Joana
Private lessons and support in math-physics-chemistry
Currently in my first year of master's degree at EPFL, I feel comfortable providing support in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology from primary to gymnasium. I can give these courses in French, English or Portuguese. All my schooling was done in French, but my current classes are in English, a language that I master.

Ronald
Private lessons in math, computer science and sciences (physics, chemistry, bio)
Graduate engineer with extensive experience in teaching and scientific research gives private lessons in maths, computer science and physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, organic chemistry, biophysics, statistics, others. All levels and ages. I speak fluently French, English, Bulgarian and Spanish. The language of the course can therefore be chosen from among these.

Meriem
Chemistry lessons for cycle, middle school and general culture school students
I obtained my maturity in biology and chemistry option with excellent results. My goal is therefore to teach and make people love chemistry even if sometimes it seems complex. Nomenclature, organic chemistry, bases and acids, pH, solubility, oxidation-reduction all this will no longer hold any secrets for you!! (If all these terms don't mean anything to you, it doesn't matter, you still have time haha). We can understand everything with a little will and good explanations from a student who was in your place not so long ago!! Courage.

Raef
Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVT
The courses of Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology of the French or European French or English programs (Secondary or university levels) are given by explanations either in depth or by a rapid course and summary of essential need according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or by evaluations and exams from other high schools. My experience is too long and for years, I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students. I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.

GCSE and A-Level Chemistry Tutoring for Exam Success
I offer personalised Chemistry tutoring for GCSE and A-Level students, drawing on my strong academic background and hands-on experience working with young people. As a Group Counsellor at Camp America, I developed excellent communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt my teaching to suit different learning styles - qualities that are invaluable when working with students aged 14-18. I have an in-depth knowledge of the Chemistry syllabus for exam boards such as AQA, OCR, and Edexcel. Key topics like atomic structure, chemical reactions, organic chemistry, stoichiometry, acids and bases, and the periodic table are all areas I excel in teaching. Having achieved an A* in A-Level Chemistry and an A* at GCSE, I understand the challenges students face and how to overcome them. My lessons focus on helping students develop a strong grasp of core principles, apply their knowledge effectively to exam-style questions, and build the confidence needed to excel in their exams. Each session is tailored to the student’s needs, ensuring they make steady progress and achieve their full potential in Chemistry.
