About Me

A graduate in Civil Engineering (Polytech), I offer private tutoring in Mathematics and Physics for all secondary school levels. My academic background has allowed me to acquire a thorough mastery of science, but above all, a rigorous work methodology that I pass on to my students.

My teaching method is based on an intuitive understanding of concepts: I like to simplify complex theories to make them concrete and logical. Whether it's for a refresher course, regular support, or exam preparation (CE1D, CESS, end-of-year exams), I adapt each session to the student's pace and specific needs.

My goal is twofold: to improve academic performance and restore confidence in science subjects. I am patient, attentive, and available to answer questions between lessons if needed.

Education

Passionate about science and a graduate in Mechanical Engineering, I offer personalized tutoring in mathematics and physics for high school students. My goal is to impart not only technical knowledge, but above all, a rigorous and effective work methodology, typical of engineering studies.

My teaching approach is direct: identifying specific obstacles and transforming them into automatic responses. I prioritize intuitive and logical understanding over rote learning. Patient and attentive, I adapt each session to the student's pace, whether it's to fill in gaps in knowledge, provide regular support, or prepare for important exams.

With several years of experience in private tutoring, I have helped many students regain confidence in their abilities and significantly improve their academic results.

My private lessons are individual in order to be able to support the student as much as possible. The sessions are adapted to the student's problems in order to fill his gaps.
I am not the kind of teacher who swallows material by heart without trying to understand its real meaning. Usually, this is essentially a methodological job.
I can teach in:
- Chemistry (general and organic), secondary and higher level (high school / university);
- Physics, secondary level;
- Biology, secondary level.

The success of students and students in science, as well as the development of their potential, is important to me. Subjects considered difficult, such as mathematics and physics, are accessible to all with determination and perseverance. I attach great importance to sharing my knowledge in these areas with others, especially high school students. Placing the student at the center of my concerns, the support I offer is in harmony with the teachers.

With 10 years of experience as an engineer, I worked in risk studies of industrial systems within large automotive and railway groups. My skills also extend to life coaching, and I am a certified master practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I am bilingual in French and English.

With 5 years of experience as a math and physics teacher, I also offer distance learning courses via the Google Meet application, given the current context. Do not hesitate to contact me for more details.

A highly experienced Franco-Belgian teacher (ook in het nederlands!) offers private lessons in mathematics (including finance), probability and statistics, as well as physics, chemistry, and biology for secondary and higher education levels. For physics, chemistry, and biology, the instruction is tailored to the secondary level, specifically up to the 5th year of secondary education in Belgium.

Whether you prefer lessons at your place, my place, or remotely, I am flexible to accommodate your needs. If necessary, I can travel to your home in Brussels, Walloon and Flemish Brabant, with a minimum duration of 2 hours per session. The lessons are designed to provide extensive practice with numerous exercises. Distance learning options are also available through platforms such as Skype, Facebook, etc. Please note that for students in France, only distance learning courses are provided.

In mathematics, I specialize in various topics and frequently provide lessons covering the entire secondary school curriculum, including math 6 and higher. These topics encompass factorization, equations of the 1st and 2nd degree (with in-depth study of parabolas), limits, derivatives, integrals, exponentials and logarithms, as well as trigonometry. Additionally, I am occasionally called upon to teach analytical geometry in space, including equations of lines and planes.

For statistics and probabilities, I provide instruction in descriptive and inferential statistics (univariate and bivariate), covering confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, applicable to secondary and higher education levels.

Feel free to reach out to me to discuss and arrange the lessons based on your specific needs and availability. My aim is to help you enhance your skills effectively and provide personalized instruction. By tailoring the lessons to your requirements, we can ensure rapid progress in your studies.

Math teacher gives private lessons in math-statistics and probability.

My teaching has already proven itself with several students that I have already followed and that I continue to follow. It consists of short-term help in overcoming the difficulties of a project or of certain chapters, just as it also consists of continuous monitoring to give students the means to play a role in their successes. The main goal is not to learn selfishly, but to teach the student how to manage his time and his way of working: these points are very important for success in these studies continuously.
my course is for students:

> Secondary: I offer a lesson to the students + the exercises
> Central jury: I offer a course to students, work on exams from previous years
> Entrance exam of medicine and polytechnic .: I offer a course support to students, cards, summaries, qcm.
> Higher education students: statistics and probability: descriptive statistics, probability, inferential statistics (binomial, normal, Poisson, sampling-estimation, confidence intervals, statistical tests (hypotheses) chi-square test, Anova.etc).

The theory is presented simply and effectively, getting straight to the point. I start from scratch and re-explain the material necessary for understanding. The exercises are based on the student's coursework and implemented progressively. Different types of exercises are covered, with varying levels of complexity.

For specialized courses, I prefer to know the material (chapter name) before the class so that I can best prepare for the session.

