Support courses in Sciences (maths, physics, chemistry)

From 81 C$ /h

Graduated in materials science and engineering at EPFL in 2024, I finished my high school in the specific option of maths-physics. I have been giving private lessons since 2016, which allowed me to gain experience by helping children (primary school/secondary I), high school students or first-year students at UNIL/EPFL.
I therefore offer support hours for people who have difficulties in the field of basic sciences (math, physics, chemistry). I will try to answer the student's questions about the theory or a particular exercise as best I can. I generally prepare an introduction to help understand the important concepts on a given topic through examples and typical exercises.

Hope to meet you! 😊

About Me

My name is Alessia and I am a materials science and engineering engineer.
I have long been interested in knowledge transmission and teaching. I started tutoring in high school, working with students from secondary school through to university. During my studies at EPFL, I had the opportunity to work as a student assistant in linear algebra, helping first-year students with their problem-solving sessions.
I particularly enjoy helping students understand concepts that seem complicated to them, gain confidence, and see their progress. For me, learning is not about memorizing formulas or methods, but above all about understanding their logic and acquiring the necessary tools to solve problems independently.

I primarily offer tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. My approach is personalized: I adapt to each student's level, needs, and pace to find the method that best suits them.

During my lessons, we take the time to revisit concepts that are difficult and to solidify the fundamentals. To facilitate understanding, I like to use diagrams, concrete examples, and analogies with other fields. I also make sure to keep the student active during the lesson, encouraging them to think, ask questions, explain the concepts covered, and apply them.

My goal is for each student to leave with a better understanding of the subject matter, but also with more confidence in their abilities and the pleasure of progressing!

Outside of teaching, I enjoy tap dancing and playing music.

Hope to meet you ! :)

I help people from primary to gymnasium improve their proficiency level in french at writting and speaking. And because i have a background in Engeneering studies i can also help in Mathematics and physics.

Same goes with adults willing to learn french and for those who needsto start with the basics in English

I offer support, refresher and advanced courses in mathematics.
I adapt to everyone.
I have a dynamic and pedagogical approach.
My lessons can take place at your home or via a camera that films my writings, as well as a computer camera for videoconferencing. Thus, you can improve your level in mathematics wherever you are, without any geographical constraint, in a fun and effective way.

Acquiring methods, organizing knowledge and reasoning to solve exercises, using memorization techniques are often the important points to develop to enable the student to be independent and achieve their goals.

I am rather open and relaxed, while being precise and rigorous.

I am a secondary school teacher (retraining in 2021) after having been a chemical and textile engineer, and a former student of a preparatory class for the grandes écoles (higher and special maths).

For 12 years, I have been giving individual lessons to students of all levels, and more specifically to students preparing for the French scientific baccalaureate, the international baccalaureate or in cycle.

My classes are designed to help students with their homework, to help them prepare for a test by providing them with additional exercises to best guarantee their success.

I remain very attentive to my students by trying to give them all my help so that they can progress while keeping a good pace of work.

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.

Hello !

A striking phrase from my students: in class it's never clear but with you I understand everything!

I'm Lucas, 28 years old, and I'm passionate about teaching math and physics. For the past six years, I've been tutoring students of all ages and levels, aiming to make these subjects more accessible and less intimidating. If you're struggling a bit with math or physics, I'm here to help you regain confidence and progress at your own pace!

Each session is tailor-made for you: I take the time to prepare exercises and explanations adapted to your needs. It is not just a repetition of lessons, it is personalized support so that you achieve your goals, whether it is to catch up, prepare for an exam or simply go further in your knowledge.

My goal? That you enjoy learning and progress quickly thanks to captivating lessons, in a relaxed but serious atmosphere!

If you want to talk about it, don't hesitate to contact me to organize a first session!

See you soon,

Hi! My name is Losel, I'm an IB graduate who scored 7 in both Math AA HL and Physics HL. I've just graduated magna cum laude with a double bachelor in mathematics and physics from École Polytechnique (Paris) and am now doing a master's in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL.

I offer one-on-one online tutoring, with an iPad and camera setup so we can work through problems together in real time, just like in person. I can help with:

Concepts: Going through your lectures and building intuition, clearing up the hard concepts.

Exercises and past papers: Understanding the exercises (best way to get a good grade btw), as well as exam strategy and how to solve problems faster.

IA and EE: choosing a strong topic, structuring the paper, and refining drafts.

University applications: personal statements, choosing programs, mock technical interviews, and how to maximize your chances to get into a top uni.

I've been through the IB myself, so I know where it gets tough and how to succeed through it. No two students need the same thing, so we'll set clear goals together and work toward them at your pace.

I teach in English, but I also have a C1 in French, so we can mix. I also speak Portuguese and Danish fluently.

Message me for a first chat!
