Translated by GoogleSee original

From 86 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.

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.

Greek Art A-Z is a journey into the world of Modern Greek Art & culture from the independence of the Greek State to the present times.
We will explore together all the important artistic creations and set them in their historical and social context, in order to understand their coherence, establish the direct relationship between art and the cultural evolution of each period, and connect Art with life.
Art, whether it serves religion, beliefs, ideals, passions, ambitions, hopes, or the need for communication, is a unique aesthetic experience combining myth with history and science.
The course also includes guest lecturers and artists talks as well as visits to museums, galleries and ateliers.

*Trips and in situ lectures for students in Athens or virtual tours for the web students.

Presentations, texts, images, videos, virtual collections, documentaries, gallery & museum visits*

Language: Greek, English

Are you learning Japanese but always wanted to know more about the culture and history? This course is to dive a little deeper into the culture and history - from the Early Modern Period down to the Contemporary Visual Culture. Tailored to your interests, we can combine language learning with relevant cultural topics. Literature in its widest meaning, including poems and music lyrics, or Visual Studies from traditional paintings to calligraphy or manga and animation films, and more. Drop me a message if you have a specific topic you would like to explore.

The course will be in English; however, students are advised to have a basic understanding of Japanese.

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.

Do you have to complete an essay over the summer? Or finish your essay to complete a university credit?

If you are an art student who does not know how to research, reference or format an essay, much less the difference between formal and semiotic analysis, then this class is for you.

What will you learn? What support will you receive?
I will take you step by step through the process.
You will learn;
How to identify important information to take notes.
How to create a formal analysis.
How to create a semiotic analysis.
What is a methodology?
How to reference.
How to structure an essay.
I will provide detailed feedback on your essay and connect it to the assessment criteria of your course; IB, GCSE, A level, BTEC, AP or University.
I will make reading list suggestions and explain papers to you.

I will not write the essay for you.

For ESL students, studying IELTS and Global Studies opens doors to international education, careers, and cultural understanding. IELTS strengthens communication, confidence, and academic English, while Global Studies develops critical thinking about world issues, diversity, and global citizenship. Together, they prepare students to succeed in universities, workplaces, and an increasingly connected international society.

I have experience as a teacher in a school and offer tutoring at various educational levels (ESO, Bachillerato). I create engaging classes where students can develop their skills and achieve the best academic results. I also strive to simplify complex historical concepts to make them more accessible to a wider audience.

History, geography, and art always have a place in the present day; they are experienced daily through series, films, and books. So if you need a fun way to learn and gain knowledge, I'm your teacher.

I offer private lessons in geography, history, and art history at all levels with a more attractive and modern methodology, combining various types of resources and methodologies to make the content more understandable, appealing, and applicable for the student, along with a close relationship with the student in which they feel comfortable studying and contributing their impressions and needs to the class.

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.
