English, French or Dutch lessons for all levels

39 £ /h

I am trilingual: I was born in the Netherlands with Dutch parents, I went to English boarding school and I finished my schooling in France and I currently live in Lausanne.
I have already given French, Dutch and English lessons in Lausanne so I am experienced with this (also on Apprentus). I am able to give lessons for all levels: from beginner to very experienced. For those interested in a preparation concerning literature rather, I am also able to give lessons (I had 20/20 on my French BAC).

Dear student,

I am a chemist graduated from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). I have always been fascinated by science and now I hold a doctorate in solid-state physics from the University of Geneva.

Science subjects can help you pass exams. I have been teaching these disciplines for many years during exercise sessions held at the University as well as in private lessons given as an independent.

For this reason, you will have the possibility to ask me for explanations on any subject. It is indeed useful that you can progress on the basis of what you already know. You will of course have the choice to ask me for remedial lessons to revise or discover entire chapters. Before the first lesson starts, I will invite you to explain your situation to me freely and free of charge so that we can work effectively from the first lesson.

All scientific subjects have in common a method that is called "scientific logic". Whenever the opportunity arises, I will offer you elements of this method because it is this method that will allow you to understand durably and to solve the exercises rigorously.

Your studies are serious business, demand that you be taken seriously.

Best regards,
Julien

I offer tutoring in math (algebra, analysis, statistics), physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, fluid mechanics), chemistry, materials mechanics or programming (C, python, MATLAB).

I have extensive experience in tutoring, an activity I have been practicing for about 7 years with different students.

I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from EPFL and am currently pursuing a master's degree there. I can adapt to the student's level.

I offer academic support and homework help in science subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.). I obtained my scientific Baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

Before each lesson, I like to glance at the chapter or exercises to refresh my memory on certain theorems or formulas if necessary. This allows me to arrive prepared and explain the concepts clearly and in a structured way.

During the lesson, I guide your child step by step, taking the time to re-explain concepts, review the basics if necessary, and help them gain confidence. My goal is not just to solve the exercises, but above all to ensure they truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

Mathematics and physics form the basis of many scientific fields of study, but they can sometimes seem abstract or difficult to grasp on your own. In my courses, I guide students to help them understand the concepts in depth, progress at their own pace, and gain confidence.

Students can send me the topic of the lesson or their specific questions in advance, so that I can prepare a suitable and effective session.

I am also bilingual in Italian. Although it is not my native language, I particularly enjoy teaching it and helping beginners acquire a solid foundation. My Italian lessons are conversation-based, with supplementary grammar and conjugation exercises to ensure natural and enjoyable progress.

I mainly teach remotely, which allows for great flexibility and personalized support, wherever you are.

Having graduated with a Master's degree in physics from EPFL, specializing in astrophysics, I offer private tutoring in mathematics and physics for secondary school students, gymnasium students and students at the beginning of higher education.

I have several years of experience in teaching: assistant in mechanics and thermodynamics at EPFL, private tutoring in mathematics and physics, as well as various teaching and science outreach activities.

My method

My goal is not to make people learn formulas by heart, but to make them truly understand the concepts and reasoning behind them.

My first step is to identify the problem: a poorly understood concept, weak foundations, difficulty translating a problem into equations, or simply a lack of methodology. We then reconstruct the reasoning step by step before applying it to exercises.

The goal is for the student to gradually become capable of solving problems independently, rather than mechanically reproducing a method.

I can help with, in particular:

understanding and resuming the lesson;
exercises and homework;
consolidation of the foundations;
preparation for tests, exams, maturity or baccalaureate;
methodology and problem-solving;
refresher or advanced training.

Places:

📍 On the EPFL campus

🏠 Home delivery within a radius of approximately 7 km around Renens

Feel free to contact me, indicating your level, the subject matter, and the difficulties or objectives you wish to work on.

As a final year Bachelor of Engineering student at EPFL, I offer private lessons or support, or homework help adapted to the level and needs of each student.

I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, French, and English, primarily at the beginner to intermediate level, from elementary school to high school. Lessons can focus on understanding concepts, preparing for assessments, solving exercises, or simply regaining confidence in the subject.

I also offer support in Analysis I for higher education students, particularly to review theoretical concepts, understand methods and practice exercises.

My goal is to make concepts more accessible by adapting to each student's pace and prioritizing real understanding over rote learning.

I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, tailored to each student's level and needs. The goal is to review essential concepts and understand problem-solving methods.

The sessions are personalized and can cover exam preparation, exercise correction, in-depth exploration of certain concepts, etc. I favor a pedagogical approach using analogies or real-life situations whenever possible, taking the time to explain concepts in different ways until they are fully understood.

Je suis étudiante, donc je suis moi aussi en train d’apprendre tous les jours. Je sais ce que c’est de bloquer sur un exercice ou de ne pas comprendre une notion du premier coup. C’est pour ça que je prends le temps d’expliquer étape par étape, avec des exemples concrets, jusqu’à ce que ce soit vraiment clair.

Mais pour moi, un bon cours, ce n’est pas seulement comprendre la matière. C’est aussi retrouver de la motivation
Je donne des cours en mathématiques (jusqu’à l’Analyse I et II et l’algèbre linéaire), ainsi qu’en physique et en chimie pour tous les niveaux scolaires. On peut travailler sur les devoirs, revoir les bases, préparer un examen ou avancer sur le programme, selon vos besoins.

I know what it's like to get stuck on a problem or not understand a concept even after rereading the material several times because I've been there too. My goal isn't just to give you the answer, but to help you actually understand: whether that means prepping for an exam, working through exercises, or getting a firmer grip on the theory.

A lot of teachers explain things in overly technical or abstract ways. I prefer to break concepts down, rephrase them until they click for you with no judgment if something doesn't sink in on the first try.

I taught math for a year at Phassyl Private Education, working with students from middle school level up through maturité and first-year EPFL. I'm also happy to work with younger students if needed. I'm currently a 3rd-year Microengineering student at EPFL myself, so I know the demands of bachelor's-level coursework and the common traps that cost points on exams.

Every session is tailored to your pace and what you need at the time: reinforcing fundamentals, prepping for a test, or simply revisiting a chapter that didn't quite land the first time.

Learn the basics of French and English, or deepen your knowledge of these languages. The course aims to prepare you for quizzes and exams, and to help you learn to speak the language fluently and correctly.
The course will be interactive with games or more advanced exercises depending on the student's progress.

Based on the material covered in school, I take the time to re-explain the concepts and review the methods used in the exercises so that the student can develop their intuition. I offer this approach in mathematics as well as chemistry for all levels up to high school.

As a microtechnology student at EPFL, I tutor high school and gymnasium students in mathematics. My goal is for you to truly understand the concepts, rather than simply memorizing formulas.

The program, depending on your level, includes: calculation and algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and analysis (derivatives, limits, integrals).

Each session is tailored to your needs: catching up on the basics, help with homework, preparing for a quiz or exam, or further study.

I use progressive exercises and clear explanations, and you have time to ask all your questions. Welcome to students who want to gain confidence in math!
