Dear reader, if you are a student, please:
Be curious! And ask all questions you may have. There are not stupid questions, just stupid peaple who keep their questions to themselves!
Do not be afraid of mistakes! They are great to understand the difficulties.
Don't blindly believe your teacher. Everybody makes mistakes. Keep a critical mind, and if you hesitate, ask questions!
If you are lost, ask questions!
... And, the most important, do not forget to have fun!
General comments:
-
I don't like to give the results passively to my students, I prefer they find them themselves by being guided "invisibly" by me. Ideally, my courses are driven by their questions and mistakes. I think that making mistakes is one of the most powerful ways to learn something. It helps the students (and the teacher!) to highlight the things they should focus on.
-
Visualization, as well as putting theoretical concepts into practice, are also very important to me.
In the future (moreorless near, depending on my time disponibilities), I plan to flood this page with plenty of tools to play with and assimilate or illustrate
some of the problems and concepts I cover in my lessons.
-
Last but not least, I am a big fan of science popularization, especially for young (e.g., high-school or college) audiences. That is why I am very excited to have joined
the CultureMATH-IREM research group, and you will maybe find some science popularization stuff in this website soon.
-
... and to go further, in the long term, I would really like to find a way how to involve high-school students into the world of research (for example by making thematical seminars for them, proposing them a supervision for their projects, etc.). I was lucky to benefit of this kind of things as a high-school student, and these experiences helps me to this day. So I would definitely like to "give it back".
My teaching experience
I find it somehow pointless to provide a complete list of all classes I have participated in. Nevertheless, if you would like to have it for some reason,
just check my CV.
-
As an assistant professor, I have a usual service of 192 hours per year.
-
I am/have been so far mainly involved in algorithmic, decision, optimization or programming classes.
- I was a teaching assistant during my PhD thesis (192h in 3 years). During these years, we went through the COVID-19 pandemic and I benefited from two maternity leaves.
As a consequence, my teaching experience was quite particular: Because of the COVID-19, I could experiment classical face-to-face teaching, completely remote courses as well as hybrid courses.
Because of my maternity leaves, I had to fit my hours into 3 semesters instead of 6. To sum up, this experience was not as various as I would wish in terms of given lectures, but it was quite various in
terms of different situations and particularities to deal with.

Prior to that, I was one of the main organizer of The Logical Olympiad in The Central Bohemian Region (from 2013 to 2015). It is a competition in logic tasks intended for children and young people in the Czech Republic, organized by Mensa Czech Republic. The identification of hidden talents is one of its goals.
-
... and I also participated in several mathematical seminars or summer schools for high-school students.
