Holder of a Master in Neuroscience from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva and wishing to direct myself towards teaching, I give Biology courses for students at the Gymnasium or in Bachelor.

9 years ago, I started to give tutoring lessons in Mathematics, Sciences and French for the youngest, which allowed me to improve my pedagogy and to better adapt to each student. . I have always had fun teaching and this is what, in part, led me to take the path of teaching. This is also why I still offer my help in these same branches for students from 9 to 11th HarmoS.

On the other hand, my years of studies at the Gymnasium in Biology-Chemistry option and my Bachelor of Biology allowed me to have very good knowledge of the subjects taught in Lausanne.

I am attentive and attentive, the idea being to find the best possible method of understanding and learning for everyone!

Whether for regular or one-off courses, do not hesitate to contact me!

My biology courses (biochemistry, biotechnology in particular) are aimed at the following levels: high school students, bachelor's and master's. I am also ready to train adults who are passionate about biology and are trying to obtain a diploma, for example.

I adapt my method after having discussed with the student and I am very patient who has only one desire: the success of the student. I like to pass on my passion for life sciences and use several methods. I am a calm and very flexible person, willing to support students who seek to deepen their knowledge or who have certain difficulties.

- Discussion and understanding of the learning method adapted to the student (mental imagery, diagram, comparison, oral, written and/or visual comprehension)
- Use of adapted tools: textbooks but also computer tools (website, powerpoint, etc.)

In Master at EPFL, I give courses in MATHEMATICS & PHYSICS of support, coaching and preparation for Exams for all levels.

MY METHOD:

I offer effective, methodical and personalized follow-up for each of my students, including:
- A general monitoring and progress sheet defined from the trial session according to the objectives of the student and the parents.
- A summary of each session recalling the essential points covered (method, example, theorem, etc.)

All sessions are prepared in advance by me.

️ --- Only 3 places left! ️---

MY PEDAGOGY:

Mastering and appropriating a subject requires developing an intuition: in order to know which method one should apply to solve a given problem, one must understand why these methods work.
My main objective is to accompany each student in the development of this intuition through various examples, while maintaining a constant dialogue in order to identify errors in reasoning.

These courses are aimed particularly at students at university or post-compulsory secondary level.

Don't wait any longer, contact me, progress and pass your exams!

As a dedicated tutor with over six years of experience, I specialize in teaching Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry to students of all levels, from primary school to university. My academic background is robust, holding honors degrees from both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine. This diverse educational experience has equipped me with a strong foundation in scientific principles and the analytical skills necessary for effective teaching. My tutoring journey began while I was still at university, where I was consistently ranked among the top of my class. This early start ignited my passion for education and set the stage for a fulfilling career in tutoring.

My teaching approach is carefully tailored to meet each student’s individual needs. I recognize that every learner has a unique style and pace, and I strive to adapt my methods accordingly. Whether a student requires in-depth explanations of complex theories or concise summaries of key concepts, I ensure that my lessons cater to their specific requirements. This flexibility allows me to build a strong foundation in core concepts while guiding students through practical problem-solving techniques that are essential for mastering the subjects.

In my lessons, I focus not only on helping students grasp the subject matter but also on developing critical thinking and analytical skills. I believe that understanding the "why" behind mathematical and scientific concepts is crucial for long-term retention and application. Therefore, I encourage students to engage in discussions, ask questions, and explore the material deeply. This interactive approach fosters a love for learning and promotes intellectual curiosity, which is vital for success in any academic endeavor.

I offer tutoring sessions in various formats to accommodate different preferences and circumstances. Students can choose in-person sessions at my location or opt for online tutoring using an interactive whiteboard and video platforms like Zoom or Skype. This modern setup provides a seamless learning experience that is just as effective as face-to-face instruction. My goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many of my students achieve outstanding results, including grades of "Excellent," "Very Good," and "Good." This success is particularly rewarding when I see students who initially struggled make significant progress. By identifying and addressing their unique learning gaps, I help them develop the confidence and skills necessary to excel in their studies.

I am committed to empowering students with the tools they need to succeed in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My lessons are designed to demystify complex concepts and make them clear and accessible. I strive to instill a sense of accomplishment in each student, guiding them to reach their maximum potential.

In addition to academic support, I also emphasize the importance of cultivating a growth mindset. I encourage my students to view challenges as opportunities for growth, helping them develop resilience and perseverance that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

If you are seeking a dedicated tutor who can provide personalized support and foster academic excellence, I invite you to reach out. Whether you are a student looking to improve your grades or a parent seeking guidance for your child, I am here to help. Let’s embark on a journey of discovery and achievement together, ensuring that every student can excel in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry!
