Physics and math for high school and university students

From 102 C$ /h

Maths and physics are among the branches that divide students the most. However I am convinced that it is possible to reconcile them with their refractories by providing a personalized and pragmatic pedagogy, while linking the subject to other branches to anchor them in a general knowledge.
Thus these courses given at home are personally adapted to each student according to his affinities and his goals.

About Me

Freshly graduated from EPFL, I followed all my training as a physicist there with the exception of a third year in exchange at the University of Montreal.
I want to become a teacher in secondary II and therefore offer tutorials to improve my teaching tools developed during my years of study as a tutor.
Having chosen a general physical training with quantum specialization, I have the knowledge to explore the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large.

Master student at EPFL, I would be happy to help you (you or your child) for the subjects where you have difficulties! At university, I have been an assistant in Chemistry for the first years of EPFL for a few years as well as for a course linking mathematics and electronics, called Signals and Systems. So I am used to teaching and explaining concepts to students with difficulties. I also give private lessons to students passing the Swiss maturity or the French baccalaureate. To try to see together the difficulties as well as the misunderstandings: we go back to the lesson together, we do an exercise together and then I let the student do it independently and we review together if he is blocked or if we need to correct.
I would be delighted to be able to help you in all matters, both scientific and literary! :)

I love teaching and have always enthusiastically helped my classmates. I have been giving private lessons since 2016 (around 25 students, including one for Analysis I, EPFL). I am also an assistant for two courses at EPFL (3rd year Bachelor and Master levels), and I co-created and taught the EPFL Advanced Analysis course during the welcome week for new students (Students4Students EPFL).

I strive to transmit my knowledge and my passion for the subject to my students, at a pace adapted to their needs. I think that students who take private lessons have a sincere desire to overcome their difficulties and that we must therefore pay particular attention to encouraging them. It is therefore step by step that I help them understand the material, by developing their intuition of the different concepts covered while ensuring that they fill in their gaps. My students appreciate my clarity, structure, motivation, patience and flexibility.

If you or your child has difficulty with mathematics, do not hesitate to contact me for more information about my courses.

I am a PhD student at EPFL, and I have been teaching mathematics and physics/chemistry for several years now. I was accepted to MIT, the best school in the world, and I was also accepted to Oxford and Cambridge.

Often students learn, but do not know the correct techniques to apply to exercises; I will show the student how to properly understand and solve the exercises.

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.

Places:

📍 On the EPFL campus
💻 Online
🏠 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.

Mathematics, physics, English, and French can seem difficult without the right foundation or method. With extensive experience working with students of all ages, from young children to high school and university students, I have designed my lessons as a personalized support system, adapted to each student's level and pace.
You will solidify your foundational knowledge, fill in any gaps, better understand challenging concepts, and gain confidence and independence when tackling exercises and exams. My goal is to make each subject accessible by adapting to each student's learning style.

As a final year Bachelor of Engineering student at EPFL, I offer private lessons or support, or homework help adapted to the level and needs of each student.

I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, French, and English, primarily at the beginner to intermediate level, from elementary school to high school. Lessons can focus on understanding concepts, preparing for assessments, solving exercises, or simply regaining confidence in the subject.

I also offer support in Analysis I for higher education students, particularly to review theoretical concepts, understand methods and practice exercises.

My goal is to make concepts more accessible by adapting to each student's pace and prioritizing real understanding over rote learning.

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.

I am a Master's student in Life Sciences Engineering at EPFL and I offer various private lessons in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and French to help students better understand their courses, progress, and gain confidence. I also help first-year Bachelor's students at EPFL or other universities.

The sessions are tailored to each student's level and needs: reviewing difficult concepts, homework help, test/exam preparation, and practice exercises. I always try to explain things simply and clearly, using a patient and encouraging approach.

My goal is for the student to truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

I know what it's like to get stuck on a problem or not understand a concept even after rereading the material several times because I've been there too. My goal isn't just to give you the answer, but to help you actually understand: whether that means prepping for an exam, working through exercises, or getting a firmer grip on the theory.

A lot of teachers explain things in overly technical or abstract ways. I prefer to break concepts down, rephrase them until they click for you with no judgment if something doesn't sink in on the first try.

I taught math for a year at Phassyl Private Education, working with students from middle school level up through maturité and first-year EPFL. I'm also happy to work with younger students if needed. I'm currently a 3rd-year Microengineering student at EPFL myself, so I know the demands of bachelor's-level coursework and the common traps that cost points on exams.

Every session is tailored to your pace and what you need at the time: reinforcing fundamentals, prepping for a test, or simply revisiting a chapter that didn't quite land the first time.

As a Master's student in Data Science at EPFL, a graduate of CentraleSupélec (ranked in the top 3% of my class) and holder of a Bachelor's degree in microtechnology from EPFL, I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics and computer science, from primary school to university level.
My teaching experience
I was a student teaching assistant at EPFL for 8 courses, working with over 400 students. I currently lead the linear algebra and ICC (Information, Computation, Communication) exercise sessions. Each week, I adapt my explanations to each student's level: that's what I love most about teaching.
What I propose
• Primary and secondary school: consolidate the basics (calculation, fractions, geometry, equations), regain confidence and improve methodology.
• Gymnasium / high school (maturity, baccalaureate): functions, analysis, probabilities, vectors, mechanics, electricity, exam preparation.
• University / EPF / preparatory classes: analysis, linear algebra, probability and statistics, numerical analysis, programming (Python, C/C++).
My method
I begin by identifying the real obstacle: a misunderstanding of the concept, a lack of methodology, or stress. Then, I build the sessions based on the student's lessons and exercises. The goal isn't just to pass the next test, but to understand the material and become independent.
Whether you need occasional homework help, regular support, or intensive exam preparation, I adapt to your needs.
