My lessons are constructed and taught along three axis:
1) Tailoring. Pupils with disabilities require teaching sequences adapted to their individual needs as, each individual has different learning capabilities and tools.Thus, I make sure my teaching is tailored to the specific needs of my pupil.
2) Engaging and fun. I am convinced teaching and learning are more effective when both the teacher and the pupil feel engaged in the lesson.
3) Centered on critical thinking. History, geography and social sciences are ideal platforms for engaging in debates and thus critical thinking. Critical thinking is the tool that enables one to engage succesfully with the world, and oneself.
Over the course of my 2 years teaching, I have focused my lessons on the following subjects (amongst others): deforestation, slavery, the dangers of internet, mushrooms and dinosaurs.
I tend to make the way my lessons are taught as diversified and fun as possible. Using various tools to teach: visits to museums or events, documentaries, games, sculpture, debates, etc.
On several occasions, I have had pupils coming up to my desk after or before class to further discuss the topic currently taught. Often bringing about additional information they have discovered doing their own research at home. As a teacher, their is nothing I love more as this is exactly what I aim: to spike curiosity in the students I teach.

About Me
Hello, I am Valentin, 28 years old from Belgium.
I grew up in various countries in Africa and Oceania. This means I am open minded and feel comfortable in different cultural settings.
My passion has always been natural. Making sure future generations get the opportunity to live within a healthy planet is my number one priority.
As such, I am currently working as a volunteer in a private Conservancy in Kenya. Managing local human wildlife conflict here.
From my experience and understanding, I know today's society can be tough to navigate. Thus, through teaching history, geography and social sciences I wish to engage my pupils in debates that bring about critical thinking. Critical thinking, is I believe, the right tool to understand the forces in play and a necessary step towards a serene spirit.
On my leisure time I fancy hiking, drawing, reading books and cultural visits.
