Mathematics course for Secondary I/
From 60 C$ /h
Are you looking for math support for your child in Secondary I? I offer private lessons adapted to the Vaud curriculum, either in person in Lausanne or online.
As an 18-year-old student in a sports-studies program at the gymnasium, I have just completed the mathematics program. This close familiarity with the subject matter allows me to understand precisely where students struggle: transitioning from concrete to abstract calculations, manipulating fractions and proportions, basic equations, linear functions, and plane geometry.
What we work on together:
• The concepts covered in class, based on textbooks and student exercises
• Occasional difficulties or blockages that arise
• Preparation of meaningful assessments and cantonal benchmark tests
• The method: how to read a problem statement, structure an answer, and verify a result
My teaching method: I adapt the pace to each student, I always start with the materials they use in class, and I place equal emphasis on understanding and confidence. Many students fall behind not because of a lack of ability, but because they have fallen behind on a few key concepts. Identifying these concepts and reviewing them thoroughly often changes their entire trajectory.

About Me
Hello, my name is Martí. I'm 18 years old, I'm in a sports-studies program in Lausanne, and I'm also training as a pre-professional dancer. Alongside this, I'm starting to give private lessons to middle school students.
Why teach? Because throughout my schooling, I was often the one others asked for help: to understand a math problem, to prepare for a language exam, to explain a concept that wasn't clear in class. I realized that I truly enjoyed that moment when you see a student grasp something they thought was beyond their reach. It's this experience that I now want to offer in a more structured way.
The kind of teacher I am? Calm, patient, and practical. I don't believe in lessons where you recite abstract rules for an hour. I prefer to start with an exercise the student couldn't solve, understand exactly where they got stuck, and then rebuild the concept from there. It's more effective and less boring.
The kind of students I appreciate? Honestly, all of them, as long as they're willing to try. Students who struggle with math, who think they're not cut out for languages, who have lost confidence after a bad grade: these are often the ones with whom progress is most visible. My personal experience in the sports-study program has taught me one thing: the difference is rarely made by talent, almost always by consistency and method.
I speak French, Spanish (native language), Catalan, Italian and English. My multilingualism gives me a concrete understanding of how one learns a language — and of what blocks French speakers when faced with Spanish, Italian or English.

English in Secondary I/II is often the time when students must move from basic vocabulary to a true mastery of grammar and expression. It is also the time when some begin to fall behind, due to a lack of regular practice outside of school.
I offer private English lessons for Secondary I students, level A2 to B1. We work on grammar (verb tenses, structures, prepositions), thematic vocabulary, written expression (compositions, emails) and oral expression (conversation, pronunciation, listening comprehension).
I have a B2 level in English and I use it regularly. Lessons can be structured around the student's textbook, or take the form of freer conversation practice for students who need to gain fluency.
My approach is practical: fewer rules to memorize, more real-life situations. Language is learned by practicing it, and it's through making mistakes that we progress. I adapt to each student's level and pace.

Italian is one of the most accessible languages for a French speaker: the grammar is similar, the vocabulary largely transparent, and the pronunciation logical. With a good method, one can reach a useful conversational level in a few months.
I offer Italian lessons for beginners and intermediate learners (levels A1 to B1). The curriculum includes grammar (conjugations, articles, prepositions, pronouns), everyday vocabulary, speaking, and listening comprehension. Lessons can prepare students for certification exams (CELI, CILS) or simply complement academic or personal learning.
I am familiar with the difficulties encountered at each level and the common pitfalls for a French speaker (false friends, irregularities, the subjunctive mood). I can teach both secondary school students (grades 7-9) and teenagers motivated by a personal project.
I adapt to each person's pace: some prefer a structured approach based on a manual, others learn better through conversation and gradual immersion.
