Deepannita - your physics tutor
I have experience of around 6 years in teaching theory and laboratory courses of UG and PG level Physics for an Arts and Science college and 1 year for engineering courses. Along with this during my Ph.D. tenure, I provided private tuition in Physics for a foreign university student. The experience of research and academics made me well-versed in demonstrating all kinds of laboratory experiments as well as theory simply and most easily possible for the students to understand. I have taught courses ranging from classical mechanics, and quantum mechanics to nuclear physics, and condensed matter physics for both UG and PG students. Also, recently I am teaching engineering physics to B.E./B.Tech students. I use Vesta software to show them crystal structure and Miller planes for the crystallography course. My focus is to make the students understand the concepts and be able to solve problems based on those.
Deepannita graduated from Vellore Institute of Technology Vellore


Physics class snapshot
A teacher should always remain a good student at heart. The mind should be open to updating recent advances in technology so that it can be spread among the students. I believe this suggestion wholeheartedly. My motto is to make the students understand the most difficult concept of physics in the easiest way possible. In recent times students have developed a dislike for Physics or I can say fear for Physics. I try to make it easier for them to understand the concepts which they learn. I believe the concept should be understood and not just memorized by the students. The pedagogy that I follow comprises real-life examples of the concepts or metamorphically imaging the concept with a practical situation. I can use all kinds of equipment from chalk and board to presentation, laboratory, or simple model understanding to smart board with ease. I like to teach practical courses more as during that I can show them how the theory for the concept works using the equipment. Like, I used an experimental setup of the torsional pendulum to make them understand the restoring and shearing force on the system. Along with this, I like to use software wherever required. I use Vesta software to show them crystal structure and Miller planes for the crystallography course. My focus is to make the students understand the concepts and be able to solve problems based on those.

Physics concept taught by Deepannita
The Student and Tutor worked through problems related to spin operators, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and expectation values. The Student practiced finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors for spin operators in different directions, as well as calculating probabilities of spin measurements. The Tutor agreed to send written solutions to the problems.
Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of Spin Operators
Expectation Values of Spin Components
Probabilities of Spin Measurements
Normalization of Spin States
Spin Operators Squared
The Student and Tutor covered the quantum harmonic oscillator, focusing on setting up the problem using ladder operators to solve the Schrödinger equation. They manipulated the Hamiltonian using creation and annihilation operators. The next step is to determine the wave function for the harmonic oscillator.

Spin and Angular Momentum Operators
Spin-Up and Spin-Down States
Pauli Matrices
The Tutor and Student reviewed angular momentum, eigen values, raising and lowering operators, and commutation relations within the context of quantum mechanics. The Student worked through an assignment, focusing on calculating eigen values, expected values, and proving commutation relations. The Tutor assigned the student to review normalization in ladder operators for the next session.

Hamiltonian Eigenvalues and Eigenstates
Expectation Values: Averages in Quantum Measurements
Commutation Relations of Angular Momentum Operators
Normalization in Quantum Mechanics
The session covered ladder operators (L+ and L-) in quantum mechanics and their effect on angular momentum, azimuthal, and magnetic quantum numbers. The student learned how to derive and apply these operators to increase or decrease energy levels and spatial orientations of electrons, also covering L squared operator, and finding its eigenvalues. There was a discussion about spins planned for the next class.
