Hello,

I graduated from EPFL (Lausanne) in chemistry and molecular biology, and I have been teaching chemistry at university level for several years.

I offer tutoring in general chemistry and organic chemistry for university students, particularly in medicine, biology, pharmacy and geosciences.

With several years of experience in academic support, I adapt my teaching method to the needs of each student in order to help them consolidate their knowledge, fill their gaps and succeed in their exams.

As a patient and attentive teacher, I strive to make even the most complex concepts clear and accessible.

Feel free to contact me for any further information or to arrange a first lesson.

Regards,
Bilal

🌟 Patient and passionate, I have solid experience with the EHL and HEIG-VD programs in business economics.

I myself taught mathematics in AP and Bosc 1 📚, also the business economics mathematics program of HEIG-VD (1st and 2nd years) for more than 10 years, following the book by Jean-Pierre Favre.

My approach:
👤 Personal coach: I work on your exercises, the ones that actually appear on the exam
😌 Anxiety relief: I'm demystifying math, point by point
💡 Lasting breakthrough: I help you understand the logic, not just memorize it

And it works. Many students who initially feared math end up appreciating it, sometimes even loving it. Mathematics is like a little story. It's not just a series of letters, numbers, and symbols. I'll tell you this story using everyday language, without unnecessary jargon.

And what about another really cheap solution?
🎯 I offer self-learning, a program adapted to the real requirements of economic sectors, those you will encounter from the first weeks, at different pricing conditions, without any competition.

Why trust me?
As a mother of four student children (aged 18 to 24) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, I fully understand the challenges and pressures.

✅ I coach you on your specific exercises, not on generic problems. This isn't a general math lesson. You decide the list of exercises to complete during the two-hour session. This way, you're best prepared for the types of questions your teacher might ask.

Terms:
📍 In-person: for concrete explanations and direct exchanges
💻 Online: from the comfort of your home, same efficiency
📅 Hours: Monday to Sunday. Contact me to arrange a time that suits your schedule.

Proper preparation is always cheaper than repeating a year 💰.

📩 Book your first session now, places are limited, especially with exams approaching.

💻 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.

Courses tailored to the student's needs and expectations, in order to create the best conditions for constant improvement and development.

The learning method is based on understanding, transparency, and a good balance between theory and practice.

Simone

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.
