From 68.93 £ /h
Whether you want to develop your poetic sense or improve your language efficiency, whether you are looking to give more life to your oral interventions or to become more concise, I will make you work on your writing and your presence on stage to develop the oratorical style that suits you and allow you to express yourself as you would like.
Depending on your goals (conference, wedding speech, professional presentation, exams or more generally to finally express what you want to express), I bring you my expertise over a few sessions or over the long term. Depending on your profile, we will focus on voice or writing, preparation or improvisation, listening or peroration. As in any discipline, there will be training exercises, techniques to assimilate and automatisms to acquire. We will see together how to overcome the fear of the blank page, we will rework your texts, we will put them in our mouths so that you become aware of your ability to say beautiful, strong and striking things, in accordance with who you are, without trying to take yourself for someone else.

About Me
I offer two types of courses in two different fields: science on one side (maths and physics) and public speaking on the other.
Since the beginning of my studies at the Ecole Polytechnique (France), the transmission of knowledge has been a constant in my life. Far from being a genius myself, having known well the frustrations of not being able or knowing how to ask my questions, I strive to create an environment where my students feel safe to ask theirs, express their concerns and share their opinions without fear of being judged. Attentive to their individual needs, I adapt to their learning style to help them understand mathematical concepts efficiently and without stress.
As for the art of public speaking, it is a discovery that dates back to my student years and the various tournaments and competitions that were booming in Paris in the 2010s. I thus imitated the greatest for a long time before finding my voice, mixing in my taste for literature and philosophy. Since then, the lyrical flights, the hard-hitting truths, the deadpan humor, the chiseled formulas, in short, all the artifices and all the authenticity of public speaking, no longer hold any secrets for me. I learned to use them wisely, according to the context and expectations, always keeping in mind that one only leaves a strong impression on one's audience on condition that one imposes one's personality without trickery. This is how, through work, I won several national eloquence competitions, and later became a pen for the French Secretary of State for European Affairs.

Education
Preparatory class in maths and physics at Henri IV high school (Paris)
Engineering Diploma from the Ecole Polytechnique (France) conferring the grade of master and diploma from the Ecole Polytechnique.
Engineering Diploma from the Ecole Polytechnique (France) conferring the grade of master and diploma from the Ecole Polytechnique.
Experience / Qualifications
15 years of experience in private science lessons for all levels, mainly in high school and in French higher education, but also in Swiss gymnasium and EPFL bachelor. I have also been an examiner in physics and mathematics in the French preparatory class system, teacher in charge of mathematics and physical sciences in a private gymnasium in Switzerland. In short, I already have a long experience of teaching, coupled with a passion that is only growing.
In public speaking, in addition to two years writing speeches for a politician, I have 5 years of experience in training all types of profiles -- adolescents, students and various professionals -- in the sublimities and technicalities of public speaking. I have prepared teams for official tournaments and engineers for presentations, wedding witnesses and association presidents for their speeches, helping them to deliver the best possible speech and to maximize its embodiment. My other great passion being novel writing -- I have published a first novel (Ici-bas, Gallimard, January 2021) -- I make my writing skills available to help you say what you have to say as best as possible.

I offer both reinforcement and in-depth courses, adapted to the students' pace and the teachers' requirements. With 10 years of experience in individual monitoring and 5 years in front of diverse classes, I do not offer so much academic support as lively and interactive courses, whose key words are kindness and encouragement. Familiar with the Swiss and French programs as well as the IB, I know the frequent and less frequent sticking points that students encounter, as well as the classic exercises that must be redone absolutely and those that go further.
My method:
Understanding and assimilating the course are at the heart of everything, and that is why I particularly insist on this point which often requires filling in gaps from previous years. Concrete illustrations and targeted training then facilitate these famous understanding triggers which allow the student to finally release their full potential. We always proceed in stages: course - classic exercises - more advanced exercises, with obviously homework from one time to the next to anchor the knowledge and develop the autonomy necessary to solve complex problems.
Skills of interest for scientific bachelors:
- in mathematics: basic analysis, linear algebra, differential equations, integration, probabilities
- in physics: point and solid mechanics, electrokinetics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, geometric and physical optics, quantum mechanics
