Skillz is a modern
“state of the art”
center located in a
charming French-colonial building in the heart of Gemmayzé


Skillz opened its doors in February 2013 and is owned and managed by Hélène de Ridder and Yoka Nassar.
We offer a variety of educational programs and workshops, and host meetings, private gatherings and cultural events.
Skillz's mission is to make learning an enjoyable activity in an intellectually stimulating environment, and empower individuals of all ages to pursue and achieve their personal educational goals.
We employ a team of competent teachers and trainers who encourage you to become an active learner and develop habits that will turn you into lifelong learners.
At Skillz, we believe in Cooperative Learning. Cooperative learning happens when individuals are actively engaged in their learning process and work in a team with their teacher to accomplish a shared goal.
Too often learning is a solitary process and another of our aims is to make a difference in the way learning takes place.
“One is never too old to learn” is another of our beliefs, which is why we have opened the doors of Skillz to senior citizens.
Our oldest student to date, Truus (83), who enrolled in our iPad course, is now very comfortable with her iPad and is totally up to date.
