Physics Owls by Latoya van der Meer

Latoya helped me prepare for physics section of the NSAA admissions test for my Cambridge application, in which I scored well enough to get shortlisted for an interview. Her style of explaining physics was very meticulous and precise which makes her one of the best tutors I’ve met.

Overall, Latoya is a great teacher with a genuine passion in teaching and education. She always goes through the material, questions, exams and finds a way to simplify it and explain it in the easiest way possible. When having difficulty to understand something, she is patient and able to change and adapt her teaching strategies to suit your learning style. Personality wise, she is kind, funny and easy to talk to which makes her classes very engaging. She always tries to show the fun side of physics, which is highly useful if you are having a hard time loving physics (like me: p). 100% would recommend!

Latoya was my A-level Physics teacher for 2 years. She was dedicated, articulate and fun (and way over-qualified for teaching high school physics). She was also compassionate, kind and relatable in real life. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a Physics tutor. She is without a doubt the best Physics teacher I have ever had.

A-Level proved extremely tough for me, but in a remarkable turn of events, I met Latoya. She is patient, kind, always available and always helpful. Her teaching is extremely effective and the lectures are always and every time challenging to the right point in order to keep you push your limits. With her as a teacher I managed to improve not only my grades but also my problem solving skills in my every day life. She truly is an amazing teacher with strong expertise and experience in teaching international students. I would highly recommend her to any fellow student.

Latoya is undoubtedly one of the best tutors I've been with so far. She has a way of teaching that makes me genuinely excited for her class. She made a challenging subject such as physics understandable. She is patient, understanding and kind. A teacher like her is extremely rare these days, and I consider myself lucky to stumble across her. I wouldn't make it through A1 without her. Hence why I would definitely recommend her.

I had a more than pleasant learning experience with Latoya. She made physics easier to understand and enjoyable. Her teaching technique works well with me as she is flexible and tries to understand teenagers like me and adjust the way she approaches her students. She is also less strict than most teachers I've met before but she still keeps me in line. I managed to learn more from her during the time I've had her as a teacher than other physics teachers. I think I am more than lucky to have had her as my teacher, especially physics as it is a pretty tough subject.

Latoya has a unique way of teaching, which is very hard to find nowadays. She has the talent of being able to explain complex information in a simplified matter without losing any of the key points and then gradually adding more to it, making it easy for the person she is tutoring to understand. When teaching, her goal is to teach her students in an enjoyable way, so that their interest for the subject grows and they feel motivated to dive deeper into the medium, eager to learn more. She is also very patient and her students’ wellbeing is of utmost importance for her. She is truly one of the best teachers I’ve had up until now.

Latoya is the best tutor I’ve seen so far, she made physics easy to understand and clear. She helped me with every single part of physics that I don’t understand, she’s very patient at explaining the subject. She helped me until I understand the problem and her tips in breaking down the questions helped a lot than other tutors that I’ve been taught before.

It was key to get a great grade on my A-levels physics. In the beginning I was really struggling with maths and physics concepts. So the program helped me to build the fundamentals and to understand how to score more points in my exams.

Latoya has helped me not only with A2 materials but also went through A1 materials all in one year. The learning experience I've had with her for physics was far better than with any other physics teacher I've ever had. She is incredibly patient, understanding and kind to everyone as well as make physics easy to understand.
