Nihar Mahapatra

I am Nihar Mahapatra, a passionate and dedicated Physics educator with over 16 years of teaching experience, specializing in high school physics for classes 9 to 12. I hold a Master’s degree in Physics (M.Sc.) and have an extensive background in teaching across prestigious schools and colleges in India, particularly within international curricula like IBDP and IGCSE.

My teaching journey began in 2006, and since then, I have taught at renowned institutions such as Vidyalankar, Pune and Zemms +2 Science College, Bhubaneswar. I have also served as a lecturer in Physics at Gandhi Engineering College and Silicon Institute of Technology, Odisha, where I taught undergraduate students and built a strong foundation in academic instruction.

As IBDP Physics teacher in JBCN International School, Oshiwara, Mumbai from 2022- till date
As IBDP Physics teacher in Aditya Birla World Academy, Mumbai, Maharashtra from 2018-2022
As IBDP Physics teacher in Pathways World School, Gurgaon, Haryana from 2016-2018
As a Physics faculty at MIT Gurukul World School, Pune, and teaching IB and IGCSE board from 2015-2016
As an Assistant Professor of Physicsatn Silicon Institute Of Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 2010-2015
As a lecturer in Physics at Gandhi Engineering College, Bhubaneswar, Odisha from 2010-2015
As a lecturer in Physics at Zemms +2 Science College, Bhubaneswar, Odisha from 2009-2010
As a faculty of physics in Vidyalankar, Pune, Maharashtra, from 2006-2009.

From 2015 onwards, I shifted my focus toward international school education. I have worked as an IBDP Physics teacher at MIT Gurukul World School, Pathways World School (Gurgaon), and Aditya Birla World Academy (Mumbai). Currently, I serve as a Physics faculty member at JBCN International School, Oshiwara, Mumbai, where I continue to guide IB students toward academic excellence.

I am an IB-certified Physics teacher and examiner, with experience evaluating IBDP examinations and helping students understand what it takes to succeed. My classes are well-structured and combine both conceptual clarity and real-world applications, which are vital for excelling in Physics.

In my online classes, I ensure a hands-on learning experience through simulations, virtual labs, and problem-solving sessions using past papers. This approach not only prepares students for board exams but also enhances their critical thinking and analytical skills.

I make extensive use of presentations, online simulations, and interactive tools to explain challenging concepts in a simple and engaging way. I also provide well-organized notes, worksheets, and assignments to support self-study and long-term retention of topics.

My teaching philosophy is student-centered, and I strive to create a space where learners feel comfortable exploring, questioning, and applying physics to their surroundings. Whether you're preparing for board exams or pursuing physics at a deeper level, I am here to guide you with a structured, result-oriented approach.
