About Me

I’m a second-year student in Life Sciences at EPFL, offering tutoring in mathematics and physics-chemistry for students up to the gymnase level. I hold a French scientific baccalaureate with a specialization in mathematics and physics, and I’ve been tutoring since high school.

My goal is to help each student progress with confidence and structure, in a calm and supportive environment. I focus on understanding key concepts, applying them through targeted exercises, and building long-term autonomy in scientific subjects.

Each session is adapted to the student’s needs: we review problem areas, work step by step, and strengthen foundations before tackling more complex exercises. I always aim to keep things clear, structured, and stress-free.

If you're looking to fill gaps, prepare for an exam, or just get more comfortable with science, feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to help!

Hello,

A former student of EPFL (Bachelor of Life Sciences) and HEC Lausanne (Master of Management), I offer courses at primary and secondary level to best prepare you for the maturity exam or the baccalaureate.

Depending on your location, I can give online lessons, via zoom. Thanks to the feedback from several students, I was able to develop online learning methods that are as effective as in person.

Dear Parents,

You have come here seeking help for your child, and you have made the right decision. Public schools play a crucial role in our education, but sometimes they lack the necessary resources to cater to each student individually.

I, too, experienced a challenging academic journey for this very reason. My struggles were not greater than those of others, but the rigid schedule limited my ability to fully flourish. Fortunately, with the support of my parents, I had the opportunity to attend a private school and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a chemist.

I am now a chemist who holds a degree from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), and on April 11, 2019, I successfully defended a doctoral thesis in experimental physics at the University of Geneva (UNIGE).

However, all this knowledge is only valuable if it can be effectively communicated. As you know, communication is an essential aspect of teaching. There are teachers who can be uninteresting, and then there are others whose passion is contagious. I have often observed that teachers who manage to ignite their students' interest take the time to provide context for what they teach. This approach often sparks curiosity in students, leading them to engage willingly.

Your child's studies are a serious matter, you are right to look for solutions.

Best regards,
Julien

As a master's student at EPFL, I offer support courses to share my experience in mathematics, physics and biology. Whether at the secondary, gymnasium or university level, the sessions revolve around the resolution of exercises and the resumption of basic theory in order to understand the key concepts. These courses can be adapted with a view to preparing for one or more exams in particular. I can also provide help in organization and working methods.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your specific needs and establish a tailor-made program that will perfectly match your learning objectives.

Looking forward to working with you,

Alexandrine

I am a second-year master's student at EPFL, in biology. I offer support courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. The course offers a possibility of help for students having difficulties in the proposed courses. The student will find a framework where he can ask these questions, discuss methodologies and improve. Putting my knowledge at the service of other people is a plus that I like to share.

I am at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Master's student in physics at EPFL.

The courses are aimed in particular at university students, but also at secondary school students. For those attending EPFL, I can give classes in person. Otherwise, I am also available for online courses. The topics and course delivery are agreed with the students according to their specific needs. They can include both theoretical explanations and the carrying out of practical exercises.

From my own experience, I have found that everyone can understand the most complex concepts, you just need to adopt the right approach and teaching method, which varies from person to person. As it is not always possible to make this important distinction in general courses, my intention is to provide those who need it with help in catching up with the program by filling in gaps and/or doubts. I do not favor a mnemonic approach, but rather a deep understanding of the subject.

I offer academic support and homework help in science subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.). I obtained my scientific Baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

Before each lesson, I like to glance at the chapter or exercises to refresh my memory on certain theorems or formulas if necessary. This allows me to arrive prepared and explain the concepts clearly and in a structured way.

During the lesson, I guide your child step by step, taking the time to re-explain concepts, review the basics if necessary, and help them gain confidence. My goal is not just to solve the exercises, but above all to ensure they truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

Mathematics and physics form the basis of many scientific fields of study, but they can sometimes seem abstract or difficult to grasp on your own. In my courses, I guide students to help them understand the concepts in depth, progress at their own pace, and gain confidence.

Students can send me the topic of the lesson or their specific questions in advance, so that I can prepare a suitable and effective session.

I am also bilingual in Italian. Although it is not my native language, I particularly enjoy teaching it and helping beginners acquire a solid foundation. My Italian lessons are conversation-based, with supplementary grammar and conjugation exercises to ensure natural and enjoyable progress.

I mainly teach remotely, which allows for great flexibility and personalized support, wherever you are.

As a student myself, I always share the same experiences and stressful phases as my students (difficult lessons to understand, exams, assignments, etc.), and I find this to be a major asset in one-on-one tutoring. It's a close connection that most qualified teachers overlook, which prevents them from understanding the student's difficulties.

I am currently in my second year at EPFL and passed my first year on my first attempt. In addition to good results at the pre-university level, I continue to excel in my studies (5.25/6 average) and am developing rigor, composure under stress, excellent organizational skills, and above all, a demanding work ethic.
In terms of my career path, I am considering a Master's degree in Robotics at EPFL as well, because it is a subject that I am passionate about.

To best teach a student struggling with a scientific subject, I believe it's crucial to vary the methods and terminology used. A perspective different from that of a high school/college (or even middle school) teacher can shed light on a topic sometimes perceived as "complicated".
That is why I try to be as close as possible to the student, to understand their interests, in order to give simplified, visual, schematic explanations that are easily understood by the student, and that remain a clear reference.

To make the most of our time with the student, I try to prepare each lesson meticulously. To do this, I will ask the student about their needs for the next lesson (if they have specific requirements, for example, a test in class or a lesson they didn't understand), or I will prepare a personalized learning plan as best I can.
