Introduction to Identity, Music, and Food in Creole Society

From 77.28 C$ /h

This course will explore the history and origins of Creole communities around the world.
Students will analyze these communities through the lens of identity, music, and food to better
understand the unique blend of African, European, Indigenous, and sometimes Asian cultures,
that formed a novel, “creole” society. While special focus will be given to French Creole
communities, students will also become acquainted with a broader definition of Creole that can
be applied to Hispanic, Anglophone Caribbean, and Dutch Caribbean territories. At the end of
this course, students will confidently recognize Creole communities worldwide and will be able
to explain the history of creolization.

About Me

Hi Everyone! My name is Mr. Marc. I am a high school biology teacher in New York City and a rising M1 medical student.
I have been in education as a tutor, teaching assistant, and now teacher for the past 10 years.
My expertise is in French language & linguistics, Creole studies, and biomedical sciences. While I teach biology in the class, I have also been a private French instructor for the past 5 years. As someone from a Creole family from Louisiana, I did not grow up hearing much French. But it was always an important part of me. I started learning French as a child, and now I speak it fluently. I love teaching people my language. I also love teaching people about the Creolized communities that I grew up around. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions!

Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.

Hi!

I’m Maria Eleni, a Greek tutor based in Brussels. I’m a compassionate educator, committed to creating a supportive environment where students can thrive academically and personally. With over 10 years of experience, I help students learn Greek while connecting with its culture, expressions, and everyday life. I studied History, Ethnology, and Greek Language & Literature in Greece and am certified in Special Education & Adult Learning, which allows me to design lessons tailored to each student’s pace and needs. My lessons are friendly, relaxed, and goal-oriented, whether you want to improve conversation, prepare for exams, or explore Greek culture.
For adults who love literature, I also incorporate Greek poetry into my lessons—reading, discussing, and understanding poems to deepen your language skills and cultural knowledge.

Moving to a new country can be hard (having lived in Spain, I know the feeling). Let me support you in learning Dutch as well as finding your way to integrate in the Netherlands. As a cultural anthropologist, I am trained to build bridges between cultures, and I approach differences with curiosity. We will design a learning pathway fully tailored to your needs. I like to use your favorite hobbies as a guideline for the classes: let's make music or play games while your learn Dutch!

Speak with Precision, Understand with Depth: The Linguist’s Approach to Italian

Why settle for simply learning Italian when you can learn it with the insight of a linguistic expert? My unique lessons combine the practical goal of achieving native-level fluency with the intellectual depth of linguistic theory.

As both an Italian language and Linguistics specialist, I don't just teach you what to say, I teach you the underlying principles of why it is said that way. This accelerated approach allows you to master complex grammar and vocabulary faster and retain it longer, building a truly flexible and powerful command of the language.
