Hi and welcome to this posting! :D

My name is Pedro and I've been tutoring students for the last 3 years.

I have a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering and I am currently studying for a MSc in Cyber Security at EPFL & ETH Zurich.

I love to learn and help others.
For instance, one of the ways I prepared for the Math National Exam was actually by being a tutor to friends who were having many doubts.

I would say my way of explaining is a bit different: I always try to keep people engaged and I don't stop until all the doubts are cleared!

To explain something, I do it in a simple and intuitive way, and I like to come up with funny ways for people to understand the material.

I also create a lot of drawings and figures to make it easier to understand!

I take notes in a writing application and share them at the end of each class.
Extra information
If remote, I have a drawing tablet, so it would be as if we were side by side. In this case, I will share the notes with you, so you can print or consult them online.

Hi! I am currently an AI Scientist at a US-based company working on cutting-edge AI applied to molecular biology. This is the topic that won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared by D. Baker, J. Jumper, D. Hassabis).

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in computational biophysics, machine learning and computational biology at EPFL. I maintain two Python libraries for Topological Data Analysis and pyflagser.

I have previously been a post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bern, where my research was concerned with the interplay between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

I have been teaching at various levels since I was a PhD student at the University of York (UK), and more recently I was part of the cutting-edge educational project Isaac Physics in Physics/Maths/Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Here is my teaching experience so far:

- As a PhD student, I taught seminars in several of the undergraduate modules taught by the Department of Mathematics. In total, I have around 500 contact hours of experience in seminar teaching and marking, all of which I have found to be very rewarding.

- As a PhD student, I jointly ran a course for talented high school student wishing to be admitted at high-rank universities, and in particular wishing to pass interviews and the STEP admission paper for entry at Cambridge.

- As part of the Isaac Physics project, I created or helped create some of the online content such as theory pages, problems and books. In particular I helped put together a book on GCSE physics and one on A-level chemistry. Again as part of Isaac Physics, I gave seminars to a variety of high school students and interacted with local teachers to communicate the Isaac Physics philosophy and methodology. I also have some experience giving online YouTube webinars.

- Throughout, I have been offering one-to-one tuition to A-level/IB students, university students and adult casual learners.

I am happy to travel within about 4-5km of my postcode 1008 in Prilly. Alternatively, I can offer webcam lessons.
