Preparation in maths / physics for the start of the school year at EPFL

From 62.51 C$ /h

FOR WHOM, FOR WHAT:

This course aims to provide a framework for the preparation of future students at EPFL.
Many students are preparing for the start of the new school year at EPFL, but many of them are lost and don't know where to start. Some drag gaps from gymnasium/college with them, which prevent them from starting to learn/relearn math and physics and prepare well for the start of the school year. In this course, I propose to supervise the student in his preparation.

This course is adapted to the level in mathematics (standard and advanced) and physics (standard) of all sections of EPFL*.

CONTENTS :
The course aims to adapt to the needs of the student. In particular, it is common to:
- resume gym/college classes
-identify and address remaining gym/college gaps
- Fly over new subjects (the goal being not to be surprised when introducing them to the university)
-Work on certain subjects in advance
-Develop a work strategy and get organized
-Share experience/give advice
-Present the exam modalities (within the limits of my knowledge)

Note that the courses are flexible.
For more information on course content, please contact me to discuss.

REMARKS :
-> This course aims to give a boost to future students at EPFL. It does not in any way guarantee the success of the student (obviously).
-> This course is often given in support of the book "Know how in mathematics"
-> The course is based on my experience (EPFL, mathematics section).

SIZE:
The course can be given face-to-face in the Lausanne region (preferably Renens / Ecublens) or Geneva (preferably center) depending on my travel availability (this is to be agreed by message with me directly, this option only appears by default in my schedules available below). Otherwise, the course is generally given by Zoom with screen sharing where I generally write by hand).
The notes during the course are sent to the student after the course is completed in PDF format.
For more availability, please contact me.

Hoping to be able to help you.

I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Mathematics from EPFL, where I also worked as a student assistant for 4 years, notably for the CMS (Special Mathematics Course), the MAN (Upgrade), as well as for several first-year Bachelor's courses. I also served as a corrector for multiple exam sessions and wrote a handout for a course for Master's students in Mathematics at EPFL. Through these experiences, I had the opportunity to support many students in successfully completing their first year, often considered one of the most demanding.

Today, I offer private math lessons for all levels, from compulsory school to the federal maturity, as well as for Bachelor students needing support in subjects with a strong mathematical component.

Passionate about teaching, what I appreciate above all is seeing students' progress, their confidence and their growing understanding. My methodology is based on an intuitive understanding of concepts, through simple and clear examples, as well as structured support in reasoning. I place particular emphasis on solving exercises, because it is through regular practice that we consolidate our knowledge and truly progress in mathematics.

Most lessons will start with a discussion before jumping into practice questions and worked examples in a calmer environment than the classroom.

We will discuss what area(s) of Mathematics the student is struggling with, I will then present diagnostic questions to identify the root cause of the confusion before working from basics to make sure the student understands what the gap in their knowledge is and how to best reinforce the gap in their learning.

For more confident students one of the best ways to prepare them for exams is working through exam-style questions and reviewing common areas where marks are lost along with best practices to minimise wasted time during the tests.

I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics.

I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since.
I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors.
I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...)

I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge.
I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence.

I can travel to the student's home or also conduct the lesson via Zoom/Google Meet.
