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.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis, financial models and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

I’m a master’s student in chemical nano-engineering with a bachelor's degree in chemistry and experience as a chemistry lecturer and in an industrial quality control lab. I explain things in simple steps, so you understand instead of memorizing.

Each lesson uses worked examples and practice problems at your pace. Send me your topic or syllabus before the first lesson, and I’ll plan around it.
