About Leo
Hello and welcome to my listing! My name is Léo Fontayne, I'm 25 years old, and I hold a Master’s degree in theoretical physics from Stockholm University. I offer tutoring in mathematics and physics–chemistry for middle school and high school levels, in French or English — your choice!
My path has been quite unusual. Diagnosed with ADHD in middle school, school was far from enjoyable. I was rarely encouraged to believe in myself. With strong support from my loved ones, I set off to pursue my dreams after completing a vocational high school degree in hospitality. It took me a year to catch up academically and join the Faculty of Sciences in Bordeaux.
I am passionate about my studies, and that is undoubtedly what brought me this far. It has never been easy, and I believe that’s what makes me a good teacher. I’ve gone through all the small struggles, and I remember very well how to overcome them. I love sharing with passion what I’ve proudly learned, and I would be very happy to offer support to those who need it in turn.
I invite you to take a look at my CV

During tutoring sessions, I give the student the tools to practice, understand, and solve any physics problem with the mindset of a physicist who questions and explores. Beyond providing help, I support the student through their doubts, misunderstandings, and setbacks, encouraging them to face them without getting discouraged, because that’s the only way to make progress. Whenever possible, I create opportunities for them to regain confidence, with the goal of helping them recover a sense of autonomy in their studies.
Practically speaking, at the beginning of each session, I ask the student to give me a summary of what was covered in class as if they were the teacher, and to express any potential misunderstandings. This effort generally sheds light on part of the problem, strengthens memory, and helps me identify the level at which I should position myself. I then provide the necessary support through clear explanations, illustrations, and examples. I am patient and do not hesitate to rephrase things from a different angle if difficulties persist.
After that, we generally move on to applying the lesson through exercises. I guide the student in analyzing the problem, choosing an appropriate method, using the relevant tools, and performing their own self-correction. I highlight every small improvement—which often goes unnoticed when one focuses only on failure—hoping that they will later apply positive thinking patterns on their own during independent practice. Learning from mistakes and moving forward without letting discouragement take over, while being kind to oneself and drawing motivation from the opportunity failure offers to improve—that is what makes the difference. Making mistakes is not a big deal — I also needed tutoring teachers.
Finally, I usually end the session with a brief debriefing to make sure everything is clear and that the student feels ready to move forward on solid foundations.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Léo :-)

Perfect! Léo est passionné par les mathématiques. Il est patient et très pédagogue. Les cours ont été vraiment profitables. Un grand merci à lui !
Perfect! Mon fils et nous avons trouvé que Léo était très compétent , très pédagogue et humain .
Il a su après deux heures de élément redonner confiance et motivé mon fils qui se sentait en échec scolaire .
Mon fils a adoré son approche bienveillante et l’efficacité de sa methologie de travail . De toute évidence c’est la transmission de sa passion qui anime ce professeur .- Louen s’est montré d’un esprit percutant et proactif pendant 2heures avec une concentration sans faille. Il a su identifier et exprimer ses incompréhensions et il a cherché de lui-même une sélection d’exercice qu’il souhaitait parcourir avec mon accompagnement. Qu’il poursuive ses efforts, il est tout à fait capable !Leo's response :

Léo est un super prof, passionné, hyper calé dans son domaine des sciences et surtout sa pédagogie permet de rendre tout problème complexe au départ totalement clair et accessible ! C’est une immense force pour un prof, le sourire, la douceur et la bienveillance en plus
Leo est notre camarade de classe en Licence Physique-Maths. Il nous a été, à toute la classe, d'une grande aide dans nos propres revisions, non seulement par sa pédagogie (capacité à communiquer de l'information, d'un tempérament calme, agréable, et sérieux), mais aussi par son savoir faire.
Leo est un passionné des sciences, à savoir les mathématiques, la physique, la chimie, l'informatique. Il s'y a donne énormément pour se satisfaire Intellectuellement, mais également pour aider les autres. La maîtrise de sa matière, les compétences didactiques et pédagogiques, la capacité de construire une relation sereine avec les élèves et leurs familles et enfin avoir confiance dans le potentiel des élèves à progresser font de Leo un superprof que je recommanderais à tout jeune désireux de réussir son parcours scolaire.
Léo est un jeune professeur qui selon moi est apte à enseigner, il est très pédagogue et parvient à expliquer clairement les notions qu'il enseigne aux autres et également à nous les faire apprendre. Il m'a déjà aidé plusieurs fois sur nos cours en commun. Ainsi, je ne peux que fortement le recommander aux autres élèves.
Léo est une personne digne de confiance, très patient et pédagogue. Passionné par ce qu'il raconte, il saura utiliser des thermes simples et adaptés à tous.
Toujours passionné et patient,
Prend le temps de bien expliquer et de s'assurer que l'on intègre correctement toutes les notions à acquérir.
Leo est un grand pédagogue qui adore apprendre mais aussi partager ses connaissances.
