Hugo - Know your tutor
Hi everyone, my name is Hugo Pissarra. I am a 1st year student at the University of Lisbon, specialising in Probability and Statistics. With a storng background in sciences, mainly physics and math, I hope to help students of all levels and academic backgrounds, ensuring a tailored approach based on their needs and ambitions. From Geometry to Calculus, whether you’re prepping for national exams or navigating the rigours of Linear Algebra, I provide the clarity you need to succeed. Through engaging and straightforward techniques, I hope to spread the joy of problem-solving. Having recently navigated these same academic hurdles, I understand the pressure all students face. We will tackle your specific roadblocks with patience and lightness, ensuring that every session builds your confidence. I will mainly use the whiteboard and visual tutorials, as they provide a more "hands-on" approach that, in my experience, yields better results in both the short and long runs. For further information, feel free to contact me via email at hugo.filipe.10.hp@gmail.com. I invite you all to book a lesson, because together everything is easier. Let’s turn those daunting equations into your greatest strengths!

Mathematics concepts taught by Hugo
The Tutor and Student reviewed several physics concepts including celestial mechanics (center of mass, gravitational force, orbital period), kinematics (escape velocity), fluid dynamics (Bernoulli's equation, hydrostatic pressure), and oscillatory motion (simple harmonic motion). The session involved problem-solving and formula derivation, with plans to send practice problems with answer keys.
Center of Mass Calculation
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
Centripetal Force and Orbital Period
Escape Velocity
Bernoulli's Principle in Fluid Dynamics
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
The tutor introduced fundamental geometry concepts, including the standard equation of a circle and its components, distance calculations, and vector addition. They then progressed to linear equations, finding intersection points between lines and circles, and calculating the area of a triangle formed by intersecting lines. The student will continue lessons with this tutor.
Standard Equation of a Circle
Distance Formula & Pythagorean Theorem
Vector Addition
Equation of a Line (Slope-Intercept Form)
Solving Systems of Equations (Line & Circle)
The Tutor and Student worked through several physics problems covering pendulums, static equilibrium, angular kinematics, centripetal force, angular momentum conservation, and fluid buoyancy. They calculated observed and ideal pendulum periods, normal forces on a log, angular displacement of a rotating object, centripetal force, and the volume of displaced water for a floating block. The Student expressed a desire to focus more on oscillation problems in future sessions.
Pendulum Period Calculation
Static Equilibrium Principles
Angular Kinematics and Motion
Conservation of Angular Momentum
Buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle
The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts related to mechanical energy, friction, and work-energy theorem, solving problems involving inclined planes and variable forces using graphs. They then began discussing static equilibrium, focusing on the principles of balanced forces and torques, and planning to practice more problems in upcoming sessions.
Friction and Mechanical Energy Loss
Static Equilibrium
Work-Energy Theorem
The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts in physics, including terminal velocity, conservation of mechanical energy with springs, centripetal force in circular motion, conservation of momentum in inelastic collisions, and rotational motion with torque and angular acceleration. They worked through several example problems covering these topics and discussed upcoming session scheduling.
Terminal Velocity
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Centripetal Force and Circular Motion
Conservation of Momentum
Rotational Kinematics and Torque
The Student and Tutor worked through problems related to work done by forces, including tension and gravity in pendulum motion. They also analyzed torque and rotational motion of a pulley and discussed forces on a car turning on a banked curve. The Student plans to book further sessions to cover additional physics topics like fluid mechanics and gravitation.
