About Me

🔬 Simpler science, concrete progress, and renewed confidence!

With a PhD in chemical engineering from EPFL, I offer private lessons in science, from primary school to university: mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering sciences.

Having worked with over 40 students, I have developed extensive teaching experience and learned to adapt my approach to each student, their level, personality, and learning style. Because every child is different, I take the time to understand their difficulties in order to offer them personalized, supportive, and effective guidance.

My method is based on three principles:

- Understand before learning: make complex concepts accessible through clear explanations and concrete examples.
- Adapt to each student: adjust the pace, explanations and exercises according to their needs and progress.
- Gain confidence and autonomy: encourage reflection, value progress and give everyone the tools to succeed on their own.

Whether it's to consolidate the basics, overcome difficulties, improve grades, prepare for an exam or deepen university concepts, I offer support tailored to each individual's objectives.

My goal: for each student to progress at their own pace, regain confidence in their abilities and discover that they can succeed in science!

Education

With a PhD in chemical engineering from EPFL, a Master's degree in chemical engineering and biotechnology, and a Bachelor's degree in chemistry and biology, I possess a solid scientific foundation.

I help people from primary to gymnasium improve their proficiency level in french at writting and speaking. And because i have a background in Engeneering studies i can also help in Mathematics and physics.

Same goes with adults willing to learn french and for those who needsto start with the basics in English

The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss maturity program and gymnasium or French programs are done 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 Matura and Terminales.
As well as for (students in international and European Schools in English, they can have support in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology).
For the start of the academic year in Switzerland, support courses for EPSU and ECUS exams.
For the first university year, support courses in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, 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.

🌟 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.

As a Master's student in Mechanical Engineering at EPFL, and holder of a Bachelor's degree in the same discipline, I have acquired a solid mastery of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. My academic background has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of scientific concepts as well as experience in their practical application.

I offer courses tailored to students up to high school level, whether to reinforce the basics, prepare for exams, or delve deeper into certain topics. My goal is to make science accessible and motivating, helping each student progress at their own pace.

During the lessons, we will work together to understand key concepts and put them into practice through a variety of exercises. I place great importance on personalized support, so that the student gains confidence, autonomy, and develops an effective working method.

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.

Hi! My name is Losel, I'm an IB graduate who scored 7 in both Math AA HL and Physics HL. I've just graduated magna cum laude with a double bachelor in mathematics and physics from École Polytechnique (Paris) and am now doing a master's in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL.

I offer one-on-one online tutoring, with an iPad and camera setup so we can work through problems together in real time, just like in person. I can help with:

Concepts: Going through your lectures and building intuition, clearing up the hard concepts.

Exercises and past papers: Understanding the exercises (best way to get a good grade btw), as well as exam strategy and how to solve problems faster.

IA and EE: choosing a strong topic, structuring the paper, and refining drafts.

University applications: personal statements, choosing programs, mock technical interviews, and how to maximize your chances to get into a top uni.

I've been through the IB myself, so I know where it gets tough and how to succeed through it. No two students need the same thing, so we'll set clear goals together and work toward them at your pace.

I teach in English, but I also have a C1 in French, so we can mix. I also speak Portuguese and Danish fluently.

Message me for a first chat!
