Maths — orientation cycle and maturity — preparation for high school,
From 42 £ /h
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
💻 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. An initial exchange of approximately 20 to 30 minutes maximum will be free: I prefer to understand the situation before proposing anything.

About Me
Mathematics teacher, holding a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics). I have been tutoring students for 5 years, from middle school to the first year of university.
I work with the French (AEFE and Mission laïque), Belgian, Swiss, American, and International Baccalaureate programs. Each system has its expectations, exam format, and grading methods — a student only truly progresses if they work within their own system, using their textbooks and deadlines.
My approach: I begin by precisely identifying the source of the difficulty, often from one or two years prior, then I establish a detailed, quantified work plan. We rebuild the missing foundational skills before practicing exam-style exercises. Parents receive a monthly progress report.
Online lessons with a shared whiteboard: all written explanations during the session are saved on a whiteboard that students can access at any time, download, or print if they wish. I teach in French and English, and I adapt to the time zones of Europe, the Gulf, and Asia.

Videoconference classes for students in grades 6, 5, 4 and 3 of the French program, both in France and in the network of French schools abroad.
In middle school, difficulties in math rarely stem from the current chapter. They almost always originate from a foundation established two or three years earlier: fractions, proportionality, algebraic expressions. As long as these concepts aren't revisited, each new chapter exacerbates the situation. My work begins by identifying this missing foundation.
Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics), more than five years of private tutoring for students in the AEFE and Mission laïque networks, in both public and private institutions.
What we are working on
Numbers, fractions, algebraic expressions, equations
Proportionality, percentages, statistics
Plane geometry, theorems of Thales and Pythagoras, transformations
Preparation for the patent
Working method: read a problem statement, choose an approach, check a result
The process
Initial assessment during the first sessions, a catch-up plan, followed by a regular weekly schedule. I align with the classroom teacher's approach and provide exercises between sessions. A monthly written progress report is available for parents who wish to receive it.
I also offer pre-start preparation sessions, to get a head start on the year rather than being late.

Videoconference preparation for the Swiss supplementary examination (ECUS) and first-year mathematics at EPFL.
The ECUS is not a school exam. It's an entrance exam, with a specific syllabus, a set format, and a time constraint that eliminates perfectly competent candidates. Preparation, therefore, doesn't consist of reviewing course material, but of rebuilding a foundation and practicing in the actual exam format.
Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics), more than five years of private tutoring, including mentoring foreign students preparing for their entry into the Swiss system.
What I cover
ECUS — comprehensive mathematics program, practice with sample exams, time management
EPFL's Special Mathematics Course (CMS)
Refresher courses before the first year of university or college: analysis, linear algebra, probability
Refresher courses for candidates who have been out of the school system for several years
Method
An initial assessment is conducted to determine the student's actual level in relation to the exam requirements, followed by a detailed study plan: number of hours needed, priority chapters, and a timeline leading up to the exam date. Each session combines targeted review of theoretical material with practice exercises in the exam format.
I work with candidates who are starting from scratch as well as with students who want to secure their first year.
