French, Mathematics, and Homework help in general

From 28 € /h

I have given private lessons for the past six years, for children and adults. I always try to dialogue with the students, so that the course is as much a means of learning as a pleasure.

I also always try to make a connection between the needs/expectations of the students (even their parents) and the school requirements.

Finally, I taught for four years in the canton of Vaud (mainly French and mathematics), and I plan to teach again next year in a school.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Have you been staring at the equations that the teachers write as if you were looking at hieroglyphs on the wall? Do you feel stuck when you are confronted by your exercises, not a single idea coming to mind? My name is Bastien, I studied Physics for my Bachelor's at EPFL and a Master's in Quantum Engineering at ETH. During my studies, I was a Teaching Assistant for classes in Electromagnetism, Fluid Dynamics, Analysis, and Special Relativity. I also gave private lessons to students in need before their exams. Through these experiences, I discovered that no matter your level we all tend to get stuck in front of math equations at one point or another. We get lost in the details and seem to be unable to see the big picture, to understand where all of this is going, and why any of it is useful at all.

In these classes, I want to help you deal with these issues. It doesn't matter if you are in middle school, high school, or starting your Bachelor's. The goal of these classes is to help you cultivate the skills needed not only to improve your grades but also to be a better problem solver. I will help you develop your passion and curiosity for mathematics. The passion that you maybe never knew you had! We will look at mathematics not as a monolithic entity but as a language. Ultimately, mathematical excellence can be decomposed into four primary skills: memory, patience, curiosity, and creativity. During this class, we will:

🟢 Assess in which areas you are struggling

🟢 Come up with a plan tailored to your needs

🟢 Fill in the gaps in your understanding

🟢 Stay up to date with the content of your classes

Mathematics in the end is not about the mathematics themselves. It is about the problems they allow us to solve and the language they give us to confront them.

If you have any questions about this class, my availability, or pricing, please don't hesitate to contact me. Click the blue "Contact Bastien" button above and let's discuss!

Swiss-Focused Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry Tutoring – Passerelle, BMS, Berufsmaturität, Matura, Fachmaturität, QV & Adult Education

This class is designed for students and adult learners in Switzerland who want serious, structured and exam-focused support in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The main focus is preparation for Passerelle, BMS, Berufsmaturität, Matura, Fachmaturität and QV/final apprenticeship exams, as well as support for learners in adult education who are returning to study, changing career direction or preparing for a new academic path.

What makes my tutoring different is the strong connection to the Swiss education system. I completed my master’s degree at a University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland and have many years of experience teaching students in Switzerland. This means my lessons are not generic international tutoring. They are built around Swiss school expectations, Swiss exam styles, Swiss curricula and the specific challenges faced by learners in Switzerland.

➜ Special focus on Passerelle preparation
The Passerelle is one of the most demanding Swiss pathways because it requires strong discipline, independent thinking and solid exam technique. I help students prepare systematically in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry by working through the required theory, typical task types, old exams and exam-style practice.

➜ BMS and Berufsmaturität support
For BMS and Berufsmaturität students, I provide structured help in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, depending on the programme and exam requirements. We focus on building strong foundations, closing gaps and applying methods correctly in exam situations.

➜ Matura and Fachmaturität preparation
I support students preparing for Matura and Fachmaturität exams with clear explanations, relevant exercises and a structured learning plan. The lessons help students understand difficult topics, organize their knowledge and gain confidence before important assessments.

➜ QV / final apprenticeship exam preparation
Many vocational students need Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry for their QV/final apprenticeship exams, especially in technical, scientific, laboratory, healthcare or engineering-related fields. I help students connect theory with practical calculations and exam-style tasks.

➜ Adult education and returning learners
I also work with adult learners who are returning to education after a break, preparing for Passerelle, Berufsmaturität, Fachmaturität, QV or further studies. Adult learners often need a clear, respectful and efficient teaching style. I explain from the foundation upward, without judgment, and help rebuild confidence step by step.

➜ Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taught with equal seriousness
The focus is not only Mathematics. Physics and Chemistry are also important, especially for Passerelle, Matura, Fachmaturität, technical BMS directions, QV exams and later studies. I explain formulas, concepts and calculations clearly so students understand the logic behind the subject.

➜ Old exams and Swiss-style practice
Where suitable, I use old exams, typical Swiss exam questions and realistic practice material. Students learn how questions are asked, how to recognize the correct method, how to structure their solutions and how to avoid common mistakes.

➜ Clear step-by-step method
Every task is approached with a simple structure: What is given? What is required? Which formula, law or method is suitable? Why does it apply? Then we solve the task step by step with all formulas, calculations and explanations.

➜ Why choose a Swiss-focused tutor?
Many tutors may know Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, but Swiss exams often have their own wording, structure and expectations. Because I studied in Switzerland and have taught Swiss students for years, I can prepare learners in a much more targeted and relevant way.

➜ For serious students who want real progress
This class is ideal for students and adult learners who want to pass an important exam, improve their grades, close knowledge gaps, prepare for further studies or gain more confidence in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

➜ Success-oriented preparation
My goal is to help students build real understanding, not just short-term memorization. With clear explanations, structured practice, old exam material and consistent preparation, students can develop the confidence and exam technique needed to perform at their best.
