About Me

My name is Francesco. I am an Italo-Swiss photographer and educator in science and science communication at Webster University Geneva.
I hold a PhD in Physical Chemistry (EPFL Lausanne), and my research focused on the ultrafast dynamics of materials and light–matter interaction before I dedicated myself to documentary and artistic photography, in which I earned an MA in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from the University of the Arts London.

Today, I teach science, communication, and photography to international students.
My teaching approach is built on curiosity, clarity, and practice — I believe that we learn best when we understand the deeper meaning of things, whether it’s a thermodynamic equation or a photographic composition.

I always adapt my lessons to each student’s level and goals — whether you’re a high-school pupil, a university student, an adult learner, or an aspiring photographer.

Education

Hello,

I graduated from EPFL (Lausanne) in chemistry and molecular biology, and I have been teaching chemistry at university level for several years.

I offer tutoring in general chemistry and organic chemistry for university students, particularly in medicine, biology, pharmacy and geosciences.

With several years of experience in academic support, I adapt my teaching method to the needs of each student in order to help them consolidate their knowledge, fill their gaps and succeed in their exams.

As a patient and attentive teacher, I strive to make even the most complex concepts clear and accessible.

Feel free to contact me for any further information or to arrange a first lesson.

Regards,
Bilal

Dear student,

I am a chemist graduated from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). I have always been fascinated by science and now I hold a doctorate in solid-state physics from the University of Geneva.

Science subjects can help you pass exams. I have been teaching these disciplines for many years during exercise sessions held at the University as well as in private lessons given as an independent.

For this reason, you will have the possibility to ask me for explanations on any subject. It is indeed useful that you can progress on the basis of what you already know. You will of course have the choice to ask me for remedial lessons to revise or discover entire chapters. Before the first lesson starts, I will invite you to explain your situation to me freely and free of charge so that we can work effectively from the first lesson.

All scientific subjects have in common a method that is called "scientific logic". Whenever the opportunity arises, I will offer you elements of this method because it is this method that will allow you to understand durably and to solve the exercises rigorously.

Your studies are serious business, demand that you be taken seriously.

Best regards,
Julien

The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss maturity program and gymnasium or French programs are done by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools.
Special program for Matura and Terminales.
As well as for (students in international and European Schools in English, they can have support in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology).
For the start of the academic year in Switzerland, support courses for EPSU and ECUS exams.
For the first university year, support courses in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.
Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

Master student at EPFL, I would be happy to help you (you or your child) for the subjects where you have difficulties! At university, I have been an assistant in Chemistry for the first years of EPFL for a few years as well as for a course linking mathematics and electronics, called Signals and Systems. So I am used to teaching and explaining concepts to students with difficulties. I also give private lessons to students passing the Swiss maturity or the French baccalaureate. To try to see together the difficulties as well as the misunderstandings: we go back to the lesson together, we do an exercise together and then I let the student do it independently and we review together if he is blocked or if we need to correct.
I would be delighted to be able to help you in all matters, both scientific and literary! :)

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.

Organic chemistry is a subject that is barely covered in high school before entering medical school. When you enter medical school, you come across professors who talk to you as if you have already understood everything and have been working on it for years.
So I am here to support you, help you and prepare you for the first semester organic chemistry exams.
I am in my 2nd year of a master's degree in medicine at UNIL and have experience with private lessons, having already given them for 4 years now.

I'm in my second year at EPFL and my exams finish at the beginning of July — which means I'm much more available and flexible than usual for those first two weeks of July!

I offer support in math, physics and chemistry for all levels, from primary school to high school, in Lausanne.
Depending on your child's needs, the format can be completely adapted:

For little ones: something light and fun, to keep them connected to math without it feeling like school during the holidays 😊
For middle school students: review the year's concepts, fill in any gaps, and start August with a solid foundation.
For high school students: finish any exercises they were struggling with, revise for a make-up exam, or get a head start on the start of the new school year.

I adapt to each student's pace and explain until it is fully understood. Lessons are available in French, English, or Spanish.
Feel free to contact me so we can find what works best for you!
