Physics and math for high school and university students

From 55 £ /h

Maths and physics are among the branches that divide students the most. However I am convinced that it is possible to reconcile them with their refractories by providing a personalized and pragmatic pedagogy, while linking the subject to other branches to anchor them in a general knowledge.
Thus these courses given at home are personally adapted to each student according to his affinities and his goals.

About Me

Freshly graduated from EPFL, I followed all my training as a physicist there with the exception of a third year in exchange at the University of Montreal.
I want to become a teacher in secondary II and therefore offer tutorials to improve my teaching tools developed during my years of study as a tutor.
Having chosen a general physical training with quantum specialization, I have the knowledge to explore the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large.

Student in the first year of a master's degree in environment at EPFL and having followed scientific studies in France, I propose a school support in science targeted so as to advance the student so that it fills its gaps or even take the advanced. The session will be prepared before each meeting and a small personal work will be requested for the next session.

Master student at EPFL, I would be happy to help you (you or your child) for the subjects where you have difficulties! At university, I have been an assistant in Chemistry for the first years of EPFL for a few years as well as for a course linking mathematics and electronics, called Signals and Systems. So I am used to teaching and explaining concepts to students with difficulties. I also give private lessons to students passing the Swiss maturity or the French baccalaureate. To try to see together the difficulties as well as the misunderstandings: we go back to the lesson together, we do an exercise together and then I let the student do it independently and we review together if he is blocked or if we need to correct.
I would be delighted to be able to help you in all matters, both scientific and literary! :)

I am a second-year master's student at EPFL, in biology. I offer support courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. The course offers a possibility of help for students having difficulties in the proposed courses. The student will find a framework where he can ask these questions, discuss methodologies and improve. Putting my knowledge at the service of other people is a plus that I like to share.

I am at your disposal if you have any further questions.

I love teaching and have always enthusiastically helped my classmates. I have been giving private lessons since 2016 (around 25 students, including one for Analysis I, EPFL). I am also an assistant for two courses at EPFL (3rd year Bachelor and Master levels), and I co-created and taught the EPFL Advanced Analysis course during the welcome week for new students (Students4Students EPFL).

I strive to transmit my knowledge and my passion for the subject to my students, at a pace adapted to their needs. I think that students who take private lessons have a sincere desire to overcome their difficulties and that we must therefore pay particular attention to encouraging them. It is therefore step by step that I help them understand the material, by developing their intuition of the different concepts covered while ensuring that they fill in their gaps. My students appreciate my clarity, structure, motivation, patience and flexibility.

If you or your child has difficulty with mathematics, do not hesitate to contact me for more information about my courses.

Private tutoring — Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Life Sciences
As a student at EPFL, currently in BA5 (3rd year of Bachelor, Faculty IC — Computer Science), I have been giving private lessons since 2018.
My journey
Having earned a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences (summer 2021), I completed a three-month hospital internship in psychiatry and in fundamental neuroscience research. I passed the first-year competitive entrance exam for health studies (PASS) – a highly selective and demanding exam covering mathematics, physics, organic chemistry, and biology. Following this, I was actively involved in student association projects that provided preparation for this exam.
I have been teaching mathematics and physics for six years now, from middle school (8th grade) through high school (post-high school), up to the final exam preparation stage. I am experienced in working with students with ADHD and I enjoy adapting my teaching methods to each student's needs, maintaining a lively pace in class and using interactive exercises to ensure lasting knowledge retention.
I love teaching, helping students understand, and seeing that moment when everything becomes clear for the student.
What I propose
Refresher courses, exam preparation, course review, retaking an exam not understood or concepts not acquired.
Having myself gone through the challenge and stress of demanding competitions and exams, my goal is to give you confidence and provide you with a suitable method for success.
Terms and conditions
Home visits possible from Morges to Pully (variable rate, no vehicle), or courses at the Rolex Learning Center library at EPFL (fixed rate).
Very flexible availability during the summer and holidays; more limited hours during the school year depending on my own schedule. Contact me for more information :)

As a third-year Life Sciences student at EPFL, I offer math and physics-chemistry courses for students up to high school level. I earned a science baccalaureate with a specialization in mathematics and physics-chemistry, and have been giving private lessons for several years. My goal is to help each student progress methodically and confidently, in a caring environment adapted to their pace.

During the lessons, we focus on understanding key concepts, applying them through targeted exercises, and developing lasting autonomy in scientific subjects.

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.

I am a PhD student at EPFL, and I have been teaching mathematics and physics/chemistry for several years now. I was accepted to MIT, the best school in the world, and I was also accepted to Oxford and Cambridge.

Often students learn, but do not know the correct techniques to apply to exercises; I will show the student how to properly understand and solve the exercises.

I'm a student at HEC Lausanne and I love working with children. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always take the time to build a trusting relationship with them. I speak French and English fluently, which also allows me to help with homework in both languages. I can babysit, accompany children on school trips, and offer quiet or fun activities depending on their needs. My main goal is for children to feel safe, listened to, and to have a good time.

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.

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.
