Experienced teacher in mathematics and French, adapted pedagogy, expertise in individualized tutoring and remote learning success

About

With 34 years of experience within the French national education system (Éducation nationale), I have been supporting students in mathematics and French for the past 3 years, providing personalized online teaching, both in France and internationally.

Having followed a demanding scientific path (preparatory classes in advanced mathematics, Maths Sup and Maths Spé) and trained in psychology, I combine rigor, clarity and kindness in my teaching. My goal is to strengthen fundamentals, develop autonomy and build each student's confidence within a structured and motivating framework.

Alongside my teaching work, I am also a writer and professional copywriter, which reinforces my expertise in written expression and linguistic precision.

Competitive longe-côte (aquatic walking) and yoga reflect values of perseverance, balance and discipline that I also pass on to my students.

Teaching experience

Primary school teacher, certified through the CRPE (Concours de Recrutement de Professeurs des Écoles), for 34 years within the French national education system, providing multidisciplinary primary education (mathematics, French, science, history-geography).

Supporting students with varied profiles (some with PPRE, personalized education plans), adapting my teaching practices to each student's specific needs, with particular attention to structured learning and individualized tutoring.

Served as head teacher (school director), developing skills in pedagogical coordination, organization and communication with families.

Since 2023, providing private tutoring from CP (first grade) to Troisième (ninth grade), in person (for two tutoring organizations in France) and via video conferencing (for a tutoring organization in Dubai), following a methodical, rigorous and supportive approach.

Teaching methods

  • I support students from CP (first grade) to Troisième (ninth grade), in person (for two tutoring organizations) and via video conferencing (for a tutoring organization based in Dubai).
  • I mainly offer support in mathematics and French, as well as in science and history-geography as needed.
  • My tutoring is aimed at students who wish to strengthen their fundamentals, deepen their knowledge or regain confidence in their work, particularly within the context of remote learning or international schooling.
  • My lessons take place via Google Meet, using Google Slides as interactive whiteboards.
  • These materials become true digital daily notebooks, which the student keeps for revision.
  • Each session is structured in three stages:
  • 1. Building or clarifying the lesson
  • Clear and progressive explanation
  • Highlighting the essential concepts to remember
  • Creating a written summary in the virtual notebook
  • 2. Active comprehension check
  • Targeted questions
  • Student rephrasing
  • Help with memorizing key elements
  • 3. Application and practice exercises
  • Graded exercises
  • Explained correction
  • Adjustment based on difficulties encountered
  • I place great importance on learning methodology: learning a lesson, understanding what is essential, knowing how to test oneself (developing autonomy).
  • My characteristics as a tutor:
  • Strong rigor and structured learning
  • Individualized tutoring and adaptation to the student's pace
  • A supportive and demanding work environment
  • Clear and regular communication with families
  • Development of autonomy and confidence
  • My goal is to help each student make lasting progress, giving them solid tools and an effective work method.
