Zooanthropology, or On Becoming Cultural with Non-human Animals

Zooanthropology, or On Becoming Cultural with Non-human Animals

What if human culture is not exclusively human? Zooanthropology, or On Becoming Cultural with Non-human Animals is an introductory 10-lesson course exploring the relationship between humans and other animals and asking a fundamental question: how much of what we call “culture” has actually emerged through our relationships with other species? The course offers a different perspective. Rather than considering culture an exclusively human achievement, zooanthropology understands it as something that has emerged through relationships, encounters and exchanges between species. Other animals are not simply objects of human knowledge or resources for human development: they are subjects who have influenced, shaped and transformed us. This perspective invites us to reconsider our own position in the world and to question some deeply rooted assumptions about the supposed boundary between humans and other animals. It also encourages us to decentre our perspective and to become more attentive to forms of intelligence, communication, emotion, learning and relationship that do not seem to resemble our own. The course is transdisciplinary, drawing on anthropology, philosophy, ethology and other fields. Along the way, you will encounter concepts such as intersubjectivity, epiphany, hybridisation and epimelesis, among many others. But don't be intimidated by the terminology! No previous knowledge of anthropology, philosophy, ethology or zooanthropology is required. What the course does require is curiosity, an interest in human–nonhuman animal relations, and a willingness to question some familiar ideas and look at the world from a less anthropocentric perspective. Slides and a bibliography will be provided.

Latin tutoring for secondary school students and adults – grammar, translation and exam preparation

Latin tutoring for secondary school students and adults – grammar, translation and exam preparation

I offer individual Latin lessons for secondary school and Gymnasium students as well as adults who are preparing for a Latin examination. Lessons are adapted to the learner’s current level, school materials and specific examination requirements. The focus can include: • Latin grammar and morphology • Verb forms, participles, gerund and gerundive • Pronouns and case functions • Syntax and sentence analysis • Translation strategies • Vocabulary and efficient use of dictionaries • Reading and interpretation of original Latin texts • Preparation for school tests and final examinations • Individual preparation for Latin examinations at university or in adult education For students, I can work directly with their school textbook, worksheets and current reading material. For examination preparation, we can systematically identify gaps in grammar and develop an individual study plan. My academic background includes Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Vienna as well as completed coursework in Classical Philology (Latin). This academic background, together with my teaching experience, allows me to explain Latin grammar systematically and to make connections with German and the Romance languages. I provide structured explanations, individual exercises and additional digital learning materials where useful. Lessons are available online and in person in Liechtenstein and selected locations in eastern Switzerland.

English language with a native speaker (British, RP)

English language with a native speaker (British, RP)

English language has become more than just a language. It is a presumed matter of modern culture and a basic tool for - everything. I am offering this language part, as a person who was born in UK, with a tone of clear and precise standard British accent (Received pronunciation, King'sEnglish, Oxford English) and with a sound of British culture and history. I act therefore as an accent coach as well along with teaching grammar and conversation practice. Since I am a Croat (and have spoken both Croatian and English since birth) I offer Croatian language classes as well and up to the very same high standards (grammar explanations, conversation practice and the standard accent guidance). So I speak Croatian using the language standard accent as spoken in the State official informing services, Universities and Institutions. Maths is the third subject I can help you with and which I deal with (as an Architect I have studied Maths as well). There are three things I'd like to say... - Maths is a game, using brain gymnastics, a responsible discipline applied everywhere, universaly used and one of the most important ones, but still a game and with similar joy it keeps inside of itself released when one is winning or solvng a Maths problem... - the most beautiful and elegant and almost always the shortest, as so, solution is - the best one - and that is both for what I mostly seek for and teach for regarding Maths.. - and third but not less important is a message - Maths is actually more simple than one, who fears, often thinks it to be ! Along with being an optimist the best way to be free of fear is - to start learning on time and being regular with it.

Advanced Physics, Optics & Photonics for University & Engineering Students

Advanced Physics, Optics & Photonics for University & Engineering Students

I offer personalized university-level support in Advanced Physics, Optics, and Photonics for undergraduate, Master’s, and engineering students. Lessons are adapted to the student’s academic program, level, objectives, and specific difficulties, whether the goal is to better understand a course, solve exercises and problems, prepare for exams, or explore an advanced topic in greater depth. Depending on the student’s curriculum and needs, lessons can cover: ¤ Advanced Physics — classical mechanics, electromagnetism, waves and vibrations, thermodynamics, statistical physics, quantum physics, atomic physics, solid-state physics, and materials science ¤ Optics — geometrical optics, physical optics, interference, diffraction, polarization, Fourier optics, electromagnetic waves, spectroscopy, and optical instrumentation ¤ Photonics — lasers, optical fibers, optical communications, photodetection, electro-optic modulation, nonlinear optics, optical metrology, and free-space optical systems My approach focuses on developing a deep understanding of the physical principles behind equations and models rather than simply applying formulas. I help students connect mathematical formalism with physical intuition, analyze unfamiliar problems, identify the appropriate methods, and construct solutions logically step by step. I hold a PhD in Physics, with a specialization in optics, photonics, optical metrology, and space applications. My doctoral research at Université Côte d’Azur and the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, through a research program co-funded by CNES, focused on the development and experimental validation of a 10 Gb/s free-space optical system over a 5 km atmospheric link. My academic and research experience allows me to combine theoretical explanations with concrete examples from experimental physics, optical instrumentation, laser systems, telecommunications, and scientific research.

Violin lessons for all levels: Technique, sound and expression

Violin lessons for all levels: Technique, sound and expression

Every student picks up the violin for a different reason — some want to finally play the piece they've always loved, others are preparing for a conservatory audition, and many are simply curious and want to see where the instrument takes them. Lessons here start from that goal, not from a fixed method: a hobbyist and a future professional need very different things, and the plan adjusts as progress happens. The core focus is classical technique — posture, bow control, intonation, and musical phrasing — built on training from some of the most respected names in the violin world today, including masterclasses with Olivier Charlier, Marc Danel, and Sarah Kapustin. Chamber music and orchestral playing are a particular strength, drawn from active experience performing in string quartets and symphony orchestras, so students preparing for ensemble playing or exams get guidance that comes from real stage experience, not just theory. The first lesson is relaxed and low-pressure: it's mainly about listening, watching how you already play (or, if you're a complete beginner, how you hold the instrument), and understanding what you want to get out of lessons. From there, the first few real lessons focus on solid fundamentals — a comfortable, sustainable technique from day one prevents bad habits later. Regular short practice between lessons matters far more than long, occasional sessions, and having a well-adjusted instrument (even a modest one) makes that daily practice much easier — advice on setup and equipment is always part of the conversation if needed. Behind the teaching is a violinist who recently finalized Master's degree in Classical Music Performance at Codarts Rotterdam under Gordan Nikolic and Goran Gribajcevic with highest marks, following a Bachelor's degree from the Conservatorio Superior de les Illes Balears. Teaching experience runs alongside an active performing career — including work as an academist with the Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears and as a member of a professional string quartet — so lessons stay grounded in what actually works on stage. Classes are available in English, Spanish, and Catalan.
