About Me

After my MSc in Physics at ETH Zurich I've been working as a physicist in a couple of companies, and I've done a PhD at EPFL in physics (finished in 2022) and am working as a data Scientist now. I've been teaching for over 15 years, and have extensive experience for all ages and levels.

I love teaching and I do this for the pleasure of it. Since finishing my phd and starting working I only take one student at the time due to time constraints in order to be able to dedicate properly to the teaching. I prefer long term commitments to be able to build a rapport and understand the student and his/her needs thoroughly, but I might be available for shorter terms too.

I am fluent in French, Italian, German, and Spanish

Dear Parents,

You have come here seeking help for your child, and you have made the right decision. Public schools play a crucial role in our education, but sometimes they lack the necessary resources to cater to each student individually.

I, too, experienced a challenging academic journey for this very reason. My struggles were not greater than those of others, but the rigid schedule limited my ability to fully flourish. Fortunately, with the support of my parents, I had the opportunity to attend a private school and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a chemist.

I am now a chemist who holds a degree from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), and on April 11, 2019, I successfully defended a doctoral thesis in experimental physics at the University of Geneva (UNIGE).

However, all this knowledge is only valuable if it can be effectively communicated. As you know, communication is an essential aspect of teaching. There are teachers who can be uninteresting, and then there are others whose passion is contagious. I have often observed that teachers who manage to ignite their students' interest take the time to provide context for what they teach. This approach often sparks curiosity in students, leading them to engage willingly.

Your child's studies are a serious matter, you are right to look for solutions.

Best regards,
Julien

As a Master of Data Science student at EPFL, mathematics is an important part of my academic curriculum. During my studies, I had the opportunity to act as a student assistant at EPFL in various courses in the Computer Science section.
These experiences allowed me to develop a teaching spirit. I really enjoy passing on my knowledge and helping students develop their reasoning skills.

My goal is to make people love mathematics, offer an intuitive understanding of the topics covered in order to guide students towards better results and greater autonomy.

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.

Mathematics and physics form the basis of many scientific fields of study, but they can sometimes seem abstract or difficult to grasp on your own. In my courses, I guide students to help them understand the concepts in depth, progress at their own pace, and gain confidence.

Students can send me the topic of the lesson or their specific questions in advance, so that I can prepare a suitable and effective session.

I am also bilingual in Italian. Although it is not my native language, I particularly enjoy teaching it and helping beginners acquire a solid foundation. My Italian lessons are conversation-based, with supplementary grammar and conjugation exercises to ensure natural and enjoyable progress.

I mainly teach remotely, which allows for great flexibility and personalized support, wherever you are.

As a final year Bachelor of Engineering student at EPFL, I offer private lessons or support, or homework help adapted to the level and needs of each student.

I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, French, and English, primarily at the beginner to intermediate level, from elementary school to high school. Lessons can focus on understanding concepts, preparing for assessments, solving exercises, or simply regaining confidence in the subject.

I also offer support in Analysis I for higher education students, particularly to review theoretical concepts, understand methods and practice exercises.

My goal is to make concepts more accessible by adapting to each student's pace and prioritizing real understanding over rote learning.

Je suis étudiante, donc je suis moi aussi en train d’apprendre tous les jours. Je sais ce que c’est de bloquer sur un exercice ou de ne pas comprendre une notion du premier coup. C’est pour ça que je prends le temps d’expliquer étape par étape, avec des exemples concrets, jusqu’à ce que ce soit vraiment clair.

Mais pour moi, un bon cours, ce n’est pas seulement comprendre la matière. C’est aussi retrouver de la motivation
Je donne des cours en mathématiques (jusqu’à l’Analyse I et II et l’algèbre linéaire), ainsi qu’en physique et en chimie pour tous les niveaux scolaires. On peut travailler sur les devoirs, revoir les bases, préparer un examen ou avancer sur le programme, selon vos besoins.

Learn the basics of French and English, or deepen your knowledge of these languages. The course aims to prepare you for quizzes and exams, and to help you learn to speak the language fluently and correctly.
The course will be interactive with games or more advanced exercises depending on the student's progress.

As a Bachelor of Mathematics student at EPFL, having received the Jury's Congratulations in the baccalaureate with 20/20 in maths, I offer math support lessons adapted to your level and pace.

At the beginning of each session, we review what is blocking progress, we work on the concepts during the lesson, and you leave with exercises to practice between sessions.

I have already helped about ten students following the French curriculum.

Passionate about sharing knowledge, I offer personalized tutoring in science to help each student unlock their potential. My approach is based on a crucial balance: kindness and high expectations. I understand how intimidating or discouraging some subjects can seem; that's why I take the time to create a warm and reassuring learning environment where patience is valued and no question is silly. But kindness goes hand in hand with clear objectives: we're here to work effectively and achieve real results. During our sessions, we don't just recite the material; we unlock the logic of the concepts, develop a rigorous methodology, and practice with targeted exercises. Whether it's to fill in gaps in knowledge, boost confidence, improve grades, or strive for exam excellence, I tailor each lesson to the student's specific needs to help them progress at their own pace. Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your goals and schedule an initial session together!

As a microtechnology student at EPFL, I tutor high school and gymnasium students in mathematics. My goal is for you to truly understand the concepts, rather than simply memorizing formulas.

The program, depending on your level, includes: calculation and algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and analysis (derivatives, limits, integrals).

Each session is tailored to your needs: catching up on the basics, help with homework, preparing for a quiz or exam, or further study.

I use progressive exercises and clear explanations, and you have time to ask all your questions. Welcome to students who want to gain confidence in math!
