Who This Tutoring Is For

Samiksha’s tutoring is designed for school and early undergraduate students who need clear, structured, and patient support in Physics and Calculus, particularly those preparing for board exams, competitive entrance tests, or foundational university-level coursework.

  • You are a high school student preparing for board examinations — CBSE, ICSE, or state board — and need thorough, syllabus-aligned support in Physics.
  • You are a student preparing for competitive entrance examinations such as JEE, NEET, or CUET where strong Physics and Calculus foundations are essential.
  • You are a first-year undergraduate student encountering university-level Physics or Calculus for the first time and need structured support to keep pace with the course.
  • You are a student who finds abstract Physics concepts difficult to visualise and need a tutor who explains clearly in plain terms before introducing mathematical treatment.
  • Students who have gaps in their Physics or mathematics knowledge from earlier schooling and need targeted catch-up support before an important exam or academic milestone.
  • You are an international student following an English-medium Physics or mathematics curriculum and benefit from a tutor who communicates clearly and adapts to your pace.

About Samiksha Y.

Samiksha Y. holds an M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Allahabad, one of India’s oldest and most respected central universities, with a particular academic interest in non-linear optics. She also holds a B.Sc. in Physics from Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Remote Sensing from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi — demonstrating a strong applied science background alongside her core Physics training. Samiksha has worked as a PGT Physics teacher, giving her direct classroom experience with school-level Physics curricula and the specific challenges students face when preparing for board examinations and competitive entrance tests.

Samiksha teaches Physics from school level through early undergraduate, and Calculus at school and pre-university level. Her teaching philosophy centres on making Physics accessible — beginning with clear, plain-language explanations of concepts before introducing mathematical formalism, so that students build genuine understanding rather than surface-level familiarity with formulae. She uses a structured session format: identify the gap, rebuild the concept from the ground up, work through representative problems, and consolidate with targeted practice. This approach is particularly effective for students who have developed a fear of Physics or mathematics through earlier negative experiences. Her analytical and problem-solving background — developed across her M.Sc. and her professional work — informs the rigour she brings to even introductory-level topics.


“Samiksha has a real gift for making concepts feel straightforward. I had been struggling with Optics and Waves for months, and in two sessions she explained it in a way that finally made complete sense. Her patience and clarity make a genuine difference.”

— Class 12 Physics student, My Physics Buddy platform review


All sessions take place on Google Meet, coordinated by the My Physics Buddy team. Samiksha works primarily with school students — from Class 9 through Class 12 — and early undergraduate students in Physics and Calculus. Between sessions, students can raise follow-up questions through the MPB WhatsApp channel. Post-session summaries are available on request at no additional cost, giving students a clear record to refer back to during self-study.

“Samiksha’s explanations are always calm, methodical, and perfectly pitched. She understands exactly where students get stuck — probably because she has taught in a real classroom — and she addresses those exact points directly. My daughter’s Physics grades improved significantly after just a few weeks of sessions.”

— Parent of a Class 11 student, My Physics Buddy platform review


How Sessions With Samiksha Work

  1. Diagnostic Assessment: Samiksha begins every session by identifying exactly where the student’s understanding is breaking down. She asks targeted questions to distinguish between conceptual confusion, mathematical difficulty, or a gap in foundational knowledge from earlier schooling — each of which requires a different response.
  2. Plain-Language Concept Building: Before any equations are introduced, Samiksha explains the physical concept in clear, accessible language. This is particularly important for abstract topics like electromagnetism or modern physics, where students often memorise formulae without understanding what they represent. Her approach aligns with evidence-based Physics teaching practice supported by the Institute of Physics education programme.
  3. Structured Mathematical Treatment: Once the physical concept is clear, Samiksha introduces the relevant mathematics systematically — derivations, formulae, and their conditions of applicability. For Calculus sessions, she connects mathematical techniques directly to their Physics applications, making both subjects more meaningful in parallel.
  4. Guided Problem Practice: The student works through problems during the session with Samiksha guiding approach and method in real time. She does not simply provide answers — she narrates the reasoning process at each step so the student can replicate it independently in an exam setting.
  5. Exam Technique & Board Alignment: For students preparing for board examinations or competitive entrance tests such as JEE or NEET, Samiksha applies her PGT classroom experience to align practice with the specific question styles, marking schemes, and time-management demands of those assessments.
  6. Immediate Feedback: Errors in reasoning, method, or calculation are corrected at the point they occur — with a focus on preventing those errors from becoming habits before an examination. Feedback is specific and constructive, not generic.
  7. Session Summary & Practice Plan: At the end of each session, Samiksha summarises what was covered and recommends specific practice questions or textbook exercises for the student to attempt before the next session. Post-session summaries are available on request at no additional cost.
Whether you are preparing for CBSE or ICSE board exams, working toward JEE or NEET, or simply trying to build a solid Physics foundation before university, Samiksha brings classroom teaching experience and M.Sc.-level subject knowledge to every session. Clear, patient, and structured — exactly what school Physics requires. Message Samiksha on WhatsApp today.

