Understanding the course, redoing the exercises, passing the exam

In the first year, maths changes in nature. The pace is faster, proofs replace standard exercises, and lectures are given to hundreds of students. Many discover in January that they followed along without understanding.

The coach starts from the syllabus and past exam papers. They go back over the concepts that block, then have the student redo the exercises without help, until they can solve them alone.

With their coach, the student works on calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, in science, civil engineering, economics or medicine.

By field

Maths, depending on your field

The same course title covers very different content from one faculty to another.


Science and civil engineering

Single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, with a high demand for rigour.


Economics and management

Functions, derivatives and optimisation, financial mathematics, then statistics and probability.


Medicine and social sciences

Brushing up basic maths, descriptive and inferential statistics, reading results.

Maths in higher education: your questions

From €40/h. A maths programme can combine support during the term with a few more frequent sessions before the exam: your educational advisor sends you a quote, with no obligation.

Yes. In maths, a fail often comes from a few poorly understood chapters that block others: the coach identifies them from the June paper and the syllabus, then goes back over them in order. Start as soon as the results are out.

Your educational advisor chooses a coach who masters the subject at this level. Bring your syllabus and past exams to the first session: the coach builds the programme from them.

Yes. Form a group of at least two students with the same level and goals, then contact us: we will set up a tailored programme.

The course with Olivier was very good and helpful, even we had only sheduled 8 hours in order to prepare the exam he managed to go through the complex material and both explain and do exercises. Olivier knows the contents of Statistics by heart, and due to his good knowledge he is capable of explaining thoroughly the issues, he has a good teaching approach, demanding also input from the student, he can even explain the very tricky specialities of statistics and could also give good hints how to perform the exam in a good way, as we are still waiting for the result of the exam from University I can state that Noël felt much better prepared and secure. He did a large amount of excercises with Olivier. We are very happy that My Sherpa could organize this good teach and we can recommend him to any other family and student. Olivier is a friendly person, and besides hard working can be also good for a joke. Currently there are no further exams planned in that area, but should we ever be obliged to get support, we will contact My Sherpa, because there we know we get a good service, thanks again
