Math courses for all levels from an EPFL and Johns Hopkins engineering student

From 74.08 C$ /h

This mathematics course is offered for all levels, from children to university students. With a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in the USA, I have studied all types of engineering related math in depth. I've also been an assistant for several courses during my time at EPFL, and tutored a 15-year-old student for 1.5 years online.

This course is offered mainly for students to help with understanding their lectures and/or as homework help. Together, we'll go over concepts you're still struggling with, and practice with exercises selected especially for you.

Extra information

It would be best if you could send me your course material and practice assignments/exercises in advance so that I can prepare for the class as well as possible.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Welcome to my Maths, Physics and Science tutoring class, crafted especially for young minds preparing for IB MYP, IGCSE, and GCSE exams. As a passionate learner and dedicated tutor, I am committed to helping students not only comprehend but also develop a love for these captivating subjects. Here's what you can anticipate from my tutoring sessions

Personalised Learning: Every learner is unique, and I believe in tailoring my teaching methods to suit each student's individual needs. I don't judge; instead, I concentrate on understanding their strengths and areas for improvement to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Concept Breakdown: I dissect complex topics into simpler, more manageable parts, making it easier for students to grasp challenging concepts and build a strong foundation in Physics and Science.

Student-Centred Approach: I enjoy teaching students and continually strive to ignite their curiosity and passion for learning. I aim to make each lesson engaging and enjoyable, helping students recognise the real-world applications of what they learn.

Shared Strategies: As a student who has successfully qualified for the Engineering Entrance exam test and is currently studying abroad on a fully funded scholarship, I bring my own learning strategies and study techniques to the table. These proven methods will help students achieve their academic goals.

Continuous Improvement: I am always learning and growing, just like my students. This continuous improvement mindset, which I actively promote, inspires and motivates students to strive for their best. It enables me to stay updated with the latest educational trends and techniques, ensuring that my students receive the best possible guidance.

Supportive Environment: I encourage students to ask questions, no matter how trivial they might seem. By creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, I ensure that students feel comfortable and open to express their doubts and curiosities, leading to a deeper understanding of the subjects.

Math is a nightmare for most of the students, if they do not understand the principle of math. Those who are good at math are usually bad at teaching math. Explore the method to learn math in a more principled and structural way, instead of memorising solution.

This course is designed to help you truly understand mathematics in a structured and practical way. Whether you are struggling with the basics or working toward advanced topics, lessons are tailored to your level and goals.

We focus on building strong foundations in algebra, functions, calculus, and problem-solving strategies. Instead of memorizing steps, you will learn to understand concepts and apply them confidently to exams and real-life problems.

Each lesson is interactive and structured, with step-by-step explanations using a digital whiteboard. The goal is steady progress, deeper understanding, and growing confidence in mathematics.

Hi I'm a college student, I have advanced knowledge in subjects like, algebra, calculous, math in general, physics, and some statistics. Also, I'm a native Spanish speaker, so I can also help you with grammar, pronunciation. My main goal is to help you understand the topics that you struggle with, because in my experience, sometimes what you need is a different approach of how things are done rather than it being too difficult.

IB Physics is one of the most technically demanding subjects at Diploma level. Success requires more than conceptual understanding — it requires structured exam execution.

This programme is designed for students aiming to move up grade boundaries through disciplined, examiner-aligned preparation.

Each student follows a structured performance cycle:

• Diagnostic assessment of current level
• Concept consolidation with precision
• Command term interpretation training
• Markscheme alignment and structured answer writing
• Timed past-paper simulation
• Error pattern analysis and refinement

Many capable students lose marks due to poor structure, misinterpreted command terms, or lack of exposure to examiner-style questions. These gaps are addressed directly.

Over the past year, students have improved by two to three grade boundaries within eight to ten weeks through targeted intervention and consistent practice.

Sessions are delivered online in a professional, interactive format and are suited to students preparing for mocks, final exams, or IA refinement.

Designed for serious students aiming for 6s and 7s.

My goal is simple: to make math understandable in a clear and logical way. Many students think they are "bad at math," when they simply need different and structured explanations.

During my classes, we work on:

The fundamental basics (calculation, fractions, equations)
Algebra
Functions
Geometry
Trigonometry
Probability (school level)
Preparing for tests and exams

I adapt to each student's level and pace. I explain step by step and provide simple methods for solving exercises effectively.

The goal is not just to pass a test, but to truly understand the logic behind mathematics.