Frequently Asked Questions

How experienced is Samiksha in Physics teaching?

Samiksha has one year of formal classroom experience as a PGT Physics teacher — a nationally recognised qualification in India for teaching Physics at the senior secondary level. This is formal, evaluated school teaching, not informal private tutoring alone. Her M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Allahabad provides strong subject-level depth, and her academic interest in non-linear optics gives her a research-informed perspective even when teaching foundational topics to school-level students.

What levels does Samiksha teach?

Samiksha teaches primarily at high school level — Class 9 through Class 12 — covering CBSE, ICSE, and state board syllabi. She also supports early undergraduate students in foundational Physics and Calculus modules. Her subject depth from her M.Sc. means she is well-equipped to handle the full range of school Physics topics without needing to stay close to the textbook, and can give students richer explanations than a standard classroom setting typically allows.

Does Samiksha help with assignments and exam preparation?

Yes. Samiksha provides guided support for Physics and Calculus assignments, problem sets, and board exam preparation under MPB’s academic integrity policy — meaning she helps students understand the method and reasoning so they can complete and submit their own work with confidence. For board examination preparation, she brings PGT classroom experience of how examiners assess answers, which allows her to help students structure their responses effectively.

What happens in the first session with Samiksha?

The first session begins with a short diagnostic conversation to understand your current class or year, the chapter or topic you are working on, and the specific point where you are getting stuck. Samiksha then structures the session around your most immediate need — often a concept that has been confusing for some time. By the end of the first session, most students have both made progress on the target topic and agreed a plan for how subsequent sessions will address their broader syllabus or exam timeline.

How is Samiksha different from a general Physics tutor?

Samiksha holds an M.Sc. in Physics from one of India’s oldest central universities and has taught Physics formally in a school classroom as a PGT teacher — meaning her understanding of the school Physics syllabus is both academically grounded and practically tested. She knows where students consistently struggle in the CBSE and ICSE curricula and addresses those exact pain points systematically. Her calm, structured teaching style makes her particularly effective for students who have developed anxiety around Physics or Calculus.


“Structured, subject-specialist teaching at the school level — particularly in Physics — has a measurable and lasting impact on student outcomes. Teachers who combine strong academic backgrounds with direct classroom experience are best placed to address both conceptual gaps and examination performance in a single, cohesive tutoring approach.”

— Consistent with findings on Physics teacher effectiveness from the Institute of Physics Teacher Education programme and research documented in the Physical Review Physics Education Research journal


Can Samiksha help with both Physics and Calculus in the same session?

Yes. Because Calculus underpins a significant portion of school and early undergraduate Physics — particularly in topics like kinematics, electromagnetism, and waves — Samiksha can address both within a session when needed. If a student is struggling with a Physics problem because of a gap in their Calculus knowledge, she addresses that gap in context, making the mathematics immediately relevant rather than treating it as a separate subject.

Does Samiksha help with JEE, NEET, or other competitive entrance test preparation?

Yes. Samiksha’s M.Sc. Physics background and PGT teaching experience cover the full Physics syllabus that underpins JEE and NEET preparation. She can work through topic-by-topic concept building and problem-solving practice specifically aligned with competitive entrance test question styles. Students preparing for CUET, state-level entrance examinations, or international equivalents such as AP Physics or IGCSE Physics will also find her school-level subject expertise directly relevant.

  • Truly A Gem

    We had tried multiple tutors before—honestly, quite frustrating—with no real progress. So when we found this tutor through MPB, I approached it analytically, tracking session quality, concept clarity, and my son’s confidence over time. Well, the results spoke clearly. His understanding of core physics concepts improved measurably, and his performance at Georgia Institute of Technology reflected that. The structured sessions, consistent communication through WhatsApp, and the trial option made the entire process low-risk and highly effective. Wow, what a difference the right tutor makes. Highly recommended for any Georgia Tech student struggling with physics.

  • Skeptical No More, Truly Responsive

    I was doubtful at first, but this tutor is genuinely a hero to physics students—responsive and quick to reply to every message.

    Ghulam Al Shihi, 14 sessions with Samiksha Y in Physics, Northwestern University

  • Disappointing Experience

    I’ve been working with Samiksha Y over the past semester, and while she’s undeniably quick in solving even the most complex problems, I feel the sessions could’ve been more effective. My biggest concern is that she rarely provided practice problems between sessions. For a subject like Physics, consistent practice outside of class time is crucial for building confidence and retaining concepts. Despite her strong problem-solving skills, the lack of supplementary material between sessions left me underprepared at times. I’d hope to see more structured take-home practice included going forward.
