Physics Tutor at Lakehead University | Specializing in Conceptual Understanding

Hi! I am Navneet Kaur, a PhD holder with over 12 years of experience teaching Physics and Math courses. I also hold two master's degrees in Physics and a bachelor's in Physics (Honors). My expertise is in Algebra, Optics, Advanced Physics, Waves and Oscillations, Quantum Mechanics, Classical Mechanics, Statistics, etc. Over the past six years, I have worked as a teaching assistant at the university level, supporting courses in Physics and tutoring over 600 students, both in-person and online. I am passionate about making science engaging and accessible at all levels. I tailor my teaching methods to match each student's learning style, ensuring they understand the material and gain confidence and problem-solving skills. I aim to create a supportive learning environment where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and explore new ideas!

My teaching methodology is centered on a personalized, student-focused approach. The first step is assessing each student's current understanding of the subject, learning style, and academic goals. Based on that, I plan my lessons to address individual strengths and areas for improvement. I prioritize concept clarity by breaking complex topics into more straightforward ones and use real-world examples to build the foundation. I encourage active participation during lessons through guided problem solving, questioning techniques, and regular feedback. Another crucial part is visualization, specifically in Physics and Math, where diagrams play an essential role in understanding the concept better. Progress is monitored through short quizzes, open discussions, and concept checks. My ultimate objective is to create a supportive environment where students enjoy learning.
