Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Astronomy & Astrophysics

From 55 £ /h

Having graduated with a Master's degree in physics from EPFL, specializing in astrophysics, I offer private tutoring in mathematics and physics for secondary school students, gymnasium students and students at the beginning of higher education.

I have several years of experience in teaching: assistant in mechanics and thermodynamics at EPFL, private tutoring in mathematics and physics, as well as various teaching and science outreach activities.

My method

My goal is not to make people learn formulas by heart, but to make them truly understand the concepts and reasoning behind them.

My first step is to identify the problem: a poorly understood concept, weak foundations, difficulty translating a problem into equations, or simply a lack of methodology. We then reconstruct the reasoning step by step before applying it to exercises.

The goal is for the student to gradually become capable of solving problems independently, rather than mechanically reproducing a method.

I can help with, in particular:

understanding and resuming the lesson;
exercises and homework;
consolidation of the foundations;
preparation for tests, exams, maturity or baccalaureate;
methodology and problem-solving;
refresher or advanced training.

Places:

Feel free to contact me, indicating your level, the subject matter, and the difficulties or objectives you wish to work on.

Extra information

I take notes during the lesson I give to the student, but you are more than encouraged to take your own notes during the lesson, which boosts learning.

About Me

I hold a Master’s degree in Physics from EPFL, with a specialization in astrophysics, and I have been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for several years. I have also worked as a teaching assistant at EPFL in mechanics and thermodynamics, and taken part in various teaching and science outreach activities with pupils and university students. I particularly enjoy sharing my passion for science and helping students overcome their difficulties. For me, the most important thing is not to memorize formulas or methods, but to understand the concepts and reasoning behind them. I therefore try to adapt my explanations to each student, go back over the fundamentals when necessary, and gradually develop their intuition and independence when solving exercises. My goal is for the student to eventually understand why a method works and be able to solve problems independently.

I teach courses in civil engineering, mathematics (secondary and university), physics (secondary) either in a public place, at the student's home or by webcam.

The aim of the course is to understand the material and not to learn it by heart, in order to be able to solve all types of exercises without being destabilized when there is a small modification.
I am at your disposal to adapt my course to each one. I like that the course is alive, that there is an interaction between the student and myself. It also ensures that the material has been understood.
Above all, feel free to ask all your questions and also to send me your comments. It is always good to have feedback in order to progress.

Know that you are all capable of succeeding, for that you have to find the working method that suits you! Have confidence in yourself!

My name is Noreen, I'm a second-year bachelor's student at HEC Lausanne, and I tutor elementary school students. I'm passionate about sharing the many learning techniques I've developed, and I would be delighted to use them to help students progress with confidence. Patient and calm by nature, I don't hesitate to rephrase or re-explain concepts several times so that each student can understand at their own pace. Lessons can be conducted in either French or English, depending on your needs. I look forward to meeting you and discussing your goals!

Python is a widely used programming language that allows you to quickly become familiar with code. This course is aimed at students who are interested in learning more about this language, whether in parallel with classes they would have at the gymnasium or for their own interest.

This course adapts to the level of the student and allows you to see ever more complex concepts step by step, starting from the basics if necessary. The basic subjects are obviously highlighted if the student encounters difficulties but it is also possible to see together more advanced subjects such as the processing of data, images, signals as well as the development of a website. with python.

I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Mathematics from EPFL, where I also worked as a student assistant for 4 years, notably for the CMS (Special Mathematics Course), the MAN (Upgrade), as well as for several first-year Bachelor's courses. I also served as a corrector for multiple exam sessions and wrote a handout for a course for Master's students in Mathematics at EPFL. Through these experiences, I had the opportunity to support many students in successfully completing their first year, often considered one of the most demanding.

Today, I offer private math lessons for all levels, from compulsory school to the federal maturity, as well as for Bachelor students needing support in subjects with a strong mathematical component.

Passionate about teaching, what I appreciate above all is seeing students' progress, their confidence and their growing understanding. My methodology is based on an intuitive understanding of concepts, through simple and clear examples, as well as structured support in reasoning. I place particular emphasis on solving exercises, because it is through regular practice that we consolidate our knowledge and truly progress in mathematics.

As a master's student in computer science at EPFL and a student assistant for several years, I am used to explaining complex concepts to people with very different backgrounds. I love logic, well-constructed reasoning, and those moments when everything finally “clicks.” My approach is simple: understand how you think, then adapt the explanation, not the other way around.

I offer math and programming lessons, adapted to all levels, in French or English.

In math, I can help from the most basic level up to the end of high school: algebra, analysis, functions, derivatives, integrals, probabilities, mathematical logic, or simply consolidating the basics. The goal is not to memorize formulas, but to understand the reasoning behind them (yes, they make sense, I promise :) ).

In programming, I support students and beginners as well as more advanced learners in Python, Java, Scala, C/C++, and Bash. Whether you want to learn to program from scratch, understand a course, write cleaner code, or pass an exam, I adapt to your goals.

My classes are designed to be interactive: we ask questions, we make mistakes, and we progress! I want you to leave having learned something new.

I offer private lessons in math, physics, chemistry, life and earth sciences and French to help students better understand their lessons, progress and gain confidence.

The sessions are tailored to each student's level and needs: reviewing difficult concepts, homework help, test/exam preparation, and practice exercises. I always try to explain things simply and clearly, using a patient and encouraging approach.

My goal is for the student to truly understand what they are doing and gradually become more independent.

I want to make myself useful while financing my studies in mathematics at EPFL. I offer mathematics and physics lessons until the end of high school. The most important thing when I transmit knowledge is to ensure that the student has understood the purpose of the course and the exercises. Moreover, my goal is to give back the desire to study these subjects to those who lose motivation and courage, which frequently happens for many young people. I will demonstrate pedagogy, dynamism and patience with the students.

Third-year computer science student offers homework help/refresher courses for science subjects (Mathematics, computer science, biology, physics, chemistry).

My approach is to first understand the student's prior knowledge and solidify the foundations before moving on to more complex concepts.

I can give homework or not, I adapt to the situation and the needs of each student.
