Private tutoring
Mathematics, one to one
Private mathematics — and physics-chemistry — lessons over video, from middle school to the gates of the prépas. Twelve years of teaching, one method: find where the marks are lost, then take them back one by one.
My method
Not extra lessons. Academic strategy.
A lesson with me is not going over the textbook again. It is understanding where the student loses marks, why, and closing the gap between their actual level and what their school — and their ambitions — demand.
I teach these curricula from the inside: the French maths specialism, maths expertes, bilingual and international tracks — EJM, Saint-Germain, Franklin, École Alsacienne. I know how their tests are built, what examiners reward, and where students arriving from a foreign system struggle.
Every session aims at something measurable: the average that recovers, the distinction, the file that opens EPFL, Polytechnique or an elite prépa.
Subjects
What I teach
The heart of my teaching
Mathematics
From middle school to maths expertes and ahead into the prépa syllabus. Proofs, analysis, algebra — the French curriculum taught to the standard of the best lycées.
Physics & chemistry
The second subject, held to the same standard: rigorous scientific writing, dimensional analysis, setting up equations. The level the prépas and EPFL expect.
Prépa & entrance preparation
Working ahead into the MPSI and PCSI syllabus. Methodological grounding for students aiming at Ginette, Louis-le-Grand, Henri IV.
SAT & standardised tests
Targeted SAT Math preparation — my students' average score: 780. Strategy, timing, exam-type exercises.
Who this is for
Profiles I know well
Returning from abroad
A student arriving from an IB, American or British system. A gap in French maths, and proof-writing methodology to catch up on.
A demanding lycée track
At EJM, Saint-Germain, Franklin, the Alsacienne — or any school with a heavy programme. Dense syllabus, ambitious post-bac goal.
Targeted post-bac preparation
A student aiming for EPFL, Polytechnique, an Ivy League or an elite prépa. Every mark counts in the file.
In practice
How it starts
You write to me
Current level, school, objective. Three lines are enough.
We take stock
A conversation to place the student precisely and set a realistic course.
Lessons begin
Over video, one to one, at the pace the objective demands.
Greg has been working with Max since 9th grade. It started just to bring up his math grades, then he quickly took over the bigger picture — course choices, specializations, the application. We honestly didn't think Louis-le-Grand was within reach. Max starts there in September.
What comes next
Families come for the maths. They stay for the strategy.
For twelve years I have also guided applications to the most selective universities — the UK, the US, Switzerland — and the elite prépas. Once the marks are there, the real question becomes: which doors should they open?

A diagnosis first
I always start with a conversation: current level, school, objectives. From there I propose a working plan — and we begin. Lessons take place over video, one to one.
