Tee Xian Yang
PhD in Physics (2015)
BSc in Physics (1st Class Hons, 2009)
I am a physics tutor based in Singapore. I graduated with BSc and PhD degrees in Physics, both fully funded by scholarships. See my certificates.
I teach IB physics, and have been offering 1-on-1 tuition over the years. Students may find physics a difficult subject despite the hard work and long hours they have put in. Sometimes they don’t know what they are supposed to provide in an exam
Let me assure you that physics can be learned and there are methods to do it well. Learn physics with me and I will guide you to grasp the subject quick. Reach me today to arrange for a free trial lesson!

A Graduate of Nanyang Technological University
Education
2015 – PhD in Physics
Nanyang Technological University
This is a 4-year program where I was required to take advanced graduate-level physics modules and conduct my own research project. See my PhD Thesis. My PhD study was funded by NTU Research Scholarship.
2009 – BSc in Physics (1st Class Honors)
Nanyang Technological University
This is a 4-year program covering the theoretical and applied physics modules. My degree study was funded by Nanyang Scholarship.
Teaching Experience
Since 2005 I have been actively teaching university classroom tutorial (10-30 pax tutorial) for various physics modules, as well as 1-on-1 coaching where junior students came to me with their tutorial questions on every Wednesday.
After my graduation in 2015, I started offering 1-on-1 physics tuition for International Baccalaureate (IB) and junior colleague (JC) physics students.

Research Experience
In 2011, I was visiting the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) for a few weeks. I met the professors and students there and exchanged ideas of physics.
In 2010, I was visiting the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) for a collaboration project using their High Energy X-ray Facilities.
2009-2014: Back in my home university (NTU), I spent days and night to develop and refine my ideas and research apparatus for physics experiments.
