About Me
Currently I am a full time researcher in experimental particle physics, based at the university of Geneva, CH. I love particles and especially I love to explore different methods trough which we can detect them.During my continuous education I designed and constructed tens of detectors, passing my knowledge to students with various backgrounds: from pharmacy/business to highly specialised physics master/Ph.D. student.
I love to talk about research and the universe itself, and I consider that the only moment when research reaches its goal is when knowledge is successfully passed towards the younger generations.
During my career I have been based (and still am) at several world leading institutes, including CERN and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).
Outside research, my life revolves around cycling and mountain biking, having obtained the title of national champion at amateur level in my country.
Education
BSc/MSci -> University of Birmingham, UK:Here I obtained the title of master in particle phyiscs and cosmology. My masters project involved acquiring data in a more efficient way at one of the biggest experiments from CERN: NA62.
Ph.D -> University of Geneva, CH.
Based in the particle physics (neutrino) group, here I designed, constructed, and analsed the data of a novel particle detector with improved resolution.
Experience / Qualifications
Teaching -> 6 yearsGuided tours for physics experiments- > 5 years

Private lessons in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and Homework Help.
Graduated in mathematics and physics, I offer my help to students who encounter difficulties in these two subjects. My approach is to review with them the key points of the lessons and to assist them in their homework, whether at home or through online sessions via webcam.
Do not hesitate to contact me for a first request; I usually respond within 24 hours.
My goal is to help the student understand his course and his exercises, and to guide him on the right path so that he can succeed in his school or university year. I support students of all levels, from 14 years old to the second year of university, in the fields of science, economics or any other field where courses in mathematics, statistics, computer science and physics are exempted.
Classes can be given at home (with a price including the class and travel expenses) or by webcam (with a specific price for the online course).
For rehearsal sessions, I generally recommend between 1 and 2 hours per week, and up to 10 hours per week for intensive review and refresher courses.

Private lessons in mathematics - physics - chemistry
Student in scientific preparatory class at the lycée du Parc, for several years giving private lessons in math, physics and chemistry, I realized how nice helping students in the field of education was. This is why I offer you my help in these subjects throughout the summer at flexible hours.
From small classes to high school, I will be able to adapt specifically to the needs of each student, in particular by writing myself exercise subjects that best correspond to the skills of each student as well as those expected from the program.
I apply myself during each course to establish a rigor necessary for the success of the students as well as to develop a scientific curiosity so as to allow the students to progress autonomously thereafter.
In this particular situation of health crisis, many students were unable to work in conditions as pleasant as desired. I will of course adapt to everyone's situations (face-to-face or by videoconference / virtual board) during this summer so that each student can find a level corresponding to the expectations of the program for next year.
Remaining at your disposal for further information.

I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company.
I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 9 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools.
Additionally, I hold the position of president at the astronomy society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments.
As a educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am.

Private coding / programming lessons with python
Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.
This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.
As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.
I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.
Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

Learn Python programming from beginners to advanced at your own pace. I would be glad to be with you along your learning path. You can be young school goers adults working and want to learn something or someone simply want to explore. When we use a computer the most fascinating part is learning to code.

Middle school level mathematics, physics and chemistry courses
The courses will be structured in this way:
- Answering the student's questions
- Course questions to answer
- Help with homework
- Identification of gaps and explanation
- Some additional exercises to consolidate the basics, better integrate the theorems, know when and how to use them and ensure that the student has understood the work required. Of course, each student will go at their own pace, the important thing being that everything we cover in class is acquired. With work and perseverance, the results will be observable! Courage !
Adam
Private lessons in mathematics and physics. Secondary and university level.
I also give private lessons to college and high school students. I adapt my lessons according to the needs and level of each student. I can follow the school or university program, or go beyond if necessary.
My teaching method favors a classic approach:
1) Thorough understanding of the subject and its importance in the field of study or in daily life.
2) Illustration by concrete examples.
3) Realization of practical exercises to properly assimilate and finally master the subject.
I consider comprehension and logical reasoning as essential elements. I accompany the student in his progress and encourage him to work outside of class hours if it suits him.
