About Me

Passionate about life sciences and the transmission of knowledge, I am a Doctor of Neuroscience and a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva. My academic excellence (Preparatory Classes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Sciences; Bachelor's Degree in Cell Biology, Genetics, Microbiology and Physiology; Master's Degree in Neuroscience, Doctorate in Neuroscience) combined with my training in clinical psychology allows me to offer unique educational support tailored to each student.

If I am lucky enough today to be a Doctor of Neuroscience and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Geneva, I owe it in large part to the extraordinary professors who have marked my career. I still remember the biology teacher in high school who transformed each class into a scientific adventure, the preparatory class professor who made biochemistry as captivating as a detective novel, or my thesis supervisor who passed on to me his contagious passion for the mysteries of the brain.
These exceptional teachers all had one thing in common: they didn't just impart knowledge, they knew how to ignite that spark of curiosity that transforms learning into pleasure. Thanks to them, I discovered that science, when taught well, becomes absolutely fascinating! Cellular mechanisms become thrilling stories, equations come to life, and suddenly, you want to know more, to explore, to understand.
Today, it's my turn to play this role. My ambition? To be for my students that teacher who makes a difference, the one who transforms biology into a passion, who inspires confidence, who shows that yes, it is possible to succeed and above all, that it's fun! Because I am convinced: when teaching is done well, learning becomes a game, difficulties become stimulating challenges, and successes become shared victories.
Every student who discovers the joy of learning, who overcomes their inhibitions, or who suddenly realizes that "actually, it's not that complicated!" reminds me why I love teaching. It's this transmission of passion, this moment when everything becomes clear in a student's eyes, that motivates me every day. Being the catalyst for these turning points is my way of giving back what I've received and contributing, in my own way, to giving birth to new scientific vocations.

The student will choose one or more of the 4 courses offered.

This particular course is intended to help students with academic difficulties concerning the two scientific subjects: biology or chemistry, or also concerning the two languages: French (especially grammar and conjugation) or Italian (Level A1 and A2).

Being a Master student in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and knowing that the curriculum of Pharmacy studies mainly includes chemistry and biology in detail, I would be able to help students with difficulties regarding these two modules in a proper way to aim for excellence.

Also my linguistic knowledge in French, English, Arabic, and Italian, pushed me to be a source of help to students who find difficulties in French (especially Grammar and conjugation) and Italian.

I will be as always, flexible and I will respond as much as necessary to the student so that he can succeed his year by managing his stress with enthusiasm and perpetual courage.

Dear student,

I am a chemist graduated from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). I have always been fascinated by science and now I hold a doctorate in solid-state physics from the University of Geneva.

Science subjects can help you pass exams. I have been teaching these disciplines for many years during exercise sessions held at the University as well as in private lessons given as an independent.

For this reason, you will have the possibility to ask me for explanations on any subject. It is indeed useful that you can progress on the basis of what you already know. You will of course have the choice to ask me for remedial lessons to revise or discover entire chapters. Before the first lesson starts, I will invite you to explain your situation to me freely and free of charge so that we can work effectively from the first lesson.

All scientific subjects have in common a method that is called "scientific logic". Whenever the opportunity arises, I will offer you elements of this method because it is this method that will allow you to understand durably and to solve the exercises rigorously.

Your studies are serious business, demand that you be taken seriously.

Best regards,
Julien

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

👨‍🎓 With 4 years of experience in distance education, I am a mathematics teacher specializing in support lessons and private lessons. I also teach physics and chemistry as well as scientific subjects in general.

I hold a Master's degree in Operational Research (Applied Mathematics) and I have been teaching private lessons for more than three years, mainly mathematics for middle and high school levels.

✏ I have taught students from different schools, whether public, private, following the French program (mission), Belgian, Swiss, Spanish (students from French-speaking or English-speaking Spanish schools) or American. In summary, all French or English programs.

✏ I support students from A to Z in all stages of their learning, using a simple, new generation and effective methodology: explanation of lessons, summary of lessons, application and deepening exercises, etc.

✏ I also prepare students for exams and competitions.

✏ I also support students with their homework (homework help).

✏ All my students have made extraordinary progress and achieved their goals, with grades of 16, 17, 18 or 19 out of 20.

Sessions usually take place as follows:

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly intended to assess the level of the student in order to determine the shortcomings noted.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work required, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay up to date with the student's class teacher to track their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

I also adapt my methodology according to the needs of each student, which means that everyone has a personalized working method adapted to their needs!

I also offer crash courses for those preparing for the start of the school year, so that they start the year well prepared 💪 and with a head start on the program.🧠

💭 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me ;)

Was the school year that ended marked for your child by negative experiences in Maths and Physics Chemistry?
The averages are not what you and he wanted?
Do you think that an intensive training course is necessary to prepare for the start of next school year?
Is the child motivated and ready to sacrifice two weeks of vacation?
Would he like to work on additional exercises from a vacation notebook?
If you answered YES to these questions, do not hesitate to contact me to establish a meeting schedule.

Born in Barcelona and a resident of Geneva since 2019, I worked for five years as a biology researcher at the University of Geneva and have over ten years of experience as a private tutor in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology for secondary school students (grades 7-9) and adults. My students have consistently achieved excellent results.

I offer in-home tutoring for students preparing for the French Baccalaureate exam (maturité) in the following subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. The goal of my lessons is to provide solid academic support and effective preparation for the scientific Baccalaureate for students experiencing difficulties. I travel directly to the student's home for more personalized instruction and remain available to answer their questions promptly via text or email, even outside of class time. I tailor my lessons to each student's specific needs. My methodology focuses on analyzing difficulties and finding appropriate solutions. I prepare theoretical or practical explanations as needed and select the most relevant exercises to deepen understanding of the academic content. I help students reason and develop logical problem-solving methods, avoiding reliance on automatic responses or rote memorization. The pace of work is, of course, adapted to each student's needs and abilities to ensure optimal learning.
