Mathematics and physics: secondary school, gymnasium, baccalaureate and first year EPFL/UNIL

From 74 C$ /h

As a mathematics student at EPFL, after a scientific preparatory class (PCSI) at Lycée Henri-IV in Paris, I have been giving private math lessons since 2024.

For who ?
– Secondary I (CO) students who have dropped out or want to consolidate their foundations
– High school students, including the specific mathematics and physics option, and preparation for the baccalaureate
– First-year students (analysis, linear algebra) at EPFL, UNIL or HES
– Students in the French system (middle school, high school, baccalaureate)

How is a course going?
I start by identifying the real difficulty, because it often stems from a misunderstanding of a previous concept rather than the current chapter. I then explain it simply, and the student practices with exercises until they can do them independently. We can work on upcoming homework and tests, review entire chapters, or prepare intensively for an exam.

The goal: improved grades, but above all a student who regains confidence and becomes independent.

Courses are also available in English, for students from international schools.

Extra information

Please bring your notes, your current exercises and your latest corrected tests: this allows me to target the work from the first session.

During a mathematics or scientific branch course, the student has specific questions or subjects to address (ranging from compulsory school to the end of the gymnasium in maturity/reinforced math) in order to fill in the gaps in the subject . If he wants to get ahead of the program or needs help with homework/exercises, this is also possible.

My name is Noreen, I'm a second-year bachelor's student at HEC Lausanne, and I tutor elementary school students. I'm passionate about sharing the many learning techniques I've developed, and I would be delighted to use them to help students progress with confidence. Patient and calm by nature, I don't hesitate to rephrase or re-explain concepts several times so that each student can understand at their own pace. Lessons can be conducted in either French or English, depending on your needs. I look forward to meeting you and discussing your goals!

As a Master of Data Science student at EPFL, mathematics is an important part of my academic curriculum. During my studies, I had the opportunity to act as a student assistant at EPFL in various courses in the Computer Science section.
These experiences allowed me to develop a teaching spirit. I really enjoy passing on my knowledge and helping students develop their reasoning skills.

My goal is to make people love mathematics, offer an intuitive understanding of the topics covered in order to guide students towards better results and greater autonomy.

As a Political Economy student at the University of Fribourg, with a high school diploma in Biology and Chemistry, I offer in-home tutoring tailored to each student's level. I help students with homework, test and exam preparation, and also provide supplementary lessons to address specific gaps in knowledge or reinforce learning.

Fluency, pronunciation and impeccable writing in English.
My tutoring services also extend to History, Mathematics, Economics and Law, and Biology and Chemistry.

Serious, punctual, motivated, and dedicated, I strive to motivate students, providing structure and study methods to help them become more independent. In math, I love finding solutions and strategies, and I can help with reading and understanding problems, which are often a source of difficulty for students who otherwise have great potential in mathematics.

As a Master's student at EPFL, I offer support and enrichment courses in mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry for students in the orientation cycle, gymnasium and for Bachelor level students.

In mathematics, we can work on algebra, functions, trigonometry, probabilities, analysis as well as differential and integral calculus depending on the level.
In physics, topics include mechanics, electricity, optics, thermodynamics, and the basics of modern physics.
In biology, I offer support in cell biology, genetics, physiology and basic biochemistry.
In chemistry, we can cover stoichiometry, chemical reactions, acids and bases, thermochemistry and organic chemistry depending on the program followed.

Courses may include homework help, test and exam preparation, and preparation for the Swiss high school diploma. Advanced study is also available for students wishing to pursue scientific studies.

Accustomed to the academic requirements of EPFL, I ensure that I offer structured, progressive support tailored to the needs of each student in order to strengthen their confidence and autonomy.

Third-year computer science student offers homework help/refresher courses for science subjects (Mathematics, computer science, biology, physics, chemistry).

My approach is to first understand the student's prior knowledge and solidify the foundations before moving on to more complex concepts.

I can give homework or not, I adapt to the situation and the needs of each student.

Bilingual German-English, of Swiss German origin and having lived and worked in Germany for several years, I offer private or small group lessons for adults and/or children, for both languages, German and English.

- Beginner course for adults
- Conversation classes for all levels, all ages
- Children's classes
- Academic support for schoolchildren up to 11th grade Harmos, based on their school materials
- Prepare tests, practice vocabulary
- One-off support courses
- ...or according to your needs.

I regularly give private lessons and teach small groups in a private school.

I have taught my children all school subjects for more than 2 years. I am therefore familiar with the school curriculum of the canton of Vaud and am very motivated to transmit these two beautiful languages and to see the progress of my students. One of my priorities is to make the student comfortable speaking and, especially in the school setting, to have more fun learning.
For adult classes, we will discuss your needs before the first class and decide on the program together.

Lessons at the student's home (in the vicinity of Prilly) and distance learning are also possible.

Having graduated with a Master's degree in physics from EPFL, specializing in astrophysics, I offer private tutoring in mathematics and physics for secondary school students, gymnasium students and students at the beginning of higher education.

I have several years of experience in teaching: assistant in mechanics and thermodynamics at EPFL, private tutoring in mathematics and physics, as well as various teaching and science outreach activities.

My method

My goal is not to make people learn formulas by heart, but to make them truly understand the concepts and reasoning behind them.

My first step is to identify the problem: a poorly understood concept, weak foundations, difficulty translating a problem into equations, or simply a lack of methodology. We then reconstruct the reasoning step by step before applying it to exercises.

The goal is for the student to gradually become capable of solving problems independently, rather than mechanically reproducing a method.

I can help with, in particular:

understanding and resuming the lesson;
exercises and homework;
consolidation of the foundations;
preparation for tests, exams, maturity or baccalaureate;
methodology and problem-solving;
refresher or advanced training.

🏠 Home delivery within a radius of approximately 7 km around Renens

Feel free to contact me, indicating your level, the subject matter, and the difficulties or objectives you wish to work on.

📚 Private tutoring: Maths & Physics
With the start of the school year approaching, it's the perfect time to catch up on any gaps in knowledge from the summer and get off to a good start, or to calmly prepare for a remedial session. Does your child need extra help in math or physics? I offer personalized tutoring to help them regain confidence and make lasting progress.

For who ?
Students at the high school graduation level, as well as first-year Bachelor students at HEC or EPFL, including for summer catch-up courses.

In which subjects?
Mathematics (linear algebra, analysis) and physics.

My experience
I have been tutoring for eight years. I have worked with students with very diverse profiles: ADHD, hyperactivity, oppositional defiant disorder, autism spectrum disorder, giftedness, and even students experiencing academic difficulties. Each student is different, and I adapt to their needs to offer truly personalized support.

Why these courses?
My goal is not just to prepare for the upcoming exam, but to build a solid study method with the student for the rest of their academic journey. Truly understanding, regaining confidence, and approaching assessments with composure: that's what I aim for with each student.

Or ?
I travel to Pully, Lutry, Morges, Ecublens, St-Sulpice, Lausanne and surrounding areas. As I do not have a car, the price may vary depending on the distance; I will travel to you for a 1.5-hour lesson.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your child's needs and arrange a first lesson! :)
