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.

My main goals are:
-coaching you on the exercises you need to do that are part of the exam
-remove your math anxiety
-give you the spark of mathematics
And, it works...

As a mother of four student children, aged 18 to 24, I fully understand the specific needs of each one.

Available year-round, I offer personalized support whether you're preparing for the start of the academic year or revising for exams. You can choose between in-person sessions for practical explanations or online lessons from the comfort of your home. Sessions can be scheduled at your convenience, Monday through Sunday, at the following times: 8:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 2:00 PM, and 4:30 PM. Contact me to find a time that works for you.

Private tutoring is always cheaper than repeating a year.

Mathematics, physics, English, and French can seem difficult without the right foundation or method. With extensive experience working with students of all ages, from young children to high school and university students, I have designed my lessons as a personalized support system, adapted to each student's level and pace.
You will solidify your foundational knowledge, fill in any gaps, better understand challenging concepts, and gain confidence and independence when tackling exercises and exams. My goal is to make each subject accessible by adapting to each student's learning style.

I have a strong academic foundation in mathematics up to and including Calculus I and II. I also have solid knowledge in physics and chemistry at school level across all grades. With my specialization in chemistry, I have a particularly strong understanding of this subject. As I am currently a student myself, I am very familiar with the learning process and the challenges students face, which helps me explain concepts clearly and in a structured way.

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.

Learn the basics of French and English, or deepen your knowledge of these languages. The course aims to prepare you for quizzes and exams, and to help you learn to speak the language fluently and correctly.
The course will be interactive with games or more advanced exercises depending on the student's progress.

I am a Master's student in Electronic Engineering offering Math and Physics lessons. 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. 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.
