Graduated with a Master's degree from EPFL - Gives Maths lessons for Compulsory School / Federal Maturity / 1st year EPFL, MAN, CMS / Bac

From 44 Fr /h

I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Mathematics from EPFL, where I also worked as a student assistant for 4 years, notably for the CMS (Special Mathematics Course), the MAN (Upgrade), as well as for several first-year Bachelor's courses. I also served as a corrector for multiple exam sessions and wrote a handout for a course for Master's students in Mathematics at EPFL. Through these experiences, I had the opportunity to support many students in successfully completing their first year, often considered one of the most demanding.

Today, I offer private math lessons for all levels, from compulsory school to the federal maturity, as well as for Bachelor students needing support in subjects with a strong mathematical component.

Passionate about teaching, what I appreciate above all is seeing students' progress, their confidence and their growing understanding. My methodology is based on an intuitive understanding of concepts, through simple and clear examples, as well as structured support in reasoning. I place particular emphasis on solving exercises, because it is through regular practice that we consolidate our knowledge and truly progress in mathematics.

About Me

My name is Thomas, I just graduated from EPFL, where I earned a master's degree in mathematics. I'm currently on sabbatical while waiting to start my doctorate, and I'm taking the opportunity to give private math lessons and do substitute teaching at the gymnasium and compulsory school.

I am passionate about mathematics, especially number theory and the random and chaotic phenomena that can be observed in it. Outside of math, I enjoy playing guitar, cooking, and hiking.

What I love most is sharing this passion, sparking students' curiosity, and making math fun. For me, math shouldn't just be understood—it should also be fun to do!

Education

After obtaining my French scientific baccalaureate, I began my studies at EPFL in mathematics. I first obtained my Bachelor's degree, then more recently, my Master's degree in mathematics with a minor in computer science.

Experience / Qualifications

I was a student assistant for 4 years at CMS/MAN and for some first-year courses. I have been an exam corrector on multiple occasions. I am co-editor of the handout for the "Ergodic Theory" course given in the Master of Mathematics program at EPFL. I have also led popular science workshops to promote science, and math in particular. I am currently a substitute teacher at the high school and compulsory school.

Dear Parents,

You have come here seeking help for your child, and you have made the right decision. Public schools play a crucial role in our education, but sometimes they lack the necessary resources to cater to each student individually.

I, too, experienced a challenging academic journey for this very reason. My struggles were not greater than those of others, but the rigid schedule limited my ability to fully flourish. Fortunately, with the support of my parents, I had the opportunity to attend a private school and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a chemist.

I am now a chemist who holds a degree from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), and on April 11, 2019, I successfully defended a doctoral thesis in experimental physics at the University of Geneva (UNIGE).

However, all this knowledge is only valuable if it can be effectively communicated. As you know, communication is an essential aspect of teaching. There are teachers who can be uninteresting, and then there are others whose passion is contagious. I have often observed that teachers who manage to ignite their students' interest take the time to provide context for what they teach. This approach often sparks curiosity in students, leading them to engage willingly.

Your child's studies are a serious matter, you are right to look for solutions.

Best regards,
Julien

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.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from EPFL, and I am currently a 2nd year student of a Master's degree in Communication Systems at EPFL. I am available to assist you in your revisions, whether by helping you understand certain concepts, solving exercises or anything else that could help you.

With an average higher than 5/6 in the Bachelor, my skills in mathematics and computer science (whether theoretical or programming) are solid to help students ranging from primary school to the beginning of the Bachelor.

Having been an assistant in EPFL courses on several occasions, I particularly enjoy helping my students understand concepts with which they have difficulty, by giving them a new vision. I obviously remain very flexible, the most important thing being to adapt as best as possible to everyone's needs.

During a mathematics or scientific branch course, the student has specific questions or subjects to address (ranging from compulsory school to the end of the gymnasium in maturity/reinforced math) in order to fill in the gaps in the subject . If he wants to get ahead of the program or needs help with homework/exercises, this is also possible.

A student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 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 summer 2021, I completed a 3-month internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and basic research in neuroscience.

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. ..
I love teaching, making people understand and seeing that moment of light on the student's face for whom everything becomes clear!

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 right method to succeed in your course.
