Hi, I’m Ziane! I hold a PhD in physics and the French agrégation in physics, a highly selective national certification for teaching at the high school and university level. Over the past 15 years, I have taught and tutored students in physics, math, chemistry, and biology across several countries and in both English and French. My teaching experience includes one-on-one tutoring, small group sessions, and full classroom instruction. In the U.S., I taught introductory physics courses at the University of Minnesota, and I have also guided students in advanced scientific research projects.
I work with students at many levels, from high school algebra, biology, chemistry and physics, to graduate-level physics and engineering. My approach combines clear structure with active engagement: I prepare a solid lesson plan, but I keep students involved by asking questions, inviting them to explain their reasoning, and challenging their understanding. Lessons become a real dialogue rather than a one-way lecture. My students consistently praise my ability to break down complex ideas into simple, accessible steps and to adapt my explanations to their level of understanding.
Having taught in diverse settings and in two languages, I am skilled at adjusting to different learning styles and helping both native and non-native English speakers succeed. I believe that the beauty of science, and physics in particular, should be shared—especially with students who are still building their understanding of the forces that shape our world.
I enjoy helping students grow in both skills and confidence. I welcome any resources or suggestions from students or parents, and I always provide clear and prompt communication. Feel free to reach out—I respond quickly—and we can plan your learning journey together.
