About Me

I have always loved understanding the world around me, and this naturally led me to science. Now a second-year student at EPFL in Environmental Science and Engineering, I want to share this curiosity and help students progress with confidence in subjects that can sometimes be demanding, such as mathematics and physics.
I obtained a dual Esabac diploma (French Baccalaureate + Esame di Stato in science), which gave me a solid scientific foundation as well as a particular affinity for language learning. I am bilingual in Italian, and I love teaching this language, especially through discussion, practice, and simple explanations of grammar and conjugation.
As a teacher, I am patient, structured, and attentive. I always adapt my lessons to the student's needs: some need to review the basics, others to solidify their methodology, and still others to prepare for an exam. Students can send me their questions or the lesson topic in advance, which allows me to prepare a clear, effective, and personalized session.
I mainly teach remotely, which offers great flexibility and allows me to work in a comfortable environment, with suitable materials (diagrams, exercises, step-by-step explanations).
I enjoy working with motivated, curious students, or those simply ready to progress at their own pace. My goal is always the same: to make concepts understandable, restore confidence, and show that everyone can succeed with the right method and supportive guidance.

Education

Esabac diploma: double French-Italian certification (Baccalaureate + Esame di Stato scientifico), with scientific specialization.

EPFL: currently in the 2nd year of a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Engineering, a multidisciplinary course combining mathematics, physics, chemistry, geosciences and programming.

Experience / Qualifications

I have already given several private lessons in mathematics, physics, and Italian, mainly to secondary school students. I particularly enjoy supporting students over the long term, monitoring their progress, and adapting my teaching method to their needs.
I also completed two internships in demanding scientific environments:
CERN: discovering the different research sectors and immersing oneself in an international scientific environment.
MeteoSwiss: participation in the collection, analysis and visualization of atmospheric data.
In parallel, I worked two summers in restaurant service, an experience that taught me rigor, stress management, clear communication and a sense of contact — qualities that I find today in my way of teaching.

Private or small group lessons – Maths, Physics and Italian

36.6 £ /h

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.

French courses for beginners or intermediate learners. Language practice is mainly oral.

31.25 £ /h

I offer French lessons for English or Italian speakers, beginner or intermediate level. I emphasize oral practice of the language.
I propose a discussion to help us improve our everyday French, while of course correcting each mistake.
Don't be ashamed to speak up, that's how you learn the fastest and I will never judge you.

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

While adults are still debating whether kids should use AI, they are already using it.
The question isn't "should they?" it's "how do we do it intelligently?"

In this course, your child will discover:
✓ What AI actually is: not magic, not mystery. How machines think, what they can do, what they can't
✓ How ChatGPT really works: not just "ask a question and get an answer," but why it responds that way, where it fails, when to trust it
✓ What LLMs are (Large Language Models): in language they understand, not tech jargon
✓ Create with AI: custom avatars, interactive stories, real projects using real tools
✓ Think critically about AI: Bias, privacy, creativity. What does AI do better than humans? What can't it do?
✓ Real-world applications: How AI transforms medicine, education, art, gaming, everyday life

Why this is different:
Most AI courses for kids teach "here's the tool, use it." I teach how to think about AI.
Your child will learn to see AI not as black magic or a solution to everything, but as a powerful tool with real limits.
And, more importantly: that they can control how they use it.

What they take home:
Real projects they created (custom avatar, interactive app, analysis of a real AI case study). A genuine understanding of how it works. And the ability to use AI responsibly and creatively.

Format: Online | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible, adapted to their age and pace

For curious kids asking "How does ChatGPT actually know things?"

After an initial assessment, this course is designed to transform your child from a passive consumer of technology into an active, ethical AI creator.

Based on the personalized roadmap developed in the first session, the 5-week program delivers structured, project-based learning tailored to your child's cognitive strengths and interests, specifically addressing any learning barriers identified during the diagnostic phase.

What we achieve in 5 weeks:

Week 1-2: Foundations of Machine Learning & Critical Thinking: We move beyond definitions, using interactive projects to understand how AI learns (data, bias, pattern recognition). This builds critical thinking about the technology they use daily.

Week 3-4: Ethical Generative AI for Creativity: Students learn to master prompt engineering to create digital art, stories, or game concepts using generative AI tools. Safety and Ethics are paramount: we focus on responsible usage, digital citizenship, and copyright basics.

Week 5: The Final AI Creator Project: personalized mini-project (e.g., training a simple image classifier or writing a fully co-authored AI story) to demonstrate autonomy and mastery of the core concepts.

As your specialized 10+ year tech educator and coach, I ensure:

SEN Integration: Continuous adaptation of project requirements and delivery methods to ensure students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) maintain confidence and measurable progress.

Skill Transfer: We teach skills that translate directly to school projects, not just AI theory, but advanced digital literacy and structured problem-solving.
