Scientist working on cutting-edge AI. Prev: researcher at EPFL, PhD in Mathematical Physics. Experience with IB and Cambridge STEP prep.

From 212 C$ /h

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.

🌟 Patient and passionate, I have solid experience with the EHL and HEIG-VD programs in business economics.

I myself taught mathematics in AP and Bosc 1 📚, also the business economics mathematics program of HEIG-VD (1st and 2nd years) for more than 10 years, following the book by Jean-Pierre Favre.

My approach:
👤 Personal coach: I work on your exercises, the ones that actually appear on the exam
😌 Anxiety relief: I'm demystifying math, point by point
💡 Lasting breakthrough: I help you understand the logic, not just memorize it

And it works. Many students who initially feared math end up appreciating it, sometimes even loving it. Mathematics is like a little story. It's not just a series of letters, numbers, and symbols. I'll tell you this story using everyday language, without unnecessary jargon.

And what about another really cheap solution?
🎯 I offer self-learning, a program adapted to the real requirements of economic sectors, those you will encounter from the first weeks, at different pricing conditions, without any competition.

Why trust me?
As a mother of four student children (aged 18 to 24) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, I fully understand the challenges and pressures.

✅ I coach you on your specific exercises, not on generic problems. This isn't a general math lesson. You decide the list of exercises to complete during the two-hour session. This way, you're best prepared for the types of questions your teacher might ask.

Terms:
📍 In-person: for concrete explanations and direct exchanges
💻 Online: from the comfort of your home, same efficiency
📅 Hours: Monday to Sunday. Contact me to arrange a time that suits your schedule.

Proper preparation is always cheaper than repeating a year 💰.

📩 Book your first session now, places are limited, especially with exams approaching.

Hi everyone!

I offer math lessons suitable for all grade levels.

I am 32 years old, I come from Italy, and my university education includes a bachelor's, a master's and a doctorate in mathematics (the last at EPFL). I am in the process of following a training course in pedagogy at the HEP in Lausanne to be able to teach in gymnasiums. I have experience with one-to-one private lessons for high school students, and I also spent five years as an assistant at EPFL for different bachelor and master courses.

I am deeply convinced that mathematics can be accessible to everyone, if approached with the right approach. I look forward to helping you on your educational journey!

See you soon,
Ricardo

As we often say, mathematics is the basis of everything in life. We do mathematics every day without knowing it, in driving, we measure the overtaking distance before starting to overtake safely, in the kitchen, our mothers measure the amount of salt to put in each meal. In short, we do mathematics in everyday life without knowing it. I know that it is the subject that scares many students but I tell you the truth it is the simplest subject of all. You just have to know the principles and do a lot of exercises that's all.
English is the international language, everywhere you go in the world you encounter English, so knowing how to speak it is a great asset and helps you move freely around the world without restrictions.

As a substitute teacher for the Canton of Vaud, I hold a high school diploma (economics option, Auguste Piccard Gymnasium) and have completed two years of studies at HEC UNIL. My classroom teaching experience allows me to effectively support students in their academic progress.

I offer private tutoring in mathematics, economics, French, and English (native speaker), from primary school to high school level. I adapt my teaching methods to each student's pace and needs, with the goal of building confidence and improving academic performance.

Each session is structured around the student's specific needs: reviewing poorly understood concepts, targeted exercises, and preparation for exams and assessments. My goal is to make learning accessible and motivating, highlighting progress made at each stage.

Based in Lausanne, I am available for in-person or video conference meetings, according to your preferences.

I offer private math lessons for all levels, up to (maybe) the second year of university. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from EPFL, I have been an assistant since 2023 in several courses, mainly in analysis and linear algebra. I have also corrected exams for the CMS and MàN programs. At the same time, I participated in the mentoring program as a tutor, a support program for first-year mathematics students. My role was to help them understand the courses, solve exercises, and prepare for exams. The students I followed throughout the year all obtained an average above 5.

My way of teaching would be to explain my point of view, to give concrete examples of application of the results seen in class, to explain the logical progression of the course, to give a proof of the result or sometimes just to make a drawing. I am a student myself, and I understand the difficulty one can have in visualizing concepts, so I am open to criticism and flexible on my way of teaching.

I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, tailored to each student's level and needs. The goal is to review essential concepts and understand problem-solving methods.

The sessions are personalized and can cover exam preparation, exercise correction, in-depth exploration of certain concepts, etc. I favor a pedagogical approach using analogies or real-life situations whenever possible, taking the time to explain concepts in different ways until they are fully understood.
