About Tk
I have been teaching Plus-Two Physics for over fifty years. For thirty-five of those (1977–2012), I was the Senior Physics Teacher and Head of the Plus-Two Department at St. Thomas' Boys' School, Kidderpore, Kolkata.
I am the author of an ISC Physics workbook used by Class XI and XII candidates, and I have appeared as a Physics subject-matter expert on Doordarshan Bangla's nationally telecast pre-board revision program.
Over the same decades I have led teacher-training and student workshops in Physics at top schools across India. This includes both theory & practical classes.

My students
I teach Class XI and Class XII Physics — for the ISC and CBSE boards.
Whether your child is aiming for a top board score or building the conceptual base for engineering entrance exams, my classes are planned around what they actually need.
My approach
My teaching is concept-first. I do not begin a chapter with the formula — I begin with where the formula comes from.
The diagrams are drawn live on the screen, the derivations are walked through step by step, and only then do I solve lots of numericals and give assignments for your child's practice.
A student who understands one concept properly is in far better shape than one who has memorized ten formulae without seeing the physics behind them.
What sets my classes apart is the time I spend on board-answer technique — the style of answer the boards reward. Forty years of close engagement with how senior-school Physics is examined in India has taught me exactly which steps fetch the marks, and which gaps cost candidates the most. That working knowledge helps in every chapter I cover.
A typical class
A class with me usually runs for one hour and is structured like this:
- Diagnose — your child tells me what is troubling them. I ask a question or two to find out where the gap actually is (it is rarely where the student thinks).
- Concept and derivation — we build the idea from first principles, with diagrams drawn live.
- Solved example — I work through one problem fully, narrating the logic.
- Their attempt — your child solves a problem under guidance.
- Board-answer debrief — we cover how to present the answer cleanly for the boards.
I am happy to teach in English, Hindi or Bengali — whichever your child is most comfortable thinking in. The first class is free;
we use it to figure out the right starting point and plan the rest from there.

I took lessons with TK Sir during my high school studies in 2016-2018. Extremely well-taught lessons, a very committed and enthusiastic teacher, regular tests and follow-ups, a very encouraging environment to ask questions. I am doing a PhD in Condensed Matter now and a large part of the academic drive in my early years comes from being in his classes and feeling encouraged to understand the simplest concepts. I strongly recommend taking classes with him.
I highly recommend his classes. He explains concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand way, making even difficult topics interesting. His teaching method and notes help students build strong fundamentals and gain confidence in solving numericals. If you're looking to improve your physics skills and achieve better results, joining his classes is definitely a great choice.
Prof. TK Shah is one of the best Physics professors I have studied under. He is very patient and does a great job of building the concepts of physics from the basics. His style of teaching is easy to follow and insightful. Not only does he teach the concepts of physics very well, but he is also an excellent guide on how to prepare for different examinations.
I am a 2018 batch passout, scored 96% in physics in ISC 12th boards.
It was possible due to Mr.TK shah sir.
He is very clear in his concepts and knowledgeable in the field. Moreover he knows how to convey difficult concepts in very easy ways.
To be honest, I have not seen a better profesor for ISC physics than Mr. Shah.
I met Sir more than a decade ago. I went to him after trying out several different Physics teachers in Class 11. I had been a topper throughout my academic life, so Class 11 Physics came as a massive shock when I somehow only managed a passing grade in my first-term exams. At the time, I was studying at St. Thomas' Boys' School, Kidderpore.
After joining his classes, I realized just how amazing he is. He teaches complex Physics concepts so beautifully that even a student who has never liked the subject will fall in love with it. Sir is extremely meticulous, hardworking, and diligent, looking after every single student in his batches with immense care and affection. He ensures that you thoroughly understand the concepts, memorize the necessary derivations with ease, and simplifies everything needed to score well through his helpful handouts and lectures. I was incredibly lucky to find him in Class 11 and 12. Thanks to his brilliant teaching, I went on to score a 92 in Physics in my ISC Class XII board examinations.I had the privilege of learning from him in Classes 11 and 12. He is simply the best Physics tutor in Kolkata.
He has taught me physics in class 11 -12 and trust me he is one of the great teacher!
He used to take assesment as well every week which made learning so easy.I had the privilege of being taught by one of the finest physics teachers. His teaching style is excellent, and he makes even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. He is always patient in clearing doubts and provides valuable guidance for ISC exam preparation. His support and recommendations have been incredibly helpful. Highly recommended for anyone who's struggling with the subject.
He taught me physics via online classes in class 11 and 12, and there is no doubt he is one of the best out there. I hated online classes, but his classes were different. From keeping our attention focused on the lessons to repeating the topics if we didn't understand them, it is because of him that my concepts regarding physics are so crystal clear. He was recommended to me by my sister Sudeshna, who was also his ex-student, and she got excellent marks in physics because of his classes and notes.
TK Shah Sir is an exceptional Physics teacher who makes even the toughest concepts feel simple and interesting. His teaching style is clear, patient, and highly engaging, which helped me build both confidence and understanding in Class XI and XII. He is always supportive, motivating, and truly dedicated to his students success.
Mr. Tk Shah is an exceptionally good teacher. I took coaching from him during my isc. Extremely patient, experienced and enthusiastic teacher. Comprehensive classes with extensive test series and practice assignments gives the Complete preparation for board examinations.
Tk shah sir taught me physics in 11th and 12th. There's no other teacher as experienced and professional as him.
He is very helpful and guides gis students personally. Gives one to one attention and his knowledge of the subject is exceptionallyIn my experience, TK Shah sir is one of the most commendable teachers out there and I am extremely grateful and honoured to have received his guidance throughout my 11th and 12th grades. He makes learning a concept heavy subject like Physics enjoyable and easy to grasp. His teaching methods ensure that the needs and requirements of every student is catered to, giving special attention to their weaknesses. His devotion and dedication to the subject is highly admirable. I have passed my 12th Physics board exam with flying colours, all thanks to his mentorship and support.
An extremely calm and patient physics teacher. I know him since 1992 when he taught me physics. My son also was under his guidance. His notes are super simple and he gives individual attention if student falters in any topic. Highly recommended. Don't miss the opportunity to be his student.
