University researcher tutoring in Mathematics and Physics. Secondary school/university and casual learning. Including Cambridge STEP prep.

Hi! I am currently 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 at a discounted price.

Mathematics courses (DF level and higher) for maturity.
Hello, I am a professor and also a graduate of EPFL in Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Also having a solid background in applied mathematics, I have been offering mathematics courses at DF level and above for more than 8 years. I have already worked with more than 150 students for these two subjects, and they have obtained excellent results in their matus. The topics often discussed are: - Algebra (1st, 2nd and 3rd degree functions). - Analysis of functions (derivative, optimization and integrals). - Vector and analytical geometry (plane and space). - Complex numbers. - Real sequences (arithmetic and geometry). - Linear algebra. - Statistics and others. I am a very pedagogical and patient person. If you have any difficulties or shortcomings, do not hesitate to contact me. Greetings

Soukaynah
Physics and Chemistry Maths lessons for high school students!
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

Omar
Student at EPFL, I give private lessons in math, physics and chemistry
I do personalized lessons according to the student by trying to understand the reason for the difficulties encountered, by developing his faculties and by improving the relationship of the student to the subject taught. I can insist on the understanding of the material and review elements of theories and ensure that the important concepts are understood or embark on the exercises which make it possible to apply various methods of resolution and identify the usual pitfalls or so on the success of an examination according to the situation.

Debora
Homework help and exam preparation for children
Student at the University of Lausanne, I offer to help children who have difficulties at school and who would like to have support for homework or who need explanations in certain branches in particular, as well as for exam preparation.

Riccardo
Mathematics courses: secondary school, university, college, ETH
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

Max
Mathematics and physics courses, at all levels, from primary to first year at EPFL
I am a student at EPFL in the 2nd year of a Bachelor of Physics. Passionate about the beauty of mathematics and physics, I have chosen to share my fascination by teaching these subjects, with my knowledge and my motivation I will be able to teach you math and physics at least until the 1st year of l EPFL.

Séverine
School support for all branches / courses for adults
Mathematics/science lessons: understanding of theory and application with exercises. Methods with procedure to be able to apply the formulas of physics in the exercises. Application of mathematics (geometry and algebra) to physics problems. Learning methods according to the pupil/student/adult.

Yacine
Student in the 1st year of a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics at EPFL gives lessons in maths and physics
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.

Selma
Biology course - Gymnasium and Bachelor - Sciences / Mathematics / French - 9 to 11th HarmoS
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!
