Leaving certificate​ physics grinds and tutors – preparation course​

Physics is a hard degree to get into and most often the universities in Ireland require you to have a leaving certificate. Luckily for you, UniProf can help you prepare for the final exam.

What is a leaving certificate?

A leaving certificate is the final exam of the Irish secondary school system and often the university admission examination in Ireland. It takes a minimum of two years' preparation, but an optional Transition Year means that for those students it takes place three years after the Junior Certificate Examination. The Examination is overseen by the State Examinations Commission.

What are the criteria for a leaving certificate?

In order to achieve a leaving certificate you will need to at least have 6 exam subjects, of which at least 2 subjects are higher level with a result of A, B or C or with a result of H1-H4 (depending on the grading system) Each subject is examined at one of three levels, Higher Level (informally called Honours), Ordinary Level (informally Pass), or Foundation Level. Foundation Level may only be taken in two subjects: Irish and Mathematics. All other subjects may be taken at either Ordinary or Higher Level.

Experienced Online Tutor of Mathematics and Physics

Souvik G.

Speaks: Bengali, English, Hindi

Hi, I am Souvik, a full-time online tutor of Mathematics and Physics from India. I completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering in 2010 from Jadavpur University. Then I joined an oil marketing company and worked for 7 years, being posted at various locations in India. In 2017, I left the job to pursue a career in teaching and academics. Since then, I am completely involved in freelancing, private tutoring, and academic work. Since my early school days, Science, especially Mathematics and Physics, were my favorite subjects. I used to tutor on 10+2 level Mathematics during my college days. Currently, I am tutoring students in high school Mathematics and Physics. Education does not mean just gathering information but rather delving deep into the subject for a complete understanding. I believe a student must have a clear concept of the subject to excel. So, I always try to teach in detail, citing practical examples as much as possible, invoking inquisitiveness in them, and encouraging them to ask questions. In my opinion, teaching is two-way traffic as the teacher also learns something new from the student while tutoring. Apart from work, I like playing Chess; watching movies, especially documentaries, sci-fi, and superhero movies. Also, I am an avid reader and spend most of my leisure time reading science fiction, novels, scientific journals, etc. And of course, I LOVE MATH and PHYSICS!!!

University College Dublin

MSc (Space Science & Technology)

Sep 2019 - Sep 2020

Verified

My degree in space science has profoundly influenced my approach as a teacher. Space science is a field that thrives on curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to see connections across disciplines. These qualities have become foundational to my teaching philosophy. Space science also instilled in me a deep appreciation for interdisciplinary learning. The field integrates physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering, and even philosophy. This breadth has shaped how I design my lessons, blending subjects and emphasizing the real-world applications of what we learn in the classroom. Moreover, the problem-solving skills I honed as a space science student influence how I teach critical thinking. Space science often involves addressing complex, unsolved problems, which taught me resilience, collaboration, and creativity—skills I aim to cultivate in my students. I encourage them to approach challenges with confidence and to see failures as stepping stones to success.

University of Granada

Chemistry

Sep 2018 - Jul 2022

During my Chemistry degree at the University of Granada, I developed a strong foundation in general, physical, and organic chemistry, as well as laboratory techniques and scientific reasoning. This academic background has been essential in shaping my teaching approach, allowing me to explain complex topics clearly and connect theory with practical applications. It has also trained me to guide students through scientific thinking, problem-solving, and structured learning, which I apply in every lesson I teach.

Doyle Lab

Research Intern

Jun 2021 - Aug 2021

As part of the Doyle Lab, I conducted research in the field of AMO physics (atomic, molecular, and optical physics) with a focus on using molecular spectroscopy to develop future molecular laser-cooling mechanisms. My main role was to design a computer algorithm for the analysis of experimental data, which involved finding best-fit functions for spectroscopic data. The research ultimately led to a publication in Nature Chemistry.

Master's student offering physics tutoring

Michael F.

I have six years of physics tutoring and teaching experience. I have a Bachelor's degree in physics, and my coursework involved studying classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum computing, laser and optical physics, general relativity, and the philosophy of physics. I have also conducted research in the field of atomic, molecular, and optical physics.

Regarding my teaching experience, I have tutored students in classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism at both the secondary school and university levels. My classroom teaching experience comes through my past work as an undergraduate course assistant in university classes on electrodynamics and quantum mechanics.
