Paths of the past: Exploring History and the Humanities.

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 87 C$ /h

With this course I want to make available to anyone the knowledge acquired over 20 years teaching history courses in colleges and universities. History and humanism are my passion and I take great pleasure in sharing this passion through enjoyable and entertaining lessons, always supported by appropriate audiovisual resources. This course aims to cover the topics that the student wants to know and/or delve into.
History is an educational experience that allows students to explore and understand humanity's past. By emphasizing significant events and analyzing how these factors have influenced the evolution of society and civilization we can understand how the decisions and actions of the past have shaped the world we live in today.

You understand a little Spanish, but when it comes time to speak, the words don't come?
That is precisely what we are going to work on.

Argentinian and experienced Spanish teacher, I offer lively and personalized lessons to start speaking, gain fluency and use Spanish in real situations: traveling, working, settling in a Spanish-speaking country or simply being able to finally hold a conversation.

My method combines conversation, useful vocabulary, and grammar, without turning the lesson into a series of school exercises. We work from concrete situations, short texts, images, press articles, music, or audiovisual documents, according to your interests and objectives.

The courses are suitable for both beginners and people who already know Spanish but wish to feel more comfortable speaking it.

I can also assist you with:

prepare for a trip or a move to Spain or Latin America;
discover the particularities of Spanish in Latin America and the Río de la Plata;
improve conversation and pronunciation;
review the grammatical basics without losing sight of communication;
Academic support and exam preparation.

I hold two Master's degrees from France (Hispanic Studies and Media, Images and Society) and taught Spanish for several years in the French national education system, at the middle and high school levels. I have also worked in the fields of culture, film, and journalism.

Each student has a different objective: the course is built around yours.

Courses in Geneva or online. See you soon!

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

History is the vector that allows us to better understand our society, the world in which we live. It is essential for general culture. The level of the course will adapt to the level of the student, from primary to university. It is also possible to adapt it in relation to an exam or competition to be taken, or to a person wishing to complete their general knowledge on a particular subject.

In my third year of the history faculty at the Jean Moulin Lyon III University, I plan to enroll in a master's degree in medieval history. I want to write a research paper on the French and the Mongols in the 13th century. I would like to go on to write a thesis on the theme of Mongol incursions into Japan (1274 and 1281).
The sessions will aim to deepen or discover concepts about a period. I am comfortable with the era: medieval (especially from the 12th-13th century), modern (it all depends on the region and the century) as well as prehistory.
I am able to establish a progression curve, as well as adapt the lessons according to the need or simply in relation to the expectations of the student. If necessary, repetitions and accentuations on knowledge can take place.
Since I am not yet at the apotheosis of my studies, I will only offer these services to beginners or students (up to high school or first year of history school at the "maximum").
I can also offer help for tests related to the history dissertation or text commentaries, very famous and predominant exercises in studies in the history faculty.

I am a historian and researcher with a strong international academic background and extensive teaching experience with secondary school, sixth form, and university students. I trained at both the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, and I hold two master’s degrees in History. I am also an undergraduate and master’s awardee.

For several years, I have taught private History lessons and provided tutoring to students across different levels and educational systems, including GCSE, A-Level, IB, and university, both in person and online. I have experience preparing students for official exams, developing source analysis skills, essay writing, study organisation, and a deeper understanding of complex historical processes. I have also worked as a supervisor and teacher at the University of Cambridge, teaching university students in small-group settings.

I help students not only improve their grades, but also develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and confidence in their studies. Thanks to my international experience and my background working in multicultural contexts, I am able to adapt my teaching to a wide range of student profiles, supporting both those who need reinforcement and those aiming for academic excellence.

Hi! I'm someone who loves learning and talking about culture, and I offer casual tutoring sessions for anyone who wants to explore the world of film, art, music, and history in an enjoyable and relaxed way.

If you're curious about cinema beyond the latest blockbusters, we can dive into art house films and discover directors like Ingmar Bergman, Kurosawa, Haneke, Andrei Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Agnès Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, David Lynch, or Wong Kar-wai. Whether you're just getting started or already a film lover, we can discuss storytelling, symbolism, cinematography, and the ideas behind great movies.

