Private tutoring in physics, chemistry, and mathematics

From 53 C$ /h

I am currently a Physics and Chemistry teacher, a position I hold part-time. This allows me to alternate between lecturing in the classroom and providing personalized tutoring. This dual role enables me to maintain a thorough understanding of the official curriculum while offering a tailored approach adapted to each student's specific learning difficulties.

My journey :
My studies began with advanced mathematics (Maths Sup), before I earned my degree in Materials Engineering. I then worked in the cutting-edge nuclear sector (CEA) on high-tech challenges. However, teaching always appealed to me; it was a calling I'd had since my student days. The day I took the plunge and entered the classroom, I knew I was where I belonged. I've never left the field of education since.

My approach:
Flexible and structured to precisely meet the student's objectives. Each session is custom-designed according to the needs of the moment:
Review of the lesson: If a concept seen in class has remained unclear, we review the student's lesson point by point to remove the obstacles and clarify the theory.
Complete lesson: To get ahead or make up for an absence, I can provide an entire lesson on a specific chapter, supported by concrete examples from my engineering background.
Intensive training: Performing direct application exercises to master the basics, then moving on to more complex exercises to develop reflexes.
Summaries and summaries: At the end of each chapter or before an exam, we create summary sheets to highlight key points and essential formulas.
Further study: For students aiming for excellence or higher scientific studies, I offer further study exercises and an introduction to concrete applications (engineering, nanomaterials, etc.).
Methodology: Particular emphasis is placed on writing, work organization and time management during the tests.

About Me

My teaching approach is to spark interest above all else. For me, you can't learn science without understanding its applications. That's why I always take the time to illustrate my lessons with concrete experiments and examples that resonate with students (everyday technologies, sports, movies, games). My goal is to transform an abstract concept into a useful and understandable tool.
The feedback I receive from my students in public schools and their parents is consistent. They appreciate an environment free from judgment. I never give a "ready-made" solution, and I never put the student down. On the contrary, I guide them through questioning so they can find their own way to the correct answer. In this way, even mistakes become constructive steps. The student understands why they were wrong and leaves the session with the satisfaction of having found the solution independently.

The world of mathematics is abstract and demanding. To navigate it, creating logical connections between the concepts studied becomes essential. From algebraic manipulation to linear algebra, this support aims to help students reconnect with mathematics by giving them the necessary tools to find their own way. In this way, long-term academic success becomes possible.

Having graduated with a high school diploma specializing in Mathematics and Physics, receiving an award for excellence as well as an award for advanced mathematics, and currently pursuing further studies in mathematics at EPFL, I will leverage my years of experience in academic support to achieve my goal: to show students that mathematics can be enjoyable when studied effectively. This enjoyment will be the cornerstone of their academic success.

Videoconference preparation for the Swiss supplementary examination (ECUS) and first-year mathematics at EPFL.

The ECUS is not a school exam. It's an entrance exam, with a specific syllabus, a set format, and a time constraint that eliminates perfectly competent candidates. Preparation, therefore, doesn't consist of reviewing course material, but of rebuilding a foundation and practicing in the actual exam format.

Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics), more than five years of private tutoring, including mentoring foreign students preparing for their entry into the Swiss system.

What I cover

ECUS — comprehensive mathematics program, practice with sample exams, time management
EPFL's Special Mathematics Course (CMS)
Refresher courses before the first year of university or college: analysis, linear algebra, probability
Refresher courses for candidates who have been out of the school system for several years

Method

An initial assessment is conducted to determine the student's actual level in relation to the exam requirements, followed by a detailed study plan: number of hours needed, priority chapters, and a timeline leading up to the exam date. Each session combines targeted review of theoretical material with practice exercises in the exam format.

I work with candidates who are starting from scratch as well as with students who want to secure their first year.

As a final year Bachelor of Engineering student at EPFL, I offer private lessons or support, or homework help adapted to the level and needs of each student.

I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, French, and English, primarily at the beginner to intermediate level, from elementary school to high school. Lessons can focus on understanding concepts, preparing for assessments, solving exercises, or simply regaining confidence in the subject.

I also offer support in Analysis I for higher education students, particularly to review theoretical concepts, understand methods and practice exercises.

My goal is to make concepts more accessible by adapting to each student's pace and prioritizing real understanding over rote learning.

I offer private math lessons for all levels, up to (maybe) the second year of university. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from EPFL, I have been an assistant since 2023 in several courses, mainly in analysis and linear algebra. I have also corrected exams for the CMS and MàN programs. At the same time, I participated in the mentoring program as a tutor, a support program for first-year mathematics students. My role was to help them understand the courses, solve exercises, and prepare for exams. The students I followed throughout the year all obtained an average above 5.

My way of teaching would be to explain my point of view, to give concrete examples of application of the results seen in class, to explain the logical progression of the course, to give a proof of the result or sometimes just to make a drawing. I am a student myself, and I understand the difficulty one can have in visualizing concepts, so I am open to criticism and flexible on my way of teaching.
