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

From 23.32 £ /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

J’aime profondément aider les enfants et évoluer à leurs côtés. Être entourée d’eux est quelque chose de naturel pour moi, et je m’investis toujours avec bienveillance et sérieux dans ce que je fais.
Je suis titulaire du BAFA depuis 3 ans et, chaque été, je travaille dans des centres aérés, ce qui m’a permis d’acquérir une solide expérience avec des enfants d’âges variés. J’ai également déjà fait du baby-sitting, aussi bien ponctuel que régulier.

Lorsque j’étais plus jeune, j’avais davantage de facilités dans les matières littéraires, et il m’est arrivé de recevoir des cours particuliers. Cette expérience me permet aujourd’hui de très bien comprendre ce que l’on ressent lorsqu’on est à la place de l’enfant, avec ses doutes, ses difficultés et ses besoins spécifiques.

De nature timide lorsque j’étais plus jeune, j’ai moi-même subi certaines situations difficiles, et mon objectif est aujourd’hui d’éviter cela à tout prix avec vos enfants, en leur offrant un cadre rassurant, respectueux et encourageant.

Education

Mon parcours scolaire est atypique et très riche : j’ai étudié au CNED (école à la maison), puis dans une école locale au Costa Rica, ensuite dans une école anglophone au Québec, avant d’intégrer un lycée français en Espagne. J’y ai obtenu un baccalauréat scientifique, avec l’option section européenne, car j’adore l’anglais. Plus jeune, je participais également à des camps anglophones, ce qui a renforcé ma maîtrise de la langue. Je poursuis actuellement mes études à l’EPFL.

Experience / Qualifications

Mon approche repose sur l’écoute, la patience et l’adaptation à chaque enfant, afin de l’aider à progresser avec confiance et sérénité.

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.

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.

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.

Mathematics: Depending on your level and needs, we can review the fundamentals (calculations, fractions, equations), and delve deeper into more advanced concepts such as analysis (derivatives, integrals, sequences) or linear algebra (matrices, vector spaces). The goal is to progress effectively, whether to consolidate knowledge or prepare for exams. Physics: From school level to higher education, I can support you in the different branches of physics taught in class: mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, optics, waves, etc. Specially skilled in mechanics, I can also delve deeper into this subject for students who need it. Courses are adapted to each student according to their level and objectives. Whether for regular monitoring, exam preparation, or one-off support, I adapt to your pace. Courses available online or in person on the EPFL campus if possible.

I am here to help you with homework or class exercises that you struggled with, and review the course if necessary, as well as teach techniques to facilitate understanding and resolution. With my experience as a student assistant at EPFL, I can help you find your own blockage and I correct you if there is something that is not right at this level. If you get stuck, I ask you questions to guide you towards the solution without telling you directly. If that is not enough, we do the exercise together in a guided way in the hope that you will be able to solve an exercise of the same type alone in the future. I can also find interesting exercises based on your gaps. All students up to and including a university bachelor's level are welcome. Classes are held online via Zoom or in person. I use screen sharing in the case of Zoom, and I can show you my personal type of resolution.

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 offer tutoring in math (algebra, analysis, statistics), physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, fluid mechanics), chemistry, materials mechanics or programming (C, python, MATLAB).

I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from EPFL and am currently pursuing a master's degree there. I can adapt to the student's level. The price can be reduced by tutoring several students (maximum 3) in the same subject.
