I consider myself particularly lucky to have been taught Physics and Chemistry by Sébastien Bréard. I owe my genuine fascination for the sciences to his pedagogy that made the material come alive with insightful lectures. His ability to answer any question – from the most abstract astronomy to the more detailed quantum physics – never seized to amaze me.

During my time as a student, Sébastien Bréard influenced me as someone who carries himself in a humble upmost respectable manner, leads students to discover and fulfill their potential. Long before the "Serment d'Archimède" was introduced to me as an EPFL graduate, Sébastien ensured we gained an understanding of the engineer ethical commitment very early in our curriculum (CPGE, EPFL, CERN).

I certify that Sébastien Bréard holds a master's degree in Quantum Physics and Nuclear Physics, plus a CAPES (title to teach obtained after competitive university examinations) and the Agrégation Externe in Physics which gives him the highest possible rank of any fully-fledged teacher entitled to teaching both at secondary level (high school) and in higher education like universities and which is the French equivalent of a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, and Education.

This demonstrates his academic excellence and an ability to teach Physics and Chemistry at any level, particulary at university level.

I can attest to Sébastien Bréard's outstanding and thoughtful work, his seriousness, and his involvement to serve and support our students leading them to success. As the Head of Physics and Chemistry Department at the LFIGP – the biggest French School in the Middle East – and Physics and Chemistry teacher principally in grade 12, Sebastien presents a very rich and extensive career which is a major asset for our School. I particularly note his experiences in University or Engineering School (INSA at Lyon) and for high-level athletes of French Skiing Teams. The posture he has developed, since his arrival at the LFIGP five years ago, has remained firm and solid and of very high quality. Besides his rigorousness, he is a teacher with very strong working capacities, who looks for challenges and shows ambition for his students. He represents an essential reference both for the Physics and Chemistry Department and for his peers thanks to his expert knowledge. Students who are lucky to be with him will have strong knowledge and competencies in Physics and Chemistry. His students and their parents trust him and he also knows how to build strong and demanding and respectful relationships with them.

From 2018 to 2020, during my last two years at the LFIGP where Sebastien Bréard was my teacher, he was able to make me understand and enjoy chemistry and physics classes which most probably made me pursue the chemistry path I am following today. Sébastien prepared us very well for the exams to come and our future studies. I can testify that my classmates and I were looking forward to his classes. He did a fine job at simplifying chemistry and physics with analogies whilst retaining the essence of the course. He also started handing out concise summaries of the key information and exercises early in the year. It helped us understand the challenges of the course and gave us the proper tools to face them. During the beginning of the pandemic, he adapted the format of his classes to an online class that was still interesting and modified the content to match our future studies as requested by the students. Furthermore, he guided me with choices of universities and helped with the administration procedures. He put me in touch with some of his previous students that went to EPFL and Imperial College London as they were my two main options. I believe Sebastien has kept good relationships with his previous students and it can be very helpful to his future pupils. He sometimes contacts me to answer questions for his current students who are interested in going to my university. Ultimately, these qualities combine to make Sebastien a very thoughtful, passionate and motivating professor which is why I heartily recommend him.

Sébastien Bréard was my Physics and Chemsitry teacher back in high school (11th grade). It was thanks to him that I enjoyed the subject as he was always able to break down very hard concepts into smaller parts that are easy to understand. What made Sébastien different from other teachers was the depth of his knowledge in the subject: he would always teach us some fun facts and give us tips and tricks on how to remember things to do well on the exam. In fact, here I am in my second year of university still remembering the first three lines of the periodic table thanks to him! Finally, Sébastien was always very patient, which made me comfortable to ask questions whenever I felt lost, as he would repeat his explanations until I understood it all.

I had the great opportunity to have Sébastien Bréard was my Physics teacher when I was in College du Leman. He was my teacher in 10th grade so what he taught us was more of an introductory class to Physics to learn about the basics which then developed into more complex courses. But he was great at explaining the concepts for us to understand and was always there when we needed his help. Sébastien made learning Physics easy, which was especially important at such a young age, and filled the class with his enthusiasm and passion of teaching.

I had the opportunity of attending Sébastien Bréard's classes during my senior year in high school, and I can vouch for his extraordinary ability to teach, motivate, and inspire his students. Because of his exceptional subject-matter expertise, he is able to make tough physics and chemistry concepts interesting and approachable for all students. His lessons are well-organized and include helpful and pertinent examples. His sense of humor and method of explanation make the lessons engaging and dynamic. Sébastien encouraged us to give our all throughout the year and was always available to answer our questions and offer guidance. He was committed to the success and achievements of each one of his student and taught us to push our limits and never give up during exams.

I had the pleasure of having Sébastien Bréard was my senior year Physics and Chemistry instructor.

What immediately stood out to me was how passionate he was about his subject matter.

While the class was daunting, Sébastien had a unique approach to teaching, often illustrating complex topics with intuitive examples from everyday life.

For instance, one "fun fact" that Sébastien shared with us is that the etymology of the word "vinaigre" (vinegar) comes from "vin" and "aigre", which means "sour wine".

While I did not pursue a scientific degree in university, I continue to appreciate Sébastien's class and everything that he has taught me.

Outre son expertise dans le domaine scientifique, Sébastien Bréard fait preuve d'une qualité intrinsèque à l'enseignement : la pédagogie. En effet, l'ambiance générale, les explications, la participation des élèves permettent de cerner et de comprendre les notions abordées. Dès que cela s'avère nécessaire, Sébastien n'hésite pas à les reprendre pour ne laisser personne derrière. De plus, il éveille et suscite l'intérêt des élèves quant aux enjeux futurs de la société pour apporter du concret aux cours.

Professor Sébastien Bréard was my Physics teacher in high school. He has always been very passionate, strongly involved, and able to share his passion with his students, while teaching rigor and precision. After 15 to 20 years I still remember some very interesting Physics facts he took as illustrations for his class (from physical wave travelling along spaghetti to multiple size snowballs falling at equal speed!). He is the reason why I chose to continue into this field and to get a Master of Science. Sébastien also offered me and a few students in the class to prepare for an optional competitive exam (the French “Concours Général”), which was an amazing experience and a very good preparation for higher education. I thank him for what he taught me in high school and for giving me the taste for Physics, and I strongly recommend him.

Je considère Sébastien comme l’un des trois professeurs les plus brillants de toute ma scolarité, du primaire au diplôme d’ingénieur. Au lycée Victor Bérard de Morez (France), Sébastien était le professeur que tout le monde espérait retrouver l’année suivante. Il a marqué ma scolarité par la qualité de son enseignement mais également par sa passion à transmettre. Il a toujours mis un point d’honneur à s’assurer que les concepts étaient compris par tous avant d’avancer dans les complexités. Sébastien sait faire naître l’intérêt pour la Physique-Chimie chez tout le monde, grâce à des expériences inédites et ludiques ou grâce à de judicieux parallèles avec la vie de tous les jours. L’ambiance dans ses cours est toujours excellente et j’en garde d’excellents souvenirs. En plus de la qualité de ses cours, le niveau de la classe en Physique-Chimie était excellent.
