About Me

After a career in finance in France and the United States, where I lived for 7 years, I chose to dedicate myself to teaching. I love sharing knowledge, and seeing my students progress is truly rewarding.

Maths (primary school to age 15)

Strengthening the basics and filling gaps
Understanding concepts rather than memorising
Regular practice and clear problem-solving methods
Preparation for tests and the brevet (French end-of-middle-school exam)

English (all levels)

Grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension
Speaking practice to build fluency
Homework help and exam preparation (brevet, baccalauréat)
Real-life English from 7 years of living in the US

My approach

An initial meeting to assess level and set goals
Lessons tailored to each student's pace
A rigorous study method, useful in every subject
Regular feedback to parents

Results
Depending on their starting point, my students have improved by 2 to over 10 points out of 20. Beyond grades, my goal is to help them regain confidence and enjoy learning again.

Education

I hold a Master of Finance from France and an MBA from the United States. These degrees gave me a strong foundation in mathematics, logic and analytical thinking, which I now use to explain maths concepts clearly and step by step, showing students not just how to solve a problem but why it works.

My MBA, completed entirely in English, immersed me in the American academic and business world. It sharpened my communication, presentation and writing skills, which I pass on to students and professionals who want to speak English with confidence, especially in a business context.

Studying at a demanding level in two countries also taught me discipline, organisation and effective study methods. I share these with every student, because good results come from good habits as much as from understanding.

Finally, having been an international student myself, I know what it feels like to learn in another language and adapt to a new culture. This helps me support my students with patience, empathy and encouragement.

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.

Graduated with CELFLE / CELTA diploma, I have teaching experiences with adults also with children.

Whatever the level and situation of the student, I adapt to the needs, wishes, objectives while delivering my own expertise and approach in order to identify possible gaps and focus on points to work as a priority.

Serious, caring, motivated, involved, pedagogue and punctual, I am very involved in the success of each of my students to allow them to progress and am available to answer their questions or those of their parents even outside the hours of course. I offer a personalized pedagogical accompaniment and aims at transmitting effective and proven working methods. I also seek to empower and empower students, to give them the confidence they need, and to be demanding so that they succeed.

I have been teaching for more than 20 years in Geneva(Organizations/Group courses/Preparation for Delf etc..) at all levels and for the past years I have specialized in Survival modules and exam preparation for Fide exam( required for permit B/ C and citizenship) Usually I come to student's home and we have 1 or 2 lessons of 1h30 peer week depending on their needs and focus..As I am teaching between Geneva and Nyon, I am more in favor of meeting the students at their home.
Let me know if I could be of any help and then we could organize a meeting depending on your availabilities

Kind regards / Best regards

Graduated in mathematics and physics, I offer my help to students who encounter difficulties in these two subjects. My approach is to review with them the key points of the lessons and to assist them in their homework, whether at home or through online sessions via webcam.
Do not hesitate to contact me for a first request; I usually respond within 24 hours.
My goal is to help the student understand his course and his exercises, and to guide him on the right path so that he can succeed in his school or university year. I support students of all levels, from 14 years old to the second year of university, in the fields of science, economics or any other field where courses in mathematics, statistics, computer science and physics are exempted.
Classes can be given at home (with a price including the class and travel expenses) or by webcam (with a specific price for the online course).
For rehearsal sessions, I generally recommend between 1 and 2 hours per week, and up to 10 hours per week for intensive review and refresher courses.

Need a catch-up, tutoring, private lessons or help with homework in mathematics? In computer science ? In logic?
I'm here for you!
I offer you a personalized approach; because there is no one method that works for everyone, I adapt to the needs and requests of each student (and their parents). The first hour of class will be used to define the student's needs, deadlines and strengths.
My courses are aimed at secondary school students of all levels, higher education students and anyone wishing to refresh or strengthen their knowledge of mathematics and computer science. I have been helping friends and acquaintances on a voluntary basis for a long time in the success of their studies and I hope to be able to put this experience to the benefit of your success :)

As a teacher specializing in mathematics, physics and computer science, I offer private lessons at home for college levels in Switzerland, as well as up to the second year of university and high school. I am entirely devoted to home schooling and I am ready to support motivated students who wish to make considerable progress in these subjects.

