famfoe supports families in their everyday life together with a particular focus on the children. Learning conditions in today’s educational system are often not ideal. Families in a functioning environment can as a rule compensate for this. Families under stress and strain often don’t manage to strike this balance. Children from such families not only have to bear the strain within the family, they also have poorer conditions in school and in their leisure time. The project “Lerncoaching” concentrates individually on children who have difficult learning conditions and increases their will to learn and motivation.
 
The focus is on a very personal support for the child and his or her family. Many educational institutions do not have the possibility of providing individual help. However, learning is a process that requires a personal orientation. Thanks to the support of the Auerbach Foundation famfoe can accommodate the needs of the supervised children in small groups or in individual sessions: private coaching can fill in the gaps or deficits in their knowledge. Younger children learn to pay attention and improve their learning techniques. Teenagers, despite their sometimes difficult family situation, can develop their own ideas and aims for their future.
