I am currently completing a dual Master’s degree at MIT in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and Technology & Policy, following a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Physics from École Polytechnique, where I graduated with honors. My academic training is deeply quantitative, with a strong foundation in calculus, linear algebra, probability, differential equations, and physics. I have applied this background through research in quantum information science, numerical modeling, and experimental physics, which has strengthened both my problem-solving skills and my ability to explain complex concepts clearly. I was also awarded the FAWCO Foundation Scholarship for Women in STEM.

I have over three years of tutoring experience in mathematics and physics, working with high school students in both one-on-one and online settings. In these sessions, I have helped students significantly improve their performance, including raising grades by up to 20%. My teaching approach focuses on building intuition first—ensuring students understand the “why” behind concepts—before moving to structured problem-solving and exam preparation. I provide targeted practice materials and strategies to build both competence and confidence.

In addition to individual tutoring, I have taught in broader educational contexts. Through an MIT outreach program, I taught introductory quantum mechanics to > 150 high school students in South Africa and Botswana. I have also mentored students in mathematics competitions in France and supported peers in university-level coursework. These experiences have allowed me to work with a wide range of ages and learning styles, across classroom, small-group, and individualized settings.

My goal as a tutor is not only to help students succeed academically, but to help them develop confidence and ownership over the material. I believe that with strong fundamentals and clear guidance, subjects like math and physics can become both accessible and engaging.

I am a native French speaker who grew up in France and completed my undergraduate studies in Mathematics and Physics at École Polytechnique. I have experience explaining technical concepts clearly through teaching and mentoring, including leading educational programs and tutoring quantitative subjects. My academic background allows me to support students in both conversational and academic French, including scientific and technical vocabulary. I focus on clarity, structure, and building student confidence in speaking and writing.
