Master's student at EPFL: Math or programming lessons

From 54.24 $ /h

As a master's student in computer science at EPFL and a student assistant for several years, I am used to explaining complex concepts to people with very different backgrounds. I love logic, well-constructed reasoning, and those moments when everything finally “clicks.” My approach is simple: understand how you think, then adapt the explanation, not the other way around.

I offer math and programming lessons, adapted to all levels, in French or English.

In math, I can help from the most basic level up to the end of high school: algebra, analysis, functions, derivatives, integrals, probabilities, mathematical logic, or simply consolidating the basics. The goal is not to memorize formulas, but to understand the reasoning behind them (yes, they make sense, I promise :) ).

In programming, I support students and beginners as well as more advanced learners in Python, Java, Scala, C/C++, and Bash. Whether you want to learn to program from scratch, understand a course, write cleaner code, or pass an exam, I adapt to your goals.

My classes are designed to be interactive: we ask questions, we make mistakes, and we progress! I want you to leave having learned something new.

About Me

My name is Patrick, I am 22 years old, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Computer Science at EPFL, after having successfully completed a bachelor's degree in Computer Science there. I am fluent in French and English.

Being passionate about mathematics, computer science, and generally anything related to logic, I like to understand how things work. These are subjects that most people dislike, but for a single reason: they are often poorly taught, because everyone has a different way of learning, and that's where I can help.

I have been a student assistant at EPFL for three years now, where I help Bachelor's students demystify the complex concepts they are taught.

My goal: to transform “I don't understand” into “Ah, but actually, it makes sense!”

Teaching is a passion of mine, and if it can be made clearer and more effective, while adding a touch of fun, I'm all for it!

Understand maths for primary students.

38.37 $ /h

Math can seem difficult at first glance. However, once you grasp the basic principles, everything becomes clear and easy! That's why, if you're struggling with this subject, my private tutoring can greatly help you achieve that breakthrough and understand everything!

I am still a student, but I have a lot of aptitude for math, which is why I would like everyone to be able to understand it in the same way as me.
I can therefore teach primary school students or a student who has not yet gone beyond the 10th grade (Harmos).

Master student at EPFL and student assistant for the microcomputer course (C / C ++ programming), I propose this course to learn how to program or improve your level in C or C ++ programming. This course is aimed at different levels and can be adaptable depending on the level of the student (s). A course material prepared with a theoretical part and practical exercises can be provided if necessary. In the event we can also follow together your own course material. This course can be followed individually or in groups of varying sizes. Please contact me for group rates.

A course to introduce the basics of programming in C ++ or Python of your choice (possibility of doing both).

From "Hello world" to an introduction to object oriented programming.

This course is a good option for students who want to prepare for their first year at EPFL.

No minimum duration but it is recommended to do at least 10 weeks of lessons. (Note that the pace of the course depends on the student's difficulties.)
