Private tutoring in physics, chemistry, and mathematics

From 33.93 € /h

I am currently a Physics and Chemistry teacher, a position I hold part-time. This allows me to alternate between lecturing in the classroom and providing personalized tutoring. This dual role enables me to maintain a thorough understanding of the official curriculum while offering a tailored approach adapted to each student's specific learning difficulties.

My journey :
My studies began with advanced mathematics (Maths Sup), before I earned my degree in Materials Engineering. I then worked in the cutting-edge nuclear sector (CEA) on high-tech challenges. However, teaching always appealed to me; it was a calling I'd had since my student days. The day I took the plunge and entered the classroom, I knew I was where I belonged. I've never left the field of education since.

My approach:
Flexible and structured to precisely meet the student's objectives. Each session is custom-designed according to the needs of the moment:
Review of the lesson: If a concept seen in class has remained unclear, we review the student's lesson point by point to remove the obstacles and clarify the theory.
Complete lesson: To get ahead or make up for an absence, I can provide an entire lesson on a specific chapter, supported by concrete examples from my engineering background.
Intensive training: Performing direct application exercises to master the basics, then moving on to more complex exercises to develop reflexes.
Summaries and summaries: At the end of each chapter or before an exam, we create summary sheets to highlight key points and essential formulas.
Further study: For students aiming for excellence or higher scientific studies, I offer further study exercises and an introduction to concrete applications (engineering, nanomaterials, etc.).
Methodology: Particular emphasis is placed on writing, work organization and time management during the tests.

About Me

My teaching approach is to spark interest above all else. For me, you can't learn science without understanding its applications. That's why I always take the time to illustrate my lessons with concrete experiments and examples that resonate with students (everyday technologies, sports, movies, games). My goal is to transform an abstract concept into a useful and understandable tool.
The feedback I receive from my students in public schools and their parents is consistent. They appreciate an environment free from judgment. I never give a "ready-made" solution, and I never put the student down. On the contrary, I guide them through questioning so they can find their own way to the correct answer. In this way, even mistakes become constructive steps. The student understands why they were wrong and leaves the session with the satisfaction of having found the solution independently.

Typical session structure:
- Correction and analysis of the exercises provided as a supplement, with clarification of any points that remained unclear.
- Discussion and explanation of the concepts studied during the week, in order to ensure a solid and lasting understanding.
- Step-by-step assistance in completing the mandatory exercises.

The service also includes:
- Personalized preparation based on the student's progress in their program.
- The creation of targeted additional exercises to consolidate key concepts and promote effective progress.

To ensure optimal support, students are encouraged to communicate outside of class hours (via messages or video conferencing) to ask questions, share their difficulties, and indicate the concepts they wish to explore further in the following session.

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.

I offer math tutoring, specializing in algebra and algorithms, and I teach a general level of math prior to university studies. My lessons complement school courses. A typical lesson is structured as follows: we review material covered in class, focusing on concepts the student finds challenging. Then, we work through exercises and homework assignments. If the student is particularly motivated, we may include additional exercises in mathematical logic (short math puzzles, theorem proofs, etc.).

I am currently in my fourth semester of teacher training and have been giving private tutoring lessons on and off since finishing high school. Two years ago, I started tutoring privately as a side job, giving up to eight hours of private lessons per week in the subjects mentioned above, or whatever else was needed, for students aged 8 to 23.

For me, the personal aspect is central. It's important to me to see each student and try to understand where their understanding is lacking, and then to build on that understanding. With kindness and patience, I try to support their learning and motivate them.

I would be happy to hear from you!

I'm currently in the 4th semester of training to learn and, after completing the obligatory school course, I don't have to regulate the cours de soutien scolaire. Il ya deux ans, j'ai commencé à enseigner en privé comme activité accessoire. There are only 8 hours of course per week in different matières, including the different levels, 8 to 23 years old.

Pour me, the aspect of personnel is essential. I have a heart for your individuality and understanding of the situation in difficult situations with the ability to intervene precisely at the end. With good care and patience, you will learn how to learn from the apprenticeship and encourage motivation.

I remember receiving a message from your part!

I offer private lessons in languages, history, and mathematics, tailored to each student and with a practical, dynamic, and above all, fun approach. My goal is for learning to be not only useful but also entertaining and motivating.

In languages, I work on oral expression, comprehension, and writing through dynamic activities such as conversations, debates, and practical exercises that help to gain fluency and confidence.

In history, I focus on students understanding the concepts and processes, not just memorizing them. I use diagrams, clear explanations, and engaging examples to make the subject more accessible and easier to remember.

In mathematics, I help students understand the concepts from the ground up, with simple explanations, guided exercises, and small challenges that make the subject more manageable and logical.

The classes are fully personalized according to the student's level and objectives: academic reinforcement, exam preparation, or general improvement.

My method is based on active learning, with a close environment where the student can participate without pressure and learn progressively.

Are you looking for math support for your child in Secondary I? I offer private lessons adapted to the Vaud curriculum, either in person in Lausanne or online.
As an 18-year-old student in a sports-studies program at the gymnasium, I have just completed the mathematics program. This close familiarity with the subject matter allows me to understand precisely where students struggle: transitioning from concrete to abstract calculations, manipulating fractions and proportions, basic equations, linear functions, and plane geometry.
What we work on together:
• The concepts covered in class, based on textbooks and student exercises
• Occasional difficulties or blockages that arise
• Preparation of meaningful assessments and cantonal benchmark tests
• The method: how to read a problem statement, structure an answer, and verify a result
My teaching method: I adapt the pace to each student, I always start with the materials they use in class, and I place equal emphasis on understanding and confidence. Many students fall behind not because of a lack of ability, but because they have fallen behind on a few key concepts. Identifying these concepts and reviewing them thoroughly often changes their entire trajectory.

I offer private lessons in math, physics, chemistry, life and earth sciences and French to help students better understand their lessons, progress and gain confidence.

The sessions are tailored to each student's level and needs: reviewing difficult concepts, homework help, test/exam preparation, and practice exercises. I always try to explain things simply and clearly, using a patient and encouraging approach.

My goal is for the student to truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

I want to make myself useful while financing my studies in mathematics at EPFL. I offer mathematics and physics lessons until the end of high school. The most important thing when I transmit knowledge is to ensure that the student has understood the purpose of the course and the exercises. Moreover, my goal is to give back the desire to study these subjects to those who lose motivation and courage, which frequently happens for many young people. I will demonstrate pedagogy, dynamism and patience with the students.