Training:
After my secondary education at Collège Notre Dame de Bonne-Espérance, where I won the mathematics prize, I began studying industrial engineering at HELHa in Mons. After my bachelor's degree, I decided to specialize with a Master's degree in biochemistry, during which I also pursued training in Data Center Engineering.
During my studies, I completed a short Erasmus exchange in Spain, which confirmed my desire to continue in research.
That is why I will begin a doctoral thesis in 2024 at the University of Mons, within the Proteomics and Microbiology department of the BioSciences Institute. The research project is funded by the FNRS (National Fund for Scientific Research), after obtaining a FRIA grant.

Welcome to my profile.
I am an experienced mathematics and science teacher with over seven years of experience helping students strengthen their understanding, improve their results and become more confident, independent learners.
My lessons are designed for students and families who value high-quality, well-prepared and personalised teaching. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all course, I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, objectives, school programme and learning style.
I teach students who need to rebuild essential foundations as well as those working on advanced topics, examinations or demanding international programmes such as the European Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate, as well as, the various Belgian programs.

◆ MY TEACHING APPROACH ◆

• • Initial assessment • •
We begin by identifying the student’s current level, strengths, difficulties and academic objectives.

• • Personalised lesson planning • •
Each student receives a structured learning approach based on their specific needs, curriculum and pace of progress.

• • Clear and accessible explanations • •
Complex concepts are broken down into logical, manageable steps, with visual representations and carefully selected examples.

• • Active problem-solving • •
Students are encouraged to think, explain their reasoning and develop reliable methods for approaching unfamiliar questions.

• • Targeted practice • •
Exercises are selected to address specific weaknesses, consolidate knowledge and prepare effectively for tests and examinations.

• • Regular review and feedback • •
Previously studied material is revisited when necessary, and clear feedback is provided to help the student understand what has improved and what still requires attention.

◆ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ◆

Professionalism and reliability are central to my work:
• • Lessons prepared in advance and tailored to the student
• • Punctual and well-structured sessions
• • Patient, respectful and focused teaching
• • Clear explanations without unnecessary complication
• • Constructive and timely feedback
• • Adaptation based on the student’s progress
• • A serious learning environment that remains supportive and encouraging

My objective is not simply to help students complete exercises. I aim to help them understand the underlying concepts, develop stronger reasoning skills and gain the confidence required to work more independently.

Mathematics and science can appear difficult when important foundations are missing or when explanations are poorly adapted to the learner. With the right structure, guidance and practice, these subjects become far more logical, accessible and rewarding.

This mathematics course is aimed at students in lower or upper secondary education who wish to strengthen their basic skills, fill in gaps or effectively prepare for an exam.

We will work together on understanding key concepts (arithmetic, geometry, algebra, functions, etc.) through clear explanations, progressive exercises and a method adapted to the pace of each student.

The goal is to restore confidence, develop logic and reasoning skills, and make mathematics more accessible and concrete.

This course is also suitable for students in scientific, technical or linguistic fields who need regular or occasional support.

Are you taking a mathematics exam in the second session?
I offer intensive support to review the basics, target important chapters and practice effectively on typical exercises.

I support higher education students, particularly at university, college and Solvay/ULB, to understand important concepts, redo practical exercises and practice on typical exam exercises.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the logic behind the methods, know when to use each formula, recognize the correct reasoning in a statement and gain autonomy when facing exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Limits and continuity:
Calculation of limits, indeterminate forms, left-hand and right-hand limits, limits at infinity, horizontal, vertical and oblique asymptotes, continuity and behavior of a function.

• Derivatives and function analysis:
rules of differentiation, derivative of a composite, logarithmic derivative, increasing/decreasing, extrema, convexity/concavity, inflection points, variation tables and complete graphical representation.

• Optimization:
maximum/minimum problems, economic optimization, cost functions, revenue, profit, elasticity, choice of method and interpretation of results.

• Functions with several variables:
partial derivatives, gradient, differentials, two-variable optimization, local extrema, Hessian matrix, first-order conditions and economic interpretation according to your course.

• Constrained optimization:
Lagrange method, budget constraint, utility maximization, cost minimization, Lagrange multipliers and interpretation of results.

• Linear algebra:
vectors, matrices, matrix operations, determinants, inverse matrices, rank of a matrix, systems of linear equations, Gauss's method and solving systems.

• Sequels and series:
arithmetic and geometric sequences, limits of sequences, convergence, sums, simple series and economic or financial applications according to your program.

• Integrals:
antiderivatives, definite integrals, area under a curve, simple calculation methods, graphical interpretation and applications.

• Financial mathematics:
Simple and compound interest, capitalization, discounting, present value, future value, annuities, monthly payments, equivalent rate, effective rate, loans, repayments, NPV, IRR and basic financial applications.

• Exam preparation:
reading statements, choosing the right method, identifying the formulas to use, typical exercises, past exams, guided corrections and problem-solving methods.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis, financial models and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.