Art is another passion of mine. We can explore the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Francisco Goya, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, Edward Hopper, and many others. Together, we'll look at different artistic movements, from the Renaissance to Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and contemporary art.

. If classical music interests you, we can explore the masterpieces of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, and Stravinsky, learning how their music shaped history and still influences artists today.

History connects everything. From Ancient Greece and Rome to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the French Revolution, World War I and II, the Cold War, and modern global events, we can explore the people, ideas, and moments that changed the world.

My tutoring style is friendly, interactive, and based on conversation rather than memorization. I believe learning should be enjoyable, inspiring, and adapted to your interests. Whether you're preparing for school, improving your English through cultural topics, or simply expanding your knowledge for fun, I'm happy to help.

No pressure, no boring lectures, just interesting conversations, great recommendations, and the chance to discover some of the most fascinating works of human creativity together.

Together we will prepare a lesson to discover or reinforce previously acquired knowledge.
The idea is to learn effectively through privileged dialogue, a space where all questions are welcome.
We will focus on a particular school of thought or philosopher in order to be prepared by the end of the year!

I offer personal online lessons in art history and visual culture for students, beginners and curious adult learners. My teaching style is conversational, supportive and adapted to your interests or study goals.

Together, we can explore the classical canon of art history, analyse individual artworks, prepare for exams or essays, or focus on a specific artist, period or movement. I place strong emphasis on understanding artworks through the context of their time, historical thinking and different ways of interpretation, including approaches inspired by the Vienna School of Art History.

I have around 10 years of teaching experience and currently teach visual culture and art history at secondary school level. My goal is to help you look at art with more confidence, curiosity and depth.

GCSE History is the study of key events, influential people, and significant changes that have shaped Britain and the wider world over time. It explores important historical periods, conflicts, political developments, and social change while helping students understand how the past has influenced the present. The course develops strong analytical and critical thinking skills by encouraging students to examine a range of historical sources, evaluate evidence, compare different interpretations, and construct well-supported, structured arguments. It also strengthens research, communication, and essay-writing skills, enabling students to present clear, balanced, and evidence-based conclusions.

Are you developing an art portfolio, preparing an application, or trying to understand where to take your artistic practice next?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience in exhibitions, residencies, research and teaching. I offer individual mentoring for students, emerging artists and established practitioners who want to develop a stronger, more coherent and personal body of work.

Sessions can focus on portfolio development, selecting and editing work, developing concepts, identifying recurring interests, strengthening your artistic voice, researching references, writing about your work and preparing applications for art schools, BA/BFA and MFA programmes, residencies, grants, exhibitions and other professional opportunities.

We can also work together if you feel stuck, disconnected from your practice or unsure how to move from isolated works or ideas toward a meaningful body of work.

My approach combines close discussion of your work with contemporary art, art history, critical references and practical strategies. I do not impose a particular style or aesthetic. The aim is to help you understand what is already distinctive in your work and develop it with greater clarity, depth and confidence.

Mentoring is available in English or Portuguese and is adapted to your individual goals and stage of development.

Develop a deeper understanding of U.S. history, world history, government, and civics through personalized one-on-one tutoring.

I work with middle school, high school, and college students who need help with coursework, exams, essays, presentations, or simply understanding challenging historical and political concepts. Lessons are tailored to the student's curriculum, level, learning style, and goals.

Rather than focusing only on memorizing names and dates, I help students understand the bigger picture: Why did events happen? What were their consequences? How are political, economic, cultural, and technological developments connected? And how does history help us understand the world today?

Topics can include U.S. history, world history, European and Asian history, U.S. government and the Constitution, civics, comparative government, international affairs, and related social studies subjects.

Before transitioning into education, I spent 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, living and working in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught in the United States and abroad, served as a graduate teaching assistant at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland. I am currently completing Virginia's EducateVA Career Switcher Program as I transition into education.

My goal is not simply to help students improve their grades, but to help them become more confident learners who can analyze evidence, recognize connections, and explain historical and political ideas clearly.
