Private lessons in mathematics and physics

From 45 £ /h

I just got my PhD in Physics at the Ecole Normale in Paris (Fr), after the Master in Physics at Padua (It). I have several years of private tutoring experience for high school and university students.

I give tutoring in math and physics, whether you are looking for help to pass your exams, or just a good upgrade.

As a testimony of my attitude towards teaching, I am a candidate at the HEP (Higher Pedagogical School) of Vaud, and IUFE in Geneva, in order to become a teacher in high school.

Extra information

I speak fluently French, English and Italian (my mother tongue). The language of the course can therefore be chosen from among these.

Experienced and pedagogue, I have been giving private lessons for about 10 years. I am also a mathematics teacher, having completed a professional retraining in this field.
I gave private lessons in international establishments such as the Collège du Léman (Versoix).
I have extensive experience in scientific programs preparing for the French scientific baccalaureate, maturity or the international baccalaureate.
I also ensure the follow-up of post-baccalaureate students (first year of university, BTS, etc.).

I adapt to the needs and functioning of each student, as well as to their learning pace.

I emphasize method, helping to clarify and memorize concepts (developing mental strategies), structuring knowledge and developing deductive reasoning. I approach my classes with patience and kindness, with the aim of meeting the specific needs of each student, helping them achieve their goals and making them appreciate mathematics, where appropriate. I am a dynamic and passionate person.

I also give many online courses, especially for students preparing for the baccalaureate and maturity, as well as for adults in training with specific requests.

Do not hesitate to contact me. THANKS.

The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss Maturity and Gymnasium program or French programs are given by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools.
Special program for Maturité and Terminale students.
As well as (International and European Schools in English).
The same goes for the start of the ECUS and EPSU academic year where the pupil can follow a complete preparation.
As well as for 1st and 2nd-year university students, can take courses in Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology and Geology.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.
Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

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

[Response within the hour]. I offer math tutoring for all levels, from elementary school to university. As I'm at the University of Bern this year, I'm currently only offering lessons via Zoom. I have a touchscreen, which allows me to type in real time.

I consider that each student is different and therefore the course of the courses may vary.

But generally speaking, I like to review the lecture given by the professor, and if it doesn't seem sufficient, I bring a summary of the topic with me. This allows us to discuss the theory and ensure the concepts are well understood, as it's essential to avoid confusion before tackling exercises.
I try to provide as many visual representations as possible; I personally find that we retain and understand better when we visualize what we are doing.

Then lots of exercises.
Math and physics are subjects where it's essential to practice as much as possible to cover all scenarios and develop effective techniques. Similarly, we can review the exercises given in class, and/or I can supplement them with additional worked examples. I encourage all my students to practice as much as possible, and I remain available outside of class time to answer their questions or offer guidance.

My course begins by identifying the topics to be covered (first lesson: review of past exams/assignments, questions the student has, etc.). Then, we review any missing theory, and finally, we redo the exercises that are causing difficulty. Each subsequent lesson will start with one or two exercises from the previous session to check if the theory has been properly understood.

Mathematics: calculations, algebra, equations, geometry, trigonometry, logarithms and statistics

I offer private tutoring at home for all levels, from primary school to high school. A typical session consists of the following steps:

-Reviewing the student's course materials, with answers to any questions.
-Correction of teacher's exercises or specific exercises depending on the student's difficulties.
-Preparation for possible student assessments using formative assessments that I have developed, targeting the student's difficulties.

Everything is tailored to each student using fun and engaging methods. Learning while having fun is not impossible!

With a doctorate in astrophysics, research at CERN and the University of Geneva, I have been teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry for over ten years, from middle school to preparatory classes, as well as in preparation for the PGA at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva.

My approach is based on intuition and deep understanding. Before applying a formula, one understands what it describes. Before using a law, one visualizes the phenomenon. Behind every struggling student, there is a specific, often long-standing, gap in knowledge that has never been identified or filled. My work begins there.

The first session is used to assess the student's level, identify any gaps in knowledge, and define their objectives, without judgment. Then we rebuild together, brick by brick, ensuring that each concept is truly understood before moving on to the next. We explore the meaning behind each concept, and that's what sticks.

For online lessons, I use a graphics tablet and an interactive whiteboard on which the student can interact in real time. Everything written is shared after each session.

I teach in French, English, and Russian.

I am in my third year of secondary school, specializing in bilingual English. I am currently studying abroad in Geneva, which gives me considerable availability until June. I completed a year of language exchange in Canada, where I taught French to elementary school students at my school. I achieved a 5.4/6 average at the beginning of the academic year. I would like to help you prepare effectively for the common exams.

I am a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at EPFL, where I also work as a student assistant. I support first-year students with their problem sets and exam preparation, particularly in mathematics, physics, and computer science. I graduated from high school in 2025 with a 5.5 average and also completed the Euler Course, designed for gifted students in mathematics. I have gained solid teaching experience through the tutoring I conduct and the university-level courses I have taught during EPFL's official exam preparation weeks.

I only offer in-person lessons, generally weekly or more frequently depending on the student's needs. I can travel to their home or teach in a public library or study space. In-person lessons allow me to provide truly personalized support and adapt each session to the student's specific difficulties and goals.

I am attentive, patient, and interactive. Thanks to my young age, I generally find it easy to connect with students and understand their difficulties. I always prepare my lessons in advance to offer structured, effective sessions tailored to their needs. Therefore, it is important that students send me their notes, exercises, or homework beforehand. I also know how to be demanding when necessary to maintain a consistent work pace and promote lasting progress.

My fee includes course preparation, travel, and follow-up via message outside of sessions.
I am bilingual in French and English and can teach in both languages.

As a private mathematics tutor with over 10 years of experience, I support students from secondary school to pre-university level, including IB Mathematics AA/AI SL/HL, pre-IB and Swiss Maturity.

My approach prioritizes understanding and autonomy. Rather than rote learning, we work on grasping concepts, precisely identifying difficulties, and building solid mathematical reasoning. Lessons are tailored to each student's level, objectives, and learning style.

I can assist you with:
– consolidate the concepts seen in class and fill in the gaps;
– prepare for tests, exams and assessments;
– develop problem-solving methods and reasoning;
– improve examination technique and strategy;
– to progress towards greater confidence and autonomy in mathematics.

I obtained the International Baccalaureate in 2017 with 45/45, with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at the higher level, then went on to university studies in mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, where I obtained a Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) in Mathematics.

Courses can be delivered in person in the Geneva region or online.

My lessons begin by identifying the student's difficulties and the concepts they wish to work on. Then, we review the theory together, with simple explanations and concrete examples, before moving on to exercises and homework. I adapt to each student's pace to foster understanding and self-confidence in a relaxed, encouraging, and pressure-free environment.
