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.

With over 18 years of experience and a degree in Mathematics, Analysis, Matrices, Statistics, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geology, I offer private lessons in French programs for students in their final year of high school, the French Brevet, and secondary schools, as well as the international IB program in English (Grades 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). I also prepare students for competitive exams and university preparatory classes for medical or first and second year university studies, either at home or online using a modern and professional method that is much better than webcam and better than in-person lessons.
The online method is easily done via a link that serves as a writing surface, typing and projection, similar to Zoom for communication. This method is very modern and reliable (it's like being in the same place).
My students' results are superb, with achievements in very good, good and sometimes excellent grades.
Homework help for CNED students.

Struggling with math, physics, or chemistry? You're not alone — these subjects are hard, and classroom explanations are rarely enough.
I offer personalized tutoring for middle school, high school, and early university students following the French Mission curriculum, the Moroccan national curriculum, or the international baccalaureate.
Topics covered:

Mathematics: algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, probability
Physics: mechanics, electricity, optics, thermodynamics
Chemistry: organic, inorganic, stoichiometry, reactions

My approach:
I don't re-explain the textbook — I identify exactly where your understanding breaks down and fix it from there. Each session is built around your specific difficulties, not a preset program.
I completed CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) in Mathematics and Physics before graduating as a State Engineer — I know these subjects at an advanced level and I know where students typically get lost.
Individual and small group sessions available. Online (worldwide) in French, Arabic, or English.

An exam is coming up and your child doesn't know where to start? Is the Baccalaureate or Brevet exam approaching and they lack method or confidence?
He knows the material but loses his composure when faced with an exercise?
He makes repetitive mistakes despite his revisions?
He doesn't know how to organize his revision?
There isn't enough time to review all the chapters?
Or does he simply want to prepare himself seriously to achieve better results?
I can help him organize his work, target his difficulties and train effectively.
I am a mathematics teacher with 15 years of teaching experience and hold a Master's degree in mathematics. I tutor middle and high school students, particularly in the French and Moroccan curricula.
🎯 Preparation tailored to the student's objective
Good preparation is not just about doing a lot of exercises.
First, we need to identify:
• concepts that are not mastered;
• errors that recur regularly;
• methods that the student does not yet know how to use;
• the priority chapters;
• the actual level of preparation.
Next, we implement a targeted and progressive approach.
📝 Preparation for tests and exams
Depending on the level and objective, we can work on:
• review of essential concepts;
• classic exercises and more complex exercises;
• the exam topics;
• problems requiring multiple steps of reasoning;
• the problem-solving methodology;
• drafting the solutions;
• time management;
• the analysis and correction of errors;
• the strategies to use when faced with different types of exercises.
For the Brevet or the Baccalaureate, we can also work from past exam papers to gradually familiarize the student with the exam format.
🔎 A method based on errors
An error is not simply something to be corrected.
It allows us to understand what is not yet mastered.
During the sessions, we therefore analyze the errors to determine their origin, then we repeat the method until the student is able to solve a similar exercise independently.
Understand → Practice → Identify errors → Correct → Repeat → Master
💻 Interactive online courses
The classes are held remotely using Google Meet and an interactive whiteboard.
The student works directly with me during the session. It's not simply a matter of looking at a solution: they must search, explain their reasoning and participate actively.
I can also send him screenshots of the work done during the session to facilitate revisions.
🏆 15 years of experience
I have worked with many students of varying levels and difficulties.
For my final year students who were tutored in mathematics, I achieved a 100% success rate in the Baccalaureate, with 75% obtaining a distinction of "Bien" or "Très Bien".
This experience allows me to adapt the work to the available time and the actual level of the student, especially when an exam is approaching.
👨‍🎓 For which students?
• College
• High school
• Second
• First
• Final year
• Preparation for the Brevet exam
• Preparation for the Baccalaureate
• Preparation for inspections
• Students needing a refresher course before an exam
The French and Moroccan programs are taken into account.
📩 An exam is coming up?
In your message, please tell me:
• the student's level;
• the type of examination or test;
• the date;
• the relevant chapters;
• the main difficulties encountered.
This will allow me to determine priorities and propose work that is adapted to the time available.
The goal is to prepare the student effectively, to correct their priority difficulties and to enable them to approach their exam with more method and confidence.

Students following American-style academic pathways often need very specific support. They are not only learning Mathematics, Science or Statistics; they are also preparing for systems where GPA, course grades, AP results, SAT/ACT scores and university applications can all matter at the same time. American High School courses, AP exams, SAT and ACT preparation require strong foundations, fast problem-solving, clear reasoning and regular practice with the right type of questions.
This is exactly where I help.

→ I am a Switzerland-based tutor with a strong academic background in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and technical sciences. My education in the Swiss higher education system has shaped the way I teach: precise, structured, logical and focused on real understanding.

→ Over the years, I have taught many students from international schools, American-style school programmes, British curriculum schools and Swiss schools. Through this experience, I have become very familiar with the common difficulties students face in SAT Math, ACT Math, ACT Science, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Chemistry and American High School Math and Science courses.

