About Me

I have always loved understanding the world around me, and this naturally led me to science. Now a second-year student at EPFL in Environmental Science and Engineering, I want to share this curiosity and help students progress with confidence in subjects that can sometimes be demanding, such as mathematics and physics.
I obtained a dual Esabac diploma (French Baccalaureate + Esame di Stato in science), which gave me a solid scientific foundation as well as a particular affinity for language learning. I am bilingual in Italian, and I love teaching this language, especially through discussion, practice, and simple explanations of grammar and conjugation.
As a teacher, I am patient, structured, and attentive. I always adapt my lessons to the student's needs: some need to review the basics, others to solidify their methodology, and still others to prepare for an exam. Students can send me their questions or the lesson topic in advance, which allows me to prepare a clear, effective, and personalized session.
I mainly teach remotely, which offers great flexibility and allows me to work in a comfortable environment, with suitable materials (diagrams, exercises, step-by-step explanations).
I enjoy working with motivated, curious students, or those simply ready to progress at their own pace. My goal is always the same: to make concepts understandable, restore confidence, and show that everyone can succeed with the right method and supportive guidance.

Education

Esabac diploma: double French-Italian certification (Baccalaureate + Esame di Stato scientifico), with scientific specialization.

EPFL: currently in the 2nd year of a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Engineering, a multidisciplinary course combining mathematics, physics, chemistry, geosciences and programming.

Experience / Qualifications

I have already given several private lessons in mathematics, physics, and Italian, mainly to secondary school students. I particularly enjoy supporting students over the long term, monitoring their progress, and adapting my teaching method to their needs.
I also completed two internships in demanding scientific environments:
CERN: discovering the different research sectors and immersing oneself in an international scientific environment.
MeteoSwiss: participation in the collection, analysis and visualization of atmospheric data.
In parallel, I worked two summers in restaurant service, an experience that taught me rigor, stress management, clear communication and a sense of contact — qualities that I find today in my way of teaching.

Private or small group lessons – Maths, Physics and Italian

47 $ /h

Mathematics and physics form the basis of many scientific fields of study, but they can sometimes seem abstract or difficult to grasp on your own. In my courses, I guide students to help them understand the concepts in depth, progress at their own pace, and gain confidence.

Students can send me the topic of the lesson or their specific questions in advance, so that I can prepare a suitable and effective session.

I am also bilingual in Italian. Although it is not my native language, I particularly enjoy teaching it and helping beginners acquire a solid foundation. My Italian lessons are conversation-based, with supplementary grammar and conjugation exercises to ensure natural and enjoyable progress.

I mainly teach remotely, which allows for great flexibility and personalized support, wherever you are.

French courses for beginners or intermediate learners. Language practice is mainly oral.

41 $ /h

I offer French lessons for English or Italian speakers, beginner or intermediate level. I emphasize oral practice of the language.
I propose a discussion to help us improve our everyday French, while of course correcting each mistake.
Don't be ashamed to speak up, that's how you learn the fastest and I will never judge you.

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.

These courses are part of a structured and progressive training in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with JavaScript, designed for beginner or intermediate developers who want to understand in depth how the language works, write clearer, more maintainable code and prepare themselves calmly for modern frameworks like React ⚛️.

Object-Oriented Programming is often perceived as complex or abstract.

My goal is simple: to make it logical, concrete, and immediately applicable.

🎯 Training Objectives

Upon completion of this training, you will be able to:

Understanding what Object-Oriented Programming really is (and when to use it)
Create and manipulate objects in JavaScript in a clean and efficient way
Use ES6 classes, constructors, and methods with confidence
Mastering this, the prototype, and the instantiation logic
Apply encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism without confusion
Avoiding common mistakes made by OOP beginners
Structure your JavaScript code like a professional developer

📖 Training Plan – Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript
1. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming 🧠
Understanding the concept, objectives and benefits of OOP.
2. Procedural Programming vs. OOP
Why unstructured code quickly becomes unmanageable.
3. Objects in JavaScript
Properties, methods and representation of the real world.
4. The keyword this
Understanding the execution context (often poorly understood).
5. Limitations of simple objects
Why duplicating code is a bad idea.
6. Constructive functions
Create multiple objects from the same model.
7. The keyword new
What it's actually doing under the hood.
8. The prototype
Sharing methods and memory optimization.
9. ES6 Classes
Modern syntax and best practices.
10. The builder
Proper initialization of objects.
11. Data Encapsulation
Protect the internal state of objects.
12. Inheritance between classes
Reusing code intelligently.
13. The keyword super
Communication between parent and child in the classroom.
14. Polymorphism
The same behavior, several forms.
15. Composition vs. Inheritance
Choosing the right architecture.
16. Best practices in OOP
Write readable, scalable, and maintainable code.
17. Common mistakes made by beginners
Pitfalls to absolutely avoid.
18. Guided practical exercise
Creation of a concrete class (product, user, etc.).
19. Assessment Quiz (Multiple Choice Questions)
To validate the actual understanding of the concepts.

🛠️ Teaching method: Understand before writing

This training program is based on a progressive and pragmatic approach:
Clear and illustrated explanations
Concrete examples from real projects
Simple but effective exercises
Constant questioning to avoid rote learning
Adaptation to the learner's level and pace
Here, we don't "recite OOP" — we understand it.

🚀 Learner's result

At the end of the training, you will not only know how to write a JavaScript class.
You will know:

1- Why does it exist?
2- When to use it
3- and when not to use it

You will leave with:
a solid understanding of OOP
a cleaner and more professional code
an ideal foundation for learning React, Node.js or any other modern framework

Primary School Teacher. I offer personalized guidance in developing lesson plans and learning activities adapted to current educational regulations. During our sessions, you will learn to structure and write a complete lesson plan, including specific competencies, assessment criteria, core knowledge, methodology, addressing diversity, evaluation, and learning situations. My goal is to help you understand each section so you can independently develop a coherent, rigorous, and high-quality lesson plan.

You will learn to design practical, creative proposals, developing the necessary skills to apply them in the classroom or in competitive examination processes.
