Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have 6 years of experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds both in a homework schools as well as via private teaching. In private teaching, I have experience tutoring people with learning disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia, Discalculia and more), younger kids of ages 7-12 and older students preparing for their final baccalaureate exams in advanced maths/physics curriculums.

In my classes, I aim to:

- help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths
- clearly explain and break down topics
- give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorization)
- help with ADHD & other learning disabilities
- give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life.

Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject!

### Courses in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering Sciences

As an engineering student in **mechatronics and instrumentation**, I offer private lessons tailored to the level and objectives of each student, **from middle school to higher education**.

My approach is progressive, clear, and geared towards understanding. The goal is to enable the student to **understand the concepts, master the problem-solving methods, and gradually gain autonomy**, rather than simply memorizing formulas.

**Mathematics:** algebra, functions, derivatives, integrals, differential equations, matrices, probability and statistics, with exercises adapted to the student's level.

**Physics and Chemistry:** mechanics, electricity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, waves and physical phenomena, as well as the basics of chemistry. Concepts are explained through examples and concrete applications.

**Mechanics:** kinematics, statics, dynamics, energy, strength of materials, mechanical systems and modeling.

**Electricity and Electrotechnics:** electrical circuits, fundamental laws, direct and alternating current, electrical power, three-phase systems, electrical machines and basics of electrotechnics.

**Electronics:** electronic components, diodes, transistors, amplifiers, analog and digital circuits, as well as the basics of embedded systems.

My background in **mechatronics engineering and instrumentation** allows me to link different disciplines and offer a concrete approach through examples from **industry, automation, mechanical and electrical systems and instrumentation**.

Depending on the needs, the courses can be devoted to **understanding the course material, exercises, preparing for exams and tests, refresher courses or further study**.

Each session is tailored to the student's level in order to gradually build an effective working method and genuine autonomy.

As a civil engineer with an EPFL degree, I have been working in a design office since 2020: excavations, retaining walls, foundations, numerical modeling, and site supervision. I mentor junior engineers and interns in this role, and I write reports explaining these calculations to clients who are not engineers.

I support students from EPFL, HES and vocational schools in the branches that filter: statics, strength of materials, reinforced concrete, soil mechanics and foundations.

We work on your past exams and series. For geotechnics and foundations, I show you how these calculations are actually carried out in the office and according to which standards, which makes the material much more understandable than a formula learned by heart.

I also cover technical professional maturity and preparation for admission to a University of Applied Sciences.

Tools I use daily: PLAXIS, GEO5, K-REA, AutoCAD and reading execution plans.

Online courses with a shared whiteboard, or in person in the Neuchâtel region.

I’m a SideFX Certified Instructor and 3D artist with 20 years of experience in CGI. I offer one-to-one online Houdini lessons tailored to your level, interests, and goals.

If you’re new to Houdini, we can start with the interface, nodes, attributes, and the principles of procedural modeling. If you already use it, we can focus on VEX, simulations, lighting and rendering, or building more effective procedural workflows. I can also help you understand and troubleshoot a project you’re working on.

Lessons are practical: we’ll work in Houdini together, and I’ll explain the reasoning behind each step so you can apply what you learn independently. Before our first session, tell me about your experience and what you’d like to achieve, and I’ll prepare a lesson around it.

Master Engineering Drawing, Technical Drawing and Engineering Graphics with a practical, step-by-step approach.

Are you a student who finds engineering drawing difficult to visualize? Do you want to understand orthographic projections, front/top/side views, sections, dimensions, scales, and 3D shapes instead of simply memorizing drawing procedures?

I provide friendly, patient and practical online coaching in Technical Drawing, Engineering Drawing, Engineering Graphics, CAD and Engineering Design for students from high school through university, as well as professionals who want to strengthen their technical drawing and design skills.

What You Will Learn

The classes are designed to develop both your drawing skills and your ability to visualize engineering objects in 2D and 3D.

Topics can include:

Engineering Drawing fundamentals and drawing conventions
Visualization of 2D and 3D geometric shapes
Orthographic projection
Front, Top, Side and Back views
First-angle and Third-angle projection
Isometric views and pictorial representation
Sectional views and sectional drawings
Hidden lines, centre lines and construction lines
Dimensions, annotations and engineering symbols
Scales and measurement
Geometrical constructions
Development of surfaces
Intersections of solids
Tolerances and basic fits
Engineering drawing standards and conventions
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
Production-oriented technical documentation
Mechanical components and product drawings
Basic engineering design principles
From Hand Drawing to CAD and 3D Models

I also help students understand how traditional engineering drawing connects with modern Computer-Aided Design (CAD).

You can learn how a product or mechanical component can be:

Visualized → Sketched → Dimensioned → Created in CAD → Converted into a 3D Model → Prepared for Manufacturing / 3D Printing

Depending on your requirements, lessons can include AutoCAD, 2D drafting, 3D modelling and engineering design workflows.

The objective is not only to teach you which commands to use, but to help you understand why a drawing is created in a particular way and how engineers use drawings to communicate a design.

Practical, Student-Focused Teaching

My teaching approach is based on understanding through visualization and practice.

Instead of simply demonstrating a drawing, I explain:

How to visualize the object before drawing it
How to identify the different surfaces and views
How the front, top and side views are related
How to determine the required dimensions
How to construct the drawing step by step
How to avoid common drawing mistakes
How to interpret engineering drawings correctly
How the same concept is applied in CAD and real-world design

Lessons include worked examples, practical exercises and real engineering/product examples so that students can gradually develop confidence and independence.

Who Are These Classes For?

These lessons are suitable for:

High school students studying technical/engineering drawing
Diploma students
Mechanical Engineering students
Civil Engineering students
Architecture students
Industrial Engineering students
Product Design students
Manufacturing Engineering students
Other engineering students studying Engineering Graphics or Engineering Drawing
Students preparing for examinations
Beginners learning CAD and technical drawing
University students working on drawing or CAD projects
Professionals who want to refresh or improve their technical drawing skills

Beginners are welcome. No advanced prior knowledge is required.

Online & Interactive Lessons

All lessons are conducted online and interactively.

Depending on the topic, I can use:

Screen sharing
Live drawing demonstrations
CAD demonstrations
2D drafting
3D modelling
Step-by-step problem solving
Practical drawing exercises
Real-world engineering examples

You can bring your specific syllabus, textbook exercises, assignments, CAD projects or exam topics, and the lessons can be adapted to your requirements.

Learn to Think Like a Designer

Engineering drawing is more than producing a neat drawing on paper. It is a method of visualizing ideas, communicating designs and understanding how objects are constructed and manufactured.

My goal is to help you move from:

“I don't understand this shape.”

to

“I can visualize it, draw its views, add the required dimensions and understand how it would be represented in CAD and manufactured.”

Whether you are starting from zero, preparing for an examination, struggling with engineering graphics, learning CAD, or working on a design project, I will guide you step by step at your own pace.

Book a lesson and let's make Engineering Drawing and CAD easier, more visual and more practical.
