About Juan

I’m a professional tutor with expertise in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, holding degrees in Chemistry and Physics (BA, MSci) from the University of Cambridge. My reputation is built on coaching students for physics, maths, and chemistry Olympiads, achieving consistently high success rates and propelling my students to the next round. Beyond honing skills for Olympiads, I advise my students in shaping successful Oxbridge applications, ensuring they not only excel in competitions but also secure admissions to top-tier universities across the UK.

My teaching style is characterized by a relaxed approach and a firm belief in the potential of all my students to attain excellence. I am known for giving clear explanations of difficult concepts and for finding strong connections between seemingly isolated ideas. During lessons, the emphasis is on worked examples, using these as a stepping stone to delve deeply into the underlying theory. Most notably, my A-level and IB students typically witness an improvement of at least one grade after one or two terms of lessons.

My tutoring prowess extends to being a recognized expert in British university entrance exams (NSAA and PAT) and interviews, consistently achieving high success rates in Physics, Chemistry, and Natural Sciences. With hundreds of hours spent working with students worldwide, my students are ready to tackle the most difficult exams and the hardest interviews.

Beyond tutoring, I am an active quantum scientist specializing in electronic structure—a branch of quantum mechanics that specialises in modelling electrons in molecules. Specifically, I am at the forefront of developing algorithms for quantum computers to address such challenges as an incoming PhD student at UC Berkeley. Beyond academia, I have a passion for making trousers and playing the piano.

About the lesson

Learning is about understanding. Students should not feel like they must memorise content without end. Instead, by understanding the concepts and only remembering key pieces of information it is possible to excel in exams.

In my lessons, I first try to gauge the level of understanding my students present. Any misconceptions are explained (in as many ways as needed) until they become acquainted and understood. To further bulletproof the learning, I test my students often and informally. Finally, to make sure that the understanding remains with the students, I highlight the key points that should be remembered and provide a summary of the lesson.

I bring valuable experience in coaching students for chemistry, physics, and maths Olympiads, having earned a distinction in the UK Maths Olympiad round 1 and ranking among the top 25 chemists in the UK Chemistry Olympiad during my A-levels. My proficiency in Olympiads has only advanced since then.

While my specialization lies in competition coaching and university admissions for Physics, Chemistry, and Natural Sciences, I possess extensive experience tutoring A-Level and IB mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Familiar with various exam board requirements, I tailor my preparation programs to meet the unique needs of each student. Additionally, I am equipped to teach a wide range of undergraduate physics and chemistry modules, with a focus on physical chemistry.

Perfect! Excellent tutor and brilliant advice for chemistry Olympiad

Juan's response
Ahalya's son was inquisitive and engaged, easily following complex reasonings and showing a good understanding of Chemistry. With a bit of elbow grease, he will do very well in the Chemistry Olympiad.

Juan has helped me since my A level years, and even as I am in University doing Physics, Juan is extremely well versed in advanced Maths, Physics and Chemistry. He goes beyond in explaining concepts and fundamentals in a way that is logical and concise.

What I like most about his teaching is when he teaches problem solving, he doesn’t just go through the steps of the specific problem. He has taught me how to apply certain procedures to express different aspects of different problems, and I have greatly improved my general problem solving skills from him. He has taught me how to think independently without his help, which to me is beyond valuable tool.

I have known Juan for several years at university. Whenever we talk about his research, I am always not only amazed by the complexity of the ideas he's talking about, but also the simplicity with which he communicates them. He's always very patient and enthusiastic to clarify if something's unclear - you can tell he really wants to get you to understand things. I am certain he is an excellent maths tutor.

Juan has been tutoring me for the past 7 months. He always manages to come up with clear explanations for anything I ask, and his summaries help me see everything in context. He is very patient and dedicated, he does not leave a lesson until he is certain I have understood the content. I have not found a better tutor, and my grades can show.
