Giuliano
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 a Belgian (Flemish) and French student with a Masters in International Public Law (Amsterdam) and a Masters in Global development (University of Copenhagen). World traveler, I have lived in Thailand, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, US, Switzerland and many more countries, where I both dtudies and worked as a legal advisor.

I have been tutoring since 2017, both in person, in schools and online, since 2017, I have been working with around 250 students, located everywhere in the world! Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:

2022-Now:
Online tutoring on Apprentus, (approx 12h/week).

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.

I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you!

TRANSFORMING LEANERS INTO TOP ACHIEVERS— FROM PRIMARY TO IB

Welcome to a learning experience designed to inspire confidence, mastery, and academic excellence across Mathematics, Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Whether your child is building foundational understanding in primary school, preparing for the challenges of IGCSE/MYP, or tackling the rigor of A Level and IB (HL & SL), my classes are structured to deliver real, measurable progress.


WHY LEARN WITH ME?

I bring over 10 years of professional tutoring experience** backed by a strong academic foundation. Having graduated with honors from both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine, and further trained in advanced mathematical and scientific pedagogy at top institutions like MIT, I have developed a teaching approach that blends expertise, empathy, and innovation.

BUT MY PASSION FOR TEACHING COMES FROM A DEPPER PLACE.

As someone who once struggled with dyslexia and ADHD, finishing at the bottom of the class, I personally understand the frustrations many learners face. With the guidance of a mentor, I transformed my academic life—rising to the top 1% worldwide in SATs and earning placements at prestigious universities.
This journey fuels my mission: to help every student unlock their potential, no matter where they begin.


WHAT I OFFER

My classes are designed for both students who need patient, structured support and high achievers seeking challenge and enrichment.

Subjects Covered (All International Curricula)
