Présentation

I always loved Science (particularly Biology) and - besides the obvious reference to Rosalind Franklin, Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace - I was greatly influenced by Desmond Morris, David Attenborough, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins and Paul Ekman. Their ability to question and to endure on a quest for the truth has always amazed me.
I am a Biologist with a Master's degree in the field of Education (focusing on Biology). I have been working in the field of Education and Adult Training since 2000. I believe that I am becoming a facilitator (rather than the chief protagonist) of my students’ education and learning experience. It is not just about what they know, but rather how they know it, and what they are planning to do with that data. I want to encourage students to become inquisitive problem-solvers and innovators. I also believe that teaching can also develop resilience, compassion and empathy, which are key-skills in our complex world. Recently, I started to develop a profound interest about mindfulness. As a mindfulness practitioner I feel and understand its benefits. So, I am inspired to take my knowledge and use my practice to benefit many.

Physics and chemistry are the gateway to understanding all sciences, as a science student you will need to be able to sort through the many complex features to become a true student scientist with a critical and curious mind. That's why I designed this course to help students prepare for their exams and the next school year to fill in the gaps they have in math and science.
I would like to inform you that I am a young researcher and I can also help you to acquire basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and other essential software for your career.

Souhaitez-vous adopter une nouvelle posture au quotidien et mettre en place des stratégies d’apprentissage efficaces ?
Avez-vous déjà pensé à vous faire accompagner par un coach durant votre formation ?
Enseignante en math-sciences depuis plus de 25 ans et formatrice dans des modules de communication et de travail en équipes, j’associe à ma pédagogie les outils du coaching, de la PNL, du brain gym et le mindmapping.
La relation enseignant/enseigné a un impact important sur la réussite scolaire. Dans cette optique, avoir une attitude coach pour moi, c’est accompagner l’élève ou l’étudiant, là où il se trouve, dans la bienveillance et sans jugement.
Les séances de coaching peuvent aider à améliorer l’apprentissage en faisant prendre conscience à l’apprenant de son propre mode de fonctionnement, de ses petites voix intérieures qui le sabotent et de ses peurs. Cette prise de conscience s’inscrit dans la voie du changement durable....
Les outils d’accompagnement permettent également à mieux gérer son temps et son stress.
Pour qui ?
Les jeunes nécessitant d’une remise à niveau ou d’un soutien méthodologique.
Les adultes en reprise de formation dans le cadre d’une recherche de qualification ou d’une reconversion professionnelle.
Séances en présentiel ou par webcam. Contactez-moi !

Mathematics is a key subject in the Baccalaureate exam and requires clear understanding and regular practice.
In this course, I help Bac students master mathematics step by step, following the official program. Lessons are explained in a simple and structured way, with many examples and exam-style exercises.
The course focuses on understanding methods, avoiding common mistakes, and gaining confidence to solve problems independently.
This class is suitable for students who want to improve their level, prepare seriously for the Bac exam, and achieve better results.

Are you stuck on an exercise, has a concept been piling up for several weeks, or do you simply want to get ahead to approach the year with peace of mind? I'm here for that.

I offer private lessons in mathematics, physics-chemistry and engineering sciences, from middle school to high school, all streams included (General, STI2D, STL).

My approach is simple: I adapt to your pace and your weaknesses, not the other way around. Each session begins by identifying what's really holding you back, then we rebuild the basics together, step by step, until the logic is clear and you can apply it on your own.

Whether it's to catch up, prepare for a test, get a better grade on the baccalaureate exam, or strengthen your problem-solving method, I make sure that every hour spent together is a truly useful hour.

- Clear explanation of concepts, without unnecessary jargon
- Exercises targeted at your weaknesses
- Reasoning methods reproducible in the exam
- Personalized follow-up from one session to the next
- Available in person or via videoconference

The authenticity of an exchange. In a society increasingly rooted in a competitive approach, where automated exchanges with Artificial Intelligence cannot replace the need for human interaction, this is precisely what we lack.
As a lawyer by training and an independent legal consultant, creating the Right to Knowledge is a breath of fresh air. This tutoring service is aimed directly at high school students who need to overcome any difficulties in studying the following subjects: French, Mathematics, Science, Philosophy, History, and Languages (English and Spanish).

Moreover, being currently preparing for the entrance exam to the National School of Magistrates and passionate about the beauty of multidisciplinary learning, the school program is being reviewed extremely regularly.

🎓 It is now necessary to elaborate somewhat on my experience:
4 years already dedicated to private lessons (which is significant) via the organization Complétude as well as independently (Law, French, Mathematics, Sciences, History and Languages), and this at all levels (primary, middle school, high school, university students and adults).

Regarding my teaching experience in legal subjects, I invite you to consult my other course offering dedicated to this subject and also published on Apprentus.

👋 What about my teaching approach, you might ask?
Beyond this desire for authenticity, it seems particularly crucial to dismantle the prejudices that poison the perception of students experiencing difficulties. To ensure the smooth running of this course and to help high school students feel as comfortable as possible, it is important to remember that the foundation of all conversation and understanding remains listening. Listening to one's equal, regardless of age.

💬 Wouldn't you be interested?
Please feel free to contact me by message and I remain available to discuss the frequency of classes and their modalities (in-person in Tours, videoconference and possibility of travel if necessary).

In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen of the high school system, it would be a real pleasure for me to support you as best I can on your path to success because, as its name suggests: you all have the Right to Knowledge! 😉
