Private tutoring in physics, chemistry, and mathematics

From 28 £ /h

I am currently a Physics and Chemistry teacher, a position I hold part-time. This allows me to alternate between lecturing in the classroom and providing personalized tutoring. This dual role enables me to maintain a thorough understanding of the official curriculum while offering a tailored approach adapted to each student's specific learning difficulties.

My journey :
My studies began with advanced mathematics (Maths Sup), before I earned my degree in Materials Engineering. I then worked in the cutting-edge nuclear sector (CEA) on high-tech challenges. However, teaching always appealed to me; it was a calling I'd had since my student days. The day I took the plunge and entered the classroom, I knew I was where I belonged. I've never left the field of education since.

My approach:
Flexible and structured to precisely meet the student's objectives. Each session is custom-designed according to the needs of the moment:
Review of the lesson: If a concept seen in class has remained unclear, we review the student's lesson point by point to remove the obstacles and clarify the theory.
Complete lesson: To get ahead or make up for an absence, I can provide an entire lesson on a specific chapter, supported by concrete examples from my engineering background.
Intensive training: Performing direct application exercises to master the basics, then moving on to more complex exercises to develop reflexes.
Summaries and summaries: At the end of each chapter or before an exam, we create summary sheets to highlight key points and essential formulas.
Further study: For students aiming for excellence or higher scientific studies, I offer further study exercises and an introduction to concrete applications (engineering, nanomaterials, etc.).
Methodology: Particular emphasis is placed on writing, work organization and time management during the tests.

About Me

My teaching approach is to spark interest above all else. For me, you can't learn science without understanding its applications. That's why I always take the time to illustrate my lessons with concrete experiments and examples that resonate with students (everyday technologies, sports, movies, games). My goal is to transform an abstract concept into a useful and understandable tool.
The feedback I receive from my students in public schools and their parents is consistent. They appreciate an environment free from judgment. I never give a "ready-made" solution, and I never put the student down. On the contrary, I guide them through questioning so they can find their own way to the correct answer. In this way, even mistakes become constructive steps. The student understands why they were wrong and leaves the session with the satisfaction of having found the solution independently.

The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss maturity program and gymnasium or French programs are done by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools.
Special program for Matura and Terminales.
As well as for (students in international and European Schools in English, they can have support in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology).
For the start of the academic year in Switzerland, support courses for EPSU and ECUS exams.
For the first university year, support courses in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.
Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

Hello,

I am currently a joint Master's student in Cybersecurity between EPFL and ETH Zurich. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at EPFL with an excellent grade and can offer tutoring in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science. My schedule is flexible on weekends and weekdays, and I am available every day during the holidays. I have achieved excellent grades in these subjects and have extensive experience as a tutor, having worked with several students.

My goal is to strengthen your foundation in your desired areas, provide you with the tools you need to succeed, and teach you how to use them effectively to fill in your gaps and build your confidence. I am also patient and attentive, so I can best support you in your progress.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Third-year computer science student offers homework help/refresher courses for science subjects (Mathematics, computer science, biology, physics, chemistry).

My approach is to first understand the student's prior knowledge and solidify the foundations before moving on to more complex concepts.

I can give homework or not, I adapt to the situation and the needs of each student.

The world of mathematics is abstract and demanding. To navigate it, creating logical connections between the concepts studied becomes essential. From algebraic manipulation to linear algebra, this support aims to help students reconnect with mathematics by giving them the necessary tools to find their own way. In this way, long-term academic success becomes possible.

Having graduated with a high school diploma specializing in Mathematics and Physics, receiving an award for excellence as well as an award for advanced mathematics, and currently pursuing further studies in mathematics at EPFL, I will leverage my years of experience in academic support to achieve my goal: to show students that mathematics can be enjoyable when studied effectively. This enjoyment will be the cornerstone of their academic success.

Mathematics, physics, English, and French can seem difficult without the right foundation or method. With extensive experience working with students of all ages, from young children to high school and university students, I have designed my lessons as a personalized support system, adapted to each student's level and pace.
You will solidify your foundational knowledge, fill in any gaps, better understand challenging concepts, and gain confidence and independence when tackling exercises and exams. My goal is to make each subject accessible by adapting to each student's learning style.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

💻 Videoconference courses, from the orientation cycle to the final year of high school.

There's a phrase I hear in almost every first session: "In class I understand, but when I'm faced with the worksheet I don't know where to start."

It's not a question of academic level. It's that no one has ever taught students to recognize the type of problem they're facing. One function exercise looks like another, but the method isn't the same—and until this sorting happens automatically, each exercise starts from scratch. This sorting is what I work on first, even before reviewing the lesson.

🎓 I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics) and have been tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I have worked with numerous students in the Swiss system, as well as in French, Belgian, and international programs.

📚 What I cover, canton by canton

The vocabulary varies from one canton to another, so let's be precise:

✏Geneva and Fribourg — orientation cycle (grades 9 to 11 HarmoS), preparation for entry into secondary school, then the four years of secondary school up to graduation
✏Vaud — pre-gymnasium and general tracks, preparation for the ECR exams, transition to gymnasium, then the three years of gymnasium
✏Neuchâtel — cycle 3, then high school
✏Valais — orientation cycle, then college
Preparation for the Matura exam, all specific options

🔍 How I work

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly aimed at assessing the level of the student in order to identify the shortcomings observed.

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

3️⃣ We make sure to stay in regular contact with the student's class teacher to monitor 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.

✨ Why this profession

My favorite moment is when a student starts explaining their approach aloud without me having asked anything. It means they're no longer trying to guess what I expect—they're thinking. The rest always follows.
