Balthazar C.
FR:
Balthazar est titulaire d’un doctorat en mathématiques et informatique fondamentale, ainsi que de deux maîtrises — l’une en cryptographie, l’autre en didactique des mathématiques — de l’Université Paris-Saclay, en France. Il est également professeur agrégé de mathématiques, une distinction hautement sélective dans le système éducatif français.
Il possède une solide expérience de l’enseignement, tant à l’université qu’en classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles, où il a accompagné des étudiants dans des contextes académiques exigeants. Il a aussi enseigné à des élèves de niveaux variés, y compris dans un cadre de remise à niveau ou de soutien plus personnalisé.
Ses domaines de compétence vont des mathématiques du secondaire et de l’initiation à la programmation, jusqu’à des sujets universitaires plus avancés : algèbre linéaire, analyse, logique, algorithmes… Son parcours alliant mathématiques pures et appliquées lui permet de s’adapter aux objectifs et besoins de chaque élève : réussir un examen, revoir les bases ou approfondir un sujet plus complexe.
Parfaitement bilingue, Balthazar propose des cours en français ou en anglais. Il enseigne de manière claire, structurée et bienveillante, et aime accompagner ses élèves dans la construction de leur confiance et de leur autonomie.

Sarah J.
EN: From an early age, Sarah had a keen interest in law. The injustices she witnessed in her community and around the world motivated her to earn her high school diploma at College Saint-Louis, known for its global awareness and openness to world issues. Inspired by her volunteer work with Lachine’s Youth Council and Amnesty International, she went on to study Law, Society, and Justice at Dawson College. Her commitment to promoting fair treatment and equal opportunities led her to pursue further studies in law at the University of Montreal. In addition to her academic pursuits, Sarah developed a passion for volunteering. One of her volunteering experiences was tutoring French and math at her local library for several years. This allowed her to gain experience teaching children of all ages and adapting to their learning needs. She has tutored both elementary and high school French to her peers, as well as at the local library. She also helped her classmates and the kids at the library with their homework throughout her academic journey. Her tutoring experience taught her to be patient, tailor her approach to each student’s learning style, and build strong connections to support their success.
FR: Depuis son plus jeune âge, Sarah s’est vivement intéressée au droit. Les injustices qu’elle a observées dans sa communauté et dans le monde l’ont motivée à obtenir son diplôme d’études secondaires au Collège Saint-Louis, reconnu pour sa conscience globale et son ouverture aux enjeux mondiaux. Inspirée par son engagement bénévole au sein du Conseil jeunesse de Lachine et d’Amnistie internationale, elle a décidé de poursuivre ses études en Droit, Société et Justice au Collège Dawson. Son engagement envers la promotion de l’équité et de l’égalité des chances l’a ensuite encouragé à poursuivre des études de droit à l’Université de Montréal. En plus de ses objectifs académiques, Sarah a développé une passion pour le bénévolat. L’une de ses expériences a été de faire du tutorat en français et en mathématiques à la bibliothèque de son quartier pendant plusieurs années. Cette expérience lui a permis d’enseigner à des enfants de tous âges et d’adapter sa méthode à leurs besoins d’apprentissage. Elle a également donné des cours de français, tant au niveau primaire que secondaire, à ses pairs ainsi qu’à la bibliothèque. Tout au long de son parcours scolaire, elle a aidé ses camarades de classe et les enfants de la bibliothèque avec leurs devoirs. Son expérience en tutorat lui a appris à faire preuve de patience, à adapter son approche au style d’apprentissage de chaque élève et à créer des liens solides pour mieux les accompagner vers la réussite.
