I recently earned my Master’s degree in Physics from the City College of New York and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Astronomy from Stony Brook University. At CCNY, I worked as a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics courses, leading recitations, guiding labs, and helping students build strong problem-solving skills in mechanics and electricity and magnetism. I have experience working with high school and college students in classroom settings, small groups, and one-on-one sessions, including supporting math and AP-level courses at the high school level.

My teaching approach focuses on building real understanding rather than memorization. I break complex problems into clear, logical steps and emphasize the reasoning behind each step so students can apply the same ideas independently. Many students I work with initially feel overwhelmed, and I focus on strengthening their foundation and guiding them through structured practice.

For AP Physics, I take a structured and goal-oriented approach. I encourage students to come prepared with specific topics or problems so we can use our time effectively. Sessions focus on conceptual understanding, multi-step problem solving, and AP-style questions to prepare for exams.

In addition to standard math and physics courses, I can also help with discrete mathematics and advanced astrophysics topics such as cosmology, stars and radiation, galaxies, and computational astrophysics.

Approved Subjects

Astronomy

Astronomy

Master’s degree in Physics with research focus in astrophysics and general relativity. Published research in relativistic light propagation and black hole physics (currently in peer review). Experience teaching physics at the college level, including mechanics, electromagnetism, and mathematical methods. Background in high-energy astrophysics, compact objects (black holes and neutron stars), and observational interpretation. Comfortable mentoring students interested in academic pathways such as instrumentation, data analysis, theoretical astrophysics, or high-energy research.
Calculus

Calculus

M.S. in Physics with strong background in multivariable calculus, vector calculus, and differential equations. I regularly use advanced calculus in physics research, including partial derivatives, multiple integrals, line and surface integrals, and vector fields. Experienced tutoring high school and college-level calculus with focus on conceptual clarity and structured problem solving.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I hold a Master’s degree in Physics and have a strong background in differential equations through both coursework and research. My training includes ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and boundary value problems, with applications in physics such as wave equations, eigenvalue problems, and Sturm–Liouville theory. I have experience solving and teaching first- and second-order ODEs, systems of equations, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, and PDEs. I also apply these concepts in advanced topics such as general relativity and computational physics. As a tutor, I focus on helping students understand the underlying concepts and develop strong problem-solving skills, not just memorizing procedures.
Physics

Physics

I hold a master’s degree in physics from the City College of New York, with advanced training in mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. I have experience supporting undergraduate physics courses and guiding students through problem-solving and exam preparation. I focus on building strong conceptual understanding alongside clear mathematical reasoning.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I completed Graduate Quantum Mechanics I & II during my M.S. in Physics at the City College of New York. These courses covered wave mechanics, Schrödinger equation techniques, operator methods, angular momentum, perturbation theory, spin systems, and identical particles. In addition, I completed coursework in Quantum Computation and participated in a Quantum Computing Lab, where I studied quantum gates, qubits, entanglement, and basic quantum algorithms. I have experience guiding students through both the mathematical foundations and conceptual structure of quantum mechanics, including problem solving involving eigenvalue equations, matrix representations, and Dirac notation.

Knowledgeable and patient

We had a session on Wronskians and Linear Independence, and he detailed every part of the question, with each corresponding formula, step by step. I had a great session with Shakibul C. I was so happy after our session, no longer feeling stuck doing 1 problem an hour. I can finally breathe easy, now that he is helping me. Thank you so much!!

Ashanti, 2 lessons with Shakibul

Excellent tutor

I am very pleased with the tutoring my daughter has received for her University Physics II course. His teaching skills are excellent, and he explains concepts in a way that makes them much easier to understand. One aspect I especially appreciate is his outstanding communication. He keeps me informed with timely updates on the progress of each class and is extremely quick to respond to text messages, which gives me confidence that my daughter is receiving the support she needs. He has taken the time to conduct periodic assessment tests to evaluate her understanding and identify areas where she needed additional help. He then focused on strengthening those weaker areas, which has been very reassuring as a parent. My daughter feels comfortable with his teaching approach and enjoys the online sessions. She appears more confident and engaged with the subject, and that speaks volumes about his ability to connect with his students. Based on our experience so far, I am very happy with his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to helping students succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated Physics tutor. I will be happy to provide an update after the semester begins, sharing how the tutoring has helped my daughter during her actual Physics II classes and how she feels about the course as it progresses.

Proactive Present Knowledgeable

Shakibul is a great teacher. He simplifies all theories and concepts and goes through several practice questions to ensure you have a good understanding. He even follows up after the lesson with notes and more practice questions.

Miriam, 27 lessons with Shakibul

Incredible tutor dedicated and attentive

He was so patient and went through each topic thoroughly and even went so far as to provide custom made study materials to help study for an exam. Super responsive and always goes the extra mile. I had tried other tutors but he was the absolute best!

Lorie, 10 lessons with Shakibul

10000000/10 physics tutor—kind and committed

I could not possibly recommend Shakibul more. He saved me on my most recent physics exam, going out of his way to meet with me at odd hours and for as long as I needed. He was personally invested in my success and would work in the times we were not meeting to come up with better ways to explain the problems and to write up solutions for me. If you want a tutor who will be kind and committed, Shakibul is 100% the right tutor for you.

Sofia, 6 lessons with Shakibul

Knowledgeable and prepared Tutor

He is helping my daughter with geometry and is very patient and accommodating with her schedule. He makes sure he is prepared for each lesson which helps maximize time and content covered. She feels much better in class and more confident before quizzes. 15/10 recommend using him
