About Me

I’m Leila, a science tutor with a PhD in Developmental Biology, a Master in Neuroscience, and a Bachelor's in Molecular Biology. I’ve lived and studied in different countries, which has taught me to adapt quickly to new environments, and to different learning styles. Whether your child is a curious 5-year-old or a focused 17-year-old preparing for exams, I adjust my approach to match their pace, language (English, French, Italian), and interests. My goal is to make science feel clear, fun, and within reach.

📍 Based in Lausanne — available in-person or online.

Hello,

I graduated from EPFL (Lausanne) in chemistry and molecular biology, and I have been teaching chemistry at university level for several years.

I offer tutoring in general chemistry and organic chemistry for university students, particularly in medicine, biology, pharmacy and geosciences.

With several years of experience in academic support, I adapt my teaching method to the needs of each student in order to help them consolidate their knowledge, fill their gaps and succeed in their exams.

As a patient and attentive teacher, I strive to make even the most complex concepts clear and accessible.

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

Regards,

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.

Active, playful, rigorous method.
We understand your needs, your strengths and weaknesses, we create a tailor-made program based on a learning strategy to make the material simple, obvious, accessible.

possibility to prepare specific exams, to catch up on something not understood, to deepen a subject, to have a good general level ... in all subjects.

Hello,

I am an EPFL graduate student who has followed and helped more than 50 students to pass their year for maths, physics and chemistry.

Last year I had 4 students who were taking their exams to obtain their federal maturities (private school) and contacted me for regular courses during the year. They all had excellent results in maths and physics. I even have a student who had 6 in her federal math exam..... (she didn't know much before starting lessons with me and now she's a hit!)

If you need help, I offer group and individual lessons in Lausanne (1014) or by zoom (depending on your preference).
Individual lesson (1 person)
Group lessons (2 people)
Group lessons (3 people)
Questions or you can already book your first lesson

Hello !
As a 1st year master's student at EPFL, I want to make life easier for my students!
Motivated, we will look together for solutions for a better understanding and simplification of the subject.
The lessons will follow the school/university curriculum, but I will not hesitate to devote time to the basics if necessary.

The courses revolve around solving exercises and repeating basic theory in order to understand the key concepts. I also help with homework and preparation for oral and written exams.

Looking forward to working together!

Great experience of school failures. Msc Statistics.SPE approach
Your student fails HARMOS OR GYM? I'm the man for the job Often, after 12 years of rehearsal, I've noticed that math is rarely the problem.
I have a global and fun approach so that:
-Your child succeeds in his year
-that he likes this material.
ATTENTION INTENSIVE COURSES WITH ME!

Hi! I'm Thibault, a French expatriate in Switzerland, passionate about science since I was little. I had the chance to turn this passion into a career, with a degree from one of the best engineering schools in France (the equivalent of EPFL) and a PhD in statistical physics applied to biology. Today, I want to share this knowledge and passion with you!

In my private lessons, we will explore together the mysteries of science, from physics to biology, including math and chemistry. No stress, we will take the time to understand each concept, with concrete examples and fun experiments. Whether you are in middle school, high school or even university, I adapt to your level to help you progress at your own pace. And since I am mobile in Romandie, we can meet wherever you want for these scientific discovery sessions!
