Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

W. B. Yates

My name is Isabelle Montanaro. As an experienced educator and mother of two children, I understand the challenges and concerns that accompany parents in their children's educational journey. My professional career began 2000 after training as a primary teacher in Baldegg (Lucerne), followed by studying educational sciences at the University of Zurich.

Following WB Yeats' belief that "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire", I strive in my work as a teacher, lecturer and researcher to impart not just knowledge, but a passion for learning to ignite. From the classrooms of Zurich to projects and teaching assignments at the University of Zurich, the Graubünden University of Education and the Bern University of Education, I have always pursued the goal of improving educational opportunities and giving every child the opportunity to fully realize their potential. My research and teaching have taught me how critical a positive learning environment is to the development and well-being of our children. What is important is a supportive relationship between parents and children.

As parents, we all want our children to be is happy, learn confidently and thrive in school and beyond. I offer learning coaching for parents and children to achieve exactly that: to close learning gaps, develop learning strategies, strengthen your children's self-confidence and strengthen family relationships. My approach aims to not only improve academic skills, but also to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and personal growth.

I invite you to work together to create an environment in which your children can thrive. Together we can turn the challenges of learning into opportunities and create a positive future for our children.
