Foundations For Learning
We are a not-for-profit organisation providing education & learning support to English-speaking families in Basel & Zürich.
We believe in providing firm foundations for unique ways of learning.
We are excited to announce our Teaching Assistant training course is back by popular demand! This course is open to anyone interested in becoming a Teaching Assistant and current TAs looking to improve their skills. Each workshop is hosted on a Saturday by one of FFL's specialist practitioners. You'll gain insight and strategies to support students in key areas such as attention, speech and language, math, reading and motivation.
