Tuition in Math - Physics - Chemistry - BiologyGraduated and Experienced for more than 18 years, I give private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Chemistry - Biology, Geology to students of French program of Terminales, patent and secondary or international program IB in English (Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) or entrance exams and medical university preparatory classes or 1st and 2nd university years for the academic year 2022/2023 either at home or by internet online by a very modern and professional method much better than webcam and better than on site.
The online method is easily done by a link that serves as a writing board, typing and projection more than Skype or Zoom talking about which we communicate. This method is very modernized and reliable (it's like we are in the same place) for more than 6 years I have been working by this method.
The results of my students and in particular the students of Terminale are superb with successes in mention very good and good and sometimes excellent.
