When my daughter was born, I started looking into alternative education and even evaluated homeschooling. After some research and experimenting, I ended up adopting a hybrid approach.

My kids still go to school, but I pick them up in the afternoon and tutor them from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Since they are trained, they are not fatigued when they finish school. Instead, they are excited about doing learning activities outside with their dad.

Our learning activities are mostly different sports, reading in different languages, music, and STEM. As I couldn’t find a comprehensive guide on how to teach kids most of these skills, I started experimenting with different approaches and techniques.

My philosophy is to bond with kids and educate through learning. I help children acquire a variety of skills so they can become better learners, discover their passions, and quickly adapt to change—or even become agents of change themselves. They also learn positive values, behaviors, and attitudes.

Learning isn’t always easy, but struggles help us build deeper bonds. In the end, kids are always proud of and grateful for everything they’ve learned, as they feel more empowered, resourceful, and self-confident.
