Three words: Interaction-Innovation-Feedback.
Try to highlight the common misconceptions in Physics-related to his/her curriculum.
Give the student ”space” to try proceeding at his/her own pace by adopting my methodology personally and effectively.
By setting new goals at a higher level of understanding complex concepts and helping him/her step by step to achieve them.
Trying different approaches, incorporating new technologies (e.g., video, simulations, etc.), and repeating the procedure several times until it works. If not, try another…
I would suggest getting help from an expert (e.g., teaching grammar and literature).
Make him/herself familiar with the way I work. Make both of us feel comfortable. Try to highlight the points of interest we have to focus on 4.
By showing him everyday examples of how Physics is involved in our lives.
Assigning homework of various types. Often reviews of small ”bunches” of material. Live quizzes during the lessons. Conversations about the material in terms of applications in our life (if possible).
By checking his/her degree of understanding and by showing the points that are the most common sources of misconceptions.
Checking his/her interests. Putting small projects to choose one and work on it to investigate his/her needs and skills/hobbies. Regular testing of the level of understanding. Getting student’s feedback regarding his/her feelings about his/her progress.
Taking into account the student’s age and curriculum. Using 2-3 different teaching approaches. Testing the degree of understanding step by step.
Powerpoint presentations. Simulations. Videos. Online quizzes. Virtual labs Assignments
George, thank you so much for all your patient efforts and sincerity in tutoring my son. He has done so well in physics, and it has exceeded expectations, thanks to you!
Amazing teaching skills! “Mom, wow!” Was my daughter's reaction after the lesson. And she’s not easy on compliments, George was very thorough, he’s a great tutor!
Good language, clear explanation, knowledgeable Very good
Very good experience. Patient, and allows the student to try and adapts his methods according to student’s needs. Very friendly and really makes sure that concepts are well understood with clear and detailed explanations.
George, thank you so much. Kostas got 7 in Physics and overall 41/45. Ready for the University...

INTRO:
Choosing an IB IA Physics topic may seem like a simple matter but in the end it turns out to be much more complex. The main danger is that the student gets involved in the search for original and unusual subjects and eventually gets trapped in situations that will lead him to the failure of the whole project. Our proposal is to move on to a range of topics that are tried and tested and may be described as "classic" but to put the weight on thorough processing and well-documented analysis that will lead to clear and reliable results. In conclusion, considering that about 25,000 such topics are prepared each year it is probably impossible to think of something completely original.
STEPS:
Although there is no absolute and generally accepted method of topic selection, following these steps may prove helpful:
Step 1: Select a topic with a wide area of interest. Narrow specialization involves risks that must be avoided.
Step 2: Choose physical sizes that have ΄΄flexibility΄΄ of changes. This will be very useful if something goes wrong and individual changes are required.
Step 3: For the experimental part select quantities and procedures that can be easily measured and processed without high equipment requirements and special implementation conditions
Step 4: Check if the questions you are asking are realistic and have a solid scientific background
