About Me
Young, dynamic, nice and experienced, I know how to adapt to any age and any level. Tell me your needs and I will help you the best! At the end of college in Geneva, I entered the Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design de Genève where I obtained my diploma in Visual Arts and this experience of painting and writing allowed me to remember and reconnect with my childhood dream of studying physics to explore the nature of this reality. So I started studying physics (at the age of 24) and upgrading in mathematics was not easy for me. It is for this reason that I take great pleasure today in giving accessible and pedagogical explanations, step by step, so that my students have fun following and understanding with as much ease as possible.

Today I am coming to the end of my Physics studies, enriched by this course and I work in education as a laboratory assistant for Physics in secondary education in Geneva.
Education
Currently in M2 of Applied Physics in Geneva
Bachelor / License in Physics at Unige and License in Visual Arts at Head.
Before, I was a student in several school systems (Swiss, French, American and Peruvian).

TRANSFORMING LEANERS INTO TOP ACHIEVERS— FROM PRIMARY TO IB

Welcome to a learning experience designed to inspire confidence, mastery, and academic excellence across Mathematics, Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Whether your child is building foundational understanding in primary school, preparing for the challenges of IGCSE/MYP, or tackling the rigor of A Level and IB (HL & SL), my classes are structured to deliver real, measurable progress.


WHY LEARN WITH ME?

I bring over 10 years of professional tutoring experience** backed by a strong academic foundation. Having graduated with honors from both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine, and further trained in advanced mathematical and scientific pedagogy at top institutions like MIT, I have developed a teaching approach that blends expertise, empathy, and innovation.

BUT MY PASSION FOR TEACHING COMES FROM A DEPPER PLACE.

As someone who once struggled with dyslexia and ADHD, finishing at the bottom of the class, I personally understand the frustrations many learners face. With the guidance of a mentor, I transformed my academic life—rising to the top 1% worldwide in SATs and earning placements at prestigious universities.
This journey fuels my mission: to help every student unlock their potential, no matter where they begin.


WHAT I OFFER

My classes are designed for both students who need patient, structured support and high achievers seeking challenge and enrichment.

Subjects Covered (All International Curricula)

Mathematics – Primary | Secondary | IGCSE | GCSE | A Level | IB AA/AI (SL & HL)
Science– Primary | Lower Secondary | MYP
Physics – IGCSE | A Level | IB (SL & HL)
Chemistry – IGCSE | A Level | IB (SL & HL)
Biology – IGCSE | A Level | IB (SL & HL)

TEACHING APPROACH

* Personalized, one-on-one sessions tailored to each learner’s pace and strengths
* Use of diagrams, real-life examples, and problem-based learning
* Emphasis on conceptual understanding and exam strategy
* Step-by-step explanations for every problem
* Confidence-building techniques for anxious or struggling learners
* Support with homework, revision, coursework, and past papers


FOR PARENTS

Your child will be learning in a supportive, structured environment designed to strengthen skills, fill gaps from earlier years, and rebuild confidence.
You can expect:

* Steady performance improvement
* Clear progress tracking
* Regular feedback
* A tutor who treats your child’s success as a shared mission

FOR STUDENTS

You deserve a teacher who understands you.
You deserve lessons that make difficult concepts finally make sense.
You deserve a guide who will help you go from confused to confident—and even exceptional.
I’m here to help you build the skills, habits, and mindset that top-performing students rely on.

SEE WHAT OTHER PARENTS AND STUDENTS SAY

I always encourage new clients to read my reviews as they reflect the real results, growth, and transformations that students experience in my sessions. Your trust matters and my past students’ success stories say more than I ever could.


LET'S BEGIN THE JOURNEY TOGETHER

Whether you’re looking to catch up, keep up, or excel, I’m here to help you achieve your goals with patience, passion, and proven techniques.

Your child’s success is possible—let’s unlock it together.

• Teaching methodology and techniques: I favour a personalized approach, adapting the courses according to the profile and academic background of each student.
• Typical course structure: tutoring in economics, econometrics, statistics and probability, financial mathematics, trading, investment, or political economy. Courses can take place at home, via videoconference, or at a pre-selected location, ideally quiet, free, and conducive to learning.
• Specifics as a teacher: I offer support throughout the school year, with free corrections of exercises outside of class, regular availability, and the guarantee of being accessible until the end of the year, subject to the general conditions of Superprof.
• Target audience: all levels, regardless of diploma, class or specific characteristics.
-------
The path and the method are in there; take a little bit of each.

Holding a degree in mathematics from EPFL, I offer private lessons in Geneva or online.

I graduated from EPFL with a degree in mathematics, having completed all the Bachelor's level courses in this discipline. I have gained significant experience tutoring students from middle school to university level (mathematics and physics). I have also assisted with teaching at EPFL, particularly in specialized courses such as analytic geometry (advanced mathematics course), analysis (first and second year Bachelor's level), and linear algebra (first year Bachelor's level). My in-depth mastery of the theory in these disciplines provides me with the skills and teaching abilities necessary to effectively support high school and university students, helping them understand the theoretical concepts in their courses and apply them practically in their exercises.

Typical course: a quick review (adapted to needs) of the essential concepts of the course, followed by practical exercises and oral role-playing (going to the board, discussion on the physical meaning, etc.), as in a competitive oral exam.

All my lessons are prepared in advance based on the topics covered in class (the student specifies their needs from one session to the next). I also create a handout containing sample exercises illustrating different methods, fully corrected and explained by me.

My commitment to my students' success is absolute. I only prioritize motivated students who are ready to put in the necessary effort to progress.

My main focus is on in-depth understanding and the quality of work. Depending on the student's request, I can also suggest exercises to do between sessions (not mandatory, depending on available time and homework already assigned by their school).
