[PT/EN] Master Student at EPFL & ETH Zurich and Tutor for 3 years who is looking to help High School Students with difficulties in Math!

From 38 £ /h

Hi and welcome to this posting! :D

My name is Pedro and I've been tutoring students for the last 3 years.

I have a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering and I am currently studying for a MSc in Cyber Security at EPFL & ETH Zurich.

I love to learn and help others.
For instance, one of the ways I prepared for the Math National Exam was actually by being a tutor to friends who were having many doubts.

I would say my way of explaining is a bit different: I always try to keep people engaged and I don't stop until all the doubts are cleared!

To explain something, I do it in a simple and intuitive way, and I like to come up with funny ways for people to understand the material.

I also create a lot of drawings and figures to make it easier to understand!

I take notes in a writing application and share them at the end of each class.

Extra information

If remote, I have a drawing tablet, so it would be as if we were side by side. In this case, I will share the notes with you, so you can print or consult them online.

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.

My personalized tutoring lessons are a great help in enabling my students to progress with confidence. I provide them with tailored learning methods. After easily identifying their areas of weakness, I assist them in consolidating their knowledge and achieving all the objectives required by their teachers in public or private schools.

I have two educational support locations available for my students:
Avenue de Lavaux (since 04.01.21)
Rue du Lac (since 01.09.22)

In addition to this, I offer pre-entry courses, ECR preparation courses, school coaching, and language courses.
My private lessons are suitable for DYS/ADD students as well as highly proficient (HP) students. I also collaborate with other teachers for certain more specialized subjects.

All lessons can be conducted either individually or in small groups of 2 to 4 students.

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.

I am a Master's student in Electronic Engineering offering Math, Physics and Computer Science lessons, in English or Italian. Over the past 7 years, I have tutored about 40 middle and high school students, helping them recover from bad grades and excel in their studies.

My strength lies in simplifying complex scientific concepts: rather than asking students to memorize formulas, I guide them to understand the underlying logic, so they can solve new problems on their own. I am very patient and adapt to each student's learning pace to make them fully independent.

I believe in building a relationship of trust and empathy, creating a relaxed environment where students never feel anxious about asking questions or making mistakes.

Lessons in person around Pully / Lausanne or online via webcam.
