Àpd 153.99 $ /h

Hi! I am currently an AI Scientist at a US-based company working on cutting-edge AI applied to molecular biology. This is the topic that won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared by D. Baker, J. Jumper, D. Hassabis).

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in computational biophysics, machine learning and computational biology at EPFL. I maintain two Python libraries for Topological Data Analysis and pyflagser.

I have previously been a post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bern, where my research was concerned with the interplay between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

I have been teaching at various levels since I was a PhD student at the University of York (UK), and more recently I was part of the cutting-edge educational project Isaac Physics in Physics/Maths/Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Here is my teaching experience so far:

- As a PhD student, I taught seminars in several of the undergraduate modules taught by the Department of Mathematics. In total, I have around 500 contact hours of experience in seminar teaching and marking, all of which I have found to be very rewarding.

- As a PhD student, I jointly ran a course for talented high school student wishing to be admitted at high-rank universities, and in particular wishing to pass interviews and the STEP admission paper for entry at Cambridge.

- As part of the Isaac Physics project, I created or helped create some of the online content such as theory pages, problems and books. In particular I helped put together a book on GCSE physics and one on A-level chemistry. Again as part of Isaac Physics, I gave seminars to a variety of high school students and interacted with local teachers to communicate the Isaac Physics philosophy and methodology. I also have some experience giving online YouTube webinars.

- Throughout, I have been offering one-to-one tuition to A-level/IB students, university students and adult casual learners.

I am happy to travel within about 4-5km of my postcode 1008 in Prilly. Alternatively, I can offer webcam lessons.

Apprendre les statistiques quand on sait à quoi ça sert, c'est quand même plus intéressant !

Au delà d'un simple soutien, je te propose de renouer avec le vaste monde des statistiques à travers des approches nouvelles (une passion se révélera peut-être, mais là-dessus je ne promets rien !)

Statisticien dans l'âme et de métier, j'ai aussi eu le bonheur d'être assistant de statistiques à l'Unil au cours de mes études. Ce cours privé s'inscrit dans la continuité de mes intérêts, et je peux te prêter main forte dans les domaines suivants :
- statistiques uni/bivariées (bases, tests d’hypothèse, distribution, inférence...)
- statistiques multivariées (régression linéaire/logistique, ACP...)
- programmation (R, Python, Stata, Jamovi, SPSS, SQL...)
- mathématiques (géométrie, trigonométrie, algèbre, analyse...)

Mon cours s'adresse principalement au niveau universitaire (psycho, SSP, géosciences, HEC...) et gymnasial.

Pédagogie et charge de travail adaptées selon le profil et les difficultés rencontrées dans la matière, le tout dans un mélange bien dosé de rigueur et de bonne humeur !

Les matières scientifiques nécessites rigueur, précision, logique et créativité. Je m'occuperai de vous enseigner comme je l'ai appris à l'EPFL à avoir un raisonnement scientifique construit et je vous livrerai des astuces que j'ai découvert pour devenir un pro.
Nous travaillerons de façon pragmatique. L'obkectif consiste à repérer vos failles, vous me proposerez des exercices que vous ne maîtriser pas. Mon rôle consistera alors à comprendre l'origine de l'incompréhension en vous faisant le cours de cette notion. Nous établirons ainsi une progression linéaire qui vous permettra de prendre de l'assurance dans la matère.

Je suis une étudiante en deuxième année de bachelor en génie mécanique qui serait ravie de partager ses méthodes et astuces avec des élèves du primaire/secondaire.
Les méthodes d'apprentissage efficaces diffèrent d'une personne à une autre, c'est pourquoi je m'adapte à la personne et fait de mon mieux pour lui proposer une pédagogie qui semble le plus convenable pour l'élève.
Ma méthodologie consiste dans un premier temps à prendre connaissance des besoins et difficultés de l'élève, puis de comprendre quelles sont les raisons de ces difficultés rencontrées. Je vois ensuite les solutions à apporter, et détermine la méthode qui semble être la plus adaptée pour l'élève en testant différentes façons de lui expliquer les notions.

I am in the second year of my Master's degree at EPFL, where I did my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
I have experience in math and physics with gymnasium and pre-gymnasium students.
I like to share my knowledge and I am a patient and calm person
So I would be happy if I could help you :)

A student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 in the IC (computer science) faculty.

I have been giving private lessons since 2018 in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences since summer 2021, I completed a 3-month internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and basic research in neuroscience.

I have also been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for 8th grade students at the gymnasium or in preparation for their maturity for 6 years. Many of my students have an ADHD profile, and I always enjoy adapting to the needs of each person, maintaining DYNAMICS in the course and doing interactive exercises so that the knowledge sinks in better. ..
I love teaching, making people understand and seeing that moment of light on the student's face for whom everything becomes clear!

Dynamic, I am myself a studious and serious student. I have gone through the challenges and stress of exams and competitions many times.

--> My goal is to give you confidence and provide you with the right method to succeed in your course.

This course is aimed at high school students as well as first- and second-year university students (especially EPFL) wishing to progress in mathematics and physics. Whether to consolidate the basics, better understand the concepts covered in class, or effectively prepare for exams, I offer personalized support, adapted to the pace and objectives of each individual. We can work on key concepts, methods for solving exercises, or even on the rigor expected in scientific studies. My approach emphasizes in-depth understanding, physical intuition, and clarity in reasoning. With method and motivation, progress is always there!

As we often say, mathematics is the basis of everything in life. We do mathematics every day without knowing it, in driving, we measure the overtaking distance before starting to overtake safely, in the kitchen, our mothers measure the amount of salt to put in each meal. In short, we do mathematics in everyday life without knowing it. I know that it is the subject that scares many students but I tell you the truth it is the simplest subject of all. You just have to know the principles and do a lot of exercises that's all.
English is the international language, everywhere you go in the world you encounter English, so knowing how to speak it is a great asset and helps you move freely around the world without restrictions.

Ce cours est à destination des élèves du secondaire I qui souhaitent une aide dans leurs devoirs et/ou qui ont des difficultés en mathématiques.
Diplômé d'un bachelor de psychologie, et doté d'une aisance en mathématiques, mon but est de faire progresser l'élève et le rendre plus confiant en ses capacités.
J'aime transmettre et j'ai de l'expérience dans l'accompagnement éducatif des adolescents et le soutien scolaire.

Je m’appelle Rudel, diplômé de la HEIG-VD et passionné par l’enseignement des mathématiques. Depuis plus de 10 ans, j’aide des élèves du collège au gymnase, ainsi que des adultes en reprise d’études, à progresser et à reprendre confiance. Ce qui me motive, c’est de voir un élève comprendre enfin une notion qui lui semblait impossible quelques jours plus tôt. Ma méthode repose sur la clarté, la patience et une approche personnalisée adaptée au rythme de chacun. Pour moi, enseigner n’est pas seulement transmettre des connaissances, c’est aider chaque élève à croire en ses capacités.
