Do you have a test soon and come to realize that you have not done half of the chapters or that you just have not worked enough during the year? Perfect ! I am here to help you !

Whether you're struggling in a subject or just want to get ahead, you've come to the right place. I could help you.

This course is for all levels and all ages.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Friendly tutor with 15 years of experience in science teaching, I offer help, support and tutoring for all levels from primary to university.

I am a chemist-physicist and have been teaching science for over 15 years in private lessons and in classrooms, at the high school, pre-high school, university, and evening classes. I help my students with chemistry, physics, biology, math, and other scientific subjects.
The important thing for me is to give my pupils confidence and finally make them independent.
As a coach or trainer I am an ally, I am not the one who will assess or judge the work of the student in class but the one who will help him, show him the keys and accompany him to the success of his exams or his school year for example.
The important thing for me is to understand how the student works, how he works, and then help him in a way that matches what he / she will find logical or natural.

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.

Currently in the last semester of a Master in Chemical Engineering at EPFL, I offer secondary school students in gymnasium as well as EPFL students, in-depth support courses in Maths, Chemistry, Physics or Biology.
My goal is to help the student to progress in a pleasant way while catching up with his gaps.

The learning of the English and German language is done in a proactive and stimulating way, learning via the active way with simulation and exercise in order to obtain optimal results after a more or less short period of learning, through the grammar and vocabulary in order to learn the real language used by the English and German populations.
Regarding chemistry lessons, learning through visualization with contextual settings and explanations accompanied by examples is necessary to fully understand. Teach the student to get into the habit of doing his exercises and to understand the statements so that he is able to do them alone.

My biology courses (biochemistry, biotechnology in particular) are aimed at the following levels: high school students, bachelor's and master's. I am also ready to train adults who are passionate about biology and are trying to obtain a diploma, for example.

I adapt my method after having discussed with the student and I am very patient who has only one desire: the success of the student. I like to pass on my passion for life sciences and use several methods. I am a calm and very flexible person, willing to support students who seek to deepen their knowledge or who have certain difficulties.

- Discussion and understanding of the learning method adapted to the student (mental imagery, diagram, comparison, oral, written and/or visual comprehension)
- Use of adapted tools: textbooks but also computer tools (website, powerpoint, etc.)

Hello,

I am an EPFL graduate student who has followed and helped more than 50 students to pass their year for maths, physics and chemistry.

Last year I had 4 students who were taking their exams to obtain their federal maturities (private school) and contacted me for regular courses during the year. They all had excellent results in maths and physics. I even have a student who had 6 in her federal math exam..... (she didn't know much before starting lessons with me and now she's a hit!)

If you need help, I offer group and individual lessons in Lausanne (1014) or by zoom (depending on your preference).
Individual lesson (1 person)
Group lessons (2 people)
Group lessons (3 people)
Questions or you can already book your first lesson

Preparation for exams and tests, help with exercises or explanations for a good understanding of a subject.
Support in math, physics, chemistry, biology and computer science for all levels.
I have been giving support lessons for 6 years.
Possible to do online courses on weekends if needed.

The support courses for first-year engineering students are designed to offer valuable and personalized assistance to students who are starting their engineering career. These courses aim to strengthen their academic skills, fill in any gaps, and provide them with the tools to succeed in their demanding course of study.

The support courses cover a wide range of fundamental subjects, such as mathematics, physics, programming, biology and chemistry, which constitute the basics of engineering.

In addition to solidifying academic knowledge, support classes also offer tips on time management, effective note taking, study skills, and exam preparation. Students learn to develop problem-solving, critical-thinking, and analytical skills that are essential for success as engineers.

Currently a doctoral student in chemistry at and also graduated from a master's degree in Chemistry at EPFL with a specialization in educational teaching. I offer personalized learning specific to each of my students, help with preparing questions or exams as well as homework support. I can offer you a level ranging from secondary school to university.
My goal is to help you progress independently and be able to understand your errors, weaknesses and strengths for yourself.

I will teach you general ideas in chemistry, help with your homework, or/and help you keep in classes you have. I majored in chemistry and got a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, so I can teach general chemistry on the level from high school (or even earlier) to early uni level, and organic chemistry for any kind of level. I do not have any curriculum so far, so you can discuss with me what you would like to learn ;) I can teach in English, Japanese, and broken French.

Retired gym teacher with 40 years of experience.
I have supported many students throughout my career with support courses and specific coaching in learning management.
Because I am specially trained in supporting young people in their learning.

Hello,
My name is Linnea, I am 21 years old and I am currently in my third year of a bachelor's degree in environmental science and engineering at EPFL.
I would be delighted to support you/your child in mathematics and science as well as in English and/or German. During my first year at EPFL, I was able to thoroughly review all the basics of mathematics, which allowed me to consolidate my knowledge and learn to explain concepts clearly and simply.
A few words about me: I am an optimistic, active, and sociable student who enjoys spending time outdoors and being around people. I grew up in a bilingual family, which allows me to speak German and English at a native level, as well as French fluently.
I live in Lausanne and am available to teach in person or online, with flexible hours on weekdays and weekends.
I would be very happy to hear from you.
Regards,
Linnea
