Présentation

I'm passionate about Chess and I try to impart the same passion to the learner. The sessions are informative, anecdotal and fun! I strongly believe Chess is not just a game, it's a way of thinking. Hence, the learner will be taught how to approach the game, strategize, think out of the box and develop general problem solving skills.

The learning plan will be structured in a systematic manner according to the needs and preferences of the learner. I offer both personalized 1-on-1 sessions and group sessions to facilitate collaborative learning.

People of all ages and nationality are welcome to contact me for chess lessons.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Le français: de la lecture à l'écriture en passant par les subtilités orthographiques, les conjugaisons et la grammaire ; maîtrisez la langue française et jonglez avec les mots.

Ma méthode porte sur l'expérimentation et le ludique de façon à mieux ancrer les bases et ensuite les explorer de façon personnalisée.

Niveau primaire ou secondaire, j'accompagne enfants ou adultes dans une mise à niveau, une remédiation une découverte ou un approfondissement de la langue ou même à une préparation à un examen. ( CEB, CE1D)

J'aide aussi aux devoirs, aux réalisations de dossiers (de présentation, de fin d'études -TFE, Memoire- ) ou aux à d'autres projets d'écriture : méthode, recherche, synthèse.

Philosophe, agrégée en philosophie, j'ai pu avoir l'expérience de l'enseignement en secondaire durant 7 années. Je suis maintenant formatrice privée et rédactrice.

Au plaisir de vous coacher,

Gaëlle

Homework support isn't about getting answers faster. It's about learning how to learn.
While some parents see homework as a battle, I see an opportunity: teaching your child how his brain actually works.

In this class, your child will learn:
✓ How to actually study: not "work harder," but use methods that stick (mind maps, spaced repetition, Pomodoro technique)
✓ Time management without stress: organizing a chaotic schedule without anxiety apps
✓ When to use AI wisely: ChatGPT and other tools as learning partners, not cheating shortcuts
✓ Skills that matter: clear communication, problem-solving like a real thinker, asking good questions
✓ Support in any subject: math, languages, science, humanities, whatever they struggle with

How it works:
We start by understanding how your child actually learns, we don't impose a system that doesn't work for him.
Then we build a toolkit: proven study methods, personal strategies, technology used intelligently, and the confidence that he can learn anything.

What they take home:
A study system that works for him, not for others. Techniques he uses across all subjects. And something more important: the belief that learning isn't something that happens to him — it's something he controls.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Personalized to his age, subjects, and pace.
For parents wondering "Why is homework still a battle?"

Let's rebuild the foundation
