About

“Our uniqueness needs to be cultivated and celebrated”. As the famous Albert Einstein said "Everybody is a genius". I have over 20 years of teaching experience in London, UK and also in Mauritius and Australia. I am very passionate about the pupil's perspective in their learning and supporting them to achieve their potential. Over the years, I developed several curricula in Maths and Science to reflect pupils' abilities and I am big advocate of personalised learning. I was Head of Faculty (Maths and Sciences) in London before moving to Melbourne. I am known for my problem-solving skills, and more importantly my ability to break down challenging concepts using many different techniques for ease of understanding. I have great feedback on my ability to unpick the challenges faced by each individual and also help them through those challenges. Henry Ford said "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently" and this is what learning is about. Challenges and mistakes happen - they always do, but it is what we do next is what defines us! All sessions are online and are a mixture of theory explanations and more importantly a series of questions where I support you to complete those questions using a technique of building up confidence, especially for the usually challenging ideas. Sessions can be ongoing or one-off. Feel free to get in touch - the first session, which usually last for about 45mins, is a trial session (free of charge) and is to assess the best option for you.

Hans was one of a kind for me. A tutor is someone that gives you guidance in a certain subject however that guidance for me has extended beyond merely just physics. He has helped me with not just physics but also give me the tools to expand my capabilities on all my other subjects by looking past my potential limitations and growing past them to better improve myself. Hans has helped me in many areas other than physics with the most notable being procrastination. I have always had trouble sitting down and getting work done or just motivating myself in general but he has helped me realise that sometimes u cant wait for motivation and you just have to do it. Hans is extremely good at pinpointing your strengths and limitations a in a way that utilises it. He uses this to tailor a teaching experience that is unique to me and helps me understand significantly better which makes things efficient. Picking out the issues and most importantly, figuring out what’s the reasoning behind me not understanding it and targeting those areas which helps in eliminating the problem at its root. The way he teaches is personalised and this is extremely helpful as everyone learns differently and i certainly do. Having someone that can understand the way you think and explain in a way tailored for you is really beneficial for my understanding. Sometimes my curiosity strolls beyond the course but he is still able to satisfy it and answer any questions that i may have which gives the subject meaning and keeps me interested and motivated. Additionally, he always has a positive attitude no matter the outcome of any assessment, keeping me motivated and eager to try harder the next time around. This is important as when you are just starting out, you tend to miss the little progress you have made and only focus on the final outcome which can me demotivating. Sometimes the questions he asks to figure our where exactly you are having trouble with can be annoying. Its almost like an interview where you are constantly being cornered. However the best solution i have found is just be honest with yourself as to where you are struggling and that will make the whole process smoother.

Hans is not just a teacher or a tutor to me. One of his most important asset is how he approached me in a very friendly way and acted like a mentor to me. He was interested in how I was doing in other subjects. This is one of the most important aspect in teaching that many tutors often forget how to be. Hans, as my mentor, has given me inspiration to learn Physics as well as an opportunity to pursue my interest in this particular science field. As a tutor, Hans has provided with a chance to look beyond my limitations and mistakes in past and focus on what I could do in present to better improve my future. Hans is the best tutor and mentor to me. Hans has taught me many skills not just in physics, but also in other areas in which I require improvement on. One of these skills is the ability to work in team. I had always encountered multiple problems when applying this skill during assessments that required such skill. However, through Hans’ encouragement and inspiration, I was able to set aside my distrust for my teammates and became able to work together successfully with them as a team. Hans has an incredible gift of teaching; and through his teaching methods, I was able to learned new information from every class, while having a lot of enjoyment as his classes often seems like play He is very good at outlining the problems and issues in which the student is facing with the question and reviewing why they have made that particular mistake. This ensures that the student doesn’t make the same mistake within their sacs/assessments. His teaching methods are quite inspiring and amazing. Very clear and concise. Hans does not waste the student’s time explaining meaningless background information, but instead focuses his attention to ensure that the student understands the deeper meaning of the physics and science behind the problem they are facing. Hans will push you to reach your full potential and even though his methods can be quite unconventional as he can be very strict when you fail to answer a question. Additionally, Hans always has a positive attitude and a desire to help his student understand the material thoroughly. He has helped me understand the content for multiple difficult problems and questions in Physics and is the best tutor that I have had and I highly recommend him.

I found Hans through the market place on facebook in 2020 for my son’s tutoring. My son was very anxious about his Physics as he did not understand the lessons given by his teacher at school. He is the 11 year student at The University Highschool in Melbourne, Australia. I talked to Hans on phone and got the information about his experience in tutoring for many years. Hans gave me the belief that he would be able to tutor my son and be his mentor in studying. A little worry as i meet many tutors before him and they did not satisfy me at all. Thanks to Hans’ tutoring, my son got back on track in Physics and found Hans as more than a tutor but a close friend ( i called Hans a good mentor). He always delivered the tutoring more than the hours being paid, gave feedback for my son’s exercises as soon as he could and emailed me the lessons after his tutoring. I am grateful to have Hans as a good tutor and would like to introduce him to whom are struggling to find a good Physics tutor for their children. Hans would be the good choice for tutoring and he deserves that thanks to his devotion and enthusiasm.
