Learning With Gideon
About
I am passionate about learning and sharing knowledge. From a young age I was all about science and I dove in headfirst, getting a degree in Physics. I began teaching high school science in 2007 at an international high school. I taught Physics up to an AP level as well as Chemistry, Biology and Math. I was responsible for developing the entire school science syllabus including lesson plans, exams and laboratory work. I designed lab work that includes the double-slit experiment, Young's modulus measurements, acid-base reactions, dissections and much more.
My goal is to increase your confidence in the material and equip you for success in science. I will give you the tools you need to thrive and I will kindle your passion for learning. I want you to really understand all the important concepts and be able to do the math. I will work with you at whatever your starting level is and make sure we get you to understand everything. I look forward to working with you!
