💻 Videoconference courses, from the orientation cycle to the final year of high school.
There's a phrase I hear in almost every first session: "In class I understand, but when I'm faced with the worksheet I don't know where to start."
It's not a question of academic level. It's that no one has ever taught students to recognize the type of problem they're facing. One function exercise looks like another, but the method isn't the same—and until this sorting happens automatically, each exercise starts from scratch. This sorting is what I work on first, even before reviewing the lesson.
🎓 I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics) and have been tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I have worked with numerous students in the Swiss system, as well as in French, Belgian, and international programs.
📚 What I cover, canton by canton
The vocabulary varies from one canton to another, so let's be precise:
✏Geneva and Fribourg — orientation cycle (grades 9 to 11 HarmoS), preparation for entry into secondary school, then the four years of secondary school up to graduation
✏Vaud — pre-gymnasium and general tracks, preparation for the ECR exams, transition to gymnasium, then the three years of gymnasium
✏Neuchâtel — cycle 3, then high school
✏Valais — orientation cycle, then college
Preparation for the Matura exam, all specific options
🔍 How I work
1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly aimed at assessing the level of the student in order to identify the shortcomings observed.
2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work needed, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.
3️⃣ We make sure to stay in regular contact with the student's class teacher to monitor their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.
4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.
5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.
✨ Why this profession
My favorite moment is when a student starts explaining their approach aloud without me having asked anything. It means they're no longer trying to guess what I expect—they're thinking. The rest always follows.
🗣️ Lessons in French or English. Response within the day. An initial exchange of approximately 20 to 30 minutes maximum will be free: I prefer to understand the situation before proposing anything.
