Instructor: Dr. Cyril Balsollier Languages of Instruction: English & French (Bilingual / Fluent) Qualifications: Joint PhD in Medicinal Chemistry (Utrecht University & University of Ljubljana) | Master’s & Bachelor’s in Chemistry Course & Subject Coverage High School Science & Chemistry (IB, AP, French Baccalauréat, A-Levels): Comprehensive, interactive tutoring covering general science, foundational biology, and general chemistry. Designed to build strong core scientific principles, analytical problem-solving skills, and exam readiness for high school students preparing for university and high school exams. University-Level Chemistry & Chemical Biology: Advanced instruction and academic mentoring tailored for undergraduate and graduate students: Organic Chemistry: Reaction mechanisms, retrosynthetic analysis, functional group transformations, and stereochemistry. Biochemistry: Macromolecular structures, enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and bio-functional molecules. Medicinal Chemistry: Drug design principles, structure-activity relationships (SAR), pharmacokinetics, and molecular targets. Teaching & Mentoring Approach I am an international scientist. I finished my studies in France and then embarked on a PhD between the Netherlands and Slovenia, where I graduated as a doctor. I ended up in Berlin to work at the Freie Universität Berlin on a research project. I got the chance to teach in Japan last year through an Erasmus grant, and since then, I want to include teaching in my schedule. I believe teaching is also about compatibility, especially in a face-to-face setting. My vision of personal teaching is that I can solve your comprehension problems and deepen your knowledge in the subject you seek. Everyone has a way to learn; what matters is that in the end, you understood what you came to understand.

I offer comprehensive support in the core subjects of middle school, including English, mathematics, biology, chemistry, history, and politics. My lessons combine a pleasant, humorous atmosphere with focused learning and effective exercises to achieve lasting academic success.

Chemistry is an interesting subject, and it's such a fundamental science that you need it for getting into or getting through university, even if chemistry isn't your major. But it can be really hard to learn. Especially on your own. Especially in a hurry. I can help. Last minute exam prep? Last minute assignment or test prep? Or did you actually plan ahead (congrats!) and want help throughout the semester? Whatever your situation, my targeted training and clear explanations tailored to any level can get you through and get you the grades you need.

My tutoring sessions are designed to foster a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, explore new ideas, and build confidence in their abilities. Through personalized lesson plans, targeted practice exercises, and continuous feedback, I work collaboratively with each student to help them unlock their full academic potential. Beyond academic support, I also prioritize the development of critical thinking skills, effective study habits, and a lifelong love for learning. By nurturing a growth mindset and instilling a sense of curiosity, I aim to equip students with the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond.

Hi! If physics is giving you a hard time and you are preparing for your GCSE or IGCSE exams under AQA, Edexcel, or OCR boards, I am here to help you take things from scratch and build complete confidence. Here is how we go through the entire learning journey together: Starting from the Basics: When we begin a new topic—whether it is forces, electricity, waves, or energy—we don't just jump into memorizing definitions. We start right from the very basics, breaking down what the concept actually means using simple, real-world logic. Interactive Visual Learning: During our online session, we work on a shared digital whiteboard. I draw clean diagrams, circuit layouts, and ray optics step by step right in front of you so you can clearly visualize what is happening instead of just imagining it from a book. Tackling Numericals: Physics formulas and calculations scare many students. We practice numerical problems slowly, learning how to rearrange formulas, substitute values correctly, and check units step by step until solving them becomes second nature. Exam & Past Paper Practice: Once we finish a chapter, we immediately move to exam-style questions and past papers. We review how examiners mark answers, how to phraseexplanations properly, and how to manage time so you feel fully prepared and calm on your actual exam day. Drop me a message anytime, and let's talk about which topics you want us to start working on together!

Je propose un accompagnement personnalisé en mathématiques, sciences et travail scolaire pour les élèves de 7 à 17 ans. Les cours sont adaptés à l’âge de chaque élève, à son niveau scolaire, à son programme, à son rythme d’apprentissage et à ses besoins individuels. Cet accompagnement peut servir de soutien scolaire régulier, d’aide aux devoirs, de renforcement des notions fondamentales, d’aide pour surmonter des difficultés spécifiques, de préparation aux contrôles et examens, ou simplement permettre à l’élève de gagner en confiance et en autonomie dans son travail. Selon l’âge et le niveau scolaire de l’élève, les cours peuvent inclure : ¤ Mathématiques — calcul, fractions, pourcentages, géométrie, algèbre, équations, fonctions, trigonométrie, probabilités, statistiques et résolution de problèmes ¤ Sciences — sciences générales, matière et énergie, notions de base en physique et chimie, biologie, corps humain, environnement, ainsi que d’autres thèmes selon le programme scolaire de l’élève ¤ Aide aux devoirs et soutien scolaire — compréhension des cours, réalisation des exercices, révision des notions difficiles, préparation aux contrôles et développement de méthodes de travail efficaces Mon approche pédagogique évolue avec l’âge de l’élève. Pour les plus jeunes, je cherche à rendre les mathématiques et les sciences intuitives et intéressantes grâce à des explications claires, des exemples concrets et une approche qui stimule la curiosité. À mesure que l’élève progresse, j’introduis progressivement un raisonnement plus structuré, des méthodes de résolution de problèmes et davantage d’autonomie. L’objectif n’est pas simplement de terminer les devoirs ou de mémoriser des informations, mais d’aider l’élève à comprendre ce qu’il apprend, à développer son raisonnement, à gagner en confiance et à devenir progressivement plus autonome. Je suis titulaire d’un doctorat en physique et possède une solide formation académique en mathématiques, physique et sciences expérimentales. J’adapte chaque cours au programme scolaire réel de l’élève plutôt que de suivre un programme fixe. Les cours peuvent être dispensés en français ou en anglais, avec des explications en arabe lorsque cela peut faciliter la compréhension.
