I am a physicist, engineering Ph.D., with over ten years of experience in the space sector. I have worked on various space missions (incl. NASA, ESA) on either side of the Atlantic. Back in Brussels I founded an engineering company in the field of space radars.

In order to pursue my passion for teaching outside of academia, I am tutoring high school students in physics and mathematics. I teach to both students in remedial situation, and to gifted students who wish to prepare for university.

Since 2013, I have been maintaining a website, Hazardous Physics, where I explain the inner workings of various electromagnetic devices that I have built in a thorough yet accessible way.

You can find out more about me by googling the name of my company, Brabants Radars.

About Me
* The starting point for the course will be the student's own words: his or her needs, difficulties (are they theoretical? are they in the exercises?), objectives, etc. Based on this, I will draw up the program to be followed, drawing on my own experience and on well-known methods. The course material received in class will be requested in order to target the points requiring work.

* I show the way, with as much information as necessary, but without “giving the answer”: the aim is a deep understanding of the subject, and the student's sense of pride once the exercise has been successfully completed is all the greater.

* When the context lends itself to it, small experimental devices can be used to facilitate understanding.

Holding a master's degree in civil engineering physics with high distinction, I offer mathematics, physics and chemistry lessons for secondary school students.

Beyond the transmission of knowledge, I attach particular importance to the development of critical thinking in students.

My goal is to lead students to ask the right questions: What does a calculation mean? What is its purpose? Why do we use this method? What is the objective behind an exercise? This approach allows us to move beyond purely mechanical learning towards a deeper and more lasting understanding.

I also encourage students to develop their critical thinking skills regarding the methods used: Is the answer consistent? Is the chosen method relevant? Why perform this calculation rather than another? The goal is to teach them to understand what they are doing.

Thanks to my academic background, I have encountered numerous situations where mathematics and science are used to solve real-world problems. This allows me to explain to students the purpose of science courses, showing them the actual use of the concepts studied and how they apply in concrete contexts.

My teaching method also relies on learning through practice: exercises are central to the learning process. They allow students to solidify concepts, develop good reflexes, and learn to structure their thinking when faced with a problem. I guide the student through this process by helping them analyze, understand, and solve exercises progressively and independently.

I therefore seek to transmit a genuine working method: analyze a problem, structure it, translate it into mathematical language, solve it logically and efficiently, and above all develop autonomous and critical thinking in the face of the problems encountered.
