About

Born in South America and educated across international schools in different countries, Salomon graduated from his IB school in Brazil as **valedictorian** before earning his Bachelor's at Seoul National University. He speaks **four languages** and has been teaching since 2002, covering everything from private tutoring to corporate engineer training for global enterprises. He is the **author of a published IB Physics textbook** (available via Aladin), and is currently completing his PGCE (international school teaching qualification) at the University of Leicester.

Teaching Style

Multimedia and tangible learning

Lessons are more than lectures: Salomon uses multimedia, demonstrations and activities where students take part, to make abstract physics concepts tangible and memorable.

Question-type drilling and strategy

Lessons combine targeted question-type drills with past-paper strategy work, dealing with common points of confusion before they hold students back.

Computer Science from fundamentals

Covers Java (especially Netbeans) and Python from the basics through to a finished IA project — building genuine programming competence.

Best for: Physics students who learn through demonstration and engagement, or Computer Science students coding their IA
