Private lessons in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and all other scientific subjects
Recently graduated from a prestigious engineering school, I seek to give personalized lessons in the subjects I master. My goal is to support students in understanding the subjects in question and to prepare them for the success of their exams. Pedagogue and attentive to the needs of the student, my lessons are all different and adapt to each one.

Ainara Alvarez
Private classes in math, physics and chemistry or Spanish language
I am a physics graduate and I offer private lessons at home in all subjects up to the second year of high school. I have always dedicated myself to helping my classmates, so I know the difficulties that someone can face to understand things. What seems most important to me when teaching is to make students understand and understand the syllabus, so that later they are able to study it, retain it (learn!) and apply it, where appropriate, to any situation, even one of the daily life.

Pierre
Private lessons Maths, Physics, Chemistry all levels up to Bac --> Autonomy objective! (individual / group, face-to-face / video)
Student at the National School of Bridges and Roads, private teacher for 6 years, I offer to help your child take off in science subjects. I suggest that your child follow a methodology adapted to his profile and his objectives: -If he has difficulties in Maths Physics or Chemistry, the problem most often comes from a lack of understanding of the basics (a few targeted revisions are generally enough to get the boat back on the water). Otherwise there is certainly a lack of methods, attention or time in class or at home to properly assimilate the subtleties, private lessons are then a good way to remedy this. -If he wishes to deepen his knowledge to boost his grades, prepare for Preparatory Classes for the Grandes Ecoles, prepare for a competition or simply to become (the) best, then it is specific knowledge associated with rigorous methodologies that he must acquire. In the first case, it returns more tutoring, my courses are therefore based on the chapters seen in class, the understanding of these (and therefore the prerequisites for them), the verification of the exercises requested by the teacher always with a view to understanding (I generally ask that these exercises be carried out or at least started before my arrival), then the realization of additional exercises that the student will have to finish for the next lesson. In the second case, it is deepening, after having checked that the course is known and understood, I therefore directly teach the in-depth knowledge according to the objective, the working methods necessary for higher education, and additional exercises are to be done with me and for the next lesson. The student will have to show rigor because even if mathematics, physics or chemistry are much less complicated than we are led to believe, it does not fall from the sky! Parents are therefore involved in order to verify that what is requested before or after the session is indeed carried out. I am also available throughout the week by phone if the student has questions about the knowledge covered in previous or future sessions!
