Teaching Style
Salomon’s classroom doesn’t rely on board-and-marker lecturing. He uses multimedia, demonstrations, and student-participation activities to make physics tangible. Lessons combine question-type drills with past-paper strategy work, and he pre-anticipates every doubt a student might raise. For IB Computer Science, he covers Java (especially Netbeans) and Python from fundamentals through to the IA project.
