Τμήμα Physics - Mathematics
IB & A-Levels Physics and Mathematics lessons offered in Athens, Greece or online.
I have been educating students in Physics and Mathematics for about 40 years, in two countries (Greece and Denmark), in three languages (greek, english and danish) and on a broad spectrum of educational levels and settings, including:
- private tutoring (in person in Greece and in Denmark and online around the world)
- Aarhus University, Denmark
- IB DP School, Denmark
- public Upper Secondary Schools, Denmark
- private British Secondary Schools (IGCSE – A Levels), Greece
- Tuition Centres for Secondary and University Education, Greece
- NGOs (education for vulnerable groups), Denmark and Greece
My philosophy and method as an educator:
- to cultivate a positive study attitude among the students, and establish a fruitful collaboration with them, not through the use of teacher’s “authority”, but by relating to the students in a way that makes them feel understood, respected and safe to fail,
- to encourage and train the students in wondering, trying out, questioning and developing critical thinking, rather than just memorising and reproducing,
- to promote learning not by conveying information and facts to passive “recipients of knowledge” through one-way communication, but (inspired by Socrates’ dialectical method) through constant dialog and by posing the proper questions that make the students discover the answers themselves,
- to extract the essence of the necessary theoretical knowledge and organise it graphically in a way that clearly showcases the connections between the theoretical concepts, and which makes theory much easier for the students to grasp, and later on, to recall,
- to acknowledge and accommodate the different academic levels, learning styles and personal situations of students,
- to support students with learning difficulties or lack of confidence or motivation more effectively, taking advantage of my vast experience, but also by regularly receiving supervision from psychologists and special education professionals,
- to ensure a more comprehensive and in depth understanding of the syllabus by exploiting both the theoretical and the practical approach to the subject,
- to deliver a lesson that is animated and connected to everyday life.
