About Carole

Hello, bonjour!

I'm Carole, a bilingual French–English Davis® Facilitator based in Antibes. I work with children, teenagers and adults who think in pictures and who find reading, writing, maths or focusing harder than they should be. My aim is simple: to help each person turn confusion into clarity, and rediscover the confidence and joy of learning.

**How I found Davis**

My Davis journey began as a parent. In 2016, while we were living in London, my son was falling behind in reading and writing in English. After reading the gift of Dyslexia from Ron Davis, I got my son to follow the Davis® programme with a London facilitator. It changed everything: within a year he had caught up with his class, and he went on to love, and excel in, English literature. A few years later, in his final school year (première), he followed a Davis® maths programme. He got good grades in maths and pass his baccalauréat and got admitted at an computer science engineering school.

Then, I decided to follow a Davis® programme myself to see how it could help me as I always struggled to write reports which was important at the time in my job. It worked, today I write reports in French and English with ease, and without the stress and pain I used to feel. Finally seeing my stepson blossom through the Davis® maths programme, and recognise his own talents in art and creativity, finished to convinced me I had to contribute and help people to overcome their difficulties and reach their potential using Davis method.

**A different background**

Before becoming a facilitator, I spent more than 25 years as an engineer and petrophysicist in the international energy industry. I started on offshore drilling rigs in Angola and the North Sea, recruited engineers and technicians across Central Africa, and worked in the UK, Romania, Gabon and Congo. Along the way I trained and mentored many young professionals. That career taught me how to break complex ideas into clear, concrete steps, to adapt to each person in front of me, and to work with people from many cultures.

Helping others learn has always been part of my life. While living in Pointe-Noire, Congo, I tutored children from the local township after school and founded a community library, collecting books in France and building a team of volunteers to run it. Since 2023 I have also been a certified life coach, supporting people with self-esteem, emotions and lasting change.

**How I work**

Every Davis® programme is individual, one-to-one, and built around the person: their goals, their pace and their strengths. Rather than drilling what doesn't work, we start from what does: imagination, creativity and big-picture thinking. Clients learn simple tools to calm their mind and focus, then master the letters, words, symbols and concepts that used to cause confusion, by modelling them in clay. The result is not only better reading, writing or maths, but more confidence, clarity and calm.

I bring patience, kindness and a non-judgemental presence to every session. My greatest reward is the moment a client realises, *"I can do this,"* and the relief on a parent's face when they see it too.
