Interview with Samuel Falcou and Tristan Ducéré

ISAE-SUPAERO OSE tutoring programme

Tristan, can you tell us about your tutoring?

T.D. I wanted to be tutored because I want to have every chance of succeeding in my studies thanks to the homework help offered by ISAE-SUPAERO students. I’m also really motivated by the team spirit generated by tutoring!

My plans are to work on my specialities (Science-Economics and Social Studies, but also History-Geography-Geopolitics and Science-Politics) with as many people as possible so that they can help me, support me and give me their knowledge of these subjects.

My tutoring was carried out with a great deal of understanding and professionalism on the part of the tutors, but also on the part of the teachers around us. The ease with which the tutors are able to put themselves at our level increases our self-confidence and our desire to persevere.

What did you learn from this experience?

T.D. I’ve learnt that there’s strength in numbers and that helping each other is a good way of achieving your goals. Knowing that most of the tutors are young people like us reassures us and encourages us to work and continue our studies.

What message would you like to give to young people like yourself who might be hesitant about taking the plunge?

T.D. I’d tell them not to hesitate and that it brings a lot more than it asks. Tutoring is a much less formal form of learning than classroom lessons, as the tutors and teachers are not there to assess us but to help us.

After 2 years of preparatory studies in Lyon, Samuel Falcou, now a 2nd year student, explains why he got involved in tutoring high school students.

Why did you decide to get involved in a project like this?

S.F. Tutoring is an extremely rewarding activity for us.

In engineering school, you get a lot, but sometimes it’s good to be able to give something back, and that’s extremely enriching for us. We learn a lot from interacting with high school students whose backgrounds are very different from those we’ve come into contact with in our lives.

Because of the group atmosphere that develops as the tutoring progresses, the sessions always become a good time, and at no time are they perceived as drudgery.

What projects did you work on with Tristan? How did the tutoring go?

S.F. Tristan is a high school student who is very clear about what interests him, particularly in terms of his career. So I’ve had the opportunity to talk to him at length about this.

Last year, for the French oral at the baccalauréat, we took the time to work on it, and I’m sure we’ll do the same this year for the big oral.

The tutoring has always gone very well because the students are willing and we don’t need to push them to make an effort.

What support did OSE provide in this area?

S.F. OSE is essential to this tutoring project. It is already OSE that brings the tutors together and frames the tutoring arrangements. For example, they provide the tutors with bus tickets so that they can travel to the high schools free of charge.

Numerous unifying activities are also organised throughout the year, at no cost to the tutors or the pupils: a weekend in the mountains for the first-years, dedicated to the French oral, a weekend at the seaside for the final-years’ oral, and so on.

OSE provides an extremely beneficial presence, and everything that’s needed to make tutoring a great time for both students and tutors.

What have you gained from this experience?

S.F. First of all, at first glance, it’s about teaching. In fact, that’s the core job of a tutor when you’re helping with homework. But beyond that, a bond is created, thanks to our similar ages. As a result, I got to know several high school students as friends and I was able to talk with them, which helped me to question many things about subjects such as the French school system, equal opportunities and the place of studies in our society.

Testimonials from Alex Dejoie and Sofia Cardola, engineering and master in aerospace engineering students

ISAE-SUPAERO recently welcomed some 40 companies from a wide range of industrial and service sectors to its campus. These companies, represented by alumni and HR managers, were able to share internship and job opportunities with over 500 students in attendance. The event also provided an opportunity for privileged exchanges between students and professionals on current and future challenges and projects. These close encounters were particularly enriching, providing young talent with sound advice and a mutual understanding of needs and expectations! The Enterprise Village is a fantastic opportunity to forge links and develop your professional network, while at the same time widening the field of possibilities. Through this initiative, ISAE-SUPAERO, at the heart of our students' training, has reaffirmed its central role in guiding them towards the professional world.
