Pavithra Subramaniam

I am an MSc Astrophysics student with a strong academic background in physics and hands-on experience tutoring secondary school students, including those with different learning needs. I truly enjoy teaching and helping students understand concepts that once felt difficult or confusing. My goal is not only to teach the subject, but also to build confidence, curiosity and a genuine interest in science.

My lessons are designed to be clear, understandable supportive and fully personalised. I first understand the student’s level, learning style, and school syllabus. Based on that, I create a structured plan that focuses on strengthening fundamental concepts, improving problem-solving skills, and preparing for exams. I use simple explanations, step-by-step methods, diagrams, real-life examples, and practice questions to make physics easier to follow. Students are always encouraged to ask questions, think independently, and learn at a comfortable pace.

A typical lesson includes a short recap, explanation of new topics, interactive discussion, and guided practice. I also provide additional worksheets, exam-style problems, and feedback to help students improve steadily. For students who need extra support, I adjust the speed and teaching style to ensure they feel comfortable and never pressured.

My previous experience as a tutor and teaching assistant has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to work with learners of different abilities. I am organised, reliable and committed to helping every student achieve their best. Whether a student is struggling, needs exam preparation, or wants to deepen their understanding, I’m here to support them throughout their learning journey.
