Scientist working on cutting-edge AI. Prev: researcher at EPFL, PhD in Mathematical Physics. Experience with IB and Cambridge STEP prep.

Hi! I am currently an AI Scientist at a US-based company working on cutting-edge AI applied to molecular biology. This is the topic that won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared by D. Baker, J. Jumper, D. Hassabis).

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in computational biophysics, machine learning and computational biology at EPFL. I maintain two Python libraries for Topological Data Analysis and pyflagser.

I have previously been a post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bern, where my research was concerned with the interplay between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

I have been teaching at various levels since I was a PhD student at the University of York (UK), and more recently I was part of the cutting-edge educational project Isaac Physics in Physics/Maths/Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

Here is my teaching experience so far:

- As a PhD student, I taught seminars in several of the undergraduate modules taught by the Department of Mathematics. In total, I have around 500 contact hours of experience in seminar teaching and marking, all of which I have found to be very rewarding.

- As a PhD student, I jointly ran a course for talented high school student wishing to be admitted at high-rank universities, and in particular wishing to pass interviews and the STEP admission paper for entry at Cambridge.

- As part of the Isaac Physics project, I created or helped create some of the online content such as theory pages, problems and books. In particular I helped put together a book on GCSE physics and one on A-level chemistry. Again as part of Isaac Physics, I gave seminars to a variety of high school students and interacted with local teachers to communicate the Isaac Physics philosophy and methodology. I also have some experience giving online YouTube webinars.

- Throughout, I have been offering one-to-one tuition to A-level/IB students, university students and adult casual learners.

I am happy to travel within about 4-5km of my postcode 1008 in Prilly. Alternatively, I can offer webcam lessons.

Mathematics courses (DF level and higher) for maturity.
Hello, I am a professor and also a graduate of EPFL in Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Also having a solid background in applied mathematics, I have been offering mathematics courses at DF level and above for more than 8 years. I have already worked with more than 150 students for these two subjects, and they have obtained excellent results in their matus. The topics often discussed are: - Algebra (1st, 2nd and 3rd degree functions). - Analysis of functions (derivative, optimization and integrals). - Vector and analytical geometry (plane and space). - Complex numbers. - Real sequences (arithmetic and geometry). - Linear algebra. - Statistics and others. I am a very pedagogical and patient person. If you have any difficulties or shortcomings, do not hesitate to contact me. Greetings

Alessia
Support courses in Sciences (maths, physics, chemistry)
Graduated in materials science and engineering at EPFL in 2024, I finished my high school in the specific option of maths-physics. I have been giving private lessons since 2016, which allowed me to gain experience by helping children (primary school/secondary I), high school students or first-year students at UNIL/EPFL. I therefore offer support hours for people who have difficulties in the field of basic sciences (math, physics, chemistry). I will try to answer the student's questions about the theory or a particular exercise as best I can. I generally prepare an introduction to help understand the important concepts on a given topic through examples and typical exercises. Hope to meet you! 😊

Yann-Cedric
Master's student at EPFL gives tutoring in Maths, Physics and French in his free time
Hello, I am a young master's student in electrical engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. I am passionate about both my chosen field (electrical engineering) and teaching. This is why I offer, during my free time, my services as a tutor in mathematics, physics and French for all levels (up to the last year of high school). With more than 5 years of experience in educational support, I am familiar with the challenges that students may face and I adapt my teaching methods according to the specific needs of each. I would be delighted to use my skills in these subjects, as well as my interpersonal and organizational skills, my motivation and my rigor, in order to contribute to the academic success of my students. Thank you for your kind attention. Best regards

Omar
Student at EPFL, I give private lessons in math, physics and chemistry
I do personalized lessons according to the student by trying to understand the reason for the difficulties encountered, by developing his faculties and by improving the relationship of the student to the subject taught. I can insist on the understanding of the material and review elements of theories and ensure that the important concepts are understood or embark on the exercises which make it possible to apply various methods of resolution and identify the usual pitfalls or so on the success of an examination according to the situation.

Claire
EPFL student gives course ANALYSIS & LINEAR ALGEBRA - propaedeutics / CMS
Student at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), I am currently in BA5 - third year of Bachelor - at the IC (computer science) faculty. I have been providing private lessons since 2018 in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences. Holder of a Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences since the summer of 2021, I completed 3 months of internship in a hospital environment in the psychiatric sector and fundamental research in neuroscience. I was also passed (admitted to the competition but the quota places granted limited my entry into medical school) after having completed a national competition which was both selective and elitist to enter a medical school: the first common year to health studies. Very difficult in maths, physics, organic chemistry and biology. I was subsequently very involved in collaborative and associative projects to train students for the medical competition, in the first year. I love teaching, making people understand and seeing this moment of light on the face of the student for whom everything becomes clearer! I have also been giving private lessons in mathematics and physics for 8th grade students at the gymnasium or in preparation for their maturity for 6 years. Many of my students have an ADHD profile, and I always enjoy adapting to the needs of each person, maintaining DYNAMICS in the course and doing interactive exercises so that the knowledge sinks in better. .. Dynamic, I am myself a studious and serious student. I have gone through the challenges and stress of exams and competitions many times. My goal is to give you confidence and provide you with the appropriate method to succeed in your course. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ COURSE PROGRESS ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Home travel possible from Morges to Pully: variable prices because not transported Possible to teach the course at the Rolex, the EPFL library: fixed prices _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upgrading possible.

Soukaynah
Physics and Chemistry Maths lessons for high school students!
Hello, I am an EPFL graduate student who has followed and helped more than 50 students to pass their year for maths, physics and chemistry. Last year I had 4 students who were taking their exams to obtain their federal maturities (private school) and contacted me for regular courses during the year. They all had excellent results in maths and physics. I even have a student who had 6 in her federal math exam..... (she didn't know much before starting lessons with me and now she's a hit!) If you need help, I offer group and individual lessons in Lausanne (1014) or by zoom (depending on your preference). Individual lesson (1 person) Group lessons (2 people) Group lessons (3 people) Questions or you can already book your first lesson
