About Me
My high school physics teacher told me that physics is really all about problem solving. The secret is to re-phrase the question into one that can be easily answered. I always used that advice throughout high school and university studies and it helped a great deal. Now I have 2 teenaged children, and they get top marks in maths and physics exams too. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with anyone who has an open mind to learn.
Education
Master of Science in Physics from Stanford Universtiy, Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Physics from the University of Chicago, and a High School diploma from Niles West School
Experience / Qualifications
I do quantitative analysis in the financial markets for my day job, and am experienced sharing my knowledge with colleagues and family alike.

I have been successfully teaching Swiss students for many years and have gained extensive experience with cantonal education in various regions of Switzerland. As an experienced, local tutor, I am intimately familiar with the requirements, structures, and curricula of the Swiss school system. I have all past exam papers at my disposal and have prepared numerous students for their cantonal and national exams in a targeted, sustained, and highly successful manner. I place particular emphasis on closing knowledge gaps, building self-confidence, and offering each student individualized support that supports them in the best possible way. My goal is not only to improve grades, but also to develop a long-term joy in learning and lay the foundation for academic success.

►Targeted exam preparation for:

High school entrance exams
BMS & Passerelle exams
International Baccalaureate (IB)
ETH courses & university modules
ZHAW & University of Applied Sciences

► How do I teach?
►I always emphasize a complete understanding of problems, not just learning methods: This ensures you get the maximum benefit from tutoring. I take the time to clarify concepts and address individual questions until everything is truly understood.

►The reason for my success lies in my ability to adapt my learning style to meet the needs of my students. I carefully observe which methods work for each student and adapt my teaching flexibly.

►I offer practical and lively examples to explain concepts in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This makes theoretical knowledge tangible and ensures long-term retention.

►I am very patient and strive to eliminate the difficulty in key concepts by simplifying seemingly complex procedures. No student is left behind—my goal is a solid foundation.

►I firmly believe in building a positive working relationship with my students. Trust and a relaxed atmosphere are the foundation for sustainable learning success.

►Intensive exam preparation (e.g., during the holidays), subject-specific topic work, or overcoming test anxiety for all ages. Together, we develop a concrete plan and train under realistic conditions.

►I'm also a highly experienced online tutor and can deliver a lesson as effectively as possible in person using an interactive whiteboard. All materials and documents are shared in real time, making the lesson just as productive as in-person.

►Locations: At your home, online, or by appointment. I am flexible and adapt to your wishes and needs to achieve optimal learning results.

👨‍🎓 With 4 years of experience in distance learning, I am a mathematics teacher, specialist in support courses and private lessons.
I also teach physics and chemistry as well as science subjects in general.

I hold a Master's degree in Operational Research (Applied Mathematics) and I have been teaching private lessons for more than 3 years, mainly mathematics for College and High School levels.

✏ I have taught students from public, private, French Program (Mission), Belgian, Swiss, Spanish Program (students from the Spanish school who are French or English speaking), American Program...
In short, all French or English programs.

✏ I accompany students from A to Z, in all stages of their learning with a simple, new generation and effective methodology: Course explanation, course summary, deepening application exercises etc...

✏ I prepare for exams and competitions

✏ I help with homework.

✏ My students have all evolved in an extraordinary way and have all achieved their goals. 16, 17, 18, 19 out of 20.

Sessions usually take place as follows:

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly intended to gauge the level of the student in order to highlight the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then comes the establishment of a plan to fill the gaps: Number of hours of work required, The parts of the lessons to focus on, Several training and development exercises...

3️⃣ We make sure to do all of this while staying up to date with the student's class teacher.

4️⃣ I then provide exams similar to what is likely to be asked in class.

5️⃣ I draw up a report on demand, usually monthly, in order to keep parents informed about their child's level throughout the course.

I also adapt my methodology according to the needs of each student, so everyone has a personalized working method adapted to their needs!

I also do crash courses for those who are preparing for the start of the school year so that they start the year strong 💪 and know the program in advance. 🧠

💭 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me ;)

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

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.
