Hello,

I offer tutoring classes for school children in primary school.

I got my federal degree in 1999, and worked for 15 years in a pediatric ward at HUG.

I will start the sciences of education to become a teacher.

I had the opportunity to work with children with academic difficulties, as well as deficits in attention. To help them better, I have developed fun and varied methods that have proven themselves.

I sincerely believe that every child is different and needs support and listening so that they can adapt their way of working and gain confidence in their abilities.

I remain available for any further information!

cordially
Extra information
I offer classes of 60 minutes, but also 45 minutes or even 30 minutes, because each child is different from the time of concentration that he can have. I propose to adapt to your child and to modify the time of lesson according to his needs and yours.

About Me
I like helping children to trust themselves. There are different ways to study. It is sometimes difficult to find how to work constructively. My goal is to help the student to acquire his own way of working.

I am patient and I adapt easily.
Education
I obtained my federal maturity in modern languages. I then graduated as a radiology technician and worked for 15 years in pediatric radiotherapy with children of all ages. I am a mother of three children from 9-11 and 13 years old who I followed for homework and with whom I found fun methods. I also helped many other children. It made me want to become a teacher. I will therefore change course and resume my studies.
Experience / Qualifications
I have often helped children in school trouble, some with deficits of attention. As part of my work at the hospital, I had to adapt to each child to create a bond of trust. I am very patient and attentive.

💻 Videoconference courses, from the orientation cycle to the final year of high school.

There's a phrase I hear in almost every first session: "In class I understand, but when I'm faced with the worksheet I don't know where to start."

It's not a question of academic level. It's that no one has ever taught students to recognize the type of problem they're facing. One function exercise looks like another, but the method isn't the same—and until this sorting happens automatically, each exercise starts from scratch. This sorting is what I work on first, even before reviewing the lesson.

🎓 I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics) and have been tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I have worked with numerous students in the Swiss system, as well as in French, Belgian, and international programs.

📚 What I cover, canton by canton

The vocabulary varies from one canton to another, so let's be precise:

✏Geneva and Fribourg — orientation cycle (grades 9 to 11 HarmoS), preparation for entry into secondary school, then the four years of secondary school up to graduation
✏Vaud — pre-gymnasium and general tracks, preparation for the ECR exams, transition to gymnasium, then the three years of gymnasium
✏Neuchâtel — cycle 3, then high school
✏Valais — orientation cycle, then college
Preparation for the Matura exam, all specific options

🔍 How I work

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly aimed at assessing the level of the student in order to identify the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work needed, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay in regular contact with the student's class teacher to monitor their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

✨ Why this profession

My favorite moment is when a student starts explaining their approach aloud without me having asked anything. It means they're no longer trying to guess what I expect—they're thinking. The rest always follows.

🗣️ Lessons in French or English. Response within the day.

"We need to go back to basics." Okay. But which ones?

When a student gets stuck on functions, the difficulty may stem from the chapter itself... or from a calculation rule they never truly understand. My work begins by identifying what's preventing them from progressing.

We are working on his lessons, exercises and tests to prepare for upcoming deadlines, while also reviewing the concepts he is missing.

CONCRETE FOLLOW-UP WITH CONSTELLATION

I developed Constellation, my tool for tracking math skills. I use it to keep a precise view of the concepts acquired, those to consolidate, and the work done from one session to the next.

For example: if a student understands the method of an equation but makes a mistake with fractions, we target this difficulty, then we return to the equation to check that he can proceed on his own.

The tool helps me choose the exercises and explain to you what we are working on, why we are working on it, and what progress is being made.

DURING CLASSES

• We are reviewing the points in the course that remain unclear.
• The student searches, explains their approach and learns to check their answers.
• We work on exercises tailored to his difficulties and objectives.
• We prepare for tests and exams: reasoning, writing, method and time management.

I support students from 6th grade to 12th grade: occasional difficulties, accumulated gaps in knowledge, preparation for the brevet or baccalaureate, or the desire to go further.

Lessons take place via video conference or at home around Douvaine. They can be given in French or English.

We start with a recent exercise or test to get to know each other, identify initial difficulties, and define priorities.

To contact me, simply indicate your child's class, what problem they are currently experiencing, and your availability. You do not need to know the cause of their difficulties yourself.
