Are you looking to prepare for entrance to EPFL, strengthen your foundations in mathematics or physics, acquire effective study methods, or calmly prepare for your exams? I offer personalized support to help you assimilate concepts in depth and adopt effective problem-solving methods.

I primarily work with two types of clients:
- 1st and 2nd year students at EPFL, or in CMS (analysis, linear algebra, mechanics, thermodynamics, etc.).
- Motivated high school students wishing to prepare for their baccalaureate or entry into a demanding scientific field.

I am currently in my first year of a Master's degree in physics at EPFL, after having completed my Bachelor's degree there. Before coming to Switzerland, I attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris (graduating with highest honors).
I have been giving private lessons for 5 years. This experience has allowed me to fully understand the academic requirements (especially those of EPFL) and to adapt quickly to the specific difficulties of each student.

Feel free to contact me to explain your needs, whether it's for occasional help or regular follow-up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

💻 Videoconference courses, from the orientation cycle to the final year of high school.

There's a phrase I hear in almost every first session: "In class I understand, but when I'm faced with the worksheet I don't know where to start."

It's not a question of academic level. It's that no one has ever taught students to recognize the type of problem they're facing. One function exercise looks like another, but the method isn't the same—and until this sorting happens automatically, each exercise starts from scratch. This sorting is what I work on first, even before reviewing the lesson.

🎓 I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics) and have been tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I have worked with numerous students in the Swiss system, as well as in French, Belgian, and international programs.

📚 What I cover, canton by canton

The vocabulary varies from one canton to another, so let's be precise:

✏Geneva and Fribourg — orientation cycle (grades 9 to 11 HarmoS), preparation for entry into secondary school, then the four years of secondary school up to graduation
✏Vaud — pre-gymnasium and general tracks, preparation for the ECR exams, transition to gymnasium, then the three years of gymnasium
✏Neuchâtel — cycle 3, then high school
✏Valais — orientation cycle, then college
Preparation for the Matura exam, all specific options

🔍 How I work

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly aimed at assessing the level of the student in order to identify the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work needed, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay in regular contact with the student's class teacher to monitor their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

✨ Why this profession

My favorite moment is when a student starts explaining their approach aloud without me having asked anything. It means they're no longer trying to guess what I expect—they're thinking. The rest always follows.

🗣️ Lessons in French or English. Response within the day.
