Our Teaching Approach

We focus on both deep conceptual understanding AND exam-specific problem-solving techniques.

Conceptual Understanding
Building deep knowledge that lasts
  • Visualize field lines and equipotential surfaces
  • Connect thermodynamic processes to real applications
  • Understand wave behavior through ray diagrams
  • Build intuition for quantum effects before formulas
Exam-Specific Strategies
Techniques that maximize your score
  • Practice multi-step circuit analysis problems
  • Master ray tracing for mirrors and lenses
  • Know how to apply conservation laws in new contexts
  • Practice designing experiments with given equipment
