Hello,
My name is Beryl and I am a primary school teacher, retraining to become a speech therapist.
After a scientific baccalaureate, I completed a degree in mathematics and computer science before becoming a primary school teacher.
During my current studies to become a speech therapist, I miss teaching: I would be delighted to help you progress in math (or in science: physics, chemistry, life and earth sciences), whether globally or by helping you overcome a specific challenge.
My courses are suitable for students of all ages and academic levels:
- From CP to CM2 (Extensive mastery of concepts, curricula, possible approaches, and potential difficulties, thanks to my profession)
- Middle and high school, general or vocational (Mastery of concepts + ability to navigate the curricula... moreover, teaching methods and a caring approach are easily generalizable from primary to other levels! I also have the opportunity to help students of these ages progress in leisure activities in which I volunteer)
- Students:
* Non-core math subjects (biology degree, speech therapy, and need for help with statistics...)
* "Main" maths: linear algebra, analysis, logic, geometry in space... to be discussed depending on the specific concept that is causing you trouble, I will then tell you honestly whether I am able to help you or not!
I still love math and teaching, and I have an excellent foundation thanks to my degree in mathematics and computer science. My teaching experience, even though it was at the primary level, allows me to teach at all levels because the teaching skills I acquired are generalizable.
I adapt to your needs: homework help, help with exercises, explanations of difficult concepts, all kinds of exercises at your school level...
I can assist you on an occasional or more regular basis.
I don't really have a fixed session structure because I adapt to each student. However, I always start with your request, so you'll begin the lesson. Throughout the lesson, I'll build on what you bring to the table and what you find challenging (or not).
I have many tools in my teacher's bag (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 the 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!
As a primary school teacher, I know how to adapt to younger children and am familiar with the different stages of teaching and learning mathematics. Through various other experiences, I also know how to provide older students with what they need, whether in terms of content or methodology.
The feedback from families at the school has always been very positive. I haven't had the opportunity to give private lessons yet, 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!
I offer lessons via video call or at your home (Rennes).
Lessons can be one-off (if you're struggling with a particular concept) or more regular. My schedule is flexible and may vary from week to week.
Feel free to contact me if you think I can help you!
Looking forward to getting in touch with you!
