Introduction to Identity, Music, and Food in Creole Society

From 77 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!

We will read some of the latest literature on these drug classes. We will also explore how pharmacological studies could help inform public health legislation.

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.

Are you struggling to understand historical topics, structure essays, analyse sources, or prepare for an exam? I offer clear and engaging history lessons adapted to each student’s age, level, and goals.

I graduated from the British international school system and achieved 100% in AS British History. My strongest areas include ancient and medieval history, British history, warfare, classical civilisation, Hellenic mythology, the Cold War, and Black American history.

Lessons can focus on exam preparation, essay planning, source analysis, revision, historical debate, or the detailed study of a particular period. I explain not only what happened, but also the causes, consequences, people, and ideas behind historical events.

My teaching style is structured but conversational. I encourage students to ask questions, develop their own arguments, and build confidence step by step. Each lesson is individually prepared to make history understandable, memorable, and genuinely interesting.

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.
