Sonal Gupta IB Physics & Math SME - Chief Learning Officer
24 Reviews

Currently I am an IB Physics & Math teacher at International School of Latvia and the Chief Learning Officer of Tribetopper

I am a highly qualified Subject Matter Expert of Physics and Math, very well versed in teaching different grades and boards (IB, IGSCE, CBSE and ICSE). I have taught full time in traditional school system and from last 8 years I am doing e- content development and online tutoring. I am an author of science books and co founder and CLO of an Ed Tech platform named Tribe Topper. (Tribe topper focusses on proviidng support courses in Physics, Math, Chemistry, Biology and Economics for IB and IGCSE board.

My Teaching style is a mixture of Facilitator and Hybrid. I adopt an integrated teaching style that incorporates students personality, preferences and interests into their teaching. I also tailor my tutoring for different pupils, incorporating extra-curricular knowledge to develop a deeper knowledge of a particular topic.
I ask students to question rather than simply have the answer given to them. I feel this way helps to promote self-discovery and develop problem-solving skills, which can often lead to the student developing a much deeper understanding of the topic.

Currently I have students from Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Gulf Countries and European Countries in addition to India (Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai and Gurgaon).

I believe that my Masters in Education has helped me relate to the students better and I cater my subject knowledge according to the students caliber. I have a vast experience in my subject so I give different situations and solutions to the students

I prefer to do a 30 minute demo on complimentary basis with the student so that he or she understand my teaching style and I can understand the kids phychology. I also do monthly one to one calls with parents to give feedback and get feedback.

My sole aim is to help grow confidence, remove the fear of subject and develop a "yes I can" attitude among the students for them to score better and higher in their chosen subject.

Subject Expert

My daughter was really struggling to deal with her HL physics for her IB DP. It was such a big sigh of relief when we’ve got Sonal . My daughter slowly grew her confidence with each passing day . Sonal is very approachable and understanding.My daughter is very impressed with the way she explains the concepts, simple but effective . Her vast experience is such a boon for her students . Best wishes to you Sonal!!!!

Kindness, Compassion and Expertise

in December of 2021, our school found ourselves short one staff member due to family commitments and Covid related pressures. Sonal stepped in to help us through zoom offering two groups of DP physics students professional and dedicated support helping the Grade 12s prepare for their DP exams, and helping the Grade 11s develop their foundational understanding of the course. Through her expertise and immensely compassionate guidance our students feel confident enough not only to face their end of year exams next week, but to begin their Group 4 projects, plan their IAs, and two have even chosen Physics as their subject for EE. We have been delighted with her work with our school, and I would recommend her to any organization in need of a Physics or Math teacher who will put students first and meet students where they are to help get where they need to go.

A tutor who cares.

Sonal is outstanding. Not only does she distill the core knowledge down into accessible parts, she cares about the child’s well being. She has tutored two of our children with much success. They both have continued to seek her guidance through their high school studies. You can feel comfortable knowing that Sonal will help your child.

Very dedicated and skilled tutor!

I am a 4th year bachelor's student in my university, and have been struggling as coronavirus has moved all of my classes online. My lessons with Ms. Gupta have been much more helpful than my own professor's video lectures, and she's very quick to adapt to students' needs and to different curriculums. Her clear explanations and easy to understand examples have helped me a great deal.

Exceptional IB Maths and Physics tutor

Sonal changed my daughter's lackluster and indifference attitude to a high performance and motivated student in Maths and Physics HL. 7 star tutor.

Result Oriented, Excellent teacher.

We are so glad to have found Sonal for teaching Math and Science to our daughters. We live in NZ and Sonal teaches weekly lessons to our year 10 and year 8 girls. They attend twice a week lessons and we have seen very good exam results in our girls.

Sonal is well versed with International Syllabus and very good in teaching. I would recommend Sonal for anyone who is looking for high quality, efficient teacher.

Highly skilled, committed, capable. excellent English communication

We are so glad to have found Sonal to be our daughter’s physics teacher though we lives thousands of miles away in Canada. It is important to note that that she is a teacher and NOT just a tutor who can help a child revise. My 14 year old daughter (Grade 9) has a keen interest in math and Sonal has taken that and created an enjoyment and interest in physics so much so that my daughter is now keen to take this subject for her IB Diploma. She is a very competent teacher and takes a genuine interest in the student and has built a warm rapport with my daughter. Her communication and interaction with the student and the parent is precise, articulate and very prompt. Her command of English is excellent so she is able to be an effective teacher to a child from any part of the world. I highly recommend her to any student who is looking to excel in the subject.

Great maths teacher

Very nice teacher who explains everything slowly and repeats if needed. Uses all kinds of practice materials in order to give sufficient questions to improve ability and confidence. Helps during and after class by sending videos she makes herself on specific questions that are hard. Classes are online and very successful.
I have improved a lot, thanks.

Excellent Physics teacher

Sonal Gupta is one of those teachers who will help to understand any topic easily by explaining everything in detail particular to that topic. Her classes are very interactive, and she gives excellent analogical examples. My son takes IB Physics HL tuition and her knowledge and experience have helped him to improve his confidence in Physics. I will highly recommend her.

Excellent Teacher and Counselor

For the past one year, Ms. Sonal has not only helped my ward academically but morally as well. According to my ward, Ms. Sonal was one of the best teachers to have guided her in her most crucial year and has helped her achieve extremely satisfactory marks. She always motivated and supported my daughter which further strived her to perform her best in the board examinations. She is not only an excellent and highly qualified educator but an equally wonderful counselor as well.

Great science teacher

We have been very happy so far with Sonal's teaching for our 9th grader. Her sessions have been very interactive and well paced. This was our first attempt at online teaching and were skeptical. But we are glad we found sonal.

Sonal Ma'am has been an absolute pleasure to learn from. Her professional attitude ensures that she is present and punctual for every online session. Her devoted mindset has helped me improve in my respective subject and the results are visible with every test/exam I have given after starting classes with her. Moving forward I am confident she will help me improve my understanding and I hope to continue on this learning journey with her. Thank You, Ma'am.

Difference in Coaching

When Harish took class for Math and Science with Sonal Madam, he had issues with basic understanding despite several coaching classes with other Tutors. Basis our discussion, the approach from Day 1 has been different and catered to his understanding. This really helped him to excel and get better marks. He loves his tuition class and eagerness to learn more has gone up. This is top notch coaching. I wish her all the very best and will recommend to parents for utilizing her coaching for better results.

One of the best teachers I've ever met

Mrs Sonal is one of the most kind, helping, motivating and intelligent teacher I've ever met. She has helped me pull myself up when I was at a low point in my academics and in my mental health, she never gave up on me no matter what, and seeing that gave me the motivation to strive for better. I believe that students going through difficult situation would benefit highly from a teacher like her.
