Preparation in maths / physics for the start of the school year at EPFL

62 C$ /h

FOR WHOM, FOR WHAT:

This course aims to provide a framework for the preparation of future students at EPFL.
Many students are preparing for the start of the new school year at EPFL, but many of them are lost and don't know where to start. Some drag gaps from gymnasium/college with them, which prevent them from starting to learn/relearn math and physics and prepare well for the start of the school year. In this course, I propose to supervise the student in his preparation.

This course is adapted to the level in mathematics (standard and advanced) and physics (standard) of all sections of EPFL*.

CONTENTS :
The course aims to adapt to the needs of the student. In particular, it is common to:
- resume gym/college classes
-identify and address remaining gym/college gaps
- Fly over new subjects (the goal being not to be surprised when introducing them to the university)
-Work on certain subjects in advance
-Develop a work strategy and get organized
-Share experience/give advice
-Present the exam modalities (within the limits of my knowledge)

Note that the courses are flexible.
For more information on course content, please contact me to discuss.

REMARKS :
-> This course aims to give a boost to future students at EPFL. It does not in any way guarantee the success of the student (obviously).
-> This course is often given in support of the book "Know how in mathematics"
-> The course is based on my experience (EPFL, mathematics section).

SIZE:
The course can be given face-to-face in the Lausanne region (preferably Renens / Ecublens) or Geneva (preferably center) depending on my travel availability (this is to be agreed by message with me directly, this option only appears by default in my schedules available below). Otherwise, the course is generally given by Zoom with screen sharing where I generally write by hand).
The notes during the course are sent to the student after the course is completed in PDF format.
For more availability, please contact me.

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!

Sara

I will take note of the student's difficulties in the subject, more precisely on the subject and will issue an action plan so that he or she can better understand it.

I could thus help the student with his/her homework, prepare him/her for his/her exams, and understand his/her subjects.

I will do everything necessary and what is in my power for the success of the students who ask me and for them to be focused in their year.

For any student from primary school to the last year of the orientation cycle.

I adapt my lessons (French, English, Russian, homework help) to each student's pace and needs. Each session begins with an assessment of what they have already learned, followed by targeted work on areas for improvement, then practical exercises and real-life scenarios. I use a variety of materials to make learning engaging and accessible. My multilingual background and experience working with children and teenagers from diverse cultural backgrounds allow me to support students from elementary to high school, including those experiencing language integration difficulties, with patience and empathy.

Yann

(137)

As a private mathematics tutor with over 10 years of experience, I support students from secondary school to pre-university level, including IB Mathematics AA/AI SL/HL, pre-IB and Swiss Maturity.

My approach prioritizes understanding and autonomy. Rather than rote learning, we work on grasping concepts, precisely identifying difficulties, and building solid mathematical reasoning. Lessons are tailored to each student's level, objectives, and learning style.

I can assist you with:
– consolidate the concepts seen in class and fill in the gaps;
– prepare for tests, exams and assessments;
– develop problem-solving methods and reasoning;
– improve examination technique and strategy;
– to progress towards greater confidence and autonomy in mathematics.

I obtained the International Baccalaureate in 2017 with 45/45, with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at the higher level, then went on to university studies in mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, where I obtained a Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) in Mathematics.

Courses can be delivered in person in the Geneva region or online.

Ismael

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.

I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, tailored to each student's level and needs. The goal is to review essential concepts and understand problem-solving methods.

The sessions are personalized and can cover exam preparation, exercise correction, in-depth exploration of certain concepts, etc. I favor a pedagogical approach using analogies or real-life situations whenever possible, taking the time to explain concepts in different ways until they are fully understood.

Hi! My name is Losel, I'm an IB graduate who scored 7 in both Math AA HL and Physics HL. I've just graduated magna cum laude with a double bachelor in mathematics and physics from École Polytechnique (Paris) and am now doing a master's in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL.

I offer one-on-one online tutoring, with an iPad and camera setup so we can work through problems together in real time, just like in person. I can help with:

Concepts: Going through your lectures and building intuition, clearing up the hard concepts.

Exercises and past papers: Understanding the exercises (best way to get a good grade btw), as well as exam strategy and how to solve problems faster.

IA and EE: choosing a strong topic, structuring the paper, and refining drafts.

University applications: personal statements, choosing programs, mock technical interviews, and how to maximize your chances to get into a top uni.

I've been through the IB myself, so I know where it gets tough and how to succeed through it. No two students need the same thing, so we'll set clear goals together and work toward them at your pace.

I teach in English, but I also have a C1 in French, so we can mix. I also speak Portuguese and Danish fluently.

Message me for a first chat!

Arsène

I offer weekly, in-person support, with lessons tailored to each student's level and objectives.
The course is entirely dedicated to the student: explanations, exercises, preparation for tests and exams, and review of concepts that pose difficulty.
Thanks to my experience at EPFL in Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, I can bring an approach particularly focused on reasoning, problem-solving and good working methods.

My method:
• Understanding rather than memorizing: we build the reasoning step by step so that the student can truly understand the material.
• Train effectively: we work on exercises adapted to the student's level and gradually increase the difficulty.
• Gaining autonomy: the goal is for the student to be able to gradually solve exercises on their own and develop good working methods.

Lessons can be organized regularly each week, with a frequency adapted to the student's needs.

Write to me to discuss your goals and check availability.
