About Me

As an EPFL engineer, I have been teaching math and physics for almost ten years — first as an assistant tutor at EPFL, where I supervised hundreds of students in analysis and linear algebra, then in private lessons, from middle school to high school and up to university.
What these years have taught me is that difficulties in math and physics rarely stem from a lack of effort. They arise from a poorly defined concept somewhere upstream, one that was never revisited. My job is to find that point, and then rebuild from there.
I don't give the answer. I ask a question, I wait, I ask another — until the student finds it themselves. It's what they discover on their own that they remember, and it's also what restores their confidence.
I listen a lot, I adapt quickly to the student's profile, and my goal is not just the grade on the next exam: it's that he leaves with reasoning methods that will serve him well in the future.

Education

MSc in Robotics, EPFL, 2020 — minor in Management, Technology and Entrepreneurship (MTE)
BSc in Microtechnology, EPFL, 2018
2013: Medalist at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)

Experience / Qualifications

Assistant tutor at EPFL (2016–2020) — four years leading tutorials in Analysis I to IV, Linear Algebra, and General Physics for first- and second-year students. I saw hundreds of papers: I know where students stumble and what the teachers really expect on exam day.
Private tutoring (since 2016) — for middle school students looking to fill in gaps in their knowledge, high school students preparing for their baccalaureate, and university students (EPFL and others) preparing for exams or entrance exams. In-person in Lausanne and online.
What I bring to the table in concrete terms:

A diagnosis from the very first session: where the blockage comes from, not just where it manifests itself
Progressive exercises, aligned with the actual curriculum followed (college, gymnasium, EPFL)
Targeted exam preparation, with the experience of someone who has graded them.
A methodological review after each lesson

I offer courses adapted to all levels, whether in college, high school or bachelor's degree. My classes include homework help, exam preparation and in-depth exercises. As a former student who asked a lot of questions himself, I encourage my students to ask as many questions as possible in order to dissipate all gray areas and leave no detail to chance, thus promoting exam success. .
I firmly believe that academic success does not depend on an innate aptitude, but rather on the ability to identify weak points and work on them. As a teacher, I am attentive to these weak points by regularly asking the student questions about the meaning of the exercises and each step of the calculation. I also push my students to develop their intuition so that they can easily adapt to any problem on exam day.

Graduate of EPFL in Environmental Sciences and Engineering, with a specialization in water, soil and ecosystem engineering, I offer individualized support to fill gaps in mathematics (analysis, linear algebra, numerical analysis, probability) and/or or in other basic sciences (chemistry, environmental sciences, etc.). As a part-time correspondent for a French-speaking daily newspaper, I can also provide support in French, for all types of editorial work.

Having been a regular substitute for almost two years - including five months of class mastery - in a college in the Lausanne region, I know how to demonstrate pedagogy and adapt as best as possible to the difficulties encountered by the students, in order to offer them the method of learning best suited to their needs, all while combining rigor and good humor :)

I give private lessons for students who are in compulsory school. I am currently a student at the University of Lausanne. For the course, you can come directly to my house, it's quiet and we can work without any problem. There is also the possibility of doing the courses online if you prefer not to travel. It all depends on your preference.☺️
Do not hesitate to contact me! 😊

I offer support courses in mathematics in Lausanne and the surrounding area.
Passionate about teaching, I have experience that extends from secondary/gymnasium levels, where I guided students as a private math/physics teacher, to university, where I been a teacher at bachelor's, master's and engineering school levels in a Parisian University. These teaching experiences at very varied levels help me to form a global vision of learning.

Concerning my career, I completed a master's degree in engineering sciences at Sorbonne University, which I completed with a master's degree in sciences applied to music then a doctorate in acoustics and audio signal processing. My career as an engineer specializing in acoustics and artificial intelligence allowed me to experience mathematics in concrete applications on a daily basis.

I am currently resuming my studies in a Master's program in electric bass pedagogy at the Lausanne University of Music, with the aim of also becoming a professional musician and music teacher.

I am always delighted to support students in a stimulating and enriching learning environment.

Mathematics is the daily life of many technical professions, as an engineer, everything related to them and their disciplines cannot resist me! Biology is just as important to understand how the world works, and knowing how to communicate in another language, so don't hesitate to contact me if you need extra help learning!

Our institute was founded for a simple reason: to reveal the potential that lies dormant in each of us, even when we struggle to see it ourselves. We all have enormous potential, but are we always able to fully perceive it? Sometimes, daily challenges, stress or lack of motivation can make us doubt our abilities.

