About Me

I'm a Master's student and research intern in the robotics labs at EPFL writing my thesis on bio-inspired flying robots. Having attended an international high school in my native Costa Rica and completed my bachelor's degree in Manchester, UK I have interacted with students from a wide range of educational systems, and can adapt my teaching to the needs of individual students.

I believe maths and physics should be taught with practical applications in mind. Students should never find themselves wondering "what's the point of learning this?" or "where do all these equations even come from?". I use examples based on interesting real-life problems - mostly from the realm of mechanical/aerospace engineering- and try to connect different topics to keep students motivated and interested.

Hello,
Young scientist (33 years old), I have a doctorate in physics and several years of professional experience in research institutes.
I propose courses of mathematics, physics and computer science until the gymnasium level.
My skills mean that I can lead a course and show the interest of the sciences learned in class, guaranteed success for students who do not necessarily see the interest of these courses. Possibility to teach in English.

I offer courses adapted to all levels, whether in college, high school or bachelor's degree. My classes include homework help, exam preparation and in-depth exercises. As a former student who asked a lot of questions himself, I encourage my students to ask as many questions as possible in order to dissipate all gray areas and leave no detail to chance, thus promoting exam success. .
I firmly believe that academic success does not depend on an innate aptitude, but rather on the ability to identify weak points and work on them. As a teacher, I am attentive to these weak points by regularly asking the student questions about the meaning of the exercises and each step of the calculation. I also push my students to develop their intuition so that they can easily adapt to any problem on exam day.

Hello !

A striking phrase from my students: in class it's never clear but with you I understand everything!

I'm Lucas, 28 years old, and I'm passionate about teaching math and physics. For the past six years, I've been tutoring students of all ages and levels, aiming to make these subjects more accessible and less intimidating. If you're struggling a bit with math or physics, I'm here to help you regain confidence and progress at your own pace!

Each session is tailor-made for you: I take the time to prepare exercises and explanations adapted to your needs. It is not just a repetition of lessons, it is personalized support so that you achieve your goals, whether it is to catch up, prepare for an exam or simply go further in your knowledge.

My goal? That you enjoy learning and progress quickly thanks to captivating lessons, in a relaxed but serious atmosphere!

I give private lessons for students who are in compulsory school. I am currently a student at the University of Lausanne. For the course, you can come directly to my house, it's quiet and we can work without any problem. There is also the possibility of doing the courses online if you prefer not to travel. It all depends on your preference.☺️
Do not hesitate to contact me! 😊

I offer support courses in mathematics in Lausanne and the surrounding area.
Passionate about teaching, I have experience that extends from secondary/gymnasium levels, where I guided students as a private math/physics teacher, to university, where I been a teacher at bachelor's, master's and engineering school levels in a Parisian University. These teaching experiences at very varied levels help me to form a global vision of learning.

Concerning my career, I completed a master's degree in engineering sciences at Sorbonne University, which I completed with a master's degree in sciences applied to music then a doctorate in acoustics and audio signal processing. My career as an engineer specializing in acoustics and artificial intelligence allowed me to experience mathematics in concrete applications on a daily basis.

Currently returning to studies to also become a professional musician and music teacher, I offer private lessons in math and/or music (guitar/saxophone), which will allow me to finance my new studies at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne .

I am always delighted to support students in a stimulating and enriching learning environment.

Mathematics is the daily life of many technical professions, as an engineer, everything related to them and their disciplines cannot resist me! Biology is just as important to understand how the world works, and knowing how to communicate in another language, so don't hesitate to contact me if you need extra help learning!

Our institute was founded for a simple reason: to reveal the potential that lies dormant in each of us, even when we struggle to see it ourselves. We all have enormous potential, but are we always able to fully perceive it? Sometimes, daily challenges, stress or lack of motivation can make us doubt our abilities.

With us, each course is a real human experience. Indeed, it is not simply about learning mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, or preparing for exams, but about creating a strong bond of trust between the teacher and the student. This bond is essential to provide a framework where each student feels listened to, supported and encouraged to surpass themselves.

Hello,
My name is Linnea, I am 21 years old and I am currently in my third year of a bachelor's degree in environmental science and engineering at EPFL.
I would be delighted to support you/your child in mathematics and science as well as in English and/or German. During my first year at EPFL, I was able to thoroughly review all the basics of mathematics, which allowed me to consolidate my knowledge and learn to explain concepts clearly and simply.
A few words about me: I am an optimistic, active, and sociable student who enjoys spending time outdoors and being around people. I grew up in a bilingual family, which allows me to speak German and English at a native level, as well as French fluently.
I live in Lausanne and am available to teach in person or online, with flexible hours on weekdays and weekends.
I would be very happy to hear from you.
Regards,
Linnea

Most lessons will start with a discussion before jumping into practice questions and worked examples in a calmer environment than the classroom.

We will discuss what area(s) of Mathematics the student is struggling with, I will then present diagnostic questions to identify the root cause of the confusion before working from basics to make sure the student understands what the gap in their knowledge is and how to best reinforce the gap in their learning.

For more confident students one of the best ways to prepare them for exams is working through exam-style questions and reviewing common areas where marks are lost along with best practices to minimise wasted time during the tests.

I offer private mathematics lessons for all levels, from primary school up to the master’s level.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics from EPFL, specialized in algebra and geometry, and I have also worked as a Teaching Assistant for four years for demanding university courses (advanced analysis, advanced linear algebra, fundamental structures).

This double experience, university teaching and personalized support, allows me to adapt my explanations both to a primary school student and to a student preparing for a master’s exam.

What I offer:

- Strengthening fundamentals and school support (primary, middle school, high school)

- Preparation for exams and entrance tests (maturité, baccalauréat, EPFL/ECAL, entrance exams)

- University support: analysis, algebra, probability, optimization, proofs, projects

- Methodological work: structuring reasoning, problem-solving, conceptual understanding

Working method:

- Precise initial assessment

- Clear, adapted, and progressive explanations

- Targeted and personalized exercises to progress quickly

- Building confidence, motivation, regular follow-up

My lessons can take place online or in person in Lausanne or nearby.
My goal is simple: to make mathematics understandable, efficient, and motivating for every student, regardless of their level.

Currently writing my Master's thesis, I plan to continue my studies in educational science and didactics, and I am particularly interested in pedagogy and the transmission of knowledge!

My primary aim is to motivate through concrete examples and to encourage reformulation in one's own words in order to facilitate the appropriation of concepts that may seem abstract at first glance.

Depending on the subject, I also share various general study strategies that I have acquired during my years of study, with the aim of encouraging autonomy in studies.

With the idea of autonomy in mind, I try to find and offer different resources (books, handouts, videos, etc.) to develop intuition and present the material in different ways.

I am open to all suggestions and proposals for improvements!
