About Nithin M.

Nithin M. holds a PhD in Physics with a specialisation in Planetary Radio Astronomy — a field that sits at the intersection of observational astronomy, electromagnetic wave propagation, and planetary science. Prior to joining My Physics Buddy, he served as an Assistant Professor of Physics at St. Thomas College, Thrissur and at St. Xavier’s College, Jaipur — two well-regarded Indian undergraduate institutions — giving him direct experience of designing and delivering Physics courses at university level.

Nithin M. teaches Electromagnetism, Waves and Optics, Thermodynamics, and Physics across high school and undergraduate levels. His teaching approach draws directly on his university lecturing background — sessions are structured, concept-first, and methodical, moving from core principles through to worked examples and then independent problem solving by the student. His research background in Radio Astronomy enriches his teaching of Electromagnetism and Wave Physics in particular, allowing him to connect textbook theory to real observational science in ways that make the subject come alive. He is experienced in explaining Physics to students across a wide range of starting points, from those encountering the subject formally for the first time to undergraduates revisiting and deepening their understanding.


“Nithin explains Electromagnetism in a way that feels completely natural — he starts from the physical picture, builds up the mathematics, and suddenly everything clicks. His experience as a professor shows immediately; the sessions are structured, paced perfectly, and nothing is left vague.”

How Sessions With Nithin M. Work

  1. Diagnostic Assessment: The first session begins by establishing your current understanding of the subject, identifying specific gaps or areas of confusion, and clarifying your goal — whether that is an upcoming exam, a specific topic causing difficulty, or a desire to build a stronger overall foundation in Physics.
  2. Concept-First Explanation: Drawing on his university lecturing background, Nithin M. introduces each topic from first principles — building the physical picture clearly before introducing the mathematical treatment. No step is skipped and no assumption is made about prior understanding without first checking it.
  3. Worked Examples: Each concept is followed by carefully selected worked examples that demonstrate how the theory applies in practice. Examples are chosen to reflect the types of questions students encounter in their specific curriculum or examination.
  4. Guided Student Practice: You then work through problems yourself under Nithin M.’s direct guidance. He observes your approach, corrects misconceptions in real time, and helps you build confident, independent problem-solving technique.
  5. Past Paper and Exam Technique: For students preparing for examinations, sessions incorporate systematic past paper practice, with attention to examination technique, mark scheme logic, and how to present answers clearly for maximum marks.
  6. Session Feedback and Summary: At the close of each session, Nithin M. summarises what was covered, flags any areas to revisit, and agrees on what to practise before the next meeting to consolidate progress.
  7. Between-Session Support: Follow-up questions and brief clarifications between sessions are coordinated through the MPB WhatsApp team, ensuring you are supported continuously throughout your learning.

Whether you are preparing for a high school Physics examination, working through an undergraduate Electromagnetism or Thermodynamics course, or simply trying to build a solid and lasting understanding of Physics from a former university professor — clear, structured, research-informed support is available now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How experienced is Nithin M. in Physics teaching?

Nithin M. brings a combination of credentials that is rare in online tutoring: a PhD in Physics with a research specialisation in Planetary Radio Astronomy, and direct experience as an Assistant Professor at two Indian undergraduate colleges — St. Thomas College, Thrissur and St. Xavier’s College, Jaipur. This means students benefit from both the depth of a trained researcher and the structured pedagogical approach of a practised university-level lecturer.

What levels does Nithin M. teach?

Nithin M. teaches Physics from high school and secondary level through to undergraduate. His core subjects — Electromagnetism, Waves and Optics, Thermodynamics, and general Physics — are covered across IGCSE, A/AS Level, AP Physics, and equivalent undergraduate curricula.