→ I also work with previous exam papers, official-style practice questions, AP-style exercises, SAT/ACT-style questions and topic-based material. This allows my lessons to be highly exam-focused. Students do not only learn the theory; they practice the type of questions they are likely to meet in school tests, AP exams, SAT/ACT exams and final assessments.

→ MY MAIN TEACHING FOCUS

→ I mainly support students in SAT Math, ACT Math, ACT Science, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Chemistry and American High School Math and Science courses.

→ This includes Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Probability, Functions, Graphs, Trigonometry, Vectors, Mechanics, Electricity, Waves, Stoichiometry, Equilibrium, Acids and Bases, Kinetics and Electrochemistry.

→ I also support students who are preparing for university entrance exams, school-specific assessments, placement tests or international university applications where strong Mathematics and Science results are important.

→ SPECIFIC SUPPORT FOR SAT, ACT, AP AND AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL COURSES

For SAT Math, I help students improve speed, accuracy and confidence. The main focus is on Algebra, functions, quadratic equations, systems of equations, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, probability and word problems. SAT Math questions often test familiar topics in unfamiliar ways, so students need strong foundations and smart exam technique. I teach students how to recognize patterns, avoid traps and solve questions efficiently under time pressure.

→ For ACT Math, I support students with the wide range of topics tested in the exam. ACT Math is fast, broad and time-sensitive, so students need both knowledge and strategy. I help students revise key areas such as algebra, geometry, functions, trigonometry, probability and statistics, while also improving timing, accuracy and decision-making during the exam.

→ For ACT Science, I focus on graph reading, table interpretation, experimental reasoning and scientific data analysis. Many students think ACT Science is mainly about memorizing Biology, Chemistry or Physics facts, but in reality it tests how quickly and accurately students can understand scientific information. I train students to read graphs, compare data, understand experiments and answer questions under time pressure.

→ For AP Calculus AB, I support students with limits, derivatives, applications of differentiation, integrals, applications of integration and basic differential equations. I help students understand the logic behind calculus, not only memorize rules. Students learn how to connect graphs, formulas, word problems and written explanations.

→ For AP Calculus BC, I cover all AP Calculus AB topics and also support students with more advanced topics such as sequences, series, convergence tests, Taylor series, parametric equations, polar functions and advanced integration ideas. AP Calculus BC requires strong algebra, clear thinking and regular exam-style practice.

→ For AP Statistics, I help students with descriptive statistics, probability, distributions, sampling, experimental design, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression and interpretation of results. AP Statistics is not only about calculations; students also need to explain results clearly in words. I help them write answers in the correct statistical language.

→ For AP Physics, I support students with mechanics, forces, energy, momentum, circular motion, rotation, electricity, circuits, waves and other topics depending on the exact AP Physics course. The focus is on understanding concepts, choosing the correct formula, using units properly and explaining physical reasoning clearly.

→ For AP Chemistry, I help students with stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids and bases, kinetics and electrochemistry. Students often struggle because Chemistry combines theory, formulas and multi-step calculations. I break the topic down clearly and practice exam-style questions until the method becomes understandable.

→ WHY EXPERIENCE WITH THESE EXAMS MATTERS

→ Every American-style exam and course has its own logic. SAT Math often tests simple topics in clever ways and rewards speed, accuracy and pattern recognition. ACT Math is broad and time-pressured, so students need both knowledge and fast decision-making. ACT Science is not mainly about memorizing science facts; it focuses on graphs, tables, experiments, data interpretation and scientific reasoning.

→ AP exams are different again. AP Calculus requires deep understanding of limits, derivatives, integrals and applications. AP Statistics requires careful interpretation, correct language and clear reasoning. AP Physics and AP Chemistry require students to connect concepts with calculations and explain their thinking clearly.

→ Because I have taught many students preparing for these subjects, I understand the difference between knowing the topic and being able to perform well under exam conditions. A student may understand the lesson in school, but still lose marks because the method is incomplete, the explanation is unclear, the calculation is rushed, or the question is misunderstood.

→ That is why my lessons are not random. I use a structured system: first we build the foundation, then we practice topic-based questions, and then we move towards mixed exam-style problems. This helps students become more confident, faster and more independent.

Videoconference classes for students in grades 6, 5, 4 and 3 of the French program, both in France and in the network of French schools abroad.

In middle school, difficulties in math rarely stem from the current chapter. They almost always originate from a foundation established two or three years earlier: fractions, proportionality, algebraic expressions. As long as these concepts aren't revisited, each new chapter exacerbates the situation. My work begins by identifying this missing foundation.

Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics), more than five years of private tutoring for students in the AEFE and Mission laïque networks, in both public and private institutions.

What we are working on

Numbers, fractions, algebraic expressions, equations
Proportionality, percentages, statistics
Plane geometry, theorems of Thales and Pythagoras, transformations
Preparation for the patent
Working method: read a problem statement, choose an approach, check a result

The process

Initial assessment during the first sessions, a catch-up plan, followed by a regular weekly schedule. I align with the classroom teacher's approach and provide exercises between sessions. A monthly written progress report is available for parents who wish to receive it.

I also offer pre-start preparation sessions, to get a head start on the year rather than being late.

Courses in French, English or Arabic.

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.
