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.
