Background

About Julien Valentin

Highly qualified chemistry educator with extensive experience in teaching and academic mentoring. As an agrégé in chemistry—a prestigious and competitive French certification encompassing both chemistry and physics—I bring a deep expertise to my role. I currently teach at a Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Écoles (CPGE), an elite preparatory program designed to prepare students for entry into top engineering schools in France. These programs are renowned for their rigorous academic standards and focus on advanced science and mathematics. I hold a PhD in Didactics and Epistemology of Chemistry, specializing in chemical bonding, while also maintaining a strong command of organic chemistry and general chemistry (university level). My teaching responsibilities include physics and chemistry at the undergraduate level (bac+2), and I have significant experience mentoring students for competitive events, such as the Chemistry Olympiads. With a comprehensive understanding of the French high school and university-level curricula in physics and chemistry, I support students in mastering complex concepts and achieving academic excellence. Recognized for my patience, rigor, and dedication, I have consistently guided students to successfully integrate into France’s most prestigious engineering schools.
