Supporting your child : Overcoming learning challenges or providing long term guidance?

Supporting your child : Overcoming learning challenges or providing long term guidance?

Hello My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders. Why This Specialization? Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system. Several factors can explain these obstacles: • Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information. • A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty. • Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions. Why Private Tutoring? I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom? I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange. As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting. What kind of support do I offer? 1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.). 2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization. 3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations. 4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers. 5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension. Methods and Tools 1. Creation of personalized teaching materials I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals. 2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking • I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods. • Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence. 3. Structured sessions and work organization I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm. Example of a French lesson: • Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises. • Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension. This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning. 4. Building independence Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized: • How to structure their notes to ease revision. • How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming. • How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work. We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams. Pricing and Follow-up Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials. A two-part pricing structure Each session includes two essential components: 1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange. 2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs. What does this provide? • Truly personalized follow-up • Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges. • In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session. Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

Hi! Welcome to my class on Python programming! As a PhD student in Geophysics my main tool is my computer. In order to do science one needs to know how to program. I use Python everyday in order to analyze data, run numerical models, plot results and much more. So, let's embark on the journey of learning Python and explore its diverse capabilities together! For beginners: I have designed it for absolute beginners to become at ease with the language within 5 sessions of 1h. Message me to know the 5 classes curriculum and I will be more than happy to share it with you! For intermediate users: If you already know the basics of Python but want to go more in-depth on certain packages this is the right place! Message me and we can discuss what your needs are! I am a professional user of Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, os, scipy and many more packages! Are you not sure Python is the right language for you? Check the following out and let me know if you have any questions! First of all, what is Python? According to its creator, Guido van Rossum, Python is a: “high-level programming language, and its core design philosophy is all about code readability and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in a few lines of code.” Learning Python is a rewarding experience for several reasons. Firstly, Python is inherently beautiful as a programming language, offering a natural and expressive way to translate your thoughts into code. Its readability and simplicity make coding an enjoyable and intuitive process. The Python language finds applications across various domains, including data science, web development, machine learning and AI. For example, platforms like Quora, Pinterest, and Spotify leverage Python for their backend web development! This versatility makes Python a powerful tool for those eager to delve into different aspects of programming. If this caught your curiosity message me and I'll make you a Python hero! Welcome to the community!

“ I had the great privilege of having Sofia preparing me for a competitive international orchestra audition in November 2022. During the brief time we had for the preparation, Sofia has not only shown thorough understanding of violin techniques - from the fundamentals to the more virtuosic - but also a command of the whole spectrum of musical expressions, both of which she was able to convey with clarity and effectively. Furthermore, due to her extensive experience in performances/auditions, she identified my strengths and weaknesses immediately from the start and designed a strategic practice plan specifically for me, which helped me improve rapidly within our short time frame and maxed out my performance at the audition. She is a rare teacher who is encouraging and shares the students’ passions, without compromising critical judgement in any flaws in performance, giving me a realistic assessment of my abilities and a great sense of security before the audition. Musical matters aside - she is a caring, warm, and passionate person who does not hesitate to mobilise all her resources to help me -intellectually or otherwise, despite her busy schedule. I honestly could not have completed my audition without the advice and confidence she gave me. 10/10 would recommend. ”

“ Nick's approach is patient and thorough, informative and imaginative as well. He always comes up with his own examples in order to test my knowledge on a given exercise and helps me get to the answer at my own pace, rather than handing it to me. He doesn't use a one-size-fits-all method, but rather tailors his lesson in order to get out my full potential, even in a field I find difficult. He makes himself available for additional questions and is overall great to work with! ”

“ Zeljana is very good teacher. She immediately found flows in my guitar technique during first lesson, which I know that I'm doing, but it was too uncomfortable for me to change my bad habits before. She shows me the best ways how to improve over it. After first lesson I can already feel that I can progress enourmously with her tutoring. Lesson are very comfortable. You don't need to feel nervous at all. Finally I can very recommend Zeljana. ”
