Your child’s success is possible—let’s unlock it together.

Are you looking for help with mathematics?

To prepare for an exam, accomplish a coursework, a bachelor's or master's thesis?

I studied mathematics and physics (PhD) and have been teaching for 10 years. I have already
helped more than 150 students succeed.

I make the lecture material more understandable using concrete examples. I correct papers, explain the best methods to solve tasks or put up my own exercices to achieve the necessary level.

I would be happy to help you write extensive papers.

I am an affable character and am completely committed to one goal: the success of the
student.

Hello dear students. I am a doctor of engineering with 20 years of experience teaching adults and adolescents. I am very patient and focused on the needs of the student.
Above all, creating a teaching environment where the student enjoys studying is very important to me: Learning should be enjoyable!

Whether you are a student or simply curious to understand how living things work, this course adapts to your level and your needs.

We will cover the major themes of biology: the cell, DNA, genetics, physiology, microbiology, and even cancer biology, a subject in which I specialized during my doctorate.

My goal is to explain biology in a clear and accessible way, taking the time to cover essential concepts or those that pose difficulties.

I can also help you revise your lessons, understand your exercises or prepare for your exams.

I tutor math and physics to students from elementary school through middle school. As a bilingual French-English engineer, I can teach in either language as needed. I use a clear and structured teaching approach that focuses on deep understanding of concepts rather than endless, meaningless exercises. The goal is to rebuild confidence, establish a solid foundation, and achieve effective progress. Lessons are available at home or online.

I offer math and physics tutoring for students from middle school up to the end of high school. As a bilingual engineer (French–English), I can teach in either language depending on your needs. My approach focuses on real understanding rather than flooding the student with endless exercises. The goal is to rebuild confidence, strengthen core foundations, and make steady, meaningful progress. Lessons can be held at home or online.

Academic support – All subjects for elementary school or Math, Physics, Chemistry (middle school)
Courses in French or English.
PhD in Science.
Homework help, foundational skills reinforcement, exam preparation.
In-person or online tutoring. Flexible scheduling.

I offer Spanish courses adapted to both children and adults, with a specific teaching approach for each group.

For kids :
Learning takes place through a fun, interactive method adapted to their age, using games, songs, stories, and creative activities. The goal is to develop comprehension, pronunciation, and basic vocabulary while building confidence and a love of learning.

For adults:
The courses focus on practical conversation, real-life communication, and dynamic exercises that allow for rapid progress in both speaking and writing. Each session is personalized to the learner's personal, professional, or travel needs.

I have over five years of experience teaching Spanish and English, as well as extensive experience working with children in educational and healthcare settings. My approach emphasizes confidence, rapid progress, and a caring and motivating environment.

Objective: to enable each student to communicate in Spanish with ease, pleasure and efficiency.

This support course aims to help struggling students improve and gain confidence in school subjects, whether at primary school, orientation cycle, college or any other upper secondary school. It also provides help with homework and/or revision.

I am a student at EPFL studying life sciences engineering. I have experience tutoring students from primary school through high school. I offer math homework help from elementary school through high school, and science tutoring for primary school students. Chemistry, physics, biology, and computer science tutoring are also available for high school students, depending on the subject. I am punctual, calm, and patient. I can provide extra practice exercises to ensure my student is ready to be assessed on the material.

With a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences and currently a Master's student at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), I offer private lessons and academic support in mathematics and science for primary, secondary and undergraduate students in Geneva.

I can support your child with occasional homework help, reviewing a poorly understood subject, preparing for a quiz or exam, filling in gaps in knowledge, or setting up regular follow-up throughout the school year.

I place great importance on adapting to each student. Everyone has their own pace and learning style, so I take the time to identify any difficulties they encounter and adjust my explanations and approach accordingly. My goal is to make concepts more accessible while helping each child develop their own methodology—tools that will be useful throughout their learning journey.

Lessons can be given in French, my native language, or in English, which I speak at a C1+ level as certified by the TOEFL. I am available for one-off lessons or regular tutoring, depending on the student's needs and goals.

I have been teaching physics and chemistry for 25 years. A tenured teacher since 2008 at a prestigious international school in French-speaking Switzerland, I am fully equipped to help you at all levels, from primary school to university. Specially trained for the French Baccalaureate, I have also taught courses for the Swiss Matura and the IB.
I have many interactive visual aids that have proven effective for learning!

I have been a physics and chemistry teacher at Le Rosey International School for 18 years. My level of English is B2/C1. I also have a wide range of visual aids that have proven effective for teaching science in my classes.

"We need to go back to basics." Okay. But which ones?

When a student gets stuck on functions, the difficulty may stem from the chapter itself... or from a calculation rule they never truly understand. My work begins by identifying what's preventing them from progressing.

We are working on his lessons, exercises and tests to prepare for upcoming deadlines, while also reviewing the concepts he is missing.

CONCRETE FOLLOW-UP WITH CONSTELLATION

I developed Constellation, my tool for tracking math skills. I use it to keep a precise view of the concepts acquired, those to consolidate, and the work done from one session to the next.

For example: if a student understands the method of an equation but makes a mistake with fractions, we target this difficulty, then we return to the equation to check that he can proceed on his own.

The tool helps me choose the exercises and explain to you what we are working on, why we are working on it, and what progress is being made.

DURING CLASSES

• We are reviewing the points in the course that remain unclear.
• The student searches, explains their approach and learns to check their answers.
• We work on exercises tailored to his difficulties and objectives.
• We prepare for tests and exams: reasoning, writing, method and time management.

I support students from 6th grade to 12th grade: occasional difficulties, accumulated gaps in knowledge, preparation for the brevet or baccalaureate, or the desire to go further.

Lessons take place via video conference or at home around Douvaine. They can be given in French or English.

We start with a recent exercise or test to get to know each other, identify initial difficulties, and define priorities.

To contact me, simply indicate your child's class, what problem they are currently experiencing, and your availability. You do not need to know the cause of their difficulties yourself.

Basic school curriculum for biology:
- cycle level
- secondary school level
Using textbooks, I can review the lessons and rephrase them to gain a better understanding of the processes in biology. This is very important for success in this subject.
