About Adrian
As a seasoned scientist with a PhD in Quantum Physics from ETH Zurich and postdoctoral experience at the California Institute of Technology, I bring both expertise and enthusiasm to my role as a tutor. Having started tutoring in high school, I’ve continued ever since because of my deep passion for teaching. My academic journey has involved extensive work and instruction in quantum physics and, of course, a great deal of math. Along the way, I’ve earned teaching certificates from ETH Zurich and Caltech, as well as completed a course on diversity in teaching from Columbia University. Despite my advanced skills and experience, I remain approachable, down-to-earth, and deeply empathetic. I never expect too much or make students feel overwhelmed—I meet them where they are, fostering a supportive and relaxed learning environment. Whether it’s mastering difficult concepts or building confidence, my goal is to empower you with the understanding and tools for success. Let's unlock your potential together!

Why Dr. Adrian? – My methods and style
I am very understanding and have developed a unique set of methods tailored to my students. Curious how I teach fractions with colors and shapes? Want to experience the "don't think" or the "do-not-be-afraid-method" in Math? My yearlong experience allows me to identify gaps in knowledge and build true understanding upon which you can build new skills.
I am very down-to-earth and easily adapt to wherever you are, despite my PhD in Quantum Physics;-) I use my full capabilities to help you grow!
Years of tutoring taught me the importance of psychology and the mental approach. Having fun is an important ingredient to my tutoring!
Levels
I teach all levels from 1st grade to high school and university degree Math&Physics. I do exam prep.
Lesson structure
Starting point is you sending me the material you want to treat - before the lesson (up to high school not required but recommended for best results ;-) )
Then we’ll go through the theory and fundamental concepts that you need to solve the homework. I’ll illustrate it, provide easy examples. Most of the times it turns out that there is a more fundamental concept which is the cause of the current difficulty. In urgent cases I’ll teach you some quick fixes. But for long-term success, we go back to where the difficulties started and build on there, step by step.

I’m so grateful we found Dr. Adrian for my daughter. She used to struggle with math, but he made such a difference. I’m not sure how he did it, but over the three years he worked with her, her grades improved dramatically—by the end, she was one of the top students in her class! She even started to enjoy math and felt confident heading into university. He was absolutely worth every penny, and I can’t recommend him enough!
Dr. Adrian was my tutor for university prep, and he made a huge difference for me. I used to struggle a lot with fractions, but he introduced this super unusual method—using colors and quirky symbols instead of numbers—and suddenly, it all clicked!
He’s amazing at spotting my weaknesses, but in a really helpful way. When he notices a gap, he doesn’t make me feel bad about it. Instead, he starts with the simplest exercises I can manage, which feels so reassuring, and then carefully builds things up step by step until I get it. He also has these catchy little phrases for certain tasks that he repeats a lot, but honestly, they really stick and help.
What I appreciated most is how encouraging and understanding he is—never making me feel bad for not knowing or forgetting something. At the same time, he always recognized what I was capable of and didn’t go easy on me. He struck the perfect balance between pushing me and supporting me. I’m so grateful I had him to guide me through this prep—I made it thanks to him!
Dr. Adrian tutored me all through high school. We started with math, but before long, we were tackling physics, chemistry, and pretty much every subject I needed help with. He’s super smart—kind of nerdy, but in the best way—and always made learning fun.
His tutoring went way beyond just academics. He was so encouraging and even shared life lessons along the way. I’ll never forget the time we were simplifying some awful-looking expression, and he introduced me to his “do not be afraid method.” Of course, he threw in a few words about how that mindset applies to other subjects and even life itself.
Dr. Adrian is incredibly curious and knows so much—it’s not just book smarts, either. He has this amazing way of connecting math to real life, even in unexpected areas like probabilities. I genuinely miss those sessions with him and can’t recommend him highly enough!
Dr. Adrian tutored my daughter throughout high school. She initially struggled with low grades and a lack of confidence in mathematics. Through his empathetic and patient approach, I saw her confidence grow – and so did her grades! Her newfound skills and self-esteem extended beyond math, improving her performance in other subjects. She graduated with the highest math grade in her entire class.
Dr. Adrian is extremely smart and a fast thinker. He readily recognized what my daughter needed. I can highly recommend him.
