Gerda

I am a certified Physics teacher, with over 20 years of international experience. My specialist programs are IBDP Physics (SL and HL) and iGCSE Physics but I have also taught IB MYP and A Level. I am an IBDP Physics examiner, co- author of the only IBDP Physics textbook of Kognity and I developed part of the IBDP Physics course material for Pamoja -Oxford. My lessons are highly interactive and I have helped many students to excel in Physics and many IB students achieve high grades for their IA and EE. During the holidays I teach IB DP Physics revision courses to prepare students for their exams.

"Gerda is an excellent physics instructor who has built my son’s capabilities and confidence" IB Parent

"She has greatly helped me understand topics in physics that I had much difficultly with before. I feel much more confident for my tests now! Thank you." IB Student

"We are very grateful for the outstanding support Ms. Gerda is providing to our son in preparation for his IB2 HL Physics exams. Her dedication, expertise, and ability to explain complex concepts with clarity have made a significant difference in his understanding and confidence, overall, and particularly in units with new subjects such as Unit 5. Gerda is not only highly experienced but also patient and encouraging, always adapting her teaching to suit his needs. Without a doubt, a 5-star tutor—highly recommended!" IB Parent

"I have the privilege of being taught by teacher Gerda and I can honestly say that learning physics has never been easier! Teacher Gerda is incredibly kind and patient, always taking the time to ensure that I fully understand the material. Her explanations are clear, detailed, and well-structured, making complex topics feel simple and approachable. She creates a welcoming and supportive environment, where I always felt comfortable asking questions. I would highly recommend teacher Gerda to anyone looking to master physics!" IGCSE Physics Student.

I hold a double Bachelor's degree in Science and in Physics Education and my over three decades' experience teaching has taken me to Africa, Asia, Europe, the UK and South America. I love teaching physics and making it interesting and relevant. I have been able to motivate and inspire many students who initially started with a dislike of the subject and changed into excited physics learners. As a tutor I will first try to identify student's problem areas and work with them in a positive and constructive way to achieve success. I design my online lessons based on my students’ needs with an emphasis on confidence - boosting activities, explaining difficult concepts, improving examination skills and practicing exam style questions. I will promise you personal guidance every step of the way to your exam.
