Hadia
Scratch Coding for kids - A great way to learn about coding and computer science.
Hello! I am Hadia, and I am an experienced coding tutor for kids, teens, and adults. I teach Scratch and App Inventor coding for kids and Python for teens and beginners. I have 20 years of experience in the education field; I worked as a curriculum developer and educational supervisor, and I had the chance to teach computer science subjects for all grade levels, from kindergarten through secondary classes. I believe that teaching programming isn’t just about how to type lines of code. It is more about teaching how to think logically. I usually customize the content according to the student's needs and interests, and I encourage my students to create their own projects that make learning more meaningful and enjoyable.

Martial
Graduate teacher gives courses in Physics & Chemistry, Mathematics, many years of experience.
I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics. I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since. I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors. I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...) I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge. I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence. I can go to the student's home or also take the course via Skype.
