Experienced teacher, tenured in the French public school system, more than 10 years of teaching, from primary school to high school

About

I am a primary school teacher, tenured in the French civil service, with more than 10 years of experience in the French national education system (Éducation nationale).

Throughout my career, I have taught at different levels of nursery and primary school, across all subjects in the curriculum. I have also worked in specialised classes, with pupils presenting in particular autism spectrum disorders or cognitive impairments.

For the past year, I have also been giving online private lessons to primary, middle school and high school students. I support students both in consolidating what they have learned and overcoming certain difficulties, as well as in deepening their knowledge or preparing for an exam.

I have already prepared several middle school students for the "Diplôme national du brevet" (the French middle school certificate), including students with autism spectrum disorders. I am currently continuing to support a high school student, whom I am preparing this year for the early written exams of the French baccalaureate in French.

I hold a master's degree in primary school teaching as well as a master's degree in Chinese, and I also have solid training in foreign languages, particularly English and Chinese.
My background in public education, specialised education and private tutoring now allows me to support students with very different profiles, from primary school to high school.

I would be delighted to put my experience to work for your child's success!

Teaching experience

10+ years of teaching

More than 10 years of experience teaching visual arts in primary school, as part of my role as a primary school teacher within the French national education system.
Designing and implementing lessons and artistic projects suited to different levels: drawing, painting, collage, working with shapes, colours, materials and volumes, discovering artworks and artists, and developing students' creativity and personal expression.

Teaching methods

Each student is different: in my opinion, there is therefore no single method that can suit everyone. My support is built according to the student's level, their learning pace, their strengths, their difficulties and their goals.

During the first lessons, I first try to understand precisely what is causing the problem. A difficulty may come from a poorly understood concept, weak foundations, a lack of method, a misunderstood instruction, or simply a lack of confidence. Identifying the source of the block makes it possible to offer work that is truly tailored.

~ How does a lesson work?

Depending on the student's needs, we can start by going back over a concept studied in class, reviewing homework or a test, preparing for an exam, or working directly on an identified difficulty.

I then explain the concept clearly and progressively, not hesitating to change my approach or use other examples when the first explanation is not enough.

The student then moves on to practice through progressive exercises, in order to check that they are able to apply what they have just understood on their own. Correcting mistakes is a full part of the learning process: I ask them to identify their errors, understand them, and, when necessary, restate the rule or reasoning used.

My goal is not simply for the student to find the right answer during the lesson, but for them to then be able to reproduce the approach on their own.

~ Developing real work methods ~

Beyond knowledge itself, I place great importance on methodology. Depending on the student's age and level, we work in particular on:

  • correctly understanding and analysing an instruction;
  • learning and memorising more effectively;
  • organising their work and revision;
  • writing precise and structured answers;
  • justifying reasoning;
  • identifying and correcting their own mistakes;
  • acquiring the specific methods expected in tests and exams.

For students preparing for an exam, the lessons progressively incorporate the methods, exercises and requirements specific to the exams, as well as regular practice to build efficiency and independence.

~ Teaching that adapts to the student ~

When a student does not understand, I believe it is not enough to simply repeat the same explanation. I look for another way to present the concept, break the steps down further, or offer intermediate exercises.

This ability to adapt is particularly important with students who have special educational needs, for whom the pace, the way instructions are presented, the amount of work, or the progression may require adjustments.

Finally, I favour a teaching approach that is caring but demanding: encouraging the student and highlighting their progress while gradually giving them the means to overcome their difficulties.

The long term goal is for them to need me less and less: to understand better, know how to work, gain confidence and gradually become independent in their learning.
