Hi, this is Amitava, and I’m a physics tutor. I teach physics to help students see physics, not just calculate it.
Let me show you a problem solved live — without even a paper or pencil — just by choosing a smart reference frame.
Two stones are thrown from the same point at the same time, each with a speed of 100 meters per second — one vertically upward, and the other at 60 degrees to the vertical. What will be their separation after one second?
In the usual lab reference frame, we’d need equations and calculations. But instead, I choose a free-falling reference frame. In a free-falling frame, gravity disappears, and both stones move in straight lines with constant speed.
After one second, each stone has moved 100 meters, and the angle between their directions is 60 degrees. Now this becomes a simple geometry problem — they form an equilateral triangle.
So the separation is exactly 100 meters.
This is how I teach: intuition first, then the math, always looking for elegance and clarity. I’m very patient, and I truly believe there’s no such thing as a stupid question.
If you want to understand physics deeply and confidently, I’d love to work with you. Book a trial lesson and let’s explore physics together.

Having studied physics from Amitava Guha sir in Grade 12th during my JEE preparation has been an enriching experience. The immense amount of knowledge and his experiences made learning things very relatable and approachable. He always made sure that learning physics should not only be about theorems and formulae and mathematics but their real-life applications of the underlying concepts.
I have worked closely with Amitava as a colleague, and I can confidently say that he is a highly capable and dedicated Physics teacher.
Amitava has a strong command over core physics concepts and an exceptional ability to explain complex ideas in a clear, structured, and student-friendly manner. His teaching approach emphasizes conceptual clarity, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills, which helps students build confidence and long-term understanding.
He is disciplined, sincere, and deeply committed to student success. Amitava adapts his teaching style based on individual learning needs, making him especially effective in one-on-one and small-group teaching environments.
I strongly believe Amitava Guha would be a valuable asset to any educational platform or institution. I recommend him without hesitation for teaching opportunities through Superprof.
I know Amitava sir as a very deeply knowledged teacher of physics. He explains answers to questions in a very detailed and technical manner. He uses minimum maths to find solutions thus raising further interest of students in physics. I definitely recommend Amitava sir.
He is an exceptionally capable and impactful teacher who played a crucial role in shaping my understanding of Physics during my high school years as well as my preparation for college entrance examinations.
I initially struggled with key areas such as Newtonian Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetism. His teaching approach—particularly his emphasis on structured problem-solving and the systematic use of free body diagrams—completely transformed my understanding of Newtonian mechanics. What began as a challenge eventually became one of my strongest areas.
This success was consistently replicated in Electromagnetism and Thermodynamics as well. His instruction is highly methodical, concept-driven, and deeply focused on problem-solving, which equips students with clarity, confidence, and a decisive advantage in competitive examinations.
I hold him in the highest regard as a teacher and strongly recommend him to any student seeking mastery in Physics.View more recommendations
