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 math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss maturity program and gymnasium or French programs are done 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 Matura and Terminales.
As well as for (students in international and European Schools in English, they can have support in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology).
For the start of the academic year in Switzerland, support courses for EPSU and ECUS exams.
For the first university year, support courses in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, 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.

As a first-year Master's student at Neuro-X after a Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, I have acquired a solid grasp of scientific subjects and a good understanding of academic requirements in mathematics and physics.
My goal is to support each student with a caring approach adapted to their pace, by offering them a learning environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and progressing calmly.
Together, we will work on understanding key concepts and their application through various exercises, in order to strengthen confidence and autonomy in science.

I offer academic support and homework help in science subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.). I obtained my scientific Baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

Before each lesson, I like to glance at the chapter or exercises to refresh my memory on certain theorems or formulas if necessary. This allows me to arrive prepared and explain the concepts clearly and in a structured way.

During the lesson, I guide your child step by step, taking the time to re-explain concepts, review the basics if necessary, and help them gain confidence. My goal is not just to solve the exercises, but above all to ensure they truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

Are you looking to prepare for entrance to EPFL, strengthen your foundations in mathematics or physics, acquire effective study methods, or calmly prepare for your exams? I offer personalized support to help you assimilate concepts in depth and adopt effective problem-solving methods.

I primarily work with two types of clients:
- 1st and 2nd year students at EPFL, or in CMS (analysis, linear algebra, mechanics, thermodynamics, etc.).
- Motivated high school students wishing to prepare for their baccalaureate or entry into a demanding scientific field.

I am currently in my first year of a Master's degree in physics at EPFL, after having completed my Bachelor's degree there. Before coming to Switzerland, I attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris (graduating with highest honors).
I have been giving private lessons for 5 years. This experience has allowed me to fully understand the academic requirements (especially those of EPFL) and to adapt quickly to the specific difficulties of each student.

Feel free to contact me to explain your needs, whether it's for occasional help or regular follow-up.

Hi! My name is Losel, I'm an IB graduate who scored 7 in both Math AA HL and Physics HL. I've just graduated magna cum laude with a double bachelor in mathematics and physics from École Polytechnique (Paris) and am now doing a master's in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL.

I offer one-on-one online tutoring, with an iPad and camera setup so we can work through problems together in real time, just like in person. I can help with:

Concepts: Going through your lectures and building intuition, clearing up the hard concepts.

Exercises and past papers: Understanding the exercises (best way to get a good grade btw), as well as exam strategy and how to solve problems faster.

IA and EE: choosing a strong topic, structuring the paper, and refining drafts.

University applications: personal statements, choosing programs, mock technical interviews, and how to maximize your chances to get into a top uni.

I've been through the IB myself, so I know where it gets tough and how to succeed through it. No two students need the same thing, so we'll set clear goals together and work toward them at your pace.

I teach in English, but I also have a C1 in French, so we can mix. I also speak Portuguese and Danish fluently.

Message me for a first chat!

As a Master's student in Data Science at EPFL, a graduate of CentraleSupélec (ranked in the top 3% of my class) and holder of a Bachelor's degree in microtechnology from EPFL, I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics and computer science, from primary school to university level.
My teaching experience
I was a student teaching assistant at EPFL for 8 courses, working with over 400 students. I currently lead the linear algebra and ICC (Information, Computation, Communication) exercise sessions. Each week, I adapt my explanations to each student's level: that's what I love most about teaching.
What I propose
• Primary and secondary school: consolidate the basics (calculation, fractions, geometry, equations), regain confidence and improve methodology.
• Gymnasium / high school (maturity, baccalaureate): functions, analysis, probabilities, vectors, mechanics, electricity, exam preparation.
• University / EPF / preparatory classes: analysis, linear algebra, probability and statistics, numerical analysis, programming (Python, C/C++).
My method
I begin by identifying the real obstacle: a misunderstanding of the concept, a lack of methodology, or stress. Then, I build the sessions based on the student's lessons and exercises. The goal isn't just to pass the next test, but to understand the material and become independent.
Whether you need occasional homework help, regular support, or intensive exam preparation, I adapt to your needs.

I am a Master's student in Electronic Engineering offering Math, Physics and Computer Science lessons, in English or Italian. Over the past 7 years, I have tutored about 40 middle and high school students, helping them recover from bad grades and excel in their studies.

My strength lies in simplifying complex scientific concepts: rather than asking students to memorize formulas, I guide them to understand the underlying logic, so they can solve new problems on their own. I am very patient and adapt to each student's learning pace to make them fully independent.

I believe in building a relationship of trust and empathy, creating a relaxed environment where students never feel anxious about asking questions or making mistakes.

Lessons in person around Pully / Lausanne or online via webcam.

Based on the material covered in school, I take the time to re-explain the concepts and review the methods used in the exercises so that the student can develop their intuition. I offer this approach in mathematics as well as chemistry for all levels up to high school.
