Nico is an absolute gem! My son loved every minute of their lessons and Nico’s knowledge is so incredible with great teaching skills. I would choose him again without a doubt! Very reliable too! Thank you so much for such a fantastic lessons Nico!
Nico was a very patient teacher. I understood physics instead of just learning it by heart. He helped me pass my first year exams!!

Taliesin
Mathematics and Physics Course | ETHZ Student | For students in high school, college and high school.
As a 3rd year physics student at ETH, I offer private lessons in mathematics as well as academic support for middle school, high school/gymnasium and first year university students. I mainly base myself on the progressive resolution of exercises, to understand where the difficulties come from and to be able to overcome them. I listen and adapt to the student in order to understand their perspective. I can thus approach problems in the way that suits him best, which allows me to create solid foundations and establish an excellent understanding of the subject. A progressive approach to exercises and regular practice builds self-confidence and allows for great improvement over the long term! I have already taught students from: - Swiss Gymnasium -French high school and college - European School - EPFL - Paris Polytechnic School I therefore know the habits of these schools and can easily adapt to the program of the students I accompany. During lessons via ZOOM, I use a tablet that allows me to write directly on the student's screen.

Alexandrine
Private lessons in science subjects
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.

Sophia
3rd year student in engineering school at EPFL gives math and physics lessons for all levels
Passionate about science and teaching, I offer private math and physics lessons based on real-world problem-solving. My teaching approach is to help students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts covered by contextualizing them through exercises tailored to their level. A typical lesson begins with a brief discussion to clearly identify the student's challenges. I then work with them through targeted exercises to review and deepen key concepts. As the lesson progresses, we work together to solve a variety of detailed problems, fostering independence and confidence. My unique skills as a teacher lie in my ability to make science accessible and engaging, while constantly adapting my explanations to the way students learn best. My goal is to impart sound and effective reasoning methods, rather than memorizing them. My classes are aimed at students from middle school to high school (all majors), as well as anyone looking to strengthen their foundation in mathematics and physics as part of their higher education. Whether you're struggling or simply looking to expand your knowledge, I'm here to support you and help you progress.

Julien
Private Lessons, Tutoring - Mathematics and Science
Dear Parents, You have come here seeking help for your child, and you have made the right decision. Public schools play a crucial role in our education, but sometimes they lack the necessary resources to cater to each student individually. I, too, experienced a challenging academic journey for this very reason. My struggles were not greater than those of others, but the rigid schedule limited my ability to fully flourish. Fortunately, with the support of my parents, I had the opportunity to attend a private school and fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a chemist. I am now a chemist who holds a degree from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), and on April 11, 2019, I successfully defended a doctoral thesis in experimental physics at the University of Geneva (UNIGE). However, all this knowledge is only valuable if it can be effectively communicated. As you know, communication is an essential aspect of teaching. There are teachers who can be uninteresting, and then there are others whose passion is contagious. I have often observed that teachers who manage to ignite their students' interest take the time to provide context for what they teach. This approach often sparks curiosity in students, leading them to engage willingly. Your child's studies are a serious matter, you are right to look for solutions. Best regards, Julien

Adrian
Second-year EPFL mechanical engineering student teaching math and physics. High school or first-year university level!
Mathematics: Depending on your level and needs, we can review the fundamentals (calculations, fractions, equations), and delve deeper into more advanced concepts such as analysis (derivatives, integrals, sequences) or linear algebra (matrices, vector spaces). The goal is to progress effectively, whether to consolidate knowledge or prepare for exams. Physics: From school level to higher education, I can support you in the different branches of physics taught in class: mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, optics, waves, etc. Specially skilled in mechanics, I can also delve deeper into this subject for students who need it. Courses are adapted to each student according to their level and objectives. Whether for regular monitoring, exam preparation, or one-off support, I adapt to your pace. Courses available online or in person on the EPFL campus if possible.

Thibault
Private lessons in Maths, Physics-Chemistry, Biology
Hi! I'm Thibault, a French expatriate in Switzerland, passionate about science since I was little. I had the chance to turn this passion into a career, with a degree from one of the best engineering schools in France (the equivalent of EPFL) and a PhD in statistical physics applied to biology. Today, I want to share this knowledge and passion with you! In my private lessons, we will explore together the mysteries of science, from physics to biology, including math and chemistry. No stress, we will take the time to understand each concept, with concrete examples and fun experiments. Whether you are in middle school, high school or even university, I adapt to your level to help you progress at your own pace. And since I am mobile in Romandie, we can meet wherever you want for these scientific discovery sessions!

Pierre
Graduate professor from the École Polytechnique offers support and in-depth study in Mathematics and Physics for High School and Bachelor students
I offer both reinforcement and in-depth courses, adapted to the students' pace and the teachers' requirements. With 10 years of experience in individual monitoring and 5 years in front of diverse classes, I do not offer so much academic support as lively and interactive courses, whose key words are kindness and encouragement. Familiar with the Swiss and French programs as well as the IB, I know the frequent and less frequent sticking points that students encounter, as well as the classic exercises that must be redone absolutely and those that go further. My method: Understanding and assimilating the course are at the heart of everything, and that is why I particularly insist on this point which often requires filling in gaps from previous years. Concrete illustrations and targeted training then facilitate these famous understanding triggers which allow the student to finally release their full potential. We always proceed in stages: course - classic exercises - more advanced exercises, with obviously homework from one time to the next to anchor the knowledge and develop the autonomy necessary to solve complex problems. Skills of interest for scientific bachelors: - in mathematics: basic analysis, linear algebra, differential equations, integration, probabilities - in physics: point and solid mechanics, electrokinetics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, geometric and physical optics, quantum mechanics

MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS COURSES - for high school and university students
I am a first year student at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EPFL) in the physics section. I had my baccalaureate with honors with 20/20 in mathematics and 18/20 in physics. I therefore master the middle and high school curriculum: in mathematics on all chapters and in physics, particularly the kinematics/dynamics chapters. I am able to take over the course to explain everything that is not clear and say what is important to focus on, give revision advice, correct exercises, work on exercises with the student in an educational manner to that he then approaches similar exercises more easily.

Sabri
EPFL Master Student-Assistant offers support courses in Physics
I love teaching and have always enthusiastically helped my classmates. I have been giving private lessons since 2016 (around 25 students, including 4 for a General Physics course in propaedeutics). 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 (for mathematicians and physicists) during the week welcoming new students. I then 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.
