About Me

After my MSc in Physics at ETH Zurich I've been working as a physicist in a couple of companies, and I've done a PhD at EPFL in physics (finished in 2022) and am working as a data Scientist now. I've been teaching for over 15 years, and have extensive experience for all ages and levels.

I love teaching and I do this for the pleasure of it. Since finishing my phd and starting working I only take one student at the time due to time constraints in order to be able to dedicate properly to the teaching. I prefer long term commitments to be able to build a rapport and understand the student and his/her needs thoroughly, but I might be available for shorter terms too.

I am fluent in French, Italian, German, and Spanish

Education

Physics BSc in 2012 at the University of Freiburg, Germany
Physics MSc in 2014 at ETH in Zurich
Worked for a couple of years in companies, and then a PhD in nuclear fusion at EPFL, finished in 2022
Working as a data Scientist since then

Experience / Qualifications

I gave several classes in tutorials, and have been giving tuitions since I started university. First with high school student, and later also at university level. Now I have over 15 years of uninterrupted teaching experience

Taliesin
Mathematics and Physics Course | ETHZ Student | For students in high school, college and high school.
As a 3rd year physics student at ETH, I offer private lessons in mathematics as well as academic support for middle school, high school/gymnasium and first year university students. I mainly base myself on the progressive resolution of exercises, to understand where the difficulties come from and to be able to overcome them. I listen and adapt to the student in order to understand their perspective. I can thus approach problems in the way that suits him best, which allows me to create solid foundations and establish an excellent understanding of the subject. A progressive approach to exercises and regular practice builds self-confidence and allows for great improvement over the long term! I have already taught students from: - Swiss Gymnasium -French high school and college - European School - EPFL - Paris Polytechnic School I therefore know the habits of these schools and can easily adapt to the program of the students I accompany. During lessons via ZOOM, I use a tablet that allows me to write directly on the student's screen.

My goal is to help you consolidate your knowledge and successfully achieve your academic goals. Do not hesitate to contact me via Apprentus for more information or to book lessons.

Julien
Private Science Lessons - Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics
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

Lucas
Private math or physics lesson by an EPFL student
I am in the third year of a Bachelor of Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and I can give math or physics lessons for all levels from middle school to the second year of higher education. Being already an assistant in the advanced analysis and physics course, I know how to adapt to everyone so that my course suits you and helps you better understand. I speak fluently French and English.

Dhia
EPFL Student-Researcher | Fundamental & Applied Mathematics, Physics, AI
As an engineering student at École des Ponts et Chaussées (Paris) and researcher in mathematics applied to AI at EPFL, I offer private tutoring in fundamental and applied mathematics for various levels: - Secondary school (Vaud) - University Bachelor's degree (Vaud) - Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles (France) My teaching approach, focused on deep understanding and scientific curiosity, has enabled my students to achieve excellent academic results and develop true autonomy. I also teach physics, chemistry, and computer science (Python, algorithms, Machine Learning). In limited cases, I provide project assistance and teach Modern Standard Arabic. Available via video conference or in Lausanne (depending on availability), I provide personalized support according to your specific needs, whether for regular follow-up or intensive courses with the goal of excelling, not just passing. My students have excelled in Brevet, Baccalaureate, bachelor's programs, preparatory school competitions, and scientific projects. Many have gained enough independence to no longer need support after a year and a half. For my part, I obtained my Baccalaureate in 2020 with an average of 18/20. I also completed intensive preparatory classes in MPSI-MP** before joining École des Ponts et Chaussées, then EPFL for research.

Adrian
Second-year EPFL mechanical engineering student teaching math and physics. High school or first-year university level!
Mathematics: Depending on your level and needs, we can review the fundamentals (calculations, fractions, equations), and delve deeper into more advanced concepts such as analysis (derivatives, integrals, sequences) or linear algebra (matrices, vector spaces). The goal is to progress effectively, whether to consolidate knowledge or prepare for exams. Physics: From school level to higher education, I can support you in the different branches of physics taught in class: mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, optics, waves, etc. Specially skilled in mechanics, I can also delve deeper into this subject for students who need it. Courses are adapted to each student according to their level and objectives. Whether for regular monitoring, exam preparation, or one-off support, I adapt to your pace. Courses available online or in person on the EPFL campus if possible.

Sophia
3rd year student in engineering school at EPFL gives math and physics lessons for all levels
Passionate about science and teaching, I offer private math and physics lessons based on real-world problem-solving. My teaching approach is to help students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts covered by contextualizing them through exercises tailored to their level. A typical lesson begins with a brief discussion to clearly identify the student's challenges. I then work with them through targeted exercises to review and deepen key concepts. As the lesson progresses, we work together to solve a variety of detailed problems, fostering independence and confidence. My unique skills as a teacher lie in my ability to make science accessible and engaging, while constantly adapting my explanations to the way students learn best. My goal is to impart sound and effective reasoning methods, rather than memorizing them. My classes are aimed at students from middle school to high school (all majors), as well as anyone looking to strengthen their foundation in mathematics and physics as part of their higher education. Whether you're struggling or simply looking to expand your knowledge, I'm here to support you and help you progress.

MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS COURSES - for high school and university students
I am a first year student at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL) in the physics section. I had my baccalaureate with honors with 20/20 in mathematics and 18/20 in physics. I therefore master the middle and high school curriculum: in mathematics on all chapters and in physics, particularly the kinematics/dynamics chapters. I am able to take over the course to explain everything that is not clear and say what is important to focus on, give revision advice, correct exercises, work on exercises with the student in an educational manner to that he then approaches similar exercises more easily.

Wahb
Support courses in math, physics or computer science (Java, Scala, C, Assembly or Verilog)
I am here to help you with homework or class exercises that you struggled with, and review the course if necessary, as well as teach techniques to facilitate understanding and resolution. With my experience as a student assistant at EPFL, I can help you find your own blockage and I correct you if there is something that is not right at this level. If you get stuck, I ask you questions to guide you towards the solution without telling you directly. If that is not enough, we do the exercise together in a guided way in the hope that you will be able to solve an exercise of the same type alone in the future. I can also find interesting exercises based on your gaps. All students up to and including a university bachelor's level are welcome. Classes are held online via Zoom or in person. I use screen sharing in the case of Zoom, and I can show you my personal type of resolution.
