Science lessons

Physics, chemistry, biology, understood step by step

Three subjects, one rule: the concept first, the formula second.

In science, memorising is never enough: you must understand the mechanism, then train on exam-style exercises. Our approach covers physics, chemistry and biology, from secondary school to the maturité, with a science teacher chosen for the student’s profile and tested before their first lesson.

01 · Why it matters

In science, rote learning betrays you

A student can recite the course and fail the test: science assesses application, not recitation.

Maths sits underneath

Physics and chemistry rest on calculation: a maths gap is paid for twice. We treat both together when needed.

The test format surprises

Multi-step exercises, data to sort, units to convert: the format is trained as much as the subject.

Delays pile up quickly

Each chapter builds on the previous one: acting early avoids chasing the syllabus.

The good news: science rewards method more than talent. A mechanism understood is a mechanism acquired.

02 · Our approach

How we teach science in Vevey, Lausanne and Montreux

In our canton of Vaud centres, no patching over: we repair the foundations, then build the reflexes.

01

Physics: the concept before the formula

A student who understands the phenomenon can find the formula; the reverse is never true. We rebuild in that order.

02

Chemistry: mechanisms, not rote

Balancing, dosing, predicting a reaction: mechanisms trained until they become reflexes.

03

Biology: structuring the volume

The subject is vast: we teach organising, diagramming and answering in the format the test expects.

The promise

Science can be understood.
Mechanism by mechanism.

Understand the concept, master the formula, pass the test: in that order, with method and regularity.

03 · By level

Support adapted to every stage

In Vevey as in Lausanne, the content follows the Vaud curriculum (PER) and adjusts to your child’s actual level, defined at the assessment.

01

Secondary I

Natural sciences: building experimental foundations and reasoning, preparing assessments.

02

Secondary II · gymnase

Maturité-level physics, chemistry and biology: rigour, formalism and exam-format training.

03

Vocational tracks

Targeted support following the school’s programme, connected to practice.

06 · Your questions

Frequently asked questions: science lessons

Do you offer a physics tutor in Vevey, Lausanne or Montreux?

Yes. We assign your child a physics teacher selected and tested before their first lesson, one-to-one or semi-private, at the centre, at home or online.

Do you offer a chemistry tutor?

Yes, from secondary school to the maturité: reactions, stoichiometry, mechanisms, with training in the format of your child’s school tests.

Do you offer a biology tutor?

Yes, from secondary school to the maturité: cell biology, genetics, and above all the method to organise and restitute a vast subject.

Up to which level do you support science?

Up to secondary II and the maturité, following the student’s school programme.

How much does a science lesson cost?

From CHF 70.-/h, depending on the formula chosen. All rates are listed in full transparency on our Pricing page.
