HAMZA ALKAN Physics + Math - Calculus teacher
2 Reviews

Physics and Mathematics educator with dual Master’s degrees in Astrophysics and Science Education and over 15 years of experience teaching international curricula (AP, IB, IGCSE, SAT, and CALCULUS). Experienced in academic leadership, curriculum development, and technology-integrated instruction, I apply a balanced range of teaching methodologies, including teacher-centered approaches (such as direct instruction) for structured content delivery and student-centered approaches (such as inquiry-based and problem-based learning) to promote deeper understanding. My practice also incorporates mastery, remedial, and differentiated instruction, alongside collaborative, modern, and thinking-based strategies that enhance engagement, interaction, and critical thinking. As part of my remedial teaching approach, I place strong emphasis on prerequisite skills, particularly the central role of algebra in solving a wide range of mathematical and physical problems. Multilingual in English, Arabic, and Turkish, I am committed to advancing scientific understanding and improving student performance.

Really helped me improve quickly

Teacher Hamza is amazing teacher who explains everything so clearly. His way of breaking down questions and solutions makes it impossible not to understand. Being trilingual in English, Arabic, and Turkish really shows his expertise. Regardless of your native language, his teaching is superb and his prices are very reasonable for this level of quality

Honestly one of the best teachers I have had

I usually find this subject pretty tough but they make it feel easy. The lessons are super chill and everything is explained in a way that actually makes sense. I never felt stressed about asking questions and I have learned way more than I expected to.
