From 57 C$ /h

Whether you're in a preparatory class for engineering schools (scientific track or business school), a bachelor's degree, an engineering school, or a master's program, higher-level mathematics moves quickly, and a poorly understood concept can hold you back from an entire chapter. This course is designed to help you truly understand, and then master, the material.

Graduate engineer from CentraleSupélec, eligible for the agrégation option probability-statistics (2026), I am preparing a doctorate in AI applied to automation and I have taught more than 400 hours at the university.

Each session is tailored to your needs: questions from the week, practice exams or midterms to prepare for, or a particularly challenging exercise. I begin with intuitive approaches (diagrams, concrete examples, sometimes a Python simulation), then we move on to more rigorous methods: definitions, key proofs, and the writing style expected in competitive exams. You then work through progressively challenging exercises and leave with a summary of the methods.

Areas of expertise: analysis, linear algebra, probability, statistics, financial mathematics and mathematical foundations of machine learning.

About Me

I teach because I love seeing an abstract concept finally become clear. Trained as an engineer, I worked for over ten years in the energy sector, in about ten countries, using mathematics every day to solve real-world problems. I then chose to return to more theoretical and cutting-edge subjects: applied mathematics, AI, and quantitative finance.

I am a demanding but supportive teacher. I always start with intuition before moving towards rigor, and I enjoy curious students who want to understand rather than memorize: students in preparatory classes, undergraduates, engineering schools, or master's programs. Lessons are offered in French or English.

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.

Are you a university student, engineer, or professional who needs to actually use data — not just learn theory about it?
This course is built around real problems and real code. We skip the textbook formulas and go straight to applying statistics and data science the way professionals do: with Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib) and R (RStudio).
What we cover, adapted to your level and goals:
- Descriptive and inferential statistics (the ones that actually matter)
- Data cleaning, exploration, and visualization
- Regression, classification, and intro to machine learning
- Time series and forecasting basics
- R for statistical analysis and academic research

Who this is for:
- University students in statistics, economics, engineering, or biology
- Professionals wanting to move into data analysis or data science
- Researchers who need to process and present data properly

I use Python and R professionally as a working engineer — everything I teach comes from real application, not just academic exercises.

As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material!

We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition.

The sessions generally take place according to the following stages:

1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps.

2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises.

3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach.

4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course.

I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach.

In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.

Do you have a statistics or probability exam in BA1/BA2? I can help you review the material in a clear, structured and exam-oriented way.

I support higher education students (university and college), particularly in their first and second years of undergraduate studies, to understand important concepts, redo practical exercises, and practice with exam-style questions.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the logic behind formulas, know when to use them, recognize correct reasoning in a statement, and gain autonomy when facing exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Descriptive statistics:
mean, median, variance, standard deviation, quartiles, quantiles, coefficient of variation, box plots, histograms, graphs, interpretation of tables and data.

• Univariate and bivariate statistics:
analysis of one variable, analysis of two variables, scatter plots, covariance, correlation, regression line, coefficient of determination, interpretation of relationships between variables.

• Probabilities:
events, union, intersection, complement, conditional probabilities, independence, Bayes' theorem, probability trees, contingency tables.

• Combinatorial probabilities:
permutations, arrangements, combinations, draws with or without replacement, counting, classic exam situations.

• Random variables:
discrete and continuous variables, probability function, density function, distribution function, expectation, variance, standard deviation, variable transformation.

• Probability laws:
Bernoulli distribution, binomial distribution, normal distribution, standard normal distribution, Student's t-distribution, chi-square distribution, use of statistical tables according to your course.

• Statistical inference:
sampling, estimators, point estimation, confidence intervals, margin of error, degrees of freedom, confidence level.

• Hypothesis testing:
null hypothesis H0, alternative hypothesis H1, significance threshold, p-value, one-tailed or two-tailed test, test on a mean, test on a proportion, chi-square test, interpretation of results.

• Exam preparation:
reading statements, choosing the right method, identifying the formulas to use, typical exercises, past exams, guided corrections and problem-solving methods.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

For students retaking the exam, I also offer more intensive support: level assessment, priority identification, review of fundamentals, and practice with typical exercises and past exams. The goal is to get straight to the point and work efficiently within the time available before the exam.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

I offer online math tutoring for students in Grades 6 to 10 (covering Middle School Math, local Matric Math, and GCSE/IGCSE Math).

Math can sometimes feel like a puzzle with too many confusing rules, but once the basic steps are clear, it becomes much easier. Here is how we work together during our sessions:

Breaking down difficult topics like algebra, geometry, and fractions into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

Solving homework problems together and clearing up any confusions on the spot.

Practicing past board papers and school test questions so you feel completely confident before your exams.

Send me a message if you want to chat about what math topics you need help with!

Are you preparing for the Lebanese Baccalaureate and can follow the steps, but don’t know why they work? This class is for Grade 10 to 12 students who want to understand Math and Physics, not just memorize them.

I’m a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering with a Diplôme d’Ingénieur and 5 years of teaching experience. We start with a problem you find difficult, and I find exactly where your reasoning breaks. Then we work together, like colleagues, to understand the method and connect it to real life or to something you care about.

You will learn to:
Understand the reason behind each method
Solve unfamiliar questions on your own
Apply what you learn to past official exam questions
Feel calmer and more confident before exams
Make a clearer decision about your university path

AI can now solve almost any homework problem in seconds. But it won’t sit your exam for you. In this class, you learn how to study, how to think through new problems, and how to use tools like AI to reach your own goals.
