Information About Francois-Xavier - Raglan tutor

Personal Description:

I'm a qualified tutor with a Master’s in Nanotechnology and Materials, along with over 10 years of experience in New Zealand. As a project manager in solar energy and someone passionate about teaching, I love helping students grasp physics and chemistry concepts and see how they apply in the real world. Whether you’re preparing for NCEA exams or just need extra support, I focus on clear, practical explanations tailored to your needs. Available for both online and in-person sessions in Raglan and Auckland.

Tutoring Experience:

With a Master’s in Nanotechnology and over a decade in New Zealand, I bring both scientific expertise and a practical approach to tutoring. Alongside my professional background in renewable energy, I have extensive teaching experience, from supporting my eight nephews across all school levels to helping colleagues’ children globally. I’m also an experienced surf instructor at Solscape and a kitesurf, wing foil, and eFoil instructor with Adrenaline Alley. My love for teaching extends beyond academics—I make science relatable and engaging for all ages.

Tutoring Approach:

Inspired by my mother, a lifelong teacher, I believe that great teaching requires true mastery of the subject. That’s why I focus on subjects I’m passionate about and strive to make complex ideas simple and clear. My goal is to ensure that every concept in physics or chemistry is understood at a fundamental level, so students can build confidence and curiosity.
