Additional Information

With 15 years of experience, I have tried to show thousands of students that physics is an enjoyable science that is with us at every moment of our lives, contrary to the perception that physics is a feared, incomprehensible, difficult course, both in well-known famous tutoring centers and private education institutions and in academic studies at Marmara University Faculty of Engineering where I was a lecturer. During this period, I prepared questions for our students preparing for the physics olympiads organized by tübitak in Turkey. I gave both class and private lessons for university placement exams in Turkey. In addition to these private lessons, I taught both IB and AP physics courses in English and Turkish. Finally, this year I am teaching physics for grade 11 and 12, mathematics for grade 10 and science for grade 9, 10 according to the PEI Canada curriculum.
