Academic support in science subjects and/or language learning (English and Spanish)

From 23.36 £ /h

I learned Spanish at the age of 7 by living in Costa Rica for 5 years, then I learned English at 12 by living in Canada for 4 years and I was able to strengthen my Spanish by living in Spain for 3 years.
I am comfortable with English, both written and spoken; I have obtained a SIELE C1 certification!
Spanish is more of a native language for me than a language I learned at school, so I can offer more in terms of spoken language and everyday help!

Regarding scientific subjects, I obtained my scientific baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

About Me

I deeply enjoy helping children and growing alongside them. Being around them comes naturally to me, and I always approach everything I do with kindness and dedication.
I have held my BAFA qualification for 3 years and every summer I work in summer camps, which has allowed me to gain solid experience with children of various ages. I have also done babysitting, both occasionally and regularly.

When I was younger, I found literature subjects easier, and I sometimes received private tutoring. This experience allows me today to understand very well what it feels like to be in a child's shoes, with their doubts, difficulties, and specific needs.

Being shy by nature when I was younger, I myself experienced some difficult situations, and my goal today is to avoid this at all costs with your children, by offering them a reassuring, respectful and encouraging environment.

Education

My educational background is atypical and very diverse: I studied at the CNED (a distance learning program), then at a local school in Costa Rica, followed by an English-language school in Quebec, before attending a French high school in Spain. There, I earned a scientific baccalaureate with the European section option, as I love English. When I was younger, I also participated in English-language camps, which further improved my fluency. I am currently pursuing my studies at EPFL.

Experience / Qualifications

My approach is based on listening, patience and adapting to each child, in order to help them progress with confidence and serenity.

Hello,

A former student of EPFL (Bachelor of Life Sciences) and HEC Lausanne (Master of Management), I offer courses at primary and secondary level to best prepare you for the maturity exam or the baccalaureate.

Depending on your location, I can give online lessons, via zoom. Thanks to the feedback from several students, I was able to develop online learning methods that are as effective as in person.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a researcher in nuclear fusion at EPFL, after a PhD at EPFL, a masters at ETH in Zurich and a bachelors in Freiburg, I got quite proficient in maths and physics as well as teaching. I gave lessons to all ages from highschool to university level. Fluent (worked in) in French, English German, Spanish and Italian.

Experienced and qualified teacher gives Spanish lessons at all levels. Experience in gymnasium and bilingual education and in the training of adults and children.

Passionate about the Spanish language and culture, I offer lessons to share this pleasure. Having experience in secondary and post-compulsory education, including bilingual education, I give academic support and exam preparation courses (maturity, language exams). I also offer private lessons for those who want to master Spanish for personal reasons (learning for fun, to get by better when traveling or to be able to communicate with friends or family members ...) or who want improve their level for professional purposes. Besides, I also like to work with children. In Switzerland, I have noticed that there is a strong demand for learning Spanish among "half Spanish speaking" families. These very specific linguistic situations interest me a lot and I invest in them with pleasure.
I like to work with various activities to find the methods that correspond to my students and to develop the different skills (communication, comprehension and writing). I organize my courses so that my students can have solid and structured knowledge. I love fun activities and exercises that impart knowledge of Hispanic culture.

As a master's student at EPFL, I offer support courses to share my experience in mathematics, physics and biology. Whether at the secondary, gymnasium or university level, the sessions revolve around the resolution of exercises and the resumption of basic theory in order to understand the key concepts. These courses can be adapted with a view to preparing for one or more exams in particular. I can also provide help in organization and working methods.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your specific needs and establish a tailor-made program that will perfectly match your learning objectives.

Looking forward to working with you,

Alexandrine

I am a second-year master's student at EPFL, in biology. I offer support courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. The course offers a possibility of help for students having difficulties in the proposed courses. The student will find a framework where he can ask these questions, discuss methodologies and improve. Putting my knowledge at the service of other people is a plus that I like to share.

I am at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Third-year physics student at EPFL Lausanne.

The courses are aimed in particular at university students, but also at secondary school students. For those attending EPFL, I can give classes in person. Otherwise, I am also available for online courses. The topics and course delivery are agreed with the students according to their specific needs. They can include both theoretical explanations and the carrying out of practical exercises.

From my own experience, I have found that everyone can understand the most complex concepts, you just need to adopt the right approach and teaching method, which varies from person to person. As it is not always possible to make this important distinction in general courses, my intention is to provide those who need it with help in catching up with the program by filling in gaps and/or doubts. I do not favor a mnemonic approach, but rather a deep understanding of the subject.

As a third-year Life Sciences student at EPFL, I offer math and physics-chemistry courses for students up to high school level. I earned a science baccalaureate with a specialization in mathematics and physics-chemistry, and have been giving private lessons for several years. My goal is to help each student progress methodically and confidently, in a caring environment adapted to their pace.

During the lessons, we focus on understanding key concepts, applying them through targeted exercises, and developing lasting autonomy in scientific subjects.

Mathematical and physical concepts are often difficult to grasp immediately in class or on your own at home. That's why I offer this course as a complement to the courses given at school, at the gymnasium, or in the first year of university. The goal is to give these concepts a little more time to better understand them by having the opportunity to ask any questions that arise.

I am a PhD student at EPFL, and I have been teaching mathematics and physics/chemistry for several years now. I was accepted to MIT, the best school in the world, and I was also accepted to Oxford and Cambridge.

Often students learn, but do not know the correct techniques to apply to exercises; I will show the student how to properly understand and solve the exercises.

I'm a student at HEC Lausanne and I love working with children. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always take the time to build a trusting relationship with them. I speak French and English fluently, which also allows me to help with homework in both languages. I can babysit, accompany children on school trips, and offer quiet or fun activities depending on their needs. My main goal is for children to feel safe, listened to, and to have a good time.
