Montreal — Secondary, CÉGEP and University
Private physics tutor in Montreal with 10+ years of experience. I work with secondary school students, CÉGEP students in Sciences de la nature (NYA, NYB, NYC), and first-year university students at McGill and Concordia. Also available for French AEFE students in Spécialité Physique-Chimie at Lycée Marie de France and Collège Stanislas.
Physics at the secondary level (Science and Technology, Environmental Science and Technology, optional Physics in Secondary 5). Forces, motion, electricity, optics. Preparation for ministerial exams and continuous support during the year.
All three physics courses in the Sciences de la nature program: Mechanics (NYA), Electricity and Magnetism (NYB), Waves and Modern Physics (NYC). These courses derail many students; I work in depth on each topic before the exam.
First-year university physics: McGill PHYS 101 (Mechanics) and PHYS 102 (Electricity and Magnetism), Concordia PHYS 204 / 205. Problem sets, midterm and final preparation, conceptual clarity behind each formula.
For students at Lycée Marie de France and Collège Stanislas in Montreal: I cover the full Spécialité Physique-Chimie curriculum in Première and Terminale and prepare students for the Baccalauréat written and practical exams.
I hold a French Baccalauréat with a specialization in mathematics and physics-chemistry, a B.Sc. from McGill in Computer Science, Finance and Mathematics, and an M.Sc. in Applied Computer Science from Concordia. I have tutored physics in Montreal for over 10 years across secondary school, CÉGEP and university.
Physics requires understanding the concepts before writing the equations. I always start with the physical meaning of a phenomenon, then move to the mathematical formalism. Students remember a formula they understand far better than one they recite.
The first session is always a diagnostic. I ask about current chapters, the topics causing trouble, and the student's goals (catching up, preparing a midterm, getting ahead). This sets up a session plan adapted to the student, without wasting time on what is already solid.
Each session follows three steps: a review of misunderstood concepts, progressive exercises from simple to complex, and full problems applied to recent assignments or past exams. I spend time on the physical meaning before introducing equations. A student who understands why a formula applies will retain it far better than one who memorizes it.
Physics rewards regular work. A single cram session before an exam can help, but real progress comes from consistent weekly sessions. I assign exercises between sessions so what we cover together gets reinforced.
Yes. I tutor all three CÉGEP physics courses: Mechanics (NYA), Electricity and Magnetism (NYB) and Waves and Modern Physics (NYC). I work with students at Dawson, Vanier, Marianopolis, John Abbott and the francophone CÉGEPs, adapting to each instructor's notes and exams.
Yes. I tutor McGill PHYS 101 (Mechanics) and PHYS 102 (Electricity and Magnetism), and Concordia PHYS 204 / 205. I cover problem sets, midterm and final preparation, and explain the underlying physics so students can solve new problems, not just memorize patterns.
Yes. I tutor physics online via Microsoft Teams with a shared digital whiteboard for writing equations, drawing free-body diagrams and solving problems live. In-person sessions are also available in Montreal.
Yes. For students at Lycée Marie de France and Collège Stanislas, I prepare the full Spécialité Physique-Chimie curriculum and the Baccalauréat written and practical exams. I work on past papers, answer structure, and the chapters most frequently tested in Terminale.
