English, French or Dutch lessons for all levels

73 C$ /h

I am trilingual: I was born in the Netherlands with Dutch parents, I went to English boarding school and I finished my schooling in France and I currently live in Lausanne.
I have already given French, Dutch and English lessons in Lausanne so I am experienced with this (also on Apprentus). I am able to give lessons for all levels: from beginner to very experienced. For those interested in a preparation concerning literature rather, I am also able to give lessons (I had 20/20 on my French BAC).

Dear student,

I am a chemist graduated from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). I have always been fascinated by science and now I hold a doctorate in solid-state physics from the University of Geneva.

Science subjects can help you pass exams. I have been teaching these disciplines for many years during exercise sessions held at the University as well as in private lessons given as an independent.

For this reason, you will have the possibility to ask me for explanations on any subject. It is indeed useful that you can progress on the basis of what you already know. You will of course have the choice to ask me for remedial lessons to revise or discover entire chapters. Before the first lesson starts, I will invite you to explain your situation to me freely and free of charge so that we can work effectively from the first lesson.

All scientific subjects have in common a method that is called "scientific logic". Whenever the opportunity arises, I will offer you elements of this method because it is this method that will allow you to understand durably and to solve the exercises rigorously.

Your studies are serious business, demand that you be taken seriously.

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.

As a Master's student in Mechanical Engineering at EPFL, and holder of a Bachelor's degree in the same discipline, I have acquired a solid mastery of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. My academic background has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of scientific concepts as well as experience in their practical application.

I offer courses tailored to students up to high school level, whether to reinforce the basics, prepare for exams, or delve deeper into certain topics. My goal is to make science accessible and motivating, helping each student progress at their own pace.

During the lessons, we will work together to understand key concepts and put them into practice through a variety of exercises. I place great importance on personalized support, so that the student gains confidence, autonomy, and develops an effective working method.

I offer tutoring in math (algebra, analysis, statistics), physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, fluid mechanics), chemistry, materials mechanics or programming (C, python, MATLAB).

I have extensive experience in tutoring, an activity I have been practicing for about 7 years with different students.

I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from EPFL and am currently pursuing a master's degree there. I can adapt to the student's level.

I offer academic support and homework help in science subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.). I obtained my scientific Baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

Before each lesson, I like to glance at the chapter or exercises to refresh my memory on certain theorems or formulas if necessary. This allows me to arrive prepared and explain the concepts clearly and in a structured way.

During the lesson, I guide your child step by step, taking the time to re-explain concepts, review the basics if necessary, and help them gain confidence. My goal is not just to solve the exercises, but above all to ensure they truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

Mathematics and physics form the basis of many scientific fields of study, but they can sometimes seem abstract or difficult to grasp on your own. In my courses, I guide students to help them understand the concepts in depth, progress at their own pace, and gain confidence.

Students can send me the topic of the lesson or their specific questions in advance, so that I can prepare a suitable and effective session.

I am also bilingual in Italian. Although it is not my native language, I particularly enjoy teaching it and helping beginners acquire a solid foundation. My Italian lessons are conversation-based, with supplementary grammar and conjugation exercises to ensure natural and enjoyable progress.

I mainly teach remotely, which allows for great flexibility and personalized support, wherever you are.

Having graduated with a Master's degree in physics from EPFL, specializing in astrophysics, I offer private tutoring in mathematics and physics for secondary school students, gymnasium students and students at the beginning of higher education.

I have several years of experience in teaching: assistant in mechanics and thermodynamics at EPFL, private tutoring in mathematics and physics, as well as various teaching and science outreach activities.

My method

My goal is not to make people learn formulas by heart, but to make them truly understand the concepts and reasoning behind them.

My first step is to identify the problem: a poorly understood concept, weak foundations, difficulty translating a problem into equations, or simply a lack of methodology. We then reconstruct the reasoning step by step before applying it to exercises.

The goal is for the student to gradually become capable of solving problems independently, rather than mechanically reproducing a method.

I can help with, in particular:

understanding and resuming the lesson;
exercises and homework;
consolidation of the foundations;
preparation for tests, exams, maturity or baccalaureate;
methodology and problem-solving;
refresher or advanced training.

Places:

📍 On the EPFL campus
💻 Online
🏠 Home delivery within a radius of approximately 7 km around Renens

Feel free to contact me, indicating your level, the subject matter, and the difficulties or objectives you wish to work on.

Je dispose d'une solide formation académique en mathématiques, jusqu'à l'Analyse I et II incluses. J'ai également de bonnes connaissances en physique et en chimie au niveau scolaire, pour toutes les années. Étant moi-même étudiante, je connais très bien le processus d'apprentissage et les difficultés que rencontrent les élèves, ce qui m'aide à expliquer les notions de manière claire et structurée.

I know what it's like to get stuck on a problem or not understand a concept even after rereading the material several times because I've been there too. My goal isn't just to give you the answer, but to help you actually understand: whether that means prepping for an exam, working through exercises, or getting a firmer grip on the theory.

A lot of teachers explain things in overly technical or abstract ways. I prefer to break concepts down, rephrase them until they click for you with no judgment if something doesn't sink in on the first try.

I taught math for a year at Phassyl Private Education, working with students from middle school level up through maturité and first-year EPFL. I'm also happy to work with younger students if needed. I'm currently a 3rd-year Microengineering student at EPFL myself, so I know the demands of bachelor's-level coursework and the common traps that cost points on exams.

Every session is tailored to your pace and what you need at the time: reinforcing fundamentals, prepping for a test, or simply revisiting a chapter that didn't quite land the first time.

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.

Based on the material covered in school, I take the time to re-explain the concepts and review the methods used in the exercises so that the student can develop their intuition. I offer this approach in mathematics as well as chemistry for all levels up to high school.

Passionate about sharing knowledge, I offer personalized tutoring in science to help each student unlock their potential. My approach is based on a crucial balance: kindness and high expectations. I understand how intimidating or discouraging some subjects can seem; that's why I take the time to create a warm and reassuring learning environment where patience is valued and no question is silly. But kindness goes hand in hand with clear objectives: we're here to work effectively and achieve real results. During our sessions, we don't just recite the material; we unlock the logic of the concepts, develop a rigorous methodology, and practice with targeted exercises. Whether it's to fill in gaps in knowledge, boost confidence, improve grades, or strive for exam excellence, I tailor each lesson to the student's specific needs to help them progress at their own pace. Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your goals and schedule an initial session together!
