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.

Support courses for students wishing to improve or deepen their knowledge in mathematics or statistics, in order to succeed in their post-compulsory, university or HES studies.

Typical session structure:
- Correction and analysis of the exercises provided as a supplement, with clarification of any points that remained unclear.
- Discussion and explanation of the concepts studied during the week, in order to ensure a solid and lasting understanding.
- Step-by-step assistance in completing the mandatory exercises.

The service also includes:
- Personalized preparation based on the student's progress in their program.
- The creation of targeted additional exercises to consolidate key concepts and promote effective progress.

To ensure optimal support, students are encouraged to communicate outside of class hours (via messages or video conferencing) to ask questions, share their difficulties, and indicate the concepts they wish to explore further in the following session.

I offer academic support and homework help in science subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.). I obtained my scientific Baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

Before each lesson, I like to glance at the chapter or exercises to refresh my memory on certain theorems or formulas if necessary. This allows me to arrive prepared and explain the concepts clearly and in a structured way.

During the lesson, I guide your child step by step, taking the time to re-explain concepts, review the basics if necessary, and help them gain confidence. My goal is not just to solve the exercises, but above all to ensure they truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

Hello everyone, I'm currently a third-year Mechanical Engineering student at EPFL and I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. With me, you'll learn to refine your skills or correct any weaknesses while improving your overall knowledge. I focus primarily on practical exercises and their thorough solutions. I look forward to meeting you.

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.

I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, tailored to each student's level and needs. The goal is to review essential concepts and understand problem-solving methods.

The sessions are personalized and can cover exam preparation, exercise correction, in-depth exploration of certain concepts, etc. I favor a pedagogical approach using analogies or real-life situations whenever possible, taking the time to explain concepts in different ways until they are fully understood.

I have a strong academic foundation in mathematics up to and including Calculus I and II. I also have solid knowledge in physics and chemistry at school level across all grades. With my specialization in chemistry, I have a particularly strong understanding of this subject. As I am currently a student myself, I am very familiar with the learning process and the challenges students face, which helps me explain concepts clearly and in a structured way.

Hi! My name is Losel, I'm an IB graduate who scored 7 in both Math AA HL and Physics HL. I've just graduated magna cum laude with a double bachelor in mathematics and physics from École Polytechnique (Paris) and am now doing a master's in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL.

I offer one-on-one online tutoring, with an iPad and camera setup so we can work through problems together in real time, just like in person. I can help with:

Concepts: Going through your lectures and building intuition, clearing up the hard concepts.

Exercises and past papers: Understanding the exercises (best way to get a good grade btw), as well as exam strategy and how to solve problems faster.

IA and EE: choosing a strong topic, structuring the paper, and refining drafts.

University applications: personal statements, choosing programs, mock technical interviews, and how to maximize your chances to get into a top uni.

I've been through the IB myself, so I know where it gets tough and how to succeed through it. No two students need the same thing, so we'll set clear goals together and work toward them at your pace.

I teach in English, but I also have a C1 in French, so we can mix. I also speak Portuguese and Danish fluently.

I am a Master's student in Electronic Engineering offering Math, Physics and Computer Science lessons, in English or Italian. Over the past 7 years, I have tutored about 40 middle and high school students, helping them recover from bad grades and excel in their studies.

My strength lies in simplifying complex scientific concepts: rather than asking students to memorize formulas, I guide them to understand the underlying logic, so they can solve new problems on their own. I am very patient and adapt to each student's learning pace to make them fully independent.

I believe in building a relationship of trust and empathy, creating a relaxed environment where students never feel anxious about asking questions or making mistakes.

Lessons in person around Pully / Lausanne or online via webcam.

As a former Bachelor's student at EPFL, I am passionate about the exact sciences and pedagogy. With a strong background in mathematics and physics, I help students of all levels (from primary to higher education/university level, including middle and high school) to overcome their difficulties and succeed in their exams.

My method is based on clarity, patience and efficiency: understanding theory through practice, quickly identifying blockages and mastering the resolution of typical exam exercises.

Available and flexible, I offer personalized and dynamic support to restore students' confidence and teach them good working methods.

Hello,

As a student at EPFL in Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering after having validated the scientific preparatory year (CMS) with excellent results, I offer support courses and tutoring in Mathematics and Physics.

I support secondary school students (9S to 11S / VP-VG) as well as high school students (Vaud or federal Maturity) to fill their gaps, consolidate their foundations and aim for the best grades.

My educational approach:
• Clear and intuitive explanation of theoretical concepts to avoid simple "rote learning".
• Targeted training based on progressive exercise series and sample exams.
• Transmission of effective working methods, organizational tips and rigorous writing skills.
• A caring, patient teaching approach adapted to the pace of each student.

Details and locations:
• Home visits possible (Lausanne, Renens, Morges and surrounding areas).
• Courses are also available on the EPFL campus or remotely via videoconference.

Available on weekdays (late afternoons/evenings) and weekends.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your child's needs!
