For my kids’ education I wanted a school where they could have fun learning plenty of real life skills. A place where enthusiastic teachers could help kids discover and become passionate about anything. Become resourceful, develop initiative, intuition, creativity, self-confidence and soft skills. Needless to say I couldn’t find such a place. Perhaps because it would require one teacher for every student given the complexity of any real life skill, or enthusiastic teachers skilful in a broad range of disciplines, or because nobody would take the risk of kids being injured, or because we don’t have a method for teaching kids complex skills… 

At first I thought of home schooling my kids to educate them through learning but, when I noticed that they saturate after 1-3 hours of intense learning per day, I decided to adopt an hybrid approach. They still go to school and I tutor my kids after school from 3 to 6pm. Since they are trained they are not exhausted when they finish school, instead excited about doing plenty of empowering learning activities outside with their dad.

In this blog I am sharing some of the important things I have learned while tutoring my kids. I believe they could be helpful for parents who want to help kids learn new things and for private tutors who would like to teach kids effectively and increase kids’ engagement.
