If your child (primary / cycle / college) is in difficulty or failing school I can provide support in the form of homework help, organization of work and also in the form of more specific courses in French, maths , German, geography and history in case of gaps. I am convinced that all children can succeed and be happy at school if we find the tools and means necessary for each of them.

I am a mature owner and have mostly worked with children between 8 and 16 years, dyslexic, host class or foreign mother tongue but also with children who just need a hand. Above all, I could give your child confidence in themselves, the ability to work better (more effectively) and thereby improve their grades or assessment and feel good at school.

I work mainly on the long term trying to provide continuous support during the year.

I am at your disposal if you want more information

Hello, I offer to help you:

-sort and classify overdue usual documents
-create one or more binders in order to classify these documents and not fall behind
-create a routine so that you no longer feel overwhelmed
-Make contact with various services in order to find papers or find arrangements
-Establish an order of priority in order to gradually return to a comfortable situation

After a phone or real meeting that is used to analyze the situation and get to know each other, I propose an action plan.
Then, more often than not, I receive all the documents at home and sort and classify them.
After that, another real interview where I explain the new organization if there is one, or I give advice on organization and optimization.

Depending on the length of the process, there is regular monitoring. In addition, TOTAL DISCRETION IS ENSURED.

I am used to offering this kind of service and I can no longer count the number of people who have contacted me in an embarrassing or delicate situation. I look forward to helping you in a warm and efficient atmosphere.

As a qualified teacher with experience in primary, secondary, high school, and vocational education, and a Master's degree in German studies, I adopt a pedagogical approach based on the development of linguistic and transversal skills. The objective of my teaching is not limited to simple language acquisition, but aims for lasting, functional, and contextualized mastery of German.

What is competence-oriented learning?
A student is proficient in German when he or she is able to:
✔ Mobilize your knowledge: rely on your knowledge or independently search for the necessary information.
✔ Understand and use linguistic and cultural concepts: express ideas clearly and use appropriate vocabulary and structures in various situations.
✔ Solve problems and accomplish tasks: Use linguistic, communication and cultural skills to analyze, understand and respond to situations effectively.
✔ Plan and organize your work: establish learning strategies, make appropriate decisions and demonstrate perseverance and rigor.
✔ Adopt an active and methodical approach: use varied learning strategies and exploit educational opportunities in an autonomous and thoughtful manner.
✔ Working collaboratively: interacting with others, cooperating and adapting skills to different contexts and modes of communication.

Active and Interactive Pedagogy
My approach is based on dynamic teaching methods, which encourage active student involvement:
📖 Contextualized learning: real-life situations, case studies and exploration of authentic documents.
🗣 Development of oral and written skills: dialogues, role plays, written production and text analysis.
🌍 Intercultural approach: discovery of German-speaking cultures through literature, history and the media.
🛠 Learning strategies and autonomy: using effective methods to memorize, structure ideas and express yourself with confidence.
🔍 Formative assessment and differentiated support: personalized monitoring allowing each student to progress at their own pace and according to their needs.

Teaching Objectives
🎯 Develop strong language skills for fluent and relevant communication.
🎯 Promote student autonomy by giving them the methodological tools to learn effectively.
🎯 Encourage a reflective and critical approach to linguistic and cultural content.
🎯 Prepare students for academic and professional requirements (exams, certifications, multilingual professional contexts).

This competence-oriented approach allows us to go beyond passive language learning to use it as a lever for communication, reflection, and cultural integration. It develops in students not only linguistic knowledge, but also the ability to adapt and learn independently, essential in a constantly changing world.

This course is designed for absolute beginners or learners with limited knowledge of Chinese. It focuses on essential vocabulary and everyday expressions to help students communicate confidently in real-life situations. Through scenario-based dialogues, role-plays, listening practice, and basic character recognition, students will gradually improve their speaking and listening skills. By the end of the course, learners will be able to handle common interactions such as shopping, ordering food, greeting people, and asking for directions. The course emphasizes interactivity and practicality, aiming to build a strong foundation for effective communication in Chinese.

Personalized approach based on the student and their specific difficulties, consolidation of learning, repetition techniques, learning methodology to gain autonomy and ease.
