About Me

Passionate about life sciences and the transmission of knowledge, I am a Doctor of Neuroscience and a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva. My academic excellence (Preparatory Classes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Sciences; Bachelor's Degree in Cell Biology, Genetics, Microbiology and Physiology; Master's Degree in Neuroscience, Doctorate in Neuroscience) combined with my training in clinical psychology allows me to offer unique educational support tailored to each student.

If I am lucky enough today to be a Doctor of Neuroscience and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Geneva, I owe it in large part to the extraordinary professors who have marked my career. I still remember the biology teacher in high school who transformed each class into a scientific adventure, the preparatory class professor who made biochemistry as captivating as a detective novel, or my thesis supervisor who passed on to me his contagious passion for the mysteries of the brain.
These exceptional teachers all had one thing in common: they didn't just impart knowledge, they knew how to ignite that spark of curiosity that transforms learning into pleasure. Thanks to them, I discovered that science, when taught well, becomes absolutely fascinating! Cellular mechanisms become thrilling stories, equations come to life, and suddenly, you want to know more, to explore, to understand.
Today, it's my turn to play this role. My ambition? To be for my students that teacher who makes a difference, the one who transforms biology into a passion, who inspires confidence, who shows that yes, it is possible to succeed and above all, that it's fun! Because I am convinced: when teaching is done well, learning becomes a game, difficulties become stimulating challenges, and successes become shared victories.
Every student who discovers the joy of learning, who overcomes their inhibitions, or who suddenly realizes that "actually, it's not that complicated!" reminds me why I love teaching. It's this transmission of passion, this moment when everything becomes clear in a student's eyes, that motivates me every day. Being the catalyst for these turning points is my way of giving back what I've received and contributing, in my own way, to giving birth to new scientific vocations.

The student will choose one or more of the 4 courses offered.

This particular course is intended to help students with academic difficulties concerning the two scientific subjects: biology or chemistry, or also concerning the two languages: French (especially grammar and conjugation) or Italian (Level A1 and A2).

Being a Master student in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and knowing that the curriculum of Pharmacy studies mainly includes chemistry and biology in detail, I would be able to help students with difficulties regarding these two modules in a proper way to aim for excellence.

Also my linguistic knowledge in French, English, Arabic, and Italian, pushed me to be a source of help to students who find difficulties in French (especially Grammar and conjugation) and Italian.

I will be as always, flexible and I will respond as much as necessary to the student so that he can succeed his year by managing his stress with enthusiasm and perpetual courage.

The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss Maturity and Gymnasium program or French programs are given by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools.
Special program for Maturité and Terminale students.
As well as (International and European Schools in English).
The same goes for the start of the ECUS and EPSU academic year where the pupil can follow a complete preparation.
As well as for 1st and 2nd-year university students, can take courses in Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology and Geology.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.
Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

I am a physicist and PhD researcher at the University of Geneva, with several years of experience teaching physics at university level and providing private tutoring in physics, mathematics and chemistry.

My academic background includes degrees in Physics and Solid-State Physics, as well as a background in Industrial Chemistry. This allows me to teach science subjects from secondary-school level up to university courses, while adapting the level of explanation to each student.

I can help with:

* Physics: mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, thermodynamics, modern physics and introductory quantum physics
* Mathematics: algebra, functions, calculus, trigonometry, vectors and problem solving
* Chemistry: general chemistry, physical chemistry and introductory university chemistry
* IB, Maturity and international-school programmes
* University physics and mathematics courses
* Exam and mock-exam preparation
* Revision of previous-year material
* Homework, exercises and problem-solving techniques

My approach is based on understanding rather than memorization. I first identify where the difficulty comes from, then rebuild the relevant concepts step by step before applying them to exercises and exam-style problems.

Because I also teach university students, I place particular emphasis on developing a clear method: how to interpret a problem, identify the relevant physical principles, organize a calculation and check whether the final result makes sense.

Lessons can be adapted either for students who are struggling and need to rebuild their foundations, or for stronger students preparing for demanding exams and advanced courses.

I teach in English, French and Italian.

Online lessons and in-person lessons in the Geneva area are available.

I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company.
I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 11 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools.

Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments.

As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am.

Are you curious about how nature works?

Let's explore together!

Dear Parents,

You have come here seeking help for your child, and you have made the right decision. Public schools play a crucial role in our education, but sometimes they lack the necessary resources to cater to each student individually.

I, too, experienced a challenging academic journey for this very reason. My struggles were not greater than those of others, but the rigid schedule limited my ability to fully flourish. Fortunately, with the support of my parents, I had the opportunity to attend a private school and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a chemist.

I am now a chemist who holds a degree from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), and on April 11, 2019, I successfully defended a doctoral thesis in experimental physics at the University of Geneva (UNIGE).

However, all this knowledge is only valuable if it can be effectively communicated. As you know, communication is an essential aspect of teaching. There are teachers who can be uninteresting, and then there are others whose passion is contagious. I have often observed that teachers who manage to ignite their students' interest take the time to provide context for what they teach. This approach often sparks curiosity in students, leading them to engage willingly.

Your child's studies are a serious matter, you are right to look for solutions.

Best regards,
Julien

I offer math, physics, and chemistry tutoring tailored to all school levels (primary, secondary, and early university). As a student at EPFL, I have a strong command of these subjects and a good understanding of academic expectations.

My goal is to help the student truly understand the concepts, not just memorize them. I explain them simply and progressively, with concrete examples, and then we work on targeted exercises to consolidate what they've learned.

I adapt to each student's level and pace, whether it's for regular support, exam preparation, or occasional help. The goal is to build confidence and independence, and to achieve lasting improvement in results.

With a doctorate in astrophysics, research at CERN and the University of Geneva, I have been teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry for over ten years, from middle school to preparatory classes, as well as in preparation for the PGA at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva.

My approach is based on intuition and deep understanding. Before applying a formula, one understands what it describes. Before using a law, one visualizes the phenomenon. Behind every struggling student, there is a specific, often long-standing, gap in knowledge that has never been identified or filled. My work begins there.

The first session is used to assess the student's level, identify any gaps in knowledge, and define their objectives, without judgment. Then we rebuild together, brick by brick, ensuring that each concept is truly understood before moving on to the next. We explore the meaning behind each concept, and that's what sticks.

For online lessons, I use a graphics tablet and an interactive whiteboard on which the student can interact in real time. Everything written is shared after each session.

I teach in French, English, and Russian.

With a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences and currently a Master's student at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), I offer private lessons and academic support in mathematics and science for primary, secondary and undergraduate students in Geneva.

I can support your child with occasional homework help, reviewing a poorly understood subject, preparing for a quiz or exam, filling in gaps in knowledge, or setting up regular follow-up throughout the school year.

I place great importance on adapting to each student. Everyone has their own pace and learning style, so I take the time to identify any difficulties they encounter and adjust my explanations and approach accordingly. My goal is to make concepts more accessible while helping each child develop their own methodology—tools that will be useful throughout their learning journey.

Lessons can be given in French, my native language, or in English, which I speak at a C1+ level as certified by the TOEFL. I am available for one-off lessons or regular tutoring, depending on the student's needs and goals.
