Private lessons in mathematics - sciences - chemistry - French

From 76 € /h

Graduate of EPFL in Environmental Sciences and Engineering, with a specialization in water, soil and ecosystem engineering, I offer individualized support to fill gaps in mathematics (analysis, linear algebra, numerical analysis, probability) and/or or in other basic sciences (chemistry, environmental sciences, etc.). As a part-time correspondent for a French-speaking daily newspaper, I can also provide support in French, for all types of editorial work.

Having been a regular substitute for almost two years - including five months of class mastery - in a college in the Lausanne region, I know how to demonstrate pedagogy and adapt as best as possible to the difficulties encountered by the students, in order to offer them the method of learning best suited to their needs, all while combining rigor and good humor :)

Extra information

Classes can be given in French as well as in English. For German, however, you will have to be patient... :)

About Me

My passion for mathematics dates back to my earliest childhood. As a kid, I never stopped counting, everywhere, all the time. Far from diminishing as I grew up, this passion grew stronger. It was therefore quite natural that my choice fell on EPFL, once I had obtained my gymnasium maturity. During my years of university studies, I was able to perfect my knowledge in this field, but also to help many groups of students during assistantship sessions. Once this course was finished, it was in a college in the Lausanne region that I finally put my bag down for almost two months, as a substitute teacher.

Aware that mathematics has a heavy reputation behind it, populating the nights of many people with nightmares and prematurely graying many hairs, I have been striving for several years to show that this subject is in reality much less obscure than so many people don't think so, and that the multiple daily applications that result from it are well worth learning once and for all how to derive this damn function :)

In parallel with these studies, and in order to make my gymnasium studies in Latin fruitful, I have been working for more than six years in the sports editorial staff of a daily newspaper in French-speaking Switzerland. I am therefore also perfectly prepared to provide you with my support for any type of editorial exercise.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.
