64 C$ /h

I am a research student at the National University of Singapore (NUS), offering private lessons in mathematics, physics, and computer science, from middle school all the way to higher education.
I am very pedagogical and genuinely enjoy teaching. I have worked as a teaching assistant and have extensive experience giving private lessons, so I know how to adapt my explanations to each student's level, pace, and goals. My priority is to make sure you truly understand the logic behind each concept rather than just memorizing formulas.
I can teach everything from fundamental notions, such as an introduction to programming or the basics of physics, all the way up to advanced topics. Whether you need to catch up, prepare for an exam, or go deeper into a subject, I will build each session around your actual needs.
What I offer:

Mathematics: algebra, analysis, geometry, probability, exam preparation
Physics: mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, waves
Computer Science: introduction to programming, algorithms, data structures, languages such as Python and C

Lessons are available in both French and English. Feel free to reach out to discuss what you are looking for, and we can find the best way to help you progress.

With over 18 years of experience and a degree in Mathematics, Analysis, Matrices, Statistics, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geology, I offer private lessons in French programs for Terminale, brevet, and secondary schools, as well as international (IB) or Canadian programs in English, and for students preparing for university entrance exams, medical programs, or first and second years of university studies. Lessons are available for the academic year, either at home or online using a virtual classroom method (shared interactive whiteboard).
The online method is easy to use via a link that serves as a writing, typing, and projection screen, unlike WhatsApp or Zoom, which are the communication platforms we use. This method is very modern and reliable (it's like being in the same place); I've been working with it for over six years.
The results of my students and in particular the students of Terminale are superb with successes in mention very good and good and sometimes excellent.
Homework help for CNED students.
For more information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Struggling with math, physics, or chemistry? You're not alone — these subjects are hard, and classroom explanations are rarely enough.
I offer personalized tutoring for middle school, high school, and early university students following the French Mission curriculum, the Moroccan national curriculum, or the international baccalaureate.
Topics covered:

Mathematics: algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, probability
Physics: mechanics, electricity, optics, thermodynamics
Chemistry: organic, inorganic, stoichiometry, reactions

My approach:
I don't re-explain the textbook — I identify exactly where your understanding breaks down and fix it from there. Each session is built around your specific difficulties, not a preset program.
I completed CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) in Mathematics and Physics before graduating as a State Engineer — I know these subjects at an advanced level and I know where students typically get lost.
Individual and small group sessions available. Online (worldwide) in French, Arabic, or English.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Are you taking a mathematics exam in the second session?
I offer intensive support to review the basics, target important chapters and practice effectively on typical exercises.

I support higher education students, particularly at university, college and Solvay/ULB, to understand important concepts, redo practical exercises and practice on typical exam exercises.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the logic behind the methods, know when to use each formula, recognize the correct reasoning in a statement and gain autonomy when facing exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Limits and continuity:
Calculation of limits, indeterminate forms, left-hand and right-hand limits, limits at infinity, horizontal, vertical and oblique asymptotes, continuity and behavior of a function.

• Derivatives and function analysis:
rules of differentiation, derivative of a composite, logarithmic derivative, increasing/decreasing, extrema, convexity/concavity, inflection points, variation tables and complete graphical representation.

• Optimization:
maximum/minimum problems, economic optimization, cost functions, revenue, profit, elasticity, choice of method and interpretation of results.

• Functions with several variables:
partial derivatives, gradient, differentials, two-variable optimization, local extrema, Hessian matrix, first-order conditions and economic interpretation according to your course.

• Constrained optimization:
Lagrange method, budget constraint, utility maximization, cost minimization, Lagrange multipliers and interpretation of results.

• Linear algebra:
vectors, matrices, matrix operations, determinants, inverse matrices, rank of a matrix, systems of linear equations, Gauss's method and solving systems.

• Sequels and series:
arithmetic and geometric sequences, limits of sequences, convergence, sums, simple series and economic or financial applications according to your program.

• Integrals:
antiderivatives, definite integrals, area under a curve, simple calculation methods, graphical interpretation and applications.

• Financial mathematics:
Simple and compound interest, capitalization, discounting, present value, future value, annuities, monthly payments, equivalent rate, effective rate, loans, repayments, NPV, IRR and basic financial applications.

• Exam preparation:
reading statements, choosing the right method, identifying the formulas to use, typical exercises, past exams, guided corrections and problem-solving methods.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis, financial models and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.