Depending on your needs and objectives, my support will allow you to:
- Put you back on the path to success if you are in a situation of failure.
- Quickly improve your grades in math, physics and computer science.
- Obtain excellent results in your end-of-year exams (baccalaureate/maturity).
- Deepen the final year program in order to prepare you optimally for university or a preparatory class at a Grande Ecole.

It is important to note that regular and sufficient personal work on the part of the student is essential in addition to private lessons. Without this personal investment, the effectiveness of lessons can be significantly reduced.

However, when the student provides adequate personal work, a significant improvement in results is systematically obtained. I am here to support you in this process and help you achieve your academic goals.

A 45-year-old woman, trained as an engineer and consultant at the consulting firm Ingénieurs Conseils Associés (ICA) in Geneva, I offer private tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry for middle school, high school, and upper secondary levels throughout the Greater Geneva area, including neighboring France. I leverage my dual technical and pedagogical expertise to help students overcome their difficulties and regain confidence by working on methodology, reinforcing fundamental concepts, preparing for exams, and assisting with homework. My daily experience in engineering allows me to illustrate abstract concepts with concrete examples and demonstrate the practical application of science to make complex subjects more accessible and engaging.

The path and the method are in there; take a little bit of each.

Holding a degree in mathematics from EPFL, I offer private lessons in Geneva or online.

I graduated from EPFL with a degree in mathematics, having completed all the Bachelor's level courses in this discipline. I have gained significant experience tutoring students from middle school to university level (mathematics and physics). I have also assisted with teaching at EPFL, particularly in specialized courses such as analytic geometry (advanced mathematics course), analysis (first and second year Bachelor's level), and linear algebra (first year Bachelor's level). My in-depth mastery of the theory in these disciplines provides me with the skills and teaching abilities necessary to effectively support high school and university students, helping them understand the theoretical concepts in their courses and apply them practically in their exercises.

Typical course: a quick review (adapted to needs) of the essential concepts of the course, followed by practical exercises and oral role-playing (going to the board, discussion on the physical meaning, etc.), as in a competitive oral exam.

All my lessons are prepared in advance based on the topics covered in class (the student specifies their needs from one session to the next). I also create a handout containing sample exercises illustrating different methods, fully corrected and explained by me.

My commitment to my students' success is absolute. I only prioritize motivated students who are ready to put in the necessary effort to progress.

My main focus is on in-depth understanding and the quality of work. Depending on the student's request, I can also suggest exercises to do between sessions (not mandatory, depending on available time and homework already assigned by their school).

I am a bilingual gymnasium student currently in my second year, with a strong academic background including a maths and physics focus. I have several years of experience supporting students in the region with their schoolwork and exam preparation.

I offer personalized academic tutoring for students from 5H to 11H in core subjects such as mathematics, English, and French.

As I am still a student myself, I understand the challenges, stress, and difficulties that school can bring. This allows me to explain concepts in a simple and relatable way.

My lessons are adapted to each student’s level and needs, whether the goal is to improve grades, prepare for exams, or develop better study methods and organization skills. I aim to create a calm and supportive environment where students can gain confidence and make steady progress.

I believe that having the opportunity to learn is something we should make the most of. As students, we do not always feel motivated to study, but learning and developing good working habits can open so many doors for the future. I would love to help children not only understand their subjects better, but also gain confidence, perseverance and, hopefully, a genuine interest in learning.

I am still a student myself, so I understand the difficulties and frustrations that can come with studying. I want my lessons to be adapted to each student, their needs and the way they learn best. I am flexible with the subjects and topics they would like to work on, and my goal is to create a positive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and improving at their own pace.

For me, tutoring is not just about getting better grades, but about helping students realise that the effort they put in today can give them many more opportunities tomorrow.
