I finished my PhD in Physics at EPFL and now I work as a software engineer. I also teach Physics (General Physics, Electromagnetism, etc...) to university students.

I offer personalized support for each student, while considering their objectives. I help students in difficulty to pass their exams, but also those who want to reach a level of excellence.

The courses will be adapted to each student and each course. I prioritize comprehension to the detriment of memorization and I help students develop their autonomy in problem solving. Students are invited to ask their questions and the methodology to be followed will be chosen in accordance with each individual case.

About Me
I come from Portugal and I have a PhD in Physics from EPFL, Lausanne, where I also worked as a teaching assistant. Before that, I did my Bachelor and Master in Engineering Physics in Lisbon, Portugal, where I worked as a tutor in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Natural Sciences for 4 years, helping students of all levels of education.

I offer personalized support for each student, while considering their objectives. I help students in difficulty to pass their exams, but also those who want to reach a level of excellence and perhaps go a little beyond the school curricula.

The lessons are adapted to each individual case, but what is always present in my way of teaching is the fact that I prioritize understanding to the detriment of memorization and I help students develop their mathematical / scientific reasoning, in order to make them more autonomous.

As important as transmitting knowledge is to share passion through science. It is with this mentality that I work with my students.

Salvation! My name is André and I have just finished my Doctorate in Physics at EPFL. I offer support courses in Mathematics and Sciences for primary school students.

My methods are characterized by personalized support for each student, while considering their objectives. I help students in difficulty to succeed in their learning, but also those who want to reach a level of excellence and perhaps go a little beyond the school programs.

The courses will be adapted to each individual case. I prioritize understanding to the detriment of memorization and I help students develop their mathematical / scientific reasoning, in order to make them more autonomous and give them the bases for their future studies.

A student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 - third year of Bachelor's degree - in the IC (computer science) faculty.

I have been giving private lessons since 2018 in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences since the summer of 2021, I completed a 3-month internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and basic research in neuroscience. I was also accepted-collée (admitted to the competition but the quota places granted limited my entry into medical school) after having completed a national competition that was both selective and elitist to integrate a faculty of medicine: the first year common to health studies. Very difficult in math, physics, organic chemistry and biology.

I was subsequently very involved in collaborative and associative projects to train students for the medical competition, in the first year. I like teaching, making people understand and seeing this moment of light on the student's face for whom everything becomes clear!

***** Procedure during the SUMMER SCHOOL HOLIDAYS (July and August)
for those who want to get AHEAD,
review their BASICS or simply
get back into the swing of things! *****

I have also been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for 8th grade students at the gymnasium or in preparation for their maturity for 6 years. Many of my students have an ADHD profile, and I always enjoy adapting to the needs of each person, maintaining DYNAMICS in the course and doing interactive exercises so that the knowledge sinks in better. ..

Dynamic, I am myself a studious and serious student. I have gone through the challenges and stress of exams and competitions many times. My goal is to give you confidence and provide you with the appropriate method to succeed in your course.

Notes:

- Home visits possible from Morges to Pully: variable rates as no vehicle
- Possible to give courses at Rolex, the EPFL library: fixed and cheaper rates
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Apart from the courses I offer, I specialise in providing support for the following:
- Exam preparation.
- Course reviews.
- Review of an exam not understood or knowledge not acquired.

I can be reached without further ado on the Apprentus.ch platform, for any questions and if necessary.


Do not hesitate to contact me for any information request!
I will answer you without further ado :)