With us, each course is a real human experience. Indeed, it is not simply about learning mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, or preparing for exams, but about creating a strong bond of trust between the teacher and the student. This bond is essential to provide a framework where each student feels listened to, supported and encouraged to surpass themselves.

Hello,
My name is Linnea, I am 21 years old and I am currently in my third year of a bachelor's degree in environmental science and engineering at EPFL.
I would be delighted to support you/your child in mathematics and science as well as in English and/or German. During my first year at EPFL, I was able to thoroughly review all the basics of mathematics, which allowed me to consolidate my knowledge and learn to explain concepts clearly and simply.
A few words about me: I am an optimistic, active, and sociable student who enjoys spending time outdoors and being around people. I grew up in a bilingual family, which allows me to speak German and English at a native level, as well as French fluently.
I live in Lausanne and am available to teach in person or online, with flexible hours on weekdays and weekends.
I would be very happy to hear from you.
Regards,
Linnea

Most lessons will start with a discussion before jumping into practice questions and worked examples in a calmer environment than the classroom.

We will discuss what area(s) of Mathematics the student is struggling with, I will then present diagnostic questions to identify the root cause of the confusion before working from basics to make sure the student understands what the gap in their knowledge is and how to best reinforce the gap in their learning.

For more confident students one of the best ways to prepare them for exams is working through exam-style questions and reviewing common areas where marks are lost along with best practices to minimise wasted time during the tests.

I offer private mathematics lessons for all levels, from primary school up to the master’s level.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics from EPFL, specialized in algebra and geometry, and I have also worked as a Teaching Assistant for four years for demanding university courses (advanced analysis, advanced linear algebra, fundamental structures).

This double experience, university teaching and personalized support, allows me to adapt my explanations both to a primary school student and to a student preparing for a master’s exam.

What I offer:

- Strengthening fundamentals and school support (primary, middle school, high school)

- Preparation for exams and entrance tests (maturité, baccalauréat, EPFL/ECAL, entrance exams)

- University support: analysis, algebra, probability, optimization, proofs, projects

- Methodological work: structuring reasoning, problem-solving, conceptual understanding

Working method:

- Precise initial assessment

- Clear, adapted, and progressive explanations

- Targeted and personalized exercises to progress quickly

- Building confidence, motivation, regular follow-up

My lessons can take place online or in person in Lausanne or nearby.
My goal is simple: to make mathematics understandable, efficient, and motivating for every student, regardless of their level.

Having obtained my Master's degree in Mathematics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in January 2026, I plan to pursue further studies in educational science and didactics, and I am particularly interested in pedagogy and knowledge transmission!

My primary goal is to motivate students with concrete examples and encourage them to rephrase concepts in their own words to facilitate their understanding of concepts that may initially seem abstract.

Depending on the topic, I also share various general study strategies I acquired during my studies, with the aim of fostering independent learning.

Continuing with this focus on autonomy, I strive to find and offer a variety of resources (books, handouts, videos, etc.) to develop intuition and present the material in different ways.

I welcome all suggestions and proposals for improvement!

I work exclusively on IGCSE Physics, providing structured, exam-focused support with particular attention to how marks are awarded.

Lessons are aligned with the Cambridge syllabus and focus on building a solid understanding of core concepts, developing effective exam technique, and preparing for the assessments.

Support can include:

- Identifying and addressing underlying gaps that hinder progress in class
- Explaining Physics concepts using clear models
- Working through exam-style questions and mark schemes
- Analysing past papers to understand common errors
- Planning structured revision for mocks and final exams

This approach is suited to students who:

- Understand the theory but lose marks in exams
- Feel overwhelmed by the syllabus
- Need structured, goal-oriented revision

Lessons are one-to-one, online, and focused on exam preparation.

I offer private lessons in languages, history, and mathematics, tailored to each student and with a practical, dynamic, and above all, fun approach. My goal is for learning to be not only useful but also entertaining and motivating.

In languages, I work on oral expression, comprehension, and writing through dynamic activities such as conversations, debates, and practical exercises that help to gain fluency and confidence.

In history, I focus on students understanding the concepts and processes, not just memorizing them. I use diagrams, clear explanations, and engaging examples to make the subject more accessible and easier to remember.

In mathematics, I help students understand the concepts from the ground up, with simple explanations, guided exercises, and small challenges that make the subject more manageable and logical.

The classes are fully personalized according to the student's level and objectives: academic reinforcement, exam preparation, or general improvement.

My method is based on active learning, with a close environment where the student can participate without pressure and learn progressively.
