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.

Dear student,

I am a chemist graduated from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). I have always been fascinated by science and now I hold a doctorate in solid-state physics from the University of Geneva.

Science subjects can help you pass exams. I have been teaching these disciplines for many years during exercise sessions held at the University as well as in private lessons given as an independent.

For this reason, you will have the possibility to ask me for explanations on any subject. It is indeed useful that you can progress on the basis of what you already know. You will of course have the choice to ask me for remedial lessons to revise or discover entire chapters. Before the first lesson starts, I will invite you to explain your situation to me freely and free of charge so that we can work effectively from the first lesson.

All scientific subjects have in common a method that is called "scientific logic". Whenever the opportunity arises, I will offer you elements of this method because it is this method that will allow you to understand durably and to solve the exercises rigorously.

Your studies are serious business, demand that you be taken seriously.

Best regards,
Julien

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 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.
