Academic support in July – Science for all levels up to high school (fr/en/es)

From 52.62 C$ /h

I'm in my second year at EPFL and my exams finish at the beginning of July — which means I'm much more available and flexible than usual for those first two weeks of July!

I offer support in math, physics and chemistry for all levels, from primary school to high school, in Lausanne.
Depending on your child's needs, the format can be completely adapted:

For little ones: something light and fun, to keep them connected to math without it feeling like school during the holidays 😊
For middle school students: review the year's concepts, fill in any gaps, and start August with a solid foundation.
For high school students: finish any exercises they were struggling with, revise for a make-up exam, or get a head start on the start of the new school year.

I adapt to each student's pace and explain until it is fully understood. Lessons are available in French, English, or Spanish.
Feel free to contact me so we can find what works best for you!

About Me

I deeply enjoy helping children and growing alongside them. Being around them comes naturally to me, and I always approach everything I do with kindness and dedication.
I have held my BAFA qualification for 3 years and every summer I work in summer camps, which has allowed me to gain solid experience with children of various ages. I have also done babysitting, both occasionally and regularly.
When I was younger, I struggled with literature, and I sometimes received private tutoring. This experience allows me today to understand very well what it feels like to be in a child's shoes, with their doubts, difficulties, and specific needs.
Being shy by nature when I was younger, I myself experienced some difficult situations, and my goal today is to avoid this at all costs with your children, by offering them a reassuring, respectful and encouraging environment.

Education

My educational background is atypical and very diverse: I studied at the CNED (a distance learning program), then at a local school in Costa Rica, followed by an English-language school in Quebec, before attending a French high school in Spain. There, I earned a scientific baccalaureate with the European section option, as I love English. When I was younger, I also participated in English-language camps, which further improved my fluency. I am currently pursuing my studies at EPFL.

Experience / Qualifications

My approach is based on listening, patience and adapting to each child, in order to help them progress with confidence and serenity.

Academic support in science subjects (languages spoken: French, English or Spanish)

52.62 C$ /h

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.

Hello,

A former student of EPFL (Bachelor of Life Sciences) and HEC Lausanne (Master of Management), I offer courses at primary and secondary level to best prepare you for the maturity exam or the baccalaureate.

Depending on your location, I can give online lessons, via zoom. Thanks to the feedback from several students, I was able to develop online learning methods that are as effective as in person.

As a master's student at EPFL, I offer support courses to share my experience in mathematics, physics and biology. Whether at the secondary, gymnasium or university level, the sessions revolve around the resolution of exercises and the resumption of basic theory in order to understand the key concepts. These courses can be adapted with a view to preparing for one or more exams in particular. I can also provide help in organization and working methods.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your specific needs and establish a tailor-made program that will perfectly match your learning objectives.

Looking forward to working with you,

Henri

I love teaching and have always enthusiastically helped my classmates. I have been giving private lessons since 2016 (around 25 students, including 4 for a General Physics course in propaedeutics). I am also an assistant for two courses at EPFL (3rd year Bachelor and Master levels), and I co-created and taught the EPFL Advanced Analysis course (for mathematicians and physicists) during the week welcoming new students.

I then strive to transmit my knowledge and my passion for the subject to my students, at a pace adapted to their needs. I think that students who take private lessons have a sincere desire to overcome their difficulties, and that we must therefore pay particular attention to encouraging them. It is therefore step by step that I help them understand the material, by developing their intuition of the different concepts covered while ensuring that they fill in their gaps. My students appreciate my clarity, structure, motivation, patience and flexibility.

If you or your child has difficulty with mathematics, do not hesitate to contact me for more information about my courses.

Third-year physics student at EPFL Lausanne.

The courses are aimed in particular at university students, but also at secondary school students. For those attending EPFL, I can give classes in person. Otherwise, I am also available for online courses. The topics and course delivery are agreed with the students according to their specific needs. They can include both theoretical explanations and the carrying out of practical exercises.

From my own experience, I have found that everyone can understand the most complex concepts, you just need to adopt the right approach and teaching method, which varies from person to person. As it is not always possible to make this important distinction in general courses, my intention is to provide those who need it with help in catching up with the program by filling in gaps and/or doubts. I do not favor a mnemonic approach, but rather a deep understanding of the subject.

I offer tutoring in math (algebra, analysis, statistics), physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, fluid mechanics), chemistry, materials mechanics or programming (C, python, MATLAB).

I have extensive experience in tutoring, an activity I have been practicing for about 7 years with different students.

I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from EPFL and am currently pursuing a master's degree there. I can adapt to the student's level. The price can be reduced by tutoring several students (maximum 3) in the same subject.

I'm a student at HEC Lausanne and I love working with children. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always take the time to build a trusting relationship with them. I speak French and English fluently, which also allows me to help with homework in both languages. I can babysit, accompany children on school trips, and offer quiet or fun activities depending on their needs. My main goal is for children to feel safe, listened to, and to have a good time.

This mathematics course is dedicated to learning and mastering Analysis 1 and Analysis 2. It is aimed at students wishing to strengthen their foundations or deepen their knowledge of differential and integral calculus.

Having myself taken these courses at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) with very good results, I understand the academic expectations as well as the common difficulties encountered by students.

We will cover fundamental concepts such as limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, as well as sequences and series. Particular attention will be paid to understanding the concepts and solving typical exercises.

The course is tailored to each student's level, with clear explanations, concrete examples and personalized support to progress effectively, especially in preparation for exams.

As a student myself, I always share the same experiences and stressful phases as my students (difficult lessons to understand, exams, assignments, etc.), and I find this to be a major asset in one-on-one tutoring. It's a close connection that most qualified teachers overlook, which prevents them from understanding the student's difficulties.

I am currently in my second year at EPFL and passed my first year on my first attempt. In addition to good results at the pre-university level, I continue to excel in my studies (5.25/6 average) and am developing rigor, composure under stress, excellent organizational skills, and above all, a demanding work ethic.
In terms of my career path, I am considering a Master's degree in Robotics at EPFL as well, because it is a subject that I am passionate about.

To best teach a student struggling with a scientific subject, I believe it's crucial to vary the methods and terminology used. A perspective different from that of a high school/college (or even middle school) teacher can shed light on a topic sometimes perceived as "complicated".
That is why I try to be as close as possible to the student, to understand their interests, in order to give simplified, visual, schematic explanations that are easily understood by the student, and that remain a clear reference.

To make the most of our time with the student, I try to prepare each lesson meticulously. To do this, I will ask the student about their needs for the next lesson (if they have specific requirements, for example, a test in class or a lesson they didn't understand), or I will prepare a personalized learning plan as best I can.
