Jonathan Décaillet

My name is Jonathan Décaillet and I am currently in the last year of my training to become a primary school teacher at the teacher training college. I have many years of experience in tutoring. In addition to individual lessons, I have also accompanied and led high school preparatory courses and group lessons. I have taught children of all ages and school cycles. Due to my current training, I naturally also have general teaching experience in a class setting and have also acted as a substitute teacher from time to time. I also have a bachelor's degree in geography. In my free time, I love playing chess, hiking and traveling, doing sports in general (volleyball, cycling), reading and learning new languages. I also spend a lot of time with my family and friends. In general, I am very inquisitive, curious, patient and open. When you spend time in classrooms, the heterogeneity between individuals quickly becomes apparent. Every child has different prerequisites and needs differentiated and individual approaches to knowledge. Every child also brings with them a different amount of prior knowledge and preconceptions and it is the teacher's job to understand and build on these. Ultimately, every child also brings with them different interests and experiences of life and here too it is the teacher's job to build on these. Tutoring and lessons should therefore be individual and tailored. Knowledge is constructed by the learner and not by the teacher. Being competent means knowing something, being able to apply and transfer something and wanting something. Motivation is therefore at the heart of learning. A good relationship between the learner and the teacher is a key prerequisite for being able to offer good lessons.
