My name is Beryl and I'm a primary school teacher, currently retraining to become a speech therapist. I miss teaching during my studies: I would be delighted to provide in-person (or online) homework help!
My homework help offer is for students from CP to 3rd grade.
I am highly aware of learning difficulties and disabilities, if needed.
I have an excellent grasp of elementary school programs (CP to CM2), but also have the ability to navigate those of middle school in order to identify what is expected.
I offer homework help to avoid conflicts between you and your child, to reinforce their learning, to help them progress, to help them gain confidence, to free up your time because you speak another language at home... or for any other reason that is entirely your own!
I adapt to your needs: homework help (exercises or learning lessons), checking homework, having your child or young person read aloud to help them automate reading, re-explaining a difficult concept for them...
I can support you on an ad-hoc basis (if you are short on time for a short period, for example) or more regularly.
I don't really have a fixed lesson structure because I adapt to each student. However, I always start with your request, so you will begin the lesson and any homework. Throughout the lesson, I will follow up on what happens and address any concepts that are (or aren't) causing difficulty.
I have many tools in my teacher's bag (school programs, frequently encountered difficulties, explanations, different angles of approach, links with real life, materials and ideas for manipulation, mnemonic devices, ease in creating tailor-made systematic exercises, ability to use AI to best adapt exercises, textbooks of various levels... and above all my ability to adapt to your request!).
I don't hesitate to think outside the box, to move away from "classic" methods, in order to bring what seems relevant to me... and I dare to change and propose something else if I find that it doesn't work!
For example, I often take the liberty of transforming learning into challenges or games.
I also have equipment that I can bring, or even create.

As a primary school teacher, I know how to adapt to younger children and am familiar with the different stages of teaching and learning various concepts. Through various other experiences, I also know how to provide older students with what they need, both in terms of content and methodology.
The feedback from families at the school has always been very positive. I haven't yet had the opportunity to give private lessons or provide homework help, but I'm looking forward to it: I really enjoyed the APC (supplementary educational activities) sessions where I could help 3 students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, and progress from where they were, just as I really enjoy helping my friends when scientific concepts seem complicated to them!

Help can be provided on an occasional basis (if you're struggling with an exercise or lesson, or if you're temporarily unavailable to help your child with their homework) or more regularly. My schedule is flexible and may vary from week to week.
