Scientist working on cutting-edge AI. Prev: researcher at EPFL, PhD in Mathematical Physics. Experience with IB and Cambridge STEP prep.

From 114.88 £ /h

Hi! I am currently an AI Scientist at a US-based company working on cutting-edge AI applied to molecular biology. This is the topic that won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared by D. Baker, J. Jumper, D. Hassabis).

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in computational biophysics, machine learning and computational biology at EPFL. I maintain two Python libraries for Topological Data Analysis and pyflagser.

I have previously been a post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bern, where my research was concerned with the interplay between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

I have been teaching at various levels since I was a PhD student at the University of York (UK), and more recently I was part of the cutting-edge educational project Isaac Physics in Physics/Maths/Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Here is my teaching experience so far:

- As a PhD student, I taught seminars in several of the undergraduate modules taught by the Department of Mathematics. In total, I have around 500 contact hours of experience in seminar teaching and marking, all of which I have found to be very rewarding.

- As a PhD student, I jointly ran a course for talented high school student wishing to be admitted at high-rank universities, and in particular wishing to pass interviews and the STEP admission paper for entry at Cambridge.

- As part of the Isaac Physics project, I created or helped create some of the online content such as theory pages, problems and books. In particular I helped put together a book on GCSE physics and one on A-level chemistry. Again as part of Isaac Physics, I gave seminars to a variety of high school students and interacted with local teachers to communicate the Isaac Physics philosophy and methodology. I also have some experience giving online YouTube webinars.

- Throughout, I have been offering one-to-one tuition to A-level/IB students, university students and adult casual learners.

I am happy to travel within about 4-5km of my postcode 1008 in Prilly. Alternatively, I can offer webcam lessons.

I give mathematics and physics lessons, in English or Italian, for middle and high school students.
I am an engineer and have been teaching for 5 years, I have gained a lot of experience by assisting my teacher at the Polytechnic of Turin (Politecnico di Torino) and by giving support courses to several learners of all ages. course will be mainly oriented on your school program by taking up the concepts presented in class, by doing exercises and summaries to synthesize the information.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to write to me, I will be happy to answer you as quickly as possible. I propose to give the course in the district of Chailly (Lausanne) or at your home.

Holder of a Master in Neuroscience from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva and wishing to direct myself towards teaching, I give Biology courses for students at the Gymnasium or in Bachelor.

9 years ago, I started to give tutoring lessons in Mathematics, Sciences and French for the youngest, which allowed me to improve my pedagogy and to better adapt to each student. . I have always had fun teaching and this is what, in part, led me to take the path of teaching. This is also why I still offer my help in these same branches for students from 9 to 11th HarmoS.

On the other hand, my years of studies at the Gymnasium in Biology-Chemistry option and my Bachelor of Biology allowed me to have very good knowledge of the subjects taught in Lausanne.

I am attentive and attentive, the idea being to find the best possible method of understanding and learning for everyone!

Whether for regular or one-off courses, do not hesitate to contact me!

Hello,

I am an EPFL graduate student who has followed and helped more than 50 students to pass their year for maths, physics and chemistry.

Last year I had 4 students who were taking their exams to obtain their federal maturities (private school) and contacted me for regular courses during the year. They all had excellent results in maths and physics. I even have a student who had 6 in her federal math exam..... (she didn't know much before starting lessons with me and now she's a hit!)

If you need help, I offer group and individual lessons in Lausanne (1014) or by zoom (depending on your preference).
Individual lesson (1 person)
Group lessons (2 people)
Group lessons (3 people)
Questions or you can already book your first lesson

I am a student in the 1st year of Master in Applied Mathematics. If you think it's about learning without understanding, you don't have the right method. I could give you the right approaches to understand the material and pass your exams.

During the course I will adapt to your needs, whether it is to review the course, understand / do the exercises or both.

Hi everyone!

I offer math lessons suitable for all grade levels.

I am 32 years old, I come from Italy, and my university education includes a bachelor's, a master's and a doctorate in mathematics (the last at EPFL). I am in the process of following a training course in pedagogy at the HEP in Lausanne to be able to teach in gymnasiums. I have experience with one-to-one private lessons for high school students, and I also spent five years as an assistant at EPFL for different bachelor and master courses.

I am deeply convinced that mathematics can be accessible to everyone, if approached with the right approach. I look forward to helping you on your educational journey!

See you soon,
Ricardo

I am in the second year of my Master's degree at EPFL, where I did my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
I have experience in math and physics with gymnasium and pre-gymnasium students.
I like to share my knowledge and I am a patient and calm person
So I would be happy if I could help you :)

A student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 in the IC (computer science) faculty.

I have been giving private lessons since 2018 in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences since summer 2021, I completed a 3-month internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and basic research in neuroscience.

I have also been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for 8th grade students at the gymnasium or in preparation for their maturity for 6 years. Many of my students have an ADHD profile, and I always enjoy adapting to the needs of each person, maintaining DYNAMICS in the course and doing interactive exercises so that the knowledge sinks in better. ..
I love teaching, making people understand and seeing that moment of light on the student's face for whom everything becomes clear!

Dynamic, I am myself a studious and serious student. I have gone through the challenges and stress of exams and competitions many times.

--> My goal is to give you confidence and provide you with the right method to succeed in your course.

As we often say, mathematics is the basis of everything in life. We do mathematics every day without knowing it, in driving, we measure the overtaking distance before starting to overtake safely, in the kitchen, our mothers measure the amount of salt to put in each meal. In short, we do mathematics in everyday life without knowing it. I know that it is the subject that scares many students but I tell you the truth it is the simplest subject of all. You just have to know the principles and do a lot of exercises that's all.
English is the international language, everywhere you go in the world you encounter English, so knowing how to speak it is a great asset and helps you move freely around the world without restrictions.
