About Sara
I’m a Physics tutor with over 4 years of experience and a PhD in Physics, specializing in the science behind space exploration and rocket propulsion. My passion lies in unraveling the mysteries of the universe and helping students understand the forces that drive it. I teach core concepts like orbital mechanics, gravitational forces, and Newton’s laws with a strong emphasis on their real-world applications. One of my favorite topics is the principle of action and reaction—essential to understanding how rockets work. I also guide students through the fundamentals of spacecraft design, from propulsion systems to trajectory planning. To make learning engaging, I use space mission case studies, including real NASA and ESA projects. These allow students to see how physics works in action, not just on paper. I also integrate celestial mechanics simulations to let learners visualize planetary motion and orbital transfers. My approach is both structured and exploratory, encouraging questions and creative thinking. Whether you're curious about launching a satellite or understanding deep space navigation, I’m here to support your learning journey. Physics is more than equations—it’s a way to understand our place in the cosmos. Let’s master it together and reach for the stars—and beyond.

My teaching approach in Physics is rooted in curiosity and real-world exploration. I believe science is best learned by doing, not just memorizing. That’s why I encourage students to think like scientists—asking questions, testing ideas, and learning from what they observe.
I focus on both core physics topics and essential lab skills. These include experimental design, data analysis, error propagation, and scientific reporting. Through hands-on learning and thoughtful discussion, students build a deeper understanding of how scientific knowledge is formed.
I guide learners to design their own experiments, analyze data meaningfully, and report results clearly. This builds not only technical ability but also confidence in their scientific thinking. My sessions are gentle and reflective, allowing space for mistakes and discoveries.
Students who enjoy being DIY scientists or are naturally curious find my sessions engaging. I help them discover their unique approach to problem-solving. Whether it’s mastering mechanics or exploring the principles of thermodynamics, I support them in excelling.
Together, we uncover a new way to do science—one that is thoughtful, practical, and deeply personal.
