Experience & Creative Approach
With over 15 years of experience in education, child protection, and project management across Europe and Africa, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to create engaging and effective learning experiences for children and adults. My background includes a bilingual Master’s degree in International Management, Education, and Training, and extensive work as a private tutor for all ages. I have a strong track record of developing educational materials and training others to implement them, which has allowed me to cultivate a dynamic approach to teaching.
My work in education is characterized by creativity, adaptability, and a focus on making learning fun. Over the years, I’ve realized that students—especially children—learn best when the material is engaging, interactive, and relatable. This has led me to develop innovative educational programs that blend storytelling with skill development.
Creative Program Based on Storytelling
To make language learning enjoyable and effective, I created a unique method based on the adventures of Pierre, a little aviator, and his magical fox, Etoile. Through Pierre’s exciting journeys to different countries, children not only learn language skills but also explore cultures, geography, and different ways of life. This method is a reflection of my passion for travel, meeting new people, and exploring cultures, which I’ve incorporated into my teaching to inspire curiosity and a love of learning.
Every chapter of the story focuses on developing essential language skills—grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and listening—while keeping children fully immersed in Pierre’s adventures. This fun, story-driven approach allows learners to connect language acquisition with Pierre’s travels, making the experience both meaningful and motivating. The program is built to align with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), ensuring that it meets key learning objectives at each proficiency level. It’s designed not only to provide structure for tutors in their classes but also to deliver fun, engaging lessons that support progressive skill development.
Strengths in Creating Fun and Effective Learning Materials
- Story-Driven Learning: My program is designed around a continuous story that engages learners by combining adventure with language learning. This makes learning immersive and interactive.
- Personalization and Creativity: I keep creating materials that are adaptable for different learning levels and interests, ensuring that each student finds the lessons enjoyable and relatable.
- Experience with Diverse Learners: Having worked in multicultural environments in Europe and Africa, I’m able to design materials that resonate with diverse groups of learners, fostering both learning and cultural curiosity.
- Focus on Fun and Interaction: My materials emphasize fun through interactive games, activities, and creative exercises that help students feel connected to the content, making it easier to learn and retain information.
This method is not only about language; it’s about sparking a passion for discovery, culture, and creativity, which has always been central to my teaching philosophy.
