About Me
My name is Francesco. I am an Italo-Swiss photographer and educator in science and science communication at Webster University Geneva.
I hold a PhD in Physical Chemistry (EPFL Lausanne), and my research focused on the ultrafast dynamics of materials and light–matter interaction before I dedicated myself to documentary and artistic photography, in which I earned an MA in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from the University of the Arts London.

Today, I teach science, communication, and photography to international students.
My teaching approach is built on curiosity, clarity, and practice — I believe that we learn best when we understand the deeper meaning of things, whether it’s a thermodynamic equation or a photographic composition.

I always adapt my lessons to each student’s level and goals — whether you’re a high-school pupil, a university student, an adult learner, or an aspiring photographer.
Education
BSc and MSc in Chemistry, University of Pavia, Italy
PhD in Physical Chemistry, EPFL
MA with distinction in Documentary Photography, University of the Arts London
Experience / Qualifications
I have over 10 years of experience teaching in both group and one-to-one settings, and more than 8 years of experience in university classrooms, working with students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds.

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.

Dear Parents,

You have come here seeking help for your child, and you have made the right decision. Public schools play a crucial role in our education, but sometimes they lack the necessary resources to cater to each student individually.

I, too, experienced a challenging academic journey for this very reason. My struggles were not greater than those of others, but the rigid schedule limited my ability to fully flourish. Fortunately, with the support of my parents, I had the opportunity to attend a private school and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a chemist.

I am now a chemist who holds a degree from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), and on April 11, 2019, I successfully defended a doctoral thesis in experimental physics at the University of Geneva (UNIGE).

However, all this knowledge is only valuable if it can be effectively communicated. As you know, communication is an essential aspect of teaching. There are teachers who can be uninteresting, and then there are others whose passion is contagious. I have often observed that teachers who manage to ignite their students' interest take the time to provide context for what they teach. This approach often sparks curiosity in students, leading them to engage willingly.

Your child's studies are a serious matter, you are right to look for solutions.

Best regards,
Julien

/!\ Online courses or in person at EPFL/UNIL, no travel to the student's home.

After obtaining my French baccalaureate (specializing in Mathematics and Physics-Chemistry), I continued my studies at EPFL. Currently in my third year of a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I would be delighted to share the knowledge and methods I have acquired throughout my studies, adapting as much as possible to your learning style and making the lessons as interactive and accessible as possible! I can tutor students up to the final year of high school (gymnasium) in physics and chemistry, and potentially in French up to the entrance of high school. General Chemistry (first year) courses for EPFL or UNIL are also available.

Hello,

I graduated from EPFL (Lausanne) in chemistry and molecular biology, and I have been teaching chemistry for over 10 years.

I offer chemistry tutoring for students preparing for the Swiss Federal Maturity Certificate (DF level). My teaching is tailored to each student's level and needs, whether it's to consolidate the basics, fill in gaps in knowledge, or prepare effectively for exams.

The main topics covered include:

Chemical bonds and Lewis structures.
Organic chemistry (stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms and reactivity).
Chemical equilibria and Le Chatelier's principle.
Stoichiometric calculations.
Acids, bases, and buffer solutions.
Redox reactions (electrochemical cells, Nernst equation, electrolysis, etc.).
Chemical kinetics.
Thermochemistry.
As well as all the other chapters of the Federal Maturity program.

With over 10 years of experience, I have tutored numerous high school students and independent candidates, achieving excellent results. My teaching method is structured, pedagogical, and personalized, enabling each student to progress quickly, gain confidence, and succeed in their exams.

Feel free to contact me for any further information or to arrange a first lesson.

Regards,

Organic chemistry is a subject that is barely covered in high school before entering medical school. When you enter medical school, you come across professors who talk to you as if you have already understood everything and have been working on it for years.
So I am here to support you, help you and prepare you for the first semester organic chemistry exams.
I am in my 2nd year of a master's degree in medicine at UNIL and have experience with private lessons, having already given them for 4 years now.
