Gaston

A qualified Physics teacher since 2005, I have decades of experience tutoring. Both privately and teaching at different international schools worldwide, including at the renowned IB World School in Costa Rica. I have vast experience teaching the IB, A Level and IGCSE (Physics and Chemistry) curricula. Also I can confidently guide IB students through their Internal Assessments and Extended Essays. My colleagues say that I am an outgoing and industrious individual. I truly enjoy inspiring my students to be risk takers and become the best they can be. In my lessons I balance theory with practice in a way that students can fully grasp concepts and apply them with success.

"Gaston is an exceptional tutor who has made my learning experience enjoyable and effective. He is friendly, patient, and creates a comfortable environment that encourages questions. His ability to explain complex concepts in a simple way has greatly improved my understanding of the subjects." IGCSE Chemistry Student.

I have an equivalent Master's degree in teaching Physics, and a Master's degree in Geosciences from one of the top engineering universities in the world. My international teaching career has taken me to Europe, South America and Asia. I've not only taught Physics and Chemistry, but have also held several Head of Department positions. This has made me committed to constantly improving the quality of teaching and learning in any institution I work within. I have experience teaching students with a diverse cultural background and students whose first language is not English. My lessons have been described as joyful, well planned and always keep students engaged. I put emphasis on practical work to promote the different concepts within science through a critical thinking process.
