilpisch's Python for Finance.

I offer one-to-one Programming tuition in Python, C, and C++, for GCSE Computer Science, A-Level Computing, and university students studying engineering, computer science, or related subjects. Lessons are available online or in person around Birmingham.

What I cover:

Python for beginners and intermediate learners
C and C++ programming
GCSE and A-Level Computer Science (all exam boards)
University coursework support, debugging help, and project guidance
Core concepts: variables, loops, functions, data structures, object-oriented programming, file handling, basic algorithms

How I teach:
I start by understanding exactly where you are — whether that's "I've never coded before" or "I'm stuck on a specific assignment." Then I build lessons around small, practical examples you can actually run and modify yourself. I'm patient with errors (everyone gets them), and I make sure you understand the why behind the code, not just how to copy it. For university students, I can also help with debugging, code reviews, and explaining tricky concepts in plain English.
If you or your child is preparing for exams, working on coursework, or just wants to finally feel comfortable with coding, I'd love to help.

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
