Saniya - your physics tutor
Being born in a family where both my parents were teachers and educators were always highly respected , I had a passion for teaching since a young age. I have taught students right from middle school to college level and enjoyed every single stage equally. The feeling of fulfilment at the end of each day and the joy and tears that the final results bring along are some of the happiest memories. I have always been fond of all my students and having worked in Dubai taught me to value every child equally and understand the emotions behind each type of behaviour. My students have always been respectful and have achieved high results, staying in touch with me long after leaving school. I have currently embarked on a journey to pursue a PhD in education as I feel, with further research a lot of the gaps, that keep students from reaching their full potential can be filled. I have find memories of my high school teaching days and miss teaching Physics. Hence I look forward to this opportunity of getting back into tutoring.

Physics class snapshot
My teaching methodology is grounded in experiential learning and student-centered practice. I like to relate what I teach with real-world examples and applications to ensure better understanding. For classroom and in-person teaching I firmly believe in hands-on activities. While during my online teaching days (of COVID), I made up for this element using simulations in Physics such as PhetColorado, and Physics.io. I like scaffolding my lessons, to ensure concepts are well arranged. For assessments, I rely heavily on formative assessments using concept checking questions as well as instruction checking ones. Platforms such as Nearpod, KhanAcademy, and quizziz are excellent for in-between assessments and collaborative learning. I have used multiple educational platforms and found Nearpod to be the most effective for online teaching. I prefer that students even when learning online should have a collaborative space to work with their tutor.

Physics concepts taught by Saniya
The Student and Tutor reviewed concepts in kinematics, fluid dynamics, work and energy, oscillations, circular motion, and projectile motion. They solved problems involving velocity-time graphs, fluid flow, friction, spring-mass systems, static friction, pressure, and the work-energy and impulse-momentum theorems. The Tutor also guided the Student through calculations for a zip-line scenario and projectile motion velocity changes.
Velocity-Time Graphs and Displacement
Rate of Flow (Continuity Equation)
Work-Energy Theorem and Friction
Spring-Mass System: Frequency and Amplitude
Circular Motion and Friction in Theme Park Rides
Pressure and Area Relationship
Work-Energy Theorem and Kinematics for Braking
The Student and Tutor reviewed Archimedes' principle, buoyant force, and pressure in fluids. They practiced calculating forces on a submerged object, determining fluid density using a U-tube barometer, and deriving expressions for displaced volume and density from experimental data, with a plan to share screenshots of a remaining problem.
Archimedes' Principle and Buoyant Force
Pressure in Fluids
Buoyancy and Equilibrium
Barometers and Pressure Measurement
Density Determination using Manometers
The session focused on kinematics, including speed, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and the application of kinematic equations. The student practiced solving problems related to average speed, average velocity, and displacement, including scenarios requiring unit conversions and the Pythagorean theorem. The student and Tutor also reviewed potential and kinetic energy, the work-energy theorem, and the law of conservation of energy.
